Coming out of the shadows.

Part 7

Familiar face.

Her breath caught in her throat as he approached her and threw his arms around her.

Sometimes his nicer side was even scarier because she never knew what was coming.

She put her face in her hands and sobbed, "Go away"

"Maddie it's me your ok now"

He patted her shoulder reassuringly and she threw a punch

As she got up and ran she crashed into another hard body and she collapsed into the strangers arms no longer able to continue. Her fight had come to an end.

Kim wasn't sure what to do. Robbie had moved away from his sister and watched his sister, with anger building up inside of him as she sat before him broken.

" She doesn't know who I am, she thinks I'm going to hurt her"

Kim rushed toward them as he saw her getting up, ready to run.

Luckily she hadn't seen him yet and he caught her small frame easily in his arms.

She let out a loud shrill scream and was silent.

"Maddie"

He was met with whimpers and he rubbed her back but stopped when she tensed.

"Matilda" he responded softly "its Kim"

Slowly her head moved away from his chest, her eyes looking up and locking onto his.

She was silent for a few moments as realization dawned in her eyes.

"Kim"? She managed to get out just before her knees buckled and her world went black.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

She awoke to see his face staring intently at her "Maddie"?

Kim stared at the young woman in the hospital bed, her eyes were glazed

She started to thrash uncontrollably thinking it was him. Kim reached out and took her shaking form

"Matilda your ok"

Her vision clearer she focused her eyes on Kim, and fell back onto the pillow, crying silently.

He took her smaller hand in his

" Your in the hospital, Robbie's here, His calling your mum, your safe now"

This only caused Matilda to burst out into loud sobs, right at the moment Robbie walked into the room, he rushed over to his sister and held out his arms.

His glasses now back on; she recognized him this time and willingly fell into his arms.

"Sshh, it's alright, everything's going to be fine," he said soothingly, rubbing her back.

Matilda clung to him, as long as Derek was out there he would still look for her, she would never be safe.
