Lightning and the gang sat around the fire cooking marshmallows, Fang just finished her back-story and now they are asking about Lightning's.
"Light- you want to tell us abut your story?" Hope ask, She nods as she starts telling her story.
I sat in the car, hugging my teddy bear close to my chest. I was wrapped up tight to protect me from the cold but it doesn't protect the coldness in my heart.
"Claire, you okay back there?" The social worker asked looking back at me, I nod. I turn to look at the window; the snow gave me flashbacks, horrifying flashbacks.
Flashback…
I sat on the chair next to my sleeping sister, Serah. I suddenly heard the door open and my mother talking.
"The brat is still awake" I heard her scoff, I was so used to that now. Ever since father died she has been very ill and forgetting to buy food, and looking after my 8 year old sister.
She walked up to me and struck my face.
"What are you still doing up Claire" She snarled glaring at me and Serah who has woken up.
"Mommy?" Serah says.
"I wanted to wait until you get back" I say "Why don't you get something to eat?" She says softly laying down on the bed which is next to the sofa.
"There isn't anything" She scoffs once again.
A gentle tone comes from the TV as my mother falls to sleep, suddenly voices came from outside the door and banging.
"Mom…" I say and Serah starts to panic "Claire let me rest" The banging noise starts to become louder.
"Mom!" Serah shouts but she doesn't wake.
The door bursts open.
"MOM!"
"Wait so your mom used to hit you and one day she went to sleep and never woke up?" Sazh asks softly. Vanille tears up….
Tell me if you want this to continue
