Chapter 2: Explain
"How did this start? Why was dad so angry again?" Hermione asked ,facing her mother and Amarisa sitting on the couch across from her. Amtrisa was in the kitchen getting everyone ice and something to drink.
"I'm not sure exactly." Kris started. "But I think he was drinking in his den again. Then he came up stairs and found me. We started talking about Hermione and everything about Hogwarts. He got mad because I wouldn't let him take you out of there. He became furious and started throwing things around the room. Then, he hit me in the eye." She was starting to cry. Hermione got up and sat next to her mother.
Amtrisa walked into the room. She set the drinks on the table and gave the ice to everyone else and sat by Hermione. They all sat on the couch and watched the fire(in the fireplace). Hermione soon fell asleep and Amarisa carried her to her room. Kris helped Amtrisa up the stairs to Hermione's room. Amtrisa got the worst beating of all. They all decided to sleep in Hermione's room for safety. They were afraid Devon would come home angry.
Hermione woke up and looked around the room then at her watch, it was 7:00 a.m. On the quest bed was her mother. On the floor was Amarisa, Leesil, Devrik, Latisha, Kurt, and Amtrisa was closest to Hermione. Hermione was too tired to get up so she went back to sleep. She needed her sleep, but was afraid.
Amarisa woke up shortly after Hermione had fallen asleep again. She checked her watch, it was 8:00 a.m. She looked around and got up. Amarisa went to her room to get clothes and went into her bathroom. She quickly hopped into and out of the shower and got dressed. Then she went to make breakfast down-stairs. First, she checked the basement, where his room was, and his den. She couldn't find him. So Amarisa made breakfast quickly without having to be quiet. When she was almost done Kris and Kurt came down closely followed by the little twins, and Amtrisa.
"Where's Hermione? Is she still sleeping?" Amarisa asked to everyone.
They all nodded, for they were too tired to say anything.
"Ok. Well, dads not here and I'll be right back. Help yourselves to breakfast." She called when she was half way up the stairs.
Amarisa knew that Hermione woke up in the middle of the night from horrid nightmares. She had had them since she was 6 years old. Though Hermione never told anyone what they were about. Hermione was moving around in her covers violently and kicking and punching. She opened her mouth as if she was screaming, but no sound came.
Amarisa sat on Hermione's bed shaking her. "Hermione!" Amarisa said loud enough so it didn't reach the kitchen. "Wake up! It's just a dream. Shhh. Hermione It's ok." Hermione suddenly sat up and opened her eyes crying. Amarisa held her tightly and tried to calm her sister down. "It's ok Hermione. It's ok."
Hermione wiped her eyes and looked at her sister.
"I'm sorry." Hermione half whispered.
"Don't be. Why are you sorry."
"Because I ruined this family the day I was eleven. Even before that. When I was five! I'm 16 and can't control my dreams. You and Amtrisa take care of me still!"
"No! Hermione you stop it! Dad has always been this way. We all love you. Don't you ever think differently. Ok. Listen, no one can control their dreams. If they could no one would have any. We all take care of each other. We take care and protect you because we do care and love you." Hermione hugged her sister. "Are you ok now? Do you want some breakfast?"
Hermione wiped her eyes and nodded her head.
