Coming out of the shadows

Part 3

Stolen Innocence

Kim couldn't believe everything he had heard. The girl he had last seen when he left the bay, was confident, gutsy and strong, she was sweet but you could sense when you came in contact with her, she wasn't one to let anyone walk all over her.

Not that he could say he knew her very well, mostly she was just the younger annoying sister of his best mate. But yet he couldn't help but care, He had lived with the Hunter's briefly and considered them like family.

It was hard for him to imagine Matilda getting mixed up with the wrong group of people. When he first met her, she was snobby and posh, and beachy people were considered slobs. But as she grew, she matured. And according to Robbie, when she met Ric Dalby was when she completely changed.

She had sudden compassion and a connection with the troubled teen, and surprisingly they struck up a strong friendship, which turned into a whirlwind romance.

That was until almost a year later when he broke it up with her.

"She was devastated" Robbie's words echoed.

"She lost it, was cranky and mopey for months, and when we all finally had had enough mum told her to get over it, that's when she went off the rails, Dave latched onto her like prey and she got mixed up in his group, she lost all her self worth, and somehow my little sister's innocence was stolen, she went away for days at a time and twice came home drunk"

Robbie had shaken his head and looked somewhat sympathetically at Kim

"You've come home and I've dragged you into this nightmare"

It was dark as she crawled around on her hands and knees desperately searched for something, anything that could help her, she was near the bed, she stuck her hand under there and screamed as what could only be a mouse ran past her, now breathing hard her hands caught onto something metal she lifted it up and her eyes widened in shock.

It was her mobile.
