Disclaimer: I only own Lydia.

(Thanks Guys for being interested in this!)

I rolled Charles onto his stomach, face down.

I then climbed on top of him and jumped up and down.

I worked carefully and slowly to make sure I didn't hurt him.

I felt him raise up slightly.

"Lydia?" He whimpered softly...fearfully.

He sat up.

I fell to ground at the edge of the water.

It grazed my skirt.

"Lydia?!"

He sounded close to tears.

"Right here Charles."

He turned his body around quickly.

"I thought you'd leave me here...I only remember washing a cut..."

I walked over and wrapped my arms around his arm...That was all I could manage.

"I can't leave you."

"Why?"

"Not after this...I..."

Twigs snapped.

I made a dash for the school bag, and dove in just in time.

"CHARLES!? YOU LAZY, BASTARD....WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP ME WHEN THAT VICIOUS BEAST ATTACKED ME?!"

"I..."

She dug her nails in his shoulder.

"Let's go, mister..."

"Momma?"

"Shut the hell up."

"Yes, ma'am..."

My blood was boiling again.

The boy had been through a life threating, and shattering ordeal...That his own Mother put him through,and she expected him to go on like normal?!

I'll get her...

I'll get her when she least expects it...
