It wasn’t fair.

They had always been together. Her first clear memory was of Ron, barely anything but a baby himself, laughing with her to the funniness of a yellow rubber-duck. Or perhaps he had been laughing at her, a wee little sister sitting in a tub and splashing water everywhere.

They had run under the burning sun until the night and their mother had come, and she could still feel his hand on hers. One by one their brothers had left until only they were there, still together.

And now she was left behind. Alone.

It just wasn’t fair.

She was crying for the first time.

She had been too scared to cry before, and too stubborn. No one could know of the blank spaces in her memory. She didn't want to admit to anyone that she couldn’t control it.

She didn’t understand what had happened, not completely. She would, in time, but now she was too relieved to think about it and listen to what was said. Her mother was hugging her tightly, afraid she would disappear again. Her father hadn’t said anything, he just held her hand, relieved she wasn’t dead but safe.

Now she could cry.
