"Speaking" 'Thoughts'

-8- You fell away, What more can I say? These feelings involved I won't let them out. I can't replace Your screaming face. Feeling the sickness inside -8-

She woke up panting. 'Not another nightmare…' she thought she hopped out of bed and went to the bathroom to splash cold water on her face. It was storming outside a dull blue light flooded the bathroom threw the window just before she turned on the light. She proceeded to the sink briefly glancing at her reflection. 'God I'm so pale' she thought taking a towel out from under the sink to dry her face.

Her hair was a fairy red and fell into waves down to her lower back. She buried her face in the towel and then stood up to gaze at her self in the mirror. Violet eyes stared back at her as she recalled the dream.

A child was running as fast as her tired legs could carry her. She ran into an alley and jumped on some garbage cans to climb up the fire escape. She hid in the darkness of a window sill, the air burned her throat with every breath she took. She then heard heavy footsteps behind her. He caught up to her much faster this time. She heard him stop and look around slowly he walked into the alley. The little girl squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath and prayed to the gods that she wasn't found. The man lost interest and left the ally glancing around to see if anyone saw him then he jogged away. She let out a sigh and stared up at the night sky how much longer could she last?? When she thought the coast was clear she climbed down and peeked cautiously around the alley. She then walked to the edge of the alleyway and looked to her left. Nothing she slowly turned her head to the right only to have a hand reach out a grab her by the hair.

"Where did you think you were running off to??" Her father yelled

"I'm sorry daddy I'm sorry!!" she squealed her eyes filling with tears as she struggled to free herself from his grasp.

"Sorry's not good enough sweetie" he growled and took out a knife "you have to promise never to do it again" he said inching the knife towards her exposed neck

"No!! Daddy don't!"

That was when she had woken up

But that wasn't her life anymore. She was no longer the scared little girl Born into a broken family. She sighed and walked back to her room. She slid under the covers and rested her head on the pillow knowing she couldn't fall asleep she laid there in deep thought.

After the night her father had tried to kill her she was placed in a foster home while her father was taken into custody. She loved her foster family she had been with them for 8 years now she smiled at the memories so full of joy. She loved her foster parents Sakura and Toya they of coarse had kids of their own Sakuya and Touboi. Touboi was older than she was but Sakuya was younger. This was now her family 8 years ago if anyone had come to her and told her she would someday have a happy family; she would have told them they were mistaken that was not meant for her.

-8- Why won't you die? Your Blood and mine. We'll be fine, Then your body will be mine -8-

He walked up to the house it had taken him a long time to find it but he didn't care he had finally found her. He smiled wickedly as the rain pounded down on him. He walked up the brick stairs to the door, he knew she was there he could feel it. He would claim what was rightfully his even if it had to be by force. He rang the doorbell and waited. It may have been eight years but he was family. He saw the door creek open and a mans face look at him threw the crack. He smiled at him.

"Can I help you?"

"I believe you have something that's mine."

With that he lunged at the door knocking the man flat on his back.

-8- So many words Can't describe my fate. These feelings involved So soon to break out. I can't relate To a happy state Feeling the blood run inside -8-

Something didn't feel right…. she threw back the covers and cautiously approached her bedroom door. She took a deep breath and peered threw the threshold. She saw a shadow entering Sakuyas room. Her heart lunged into her throat the figure was too big to be Toboi, Toya, or Sakura. Her family was in trouble. She ran across the room to her phone and pressed 911 leaving it off the hook as she silently searched her room for a blunt object. She found a metal baseball bat in the closet and made her way toward Sakuyas room. Using the shadows to her advantage she kept an ear out for any noise. She heard sheets rustling and turned to look inside. A man loomed over her sleeping little sister. He was watching her sleep with a knife at his back. Her hands began to tremble on the bat she swallowed and gripped the bat tighter slowly walking toward him as he leaned down knife braced above Sakuya. She swung the bat with all her might and felt the bat tremble in her hands when it hit him. He went down with a thud but he wasn't out. It was enough to wake up Sakuya.

"Run!" She reached over him to grab Sakuyas arm only to be knocked back as he gained his feet. She hit the floor and lost her grip on the bat. She pushed herself up and saw him grab Sakuya and slit her throat just as she was preparing to scream. He dropped Sakuya and turned around to face her. Her eyes swelled with tears as she took off at a sprint around the house. She ran into Toboies room and saw red. His mouth was open and his eyes gaping blindly at the ceiling. She heard a sound that could have been her. She didn't know where she was going anymore she ran blindly around the house stopping at Sakuras door to see her dead hanging halfway off the bed. She dropped to her knees and vomited. They were dead, all of them. She heard steps behind her coming down the stares. She ran for the front door stumbled and over Toyas body. She pushed herself up and stared at his body. Her hand rested on his chest she felt it rise and fall ever so slightly she smiled weakly hoping he was still alive. She checked his pulse and tried to open his eyes. She found a stab wound on his side. It was deep enough to have hit vital organs and he had already lost so much blood.

'How long has this man been in my house?' she wondered before she realized it was too quiet. Rather than turn around she checked the shadows and waited for a blast of lightning. It illuminated the room and tossed his shadow over her. She gasped and then turned to see him looming over her.

"Hello sweetie… did you miss daddy?" he hadn't changed not one bit in 8 years. He wore a grin fit for a lunatic as well as a bushy beard. He backed her into the wall a scream trapped in her throat making it burn. He'd killed her family every one of them. He grabbed her by her hair and dragged her up to her knees.

"Daddy's little whore can't escape that easily" he whispered dangerously holding the knife to her throat.

-8- Why is everything so fuckin hard for me? Keep me down to what you think I should be. Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry? Keep on trying I won't die so easily -8-
