A distant night bird mocks the sun

Chapter 4 All those years ago

Stephanie's POV

Ten years had gone by and those first ten years of my life I thought I had seen enough bad things happening in my family than I could possibly bare.

Growing up in a family with just a mother, Aunt, two cousins and a very protective older brother, I was under the assumption that nothing or no one was ever going to come between us,or so I thought until the day the man claiming to be my father showed up at Aunt Kate's front door step.

The day he had shown up, he was met by the front end of a double barreled shot gun and a very unhappy Aunt Kate who threatened to shoot him right where he stands, if he doesn't get off her property and never in the words of Aunt Kate ' Get his sorry pathetic ugly low down son of a dirty dog face as far away from her family'

Okay, so I may have had to clean up what she said just a bit because Mike said to me that what Aunt Kate really said at the time wasn't exactly something a ten year old was supposed to be hearing at such a young age.

It seemed like from that day on everything was going to be back to normal since no one had seen any sign of the man who is supposed to be my father,and honestly I don't really care if I ever saw that man again.

There were some things that happened which I don't really like talking about that happened during these years and one of them was when we lost mama.

To be continued...
