It was just after midnight when a woman's scream filled the air followed by a man yelling and cursing. It was Halloween night a single mother had taken her two children to her boyfriend's family home for some trick or treating and then some scary movies. Everything was great they all had so much fun. And when the children got sleepy they were put in to one of the guest rooms that had two twin beds ready for them. But some time in the night the mother and her boyfriend had a small argument that bloomed into a full blown fight. " COME BACK HERE LINDA!" " NO, NO MORE I'M LEAVING DAVE I'M GETTING MY KIDS AND I'M GONE!" As she turned and started to walk out the room to fetch her children. Dave grab the phone off the wall and struck her in the back of her head with it. Linda fell to the ground, as she tried to clear the sudden dizziness and get up he hit her again and again. " LEAVE ME...LEAVE ME YOU FUCKING BITCH NO ONE WALKES OUT ON ME!" Her crying and screaming along with Dave's yelling had woken Linda's tow sleeping children. A six year old Girl named Jennifer Rose and her younger brother Tommy. Tommy looked to Jennifer fear and tears shinning in his eyes " Mommy.." He whimpered, Jennifer got up and walked over him hugging him. " It will be ok." she said this time Tommy said between sobs " Mommy!". Jennifer made him look at her She held up a figure to her lips and said " Shhh, stay here and be quite ok?." He nodded,she gave him her favorite teddy bear before leaving the room but not before saying one last thing to her little brother." If some one other than mommy or me come in hide ok." he nodded again and Shut the door behind her. she made her way as quickly and as quietly as she could. She got to the room her mom's screaming and Dave's yelling was coming from. The door was cracked a bit so she cracked it opened a little more just enough to see what was going on. What the young girl saw made her blood run cold then hot with anger. She was scared but when Dave raised the phone to hit her mother once again. her rage took over and all fear was pushed aside. Jennifer raced in using her speed and all the strength she had to push Dave off her mother which ended up knocking him to the floor stunned for the moment. she rushed to her mother's side and tried to help her get up. "MOMMY,MOMMY,GET UP MOMMY GET UP!" But her poor mother couldn't move she was to hurt. she tried to lift her mom but her mother was to heavy.
In a whisper she heard her mothers despot voice. " Run, Run baby!,Get your brother and go get help now !" " now with tears in her eyes Jennifer nodded The look in her mothers eyes and the yell of "NO!" made the girl turn but she couldn't move out of the way fast enough to avoid what had happen next. Dave had hit her in the head with a wooden baseball bat And was now dragging the stunned girl down the hall.
He opened a door and tossed her in slamming and locking the door. Jennifer didn't know what had really happened but she felt dizzy, her head hurt and she felt wetness on her head dripping to her face. It was dark, so dark she couldn't see a thing. And all she could hear was her mother yelling then a smack sound Dave yelling again and her mother crying. Jennifer felt helpless,hopeless and then the fear creeped in. The fear of not being able to help her family, of being locked in this dark place, the fear she and her mother were going to die all that fresh fear had not gone unnoticed.
