Emma's POV
I woke up at seven on my first day of preschool. I jumped out of bed and bounced to momma and daddy's room. I opened the door and jumped onto their bed. I started tickling them. Momma laughed and daddy groaned. "It's my first day of school!" I squealed.
Momma laughed as plopped me onto lap. Daddy laughed and ruffled my hair. "Hey, watch the goods!" I yelled. Momma started laughing then.
Auntie Eve then came bouncing in with Unkie Michael leaning against the door. "It's your first day of school! Come with me I'll make u more fabulous than you already are," Auntie Eve screeched.
"Yay!" I yelled and we skipped out holding hands.
"Don't goth up my daughter gothula," daddy screamed.
"Shut it Mr. Mc-Stabby!" auntie screamed back I giggled.
We got in my room and auntie started looking for my outfit. With auntie's help we decided on my purple striped long sleeved tee, my black leggings, my purple tutu, and my purple light up sneakers. Auntie put my hair in pigtails and she gave me her black pearl necklace. I smelled bacon and shot downstairs.
I climbed up the stool and ate my breakfast. After I ate momma helped me put my backpack on. Momma gave me a hug and a kiss then held my hand. Daddy grabbed my other hand and we all went in the living room so Uncie Michael and Auntie Eve could say bye to me.
"Are little girl is growing up so fast," Auntie Eve cried as she squeezed me.
Uncie Michael just ruffled my hair and said, "Good luck kid. If anyone tries to give you trouble tell them your dad is Shane Collins and your Uncle is Michael Glass. They won't even dare mess with you then."
"Thank you Uncie Mikey. Love you Auntie, love you Uncie, bye bye," I said.
Mommy and daddy then walked out the door holding my hands again. I practically skipped to school. When we got there momma was tearing up and daddy had a stone cold look on his face. We went in and they helped me find my class. The teacher introduced herself, "Hi I'm Mrs. Winegarden." she said, "Who is this little cutie?"
"This is Emma," Momma said. "Emma, do you want to go play while daddy and I talk to your teacher?" I nodded and hugged them both really tight then skipped off to play with some toys.
I was playing with a dolly when this boy came up. "I'm Emma!" I said happily.
"Well I'm Braydon and this is my and my friends spot so move."
"I don't see your name on it," I said.
"Yeah because you're to stupid to read it."
"My dad is Shane Collins and my Uncie Michael Glass so back off or they'll hurt you."
"Oh I'm so scared. My dad is the new Captain Obvious and my Uncle is Oliver. So move or they will hurt you and your family." One of his friends gave me an Indian burn so I ran away.
Mrs. Winegarden came back in after that. Class started after that. We first had coloring time. She gave all the girls princesses to color and the boys superheroes.
We then had outside play time. I ran to the monkey bars. When it was my turn I grabbed onto then and started swinging. I made it to the next one and the one after. I was having so much fun when that mean boy from earlier pushed me off. His friends formed a group around me. When I stood up they started pushing me. I fell back down and they kicked me in the sides. One of them stood on my leg. I was crying by then. Right when they stopped I jumped up. Some of these kids were vampires. They had long pointy teeth and pale pale skin. I didn't know how they were in the sun but then I looked up and saw a glass cover over the building which must have been vampire sensitive.
I was really scared so I ran inside. I went to the classroom and grabbed my backpack. Mrs. Winegarden wasn't in here because she was still watching the kids at recess. I don't know how she didn't see those bullies but I guess she didn't care. I ran out the door of the school and into the heat. I was really sleepy from not having nap time yet but I ran down the sidewalk. I remembered how we had gotten here so I ran back home. My braids kept hitting my face and my leggings were torn so the air was stinging my cuts. I saw my house after what felt like hours.
I climbed over the fence because the lock confused me and ran to the front door. I banged on it. My leg was really hurting from them standing on it so I had to lift it up. Daddy opened the door just enough to see who it was. His face was guarded until he saw me. He looked really worried now.
"Emma what are you doing home?" he asked.
"They hurt me daddy," I whispered.
"Who hurt you?" daddy growled.
"The mean kids. They pushed me off the monkey bars and kicked me," I whimpered.
"Come inside baby," daddy said. I limped into his arms. "We're going to go upstairs and clean you up then I'm going to talk to that teacher of yours. Okay sweetie?" I nodded and daddy carried me upstairs.
Daddy set me down on the bathroom sink and got the first aid kit out. "Lift your arms over your head so I can clean your cuts off. I did then daddy pulled off my shirt. He put some stingy stuff on my cuts on my arms then wrapped a bandage around my middle. He then took my shoes, pants, and tutu off to clean all the scratches on my legs. He finally wrapped my ankle and put mermaid Band-Aids on my cuts. "I'm all done baby let's get you in some clean clothes."
Daddy carried me into my room. "Do you want to wear your pajamas or just some comfy clothes?" Daddy asked.
"I want to wear my Scooby Doo jammies," I said. Daddy helped me put them on. They had scoobies head on the front and his tail on the butt. "Do you want to take your nap now?"
"No! I too scared," I whimpered.
"Okay baby we can go downstairs and watch TV." I crawled into daddy's arms and he carried me downstairs. "Are you hungry Emmy?"
"Always," I said. Daddy laughed and set me down on the kitchen counter.
"What do you want?"
"Pb&j."
"Okay sweetie." Daddy made me my sandwich then brought us both onto the couch. I curled up to him as I ate. When I finished daddy but my plate onto the coffee table and I snuggled into my daddy. Two episodes of Scooby later I was asleep.
Shane's POV
How dare those evil children harm my little girl? She is so innocent. Currently Emma was asleep with her head in my lap. Her school still wasn't over and Eve and Mikey were expected home any minute. I wasn't sure how to explain to everyone without storming off and trying to kill those bastards. Nobody harms a member of my family, especially my baby girl, and gets away with it. Today was Claire's day student teaching at the old high school. I don't know what she will say about this. She'll be pissed, that's a given, but will she let are daughter go back there? Will I?
Emma started squirming in her sleep and her eyes were moving franticly behind her eyelids. I tried to rub her back calmly but she flinched away. "Emma, honey wake up." Her eyes shot open and she started crying. I gathered her to me and rocked gently back and forth. Yeah that's right the Great Shane Collins soothing a four year old.
"Daddy I had a nightmare. Those vampire kids bit me and drank my blood," Emma whimpered. There were vampire kids?
"Don't worry baby. Your mom, uncle, aunt, and I won't ever let that happen."
"Okay daddy. Daddy I hurt," Emma whined.
"Aww baby. Where does it hurt most?"
"My leg and chest," Emma whispered.
"Do you want an icepack?" She nodded so I grabbed one from the freezer. I was situating it on her leg when the door opened.
"Hey Shane I'm on my lunch is Eve here yet we were supposed to meet here for lunch," Mikey said.
"Sorry man, haven't seen her since breakfast," I replied.
"Uncie Michael, you're back!" Emma shrieked. She hopped off the couch and tried to run to Michael but put weight on her leg and whimpered. I immediately grabbed her and put her back on the couch.
"Emma if you don't want your leg to hurt don't put weight on it," I advised.
"What's Emma doing home from school already? Why does her leg hurt?" Mikey asked.
"These kids beat her up. She ran home," I ground out.
"What! How did this happen?" Michael yelled.
"They pushed me off the monkey bars and kicked me," Emma cried.
The phone rang and I answered. "Shane where is Emma? The school called she's not there," Claire yelled on the other end.
"She's home Claire, something happened. We need to talk."
