Oops. It seems I may have lied a little. This post isn't the end of the story, there will be one more post that has the actual end of the story. This time I'm not lying, I promise!
====================================================================================
“I was hoping she’d get better over these years.” Kismet gave Nina a worried look. “Well, hopefully having parents and three meals a day will help her recover.”
Kismet grinned at Karin. Karin stopped eating and looked at Kismet, unable to believe what she had just heard. “Wait…you mean…”
Kismet nodded. “I’ve talked with this couple I’ve known for a few years about the two of you. They live in Lesai, and said they would be more than happy to make you and Nina a part of their family.”
Karin’s face lit up. She grabbed her sister in excitement. “Nina! Did you hear that? Kismet found us a new home! We can finally have food to eat, and a mom and dad!”
Nina squirmed out of Karin’s grasp with a defiant look on her face. Karin glared at her sister in frustration and confusion. “What’s wrong? We can finally go back to living normal lives again.”
“I’m staying here with Mommy.”
“What are you talking about? We’ll keep starving to death if we stay here.”
Nina hugged her bear tightly. “Mommy doesn’t want to leave home, so I’m staying!”
Karin’s eyes welled up with tears, trembling. “Nina, mom is gone.”
“No she’s not!”
“She’s dead, Nina! Dead!” Karin ripped the bear from Nina’s arms. “Mom is dead! This is just a stupid stuffed animal.”
Kismet painfully watched Nina reach out for her beloved stuffed animal. Karin began tearing the stuffing out of the bear. “See, it’s just a stupid toy!”
Nina began crying hysterically, trying to save her bear from disembowelment. “Stop it! You’re killing Mommy!”
Karin continued pulling out the stuffing from the bear, overpowering Nina’s feeble attempts to stop her. Nina grabbed a knife from next to the food and stabbed it into Karin’s arm. Karin released her hold on the bear as Kismet sprung between them and pushed Nina away.
Kismet held onto Karin, examining her arm. “Karin, don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”
Karin stared at the blood seeping from her impaled arm in shock. She couldn’t feel the pain from the wound, but she felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart. Horrified with what she had done, she watched her sister wailing hysterically, cradling the ravaged stuffed animal. The sounds of her sister’s laments, and Kismet calling out her name, echoed as she lost consciousness.

Nina is half-starving and can't manage to take her bear back but she can stab Karin with a fork? Must be a really sharp fork `-`
Yeah, I guess a fork is a bit dull for someone who has been lacking food for so long. I'll change it to into a knife.
Although, the reason she cannot overpower Karin is because she is 5 years younger and has eaten less than Karin, so she would be considerably weaker in strength.
"She couldn’t feel the pain from wound, but she felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart."
You missed a "the"!
