Warning: Has to do with abuse and parts of Candy getting raped. Nothing to specific

Abby's Happy Life

Chapter 20: Court

Candy POV

Today I need to go testify against Richard. This will be scary as hell. Embry, Seth, and Abby are going to be there. Abbs is going to testify right after me. We need to be there by twelve so we are rushing to get ready. I was ready and Abby was barely putting on her makeup.

"Abbs, hurry up. We need to be there in ten minutes."

"Okay, I'm coming. I'm coming."

We barely made it to court. I was called up to the stand first.

"Tell me Candy, what did your dad do to you?"

"He..ra-raped me," Tears starting to flow from my eyes.

"Why didn't you tell him to stop, or call the police?"

"He said he would kill mom and Abby if I put up a fight or told anyone. He was upset that Abby threatened to call the cops on him. Mom was afraid, so she didn't do anything. Later, she told me not to call the police. The next day I ran away and moved to Forks where I found my sister."

"Why did he rape you?"

"He was pissed off and thought that he should have a little fun since Abby wasn't around. He never wanted it to end. So if he did go to jail he would remember the feeling or raping me. I hated it. The pain was terrible, but he liked to see me in pain. Sometimes I just wanted to die"

Embry was shaking violently where Seth pushed him out of the court room. For a few minutes I was asked question until they call a few other people to the stand. Abby was last because she knew little then everyone else.

Embry Call

What the hell? I can't believe that dumbass of a father raped his own kid, killed his wife, and threatened all of them. Where the daughters ran away and the wife dead. He was a sick bastard. I will never let him see or touch Dulce ever again. I was shaking when she was talking about how it felt and why he did it.

"He was pissed off and thought that he should have a little fun since Abby wasn't around. He never wanted it to end. So if he did go to jail he would remember the feeling of raping me. I hated it. The pain was terrible, but he liked to see me in pain. Sometimes I just wanted to die."

That did it. I wanted to phase and go rip his head off. Seth pushed me towards the door out of the court.

"Dude, you need to calm down. You don't want to cause a scene. Sam and Jacob Would probably be pissed off and rip you to shreds. Just think about Candy."

I thought about how beautiful my girlfriend is. I imagined her in my arms, us on the beach. She looked up at me. I looked down to her and saw her beautiful eyes. I snapped out of my daydreaming to find Seth waving his hand in front of my face and snapping his fingers.

"Em, we need to go back inside to support Candy and Abbs."

We went back and sat down just as Abby was called to the stand.

"Abigail, why did you run away from your family?"

"Richard was very abusive to me, Candy, and my mom. As you heard my mom was killed by him," as she pointed towards Richard.

"And why didn't you take your sister?"

"She was around eight. How would I be able to tell a eight year old that we need to leave our mom? I was fourteen at the time. How was I able to take care of her if I was barely able to take care of myself?"

"Point taken. What did my client do to you?"

"He said he would put me in check, which meant the bed. I would always try to listen, but if I messed up, he would slap me across the face over and over again until I cried and when his hand print was on my face. Sometimes he would use his belt if I hid from him. I learned over a few months that I should listen and make sure to do everything right. I didn't even hide anymore. I was getting sick of it, so I ran. I left a note saying I will tell his secrets to the police, and that he would never find me."

"Thank you. You may sit back down."

We waited for the jury to give us the verdict.

"Richard Vandergil, charged with statutory rape, found guilty. Charged with second degree abuse, guilty. Charged with murder, found guilty. Mr. Vandergil, you are sentence twelve to life in prison. Court adjourned."

I hugged my imprint. I was so happy that that poor excuse of a father was going to jail for what he did.

"Baby, you know I love you and I will do anything to protect you?"

"I do Embry. I love you back the same way. Always have. Always will."

I gave her a quick peck on the lips where we found Seth holding a very emotional Abby. She let go of Seth and went to her sister. They both cried of happiness. They stopped crying and we headed out to celebrate. In the hallway, we pasted by Richard. He had a creepy rapist look on his face. Once we pasted him, I turned to see if he was looking and he was.

"Stop looking at her you creepy bastard," I snarled.

He looked scared at first, but went back to staring at the girls. I growled and the guards finally pulled him into a room.

"Baby, you need to calm down or you'll phase in front of all these people, " Dulce whispered.

I nodded and we headed off to the diner.

What do you think? I get chills just thinking of people just like Richard.
