They're here!!

" They're here! They're here!", she heard her mom excitedly squeal. She ran into the living room to see her mom clapping her hands together looking out the window.

"Who's here?", she asked?  

"Your brother and sister", she beamed happily. 

The girl felt her jaw drop and her heart sank. Why would she bring her two younger siblings to this hell hole? If they wouldn't, or couldn't, feed her then how would they feed her siblings? Why would she want them to come here? 

Later when she was older she wonders why she didn't tell her dad, please don't leave them here. Please don't.  But she didn't. As usual, she kept her mouth shut. Why? Why didn't she speak up..
