Second Chance

Chapter 9

Hey people! I'm back with chapter 9. Thanks to lindz4567, you've been a fantastic reviewer! You've reviewed every chapter except 1 and 5, which I have to say, I find impressive. Okay, so, nightmare sequence part 2. Bold italics are Romani. Italics are Robin's thoughts.

I STILL OWN NOTHING! :(

Lost part 2

Juvenile Hall

"Hey kid! Get over here!"

I heard the guard's voice, but I couldn't understand the English words. I looked at him quizzically, and he stormed towards me.

"Stupid gypsy circus freak."

Those words I knew.

"I am not a freak!"

The guard snarled at me.

"I'll teach you to talk back to me!"

He grabbed a metal bar -a... crowbar, I thought it was called- and slammed it into my ribs. He started to laugh at me, each word he said punctuated with the bar.

"Tell me, freak, did Mommy and Daddy scream on the way down, or were they happy they didn't have to deal with you anymore?"

Somehow, even though I could barely speak English, I understood his words, and the screams that I had been holding back since I arrived there exploded out.

As I screamed, the guard just stood there, laughing at me and hitting me. I felt my bones begin to crack, and I pleaded with the guard, begging him to stop, begging someone, anyone, to help me, but nothing changed. I needed the pain to stop. Make it stop. Let me die, just make it stop! As if the world was listening, darkness overwhelmed me, and I felt my life end. But the pain went on.

"Help me, someone please help me!"

No one was there. No one came. After what felt like eternity, I felt the darkness rise in my mind, numbing the pain and pulling me deeper, then it all stopped.

Done! I know it's a short chapter, but it's all I could get. Now, a few announcements: I'm going to put this story in hiatus for a while. Two reasons. One: I want to work on something different. Two: I am trapped by the horrors of writer's block. Once I come up with a new idea, I'll write a new chapter, but until then, I'll write something else. I'm going to keep writing, don't worry, but it won't be Young Justice for a while. Sorry. Until next time, and
