Words/thoughts:

The picnic was over but Ellie still had three days left at the Randensmith family's summer home and she was going to savor every last one. The picnic had been so much fun but they were all stuffed from the food. Which was why when Ellie and Amelia where walking around the house and found their grandma taking out chocolate chip cookie, ingredients. Huh? But the picnic is… over?Ellie thought to herself, just as their Grandma looked up.

"Ah kind of you to join me!" She said, "Want to join me in baking?"

Ellie looked at Amelia, shrugged and smiled, "I would love to Grandma!"

Ellie and Amelia both walked over to where their Grandma was measuring out ingredients, taking a bag of flour, and measuring cup, Ellie set to work with Amelia working beside her.

After the ingredients had been measuring, and mixed together, her grandma decided it was time for a special ingredient. She took out a little bag of yellow powder, sprinkled a little on saying, "So that they don't get mold!" and placed on the pans in little cookie, finally putting it into the oven.

"Just like when you were just little children!" Her grandma exclaimed, smiling.

Ellie and Amelia smiled back at her. While the cookies were baking, they set to cleaning up the Randensmith family's summer houses kitchen. It was perfect, right as the last dust of flour had been swept up, the last measuring cup picked up, and the last drop of milk was wiped away, the timer dinged and the cookies where finished.

Her Grandma took them out and let them cool, but not before handing them each one, “save this, for when you need it most.”

What is that supposed to mean? Ellie thought, Save for when I need it? Ellie thought about this as she slipped this hot cookie into her pocket. Amelia did the same, looking just as confused.

With the cookies done, the girls headed up to their rooms. Little did they know how different their life would be, in a day.

That night the girls slept peacefully. It was just like any other night, Amelia was sleeping in, while Ellie woke up early. Ellie went into the kitchen where her grandma as normally having an early morning tea, but she wasn’t there. Knowing her Grandfather was a heavy sleeper, she walked into her grandparents bedroom. She tiptoed over to her grandma’s side. Her grandfather’s chest was moving, but her grandma’s was still as a rock. Still, in moving. Ellie put a hand on her Grandma’s chest to see if there was any hint of pulse. Nothing. Silence. Ellie started feeling tears in her eyes as she walked to her grandpa’s side of the bed to rouse him awake.

“Grandpa, grandpa.” She whispered between tears.

He woke up, noticing her tears, “What’s wrong?”

Trying not to cry, Ellie said, “Grandma.”

Confused, her grandpa turned to look at his wife. His shoulders started shaking when he noticed how still she was. He tried shaking her, but of course she didn’t rise. Tears started falling down his face.

“No, no, Catarina!” Her grandpa said, “It can’t be your time already!”

Deciding to give her Grandfather a moment, she walked out of the room. Not knowing where to go, she went to her parents room and woke them up, telling them the news. Her father started crying, her mother started crying and got up to walk to her father’s parents room.

Next, she went to Amelia’s parents. They had quick a similar reaction and went running to the grandparents room. Nw for the last people, her cousin and sister. She had been dreading this the most, how were they going to react? She walking carefully.

She shook her sister then tried to rouse Amelia up.

“What is going on?” Her sister asked when both of them were awake.

Ellie took a breath, tears streaming her face. “It’s Grandma, she’s, she’s dead.” Ellie took the last cookie her Grandma had made out of her pocket and more tears came.
