• I awoke in the morning to a death curdling scream coming from downstairs. I ran downstairs pushing Luna back into her room as I did so. "stay"! I called back to her as i ran downstairs only to find myself hurled onto the floor next to my grandma's bleeding body. "Grandma", I choked grabbing her shoulders. "Grandma wake up"! I screamed shaking her. "She's not going to wake Lyla and neither are you when I'm finished with you", I heard a sinister voice from behind me say, I knew that voice too well not to kn ow who it was. "Why"? I asked without turning around. "Why grandma she never did anything to anyone"! I screamed tears pouring down my face like a thunder storm the lighting in my heart busting every second. "Because she took Lola and you away from me", He said in a sad tone. "No we ran away"! I screamed. "Why"? He asked. "Dad look at me"! I screamed holding out my arm and then turning around and lifting up the back of my shirt to show the spots where I had been hit so hard I started to bleed. "I, I, I didn't do that"! My father yelled. "No you did, you just don't remember because all you care about is pot and alcohol you never cared about us"! I screamed throwing the only thing I could find at him, witch was a loose brick from the near by fire place. It hit in right in the head and then I heard a loud scream coming from upstairs. "Lola"?! My dad screamed attempting to run upstairs. I grabbed another brick and threw it at him, then I ran past him up the stairs to Lola's bedroom. Lilly was in there packing Lola's stuff while trying to get her to climb threw the window onto the maple tree to escape. "Lyla I'm not going without you"! She yelled as I came into the room and locked the door behind me. "I'll go Lola but you need to get out first"! I whispered shoving some more of her stuff back into her suit case. She nodded then climbed out the window. "Lilly you need to go too if father see's you here", I said horrified. "Lyla I already battled him once and won I don't think he would risk loosing again", Lilly said pushing me out the window. "Meet me by the old run down bridge I'll bring your stuff there go now and run fast"! She yelled shutting the window. "No"! I cried banging my fists against the window. "No Lilly you have to come with us"! I screamed. For the longest time I sat there in the tree waiting for Lilly to return but she never did. 'Maybe she's waiting for us by the bridge'! I thought and then scampered out of the tree in a rush. Lola sat on the ground reading her favorite princess book sleeping beauty, it was the only book of mothers father hadn't destroyed.
