Baby 2
I was playin' outside mindin' my own business. I had been suspended from school because I stabbed this one girl in the neck with a pencil. Too bad it didn't go deeper. She made me mad when she made fun of my dress and my family. When I told her to stop she hit me. Hey she deserved it. I made it seem like it was an accident that I stabbed her and everyone believed it. 'sides the way I was carryin' on no one would disbelieve me at all. Anyways' I was playin' outside when daddy called me over. I ran over happily wonderin' if he was gonna give me some of his famous fried chicken or sneak me a sip of his apple cider he got from Uncle Charlie. I run over and slow down my face twisting slightly when I saw a young girl…younger than me standing beside him. That was MY daddy. What was she doing with him? "Baby girl, this here is your new sister. Her name is Sydney and you best be nice to her. She's stayin with us from now on." Daddy warns in his gentle but serious voice. I stare at the girl curiously and she stares back.
"Wanna play?" I ask all bubbly. Sydney nods and runs after me. We run to a vacant field where Otis sometimes takes leftovers that didn't turnout right. I sit down and she sits across from me. "I have a knife. Wanna see it?" I ask. Sydney nods. I grin and reach back into my hiding place and pull out a huge fucking knife. I bring it towards her and her eyes widen. She asks if she can hold it and I let her. "Be careful or daddy's gonna kick my ass." I warn. Sydney grins and makes a stabbing motion to her gut before handing me the knife back. I grin. Sydney was weird and a bit timid but she was warming up. I liked her already. I asked if she met the other members of the family and she nods. She even told me about Earl The Ass. I warned her to be careful around him. He was a nasty guy and wasn't afraid to use his fists on anyone regardless of age and if he knew them or not. Sydney nods and states that he said he wanted me to come see him when I was 18. and that he would force me if I refused to. I knew what he meant even though Sydney did not. She thought it was harmless pouncing. He would jump on me like Otis sometimes does and pin me down call me a few names then let me go.
I know he wants me to come see him when I'm 18. But the pouncing would involve torn clothes, a fight, maybe even pregnancy. I knew what he meant by that. I cringed. He wouldn't do anything or try anything nasty to anyone younger than 18. He has hit me before and I didn't tell Mama or Daddy. Especially not Daddy and never Otis. If I did then Earl would be in deep trouble. 'sides its fun seeing him get all mad and flustered and sweaty. I play with my new sister to the early evening when it was cooling down some. It was nearly dinner time and we had to be going home or daddy would tan both our hides. Me and her walk side by side as best friends back to our home. I am happy to have her as my sister.
*crap ending I know but I was running out of ideas.
