Depths of Hell

Ch 3

I screamed and felt myself run over to her and holding her head. I started to cry Brittany was screaming something while "mom"stood there in shock.

5 hours later
We had went to the hospital blood was all over my clothes. I was sitting in the waiting room my knees up to my chest. I was crying softly cause "mom" had yelled at me to stop crying so loudly. Brittany was just sitting next to me with tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

The hospital waiting room was dark and musty, there were chairs everywhere. The receptionist desk was first thing you saw when you walked in. I was feeling sick looking down at the blood on my clothes. We finally looked up when the doctor came out. He looked at mom and said.

Doctor: you are very lucky you got her here when you did, a second later and she would have been dead. Any idea on how this happened?

Ramona: I already told you she was shot and came home like that.
She answered coldly and pushed past him and walked into the room to see her. Me and Brittany got up a few seconds later and walked into the room.

Luna was sitting there and staring at the wall as mom yelled at her. Brittany finally snapped and walked over and slapped her. Hard. Which caught lunas attention, she looked over and stared as Brittany screamed at our mom.

I stood scared at the door covering my face, you weren't suppose to be crying in this family. I heard a soft voice which didn't sound like Brittany call me over. I looked up and walked over to Luna. She held out her arms I crawled into the bed and laid in her arms. She was holding me like I was a child but I didn't mind.

Brittany finally stormed out of the room with mom yelling after her. Me and Luna sat in a comfortable silence for awhile.

Luna: you okay kid?
She asked finally knowing that I cared about her. I couldn't answer though I was just in silence before nodding my head in response.

Luna: listen raven, you have to make sacrifices sometimes in this family, okay? You have to stand up sometimes even if you could die, you have to fight back. If you're not strong you could get killed easily. Wether it be by someone out there or family.

She said, I was silent listening to her beating heart.

If I could go back in time I wish I listened to her....
