Thanks for all of your reviews and ideas. Sorry I haven't updated. I have
been busy with school, dance, and drama. Hope it was worth the wait and you
like it.
I don't own any of these characters except for Rachel.
~*~* The Court Trial *~*~
When they woke up they all started to prepare for the trial. Rachel was feeling really nervous. It was scary for her to testify against her mom and to have her mom go to jail. But she was also nervous about what would happen if her mom didn't go to jail. Everyone sensed Rachel's fear and tried to help her feel more comfortable. As they walked into the court room there were many news reporters trying to talk to Rachel, Kevin, and Lucy. Apparently the word got out and since the Camden family was involved, it was an important story. When Rachel saw her mom, she started to cry. Ruthie comforted her and told her that everything had to work out. Rachel's mom had a really mean and nasty look on her face that was telling Rachel that she was mad. Everyone swore to tell the truth and the court session had begun. Kevin went to the stand first.
"When did you notice that something was wrong with Rachel?"
"She always seemed a little off around women. Ruthie saw her back one night and then the next day they went riding. Rachel said she had fallen off a horse to protect her mother, but when I saw the bruises I knew that they couldn't have formed that dark within an hour."
Kevin was talked to a little more and then it was Ruthie's turn.
"I saw Rachel's back one night and then decided that something had to be wrong with her. The bruises were huge and looked very painful. After her mom came to our house and hit her and slapped her while at our house. Rachel was crying and when I asked what was wrong she told me that her mom said that she would physically kill her if she told anyone about what was happening."
Ruthie talked a little more and then Rachel went up to the stand. This was very hard on her to have her mom sitting right there while she testified against her.
"When did this all start?"
"About 2 years ago."
"What did she do?"
"She would hit me with baseball bats and punch me. She also slapped me and other things on my stomach and back so that they would be hidden."
"Why did you run away?" "To get away from my mom and to look for help. I couldn't take the pain anymore. I needed a way out. I thought it was all my fault that my mom was hurting me. After I talked to Reverend Camden, he told me how it was her fault and I wanted to end the pain." At this time she was crying hysterically and was having trouble finishing up her turn but she did successfully. She wanted to give it her all and did this by thinking about a new life ahead the one she had dreamed about for a long time.
Sorry I am leaving you hanging but I wanted to try a cliffhanger. How will her mom testify? What will the judge say? What will happen to Rachel? PLEASE REVIEW!
