Chapter 7

When she awoke for the second time, she heard a woman's voice say in hushed tones, " She's awake!"

Once again the room spun as she forced her eyes open to look around herself.

There was a flurry of movement to her right, as the door opened and a crowd of people came filing inside.

Her parents, the police, the nurse, the doctor, and, Dani did a double take, the One Direction boys, in HANDCUFFS.

Her mouth dropped open as she stared at the sight.

The band looked crushed, but they still smiled at her.

Soon the head of the police stepped up to her and cleared his throat, looking important. " Dani, about three days ago, you were attacked in this room by someone who tried to rape you and then knocked you out when you tried to scream. Do you remember who?"

Dani felt faint as she looked at her parents.

Of course She knew who!

But it was glaringly obvious who was receiving the blame as Liam shifted wearily on his feet and she saw a gash on the side of Louis neck when he turned a bit.

Harry and Nial looked a wreck; there was no doubt in her mind that her parents had lined them up for the blame, but how?

She needed to find out.

" What do you know of what happened?" She asked the policeman carefully.

" Well, we got a call form your mom and dad that they heard you choke back a scream when they came to visit you in the hospital, and when they went in these young men had you stripped naked on the floor, raping and beating you."

The policeman stepped back as Dani sat bolt upright, her face red with fury as she saw her parents evil grins and blood dripping slowly from Harry's nose.

She saw the misery in the eyes of her heroes, and knew what she had to do.

Taking a deep breath, she look directly in the eyes of the policeman and said clearly, " My mom and dad did that; the boys tried to rescue me and were framed. My parents abuse me all the time."

A choked scream of fury was heard from her mom, and her eyes blazed for just a moment before calming down and adopting a look of intense sorrow.

The band looked up hopefully at her, then her dad stepped forward, breathing heavily.

The policeman firmly stopped him, and asked if this was indeed the case.

Her father stood for a moment, then tried to adopt a look of concern instead of fury.

" She must be confused." He tried to explain, but Dani burst in.

" They did it! They always beat me, rape me, and starve me! They hate me!" She cried before her mom and dad could say anymore.

With a growl, her dad knocked over the policeman and seized Dani from the bed.

The rest of the police force drew their guns, but her dad held Dani as a shield, and with her mom, made their escape, Dani screaming the whole time.

" You won't get away this time, you sick girl." Her mom spat in her face.

" You're ours, and you will regret every word you just spoke in there." Her dad said, chuckling madly.

Dani screamed again, but her dad knocked her out before she got much out.

Her world dissolved in blackness once more.
