Chapter 3.
'Knock knock'
"Who is it?" Sam's father slurred as someone knocked on the door.
"It's Trina. I'm bringing May home."
"Come in then"
Sam's grandma, Trina came through the door and headed upstairs where Sam's father had hollered from. She got May ready for bed and tucked her in before heading to sam's father's room. She made sure that she turned the light off and shut the door.
"What have you done to her Paul?" Trina cried as she saw the young girl's father doing horrific things to his daughter.
"You tell anyone what I do to her and I swear I'll kill you with my own hands." he threatened as Trina pulled her phone from her pocket. "What are you doing?"
"She-she needs an-an ambulance. You've got to let me call them or she'll die. I swear I won't tell them the truth. I'll say she fell down the stairs because she got beaten up on the way home from school." Trina said, very scared.
"Fine. I'll make sure she's at the bottom of the stairs. You phone the bloody ambulance and I'll be back up here in just a minute." Sam's father picked her up and carried her from his room. He carried her to the top of the stairs and dropped her down them. He went back to his room to check on Trina and make sure she was saying the right things.
"Yes, ambulance please. It's my granddaughter. She was beaten up on the way home from school and now, she's fallen down the stairs. She's unconscious and she's bleeding in lots of places. Please hurry." Trina hung up and turned to face Paul. "Was that ok?"
"Yes. Now you get down those stairs and make sure nobody sees me."
Trina hurried down the stairs and knelt down next to Sam. Her clothes were torn and shoved sloppily on her, she had cuts and abrasions all over her body, she was very badly bruised and her limbs looked displaced.
'What on earth has he done to her?' Trina thought as there was a knock on the door.
"Please help her!" she cried as she flung the door open to let the paramedics in.
She watched in horror as the paramedics bandaged, collared and splinted pretty much every visible part of her granddaughter's body. They rushed her into the ambulance and hurried off to the hospital.
They arrived and pulled the young girl into resus. There, they handed her over to the doctors who examined her thoroughly and put stitches and bandages over the wounds, casts on all the broken bones and left the collar on her neck before moving her to the High-Dependancy Unit.
