The Oak in the Wild

I am now addicted to Young Justice! I just had to write a fanfic for it! With romance, of course.

Sparkly love from sparkleeyes20.

An Oak and her Family

I was casually walking through the forest as I always do at this time. I was also humming lightly to myself. I bent down to a berry bush. Just what I was looking for! Food. I began to walk back to my home with my three other 'sisters'. They aren't really my sisters but I like to call them my sisters. I mean we did grow up and spend pretty much all of our lives together but we aren't related by blood or appearance. Why not call ourselves siblings with each other? It makes sense to us. I yawned lightly. Looking up, I noticed the sun was just on the horizon. Perfect. I would get home just in time. You know, it's amazing that I'm taking care of me and my sisters. Did I mention I'm only thirteen? And my sisters are all older than me? Oh well. It was my idea to run away from our real parents so I'm fine with taking care of everyone in our household. I put the handle of the berry basket in my mouth and grabbed the rope latter that hung from our tree home. I climbed up to our deck, set the basket down, and pulled the latter up. Precaution, so no one could come up and attack us during the middle of the night. I picked the basket up once more and went inside our home.

"Roxie! Lily! Brea! Where are you?" I called after shutting our front door.

"Here!" a small feminine voice called back to me.

I saw the brown hair of my sister, Lily, before she came up to me. I gave her a quick hug, letting go quickly to avoid crushing the berries. I next saw my strong and silent sister, Roxie, enter the room after Lily. My sister Brea, who also had brown hair, came into our living room/kitchen. We all sat on the floor with the full basket in the middle of our small circle. We ate the berries of different colors and tastes in silence. By the time we were finished, it was completely dark outside. Lily stood up and yawned.

"I think I'll go to bed," she told the rest of us.

"Okay. Good night," I said.

"I'll go to bed too," Brea told me.

"Me too," Roxie agreed.

"Good night to you two as well," I told them.

They walked into our bedroom. There was just one bed room so we were a bit cramped in our rooms. We manage though. I picked up the home made broom from in the corner of the, and I'm just gonna call it this from now on, living room. I walked out the front door and swept the porch off. After this was done, I locked the house up to keep out unwanted 'guests' before going into the bedroom. I heard four different breathing patterns that all matched the way my sisters breathed when they slept. I was happy to see that they were sleeping soundly. I must admit, because of the jackpot of berries I found, we ate better than we ever had our entire life. I yawned again while changing into my pajamas. I took my unnaturally golden blond hair out of its braid then climbed into my bed. I would have to face another day tomorrow but I didn't care. As long as my sisters are fed and healthy, everything else doesn't matter to me. I smiled before drifting off into a deep, dreamless sleep.
