ENJOY PLEASE This may be bad. I dunno.

Veronica

With another swing of his mallet, blew her back and slammed her against the wall. She cringed. She brushed it off and dizzily got up.

"I won't let you hurt her!" She managed to say through clentched teeth. A frieghtened girl whimpered .

"Mommy! Be careful!" The little girl cried. Her mother turned to them. He scowled.

The anger was building up. His mallet suddenly started glowing and transformed into a long, sharp sword. He smiled. He charged at the mother. The little girl gasped

"Mom, look out!" She screamed at her, hoping to get her attention in time.

The mother turned her head to him, his sword ripped through her stomach and through the middle of her back. Tears fell from her eyes, as they closed and her body hung there

"Mom!' The girl screamed, tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the floor.

He started laughing. He pulled his sword out of her and threw it on the ground. He started towards her. She backed up.

"Don't cry sweety. You're mother never loved you." He stopped in front of her and knelt down. "You're gonna live with me now." He pushed back her dark hair, so her blue eyes were showing. He wiped a tear from her cheek. She backed up, more terrified.

"You killed my mother..." Her eyes were stricken with fear. He nudged closer, she snapped out of shock. "No!" She screamed and started running away from him. He stood up and smiled.

"You aren't gonna get far my child. Not far at all..." A black smoke started around him. "Get her. Bring her back to me. Alive." They shadowy smoke went in all directions. He chuckled and walked towards her almost dead mother. He leaned down near her ear. "Don't worry. She'll be joining you soon..." He pulled out his dagger and plunged it in her heart. "I promise you." Her eyes grew deep and wide, then closed.

He smiled and pulled out the dagger. He picked up his bloody sword from the ground, and wiped the blood into a container and put the lid on. He wiped his dagger on his arm. He looked back at her. Then, some more smoke surrounded him. He dissapeared into it. Leaving her there in a puddle of blood. Her breathing was slowing until it came to a complete stop. She was dead.

The girl stopped running. She was deep in a forest. She was gasping for breath. Her worn out dress was muddy, it was ripped in spots. She started wondering what day it was. She was skinny. She hadn't eaten anything since before the incident. Her dark hair was now messy, and dirty. She was weak and weary. She still kept going. She was bleeding. From falling into holes, getting caught in animal traps. She was only 13 . She fell to her bloody knees. She was ill. She slowly got up to her feet. She blinked her eyes to get rid of the double vision. There were a couple of blurs a few yards in front of her. She started walking towards them. But, she fell to the ground half way. One of them heard a thud.

"Hey, did you hear that?" He asked his friend. He shook his head. The boy started to the forest and pushed some bushes away. He saw her on the ground uncontious. He ran towards her.

"Ugh...Hamtaro, Oxnard told me to keep an eye on you." The muscular boy started walking to where the boy named 'Hamtaro' was. He also pushed the bushes away. "Who is she Hamtaro? A friend?" he walked over to her and knelt down next to Hamtaro.

Hamtaro shook his head and turned the girl over to her back. She slowly opened her eyes. They had an abused look in them. A frighten, and hurt look. She said something weakly

"They...I...no...Help...plea-" She fell uncontous again. Hamtaro looked at his taller friend.

"Lets bring her to the clubhouse. Flora is visiting today. Maybe she can help her." He said confidently. He tried to pick her up but failed. His friend sighed.

"Do you ever work out?" His friend asked. As he put his arm surcurely around her, and lifted her up. "Shes light! How can't you pick her up?" he rolled his eyes.

"Hey! I don't spend 2 hours in the gym every day Panda." Hamtaro commented as the two started to their 'Clubhouse'.

Hamtaro opened the door to the clubhouse. "HamHa!" He called out.

"Hamha Hamtaro and Panda!" They said.

"Is Flora here?" Panda asked

"Right here!" A brunette girl wearing her same nurse uniform. "Oh no." She ran to the girl in Panda's arms. She was shivering. "Quickly! Bring her into the bedroom!" She grabbed her doctor's bag and ran into the bedroom with Panda, Hamtaro and the girl. Everyone gasped.

"Poor girl." Said some one sadly

"Yea...You think she has a boyfriend?" A strawberry blond boy said. A girl that looked just like him, took his maracca and hit him on the head. "Like, ow!"

"Like, thats all you care about!" She said continuously hitting him.

An hour pasted, and the four haven't came out yet. Then, Flora came out and gave the news out to everyone.

"She is going to be okay! But, she needs rest. She also needs to eat." A brunette boy's hand shot up.

"I can cook her something in the kitchen." Flora smiled.

"Did she tell you her name? Or where she was from? Or how she got here? Or-"

"Okay! No more 20 questions Oxnard!" The boy slumped

"I am worried though..."

Panda came out and closed the door slowly.

"Where's 'Amtaro?" A blond girl asked.

"He said hes not leaving her side till she wakes up"

"Oh. Okay" she answered sadly and walked back to her seat.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

Hamtaro sat in the chair next to the bed where she layed asleep. He sighed.

"I wish I knew who you were" He hung his head to look at his orange and black socks.

"Veronica."

"Huh?" He perked his head up. Her eyes were closed still. "Did you say something?"

"My name is Veronica. I am 13 years old. My Dad killed him self when I was 5. My mother was murdered when I was 10. I don't know what happend to my brother. He left when I was 8."

Tears welled up in Hamtaro's eyes. "I'm sorry"

She opened her eyes and turned to him. "Don't be sorry. You have problems at home. Don't you?" Hamtaro's eyes widened as he placed his hand on his bruised cheek.

"Yea...I do." Tears fell down his face. She sat up.

"Your name is Hamtaro, you're 14 years old. You're parents are divorce. You live with your Mother whom you hate. You're separated from your younger sister and brother. Who live with your dad. You're step Dad is the one that abuses you. You're mother just watches. Doesn't she? She doesn't do anything to help you cause shes scared." He broke out in tears. "Stop crying and look at me." She pulled his head up. "I can help you." He looked at her sparkling blue eyes.

"You can?" He asked, wiping the tears from his eyes. She nodded.
