Sanctuary
Part 8
Zack walked back down the hall as if in a dream. Once in the bedroom he went to the window. As a small squirrel ran through the snow towards a snow laden oak tree he suddenly started. Looking at the clock he noticed that he had been standing there staring out the window for an hour.
After a moment he noticed the sound of music coming from one of the cabin's other rooms. In his mind he kept seeing Melanie sitting there on the bathroom floor with her hand outstretched. "Could it be?" he thought. Deep in thought Zack stares unseeing as the snowflakes start to fall.
Sade's "By Your Side" plays in the background.
You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
"Could it be?" Zack whispers as he stares out the window.
*******************
A young girl lay weeping on the ground. "Get up,you useless piece of crap" a man yells as he kicks at her. The girl deftly avoids the kick and partially raises herself from the floor.
"Stop it," a young boy of about ten cries out. "She's sick. You'll hurt her." As the boy moves toward the young girl several men grab him. It takes four of them to hold him down as he struggles.
"Micky, Micky, look at me" he screams as several men drag the girl away, "It will be all right Micky. I'll find you Micky. I promise."
As the boy stops the girl pulls her head up and looks at him. Bright violet eyes stare back. Violet eyes that are covered in tears. "Don't worry," she says, "I'll be back soon."
