Annalise Winters shrunk up against the wall, covering her ears against the
shouts and banging in the next room. Her 16-year old mind tried to forget
that when she had walked in on her father and mother the previous
night...it wasn't really her mother in there...her mother had red hair and
this lady had blonde.
"It doesn't matter how you found out...it's all your fault..you and your bitch daughters...." her father's voice cried out. The yelling stopped suddenly and heavy footsteps echoed in the hall. Annalise sprang to her feet just as the door burst open.
"You worthless bitch..you walked in on us.." her father yelled.
"I..I'm sorry Papa" Annalise stuttered, backing up until she stumbled into her small bed.
"Theodore...please...leave her out of it" her mother cried. Annalise saw her father turn towards her mother and pull something from behind his back.
"Papa...No!!!!!" she cried as her father brought the blade in his hand down, he pulled back and a red stain blossomed across her mother's night gown. Annalise screamed, bringing his attention towards her.
"Daddy?" a voice came from the doorway. Her father turned towards his youngest daughter, wiping the blood from the knife as he walked towards her. Annalise lunged herself in front of her sister, hardly flinching as the blade pierced her shoulder. She groaned in pain, causing her father to stumble backwards. She took this moment to lash out with her foot, catching the man before her in the groin and causing him to fall to the ground with pain.
"Come on Danielle...run with me" she said, pulling her little sister out of the small house and into the streets.
*~*4 hours later*~*
"'Lise? i'm tired..." Danielle murmered, smiling hopefully up at her big sister. Annalise smiled and picked up the smaller girl, trying to ignore the shooting pain in her shoulder. She glanced behind her, vaguely aware that someone was following them.
"'Lise? I love you sissy" Danielle whispered, throwing her arms around Annalise in hug.
"I love you too Danny, forever and always" Annalise replied, wincing as her sister tightened her grip. She glanced around her again before carrying her sister to the entrance of an alleyway, near a building that was still open.
*~* Kid Blink laughed slightly at his friends, who were still singing Medda's tunes as the foursome strolled home. He glanced to his left, two figures catching his eye. There was an older girl, long red hair..and a younger one, maybe 5 years old. The older one picked up the younger girl and Blink noticed she winced slightly, he also noticed she tried to hide it. He watched her carry the young one over to a semi-secluded spot, then his eye caught the group of 4-5 men that were following them.
"Heya..guys...look...I t'ink someones getting attacked.." he said, nudging Mush and Jack. Spot Conlon turned around and laughed.
"I t'ink you'se seein' t'ings Blink" he said, punching him lightly. Just then a shrill scream echoed over them, followed by a girl yelling hysterically "You killed her...you moiderin' bastards...you killed her". The four glanced at each other, shocked.
"Well I know dat I ain't hearin' t'ings..." Blink said, starting for the alley where the two girls had disappeared. Jack called to Skittery and Pie Eater, who were walking ahead and together they followed Blink.
