I was only out for a little while. It was so perfect out. The moon was big and bright. The air smelled fresh. And the grass swayed in the light breeze that hit against my back making my shudder a little every time it hit. I was allowed only about 2 blocks away but my mind carried me 4. I turned back around and headed home. 3 blocks. My street was a funny little name it was called klickitat. I thought it was original and fun to say. 2 blocks. I passed Ms. Edison's house and her fat cat was laying on the porch its tail swishing across the floor back and forth. It looked at me its eyes glowed it was a really beautiful cat. It was a mix of black and brown and the two colors split on his nose and went across his eyes. I couldnt pass that cat. I went up to the porch and slid my hands down its back and up its tail i smiled as it purred lightly. After about 5 minutes of petting The cat I got up and started walking home again. 1 block. My house was a 2 story house it was a periwinkle blue and it had little rose bushes in the front of the house that made the blue pop. The door was white and the window frames were too. You would think nothing wrong goes on in my "perfect home". You would sadly be mistaken. So much stuff happens there that you would not believe. My parents weren't just clean freaks but much worse. Home. I walked through the door and I was greeted by my dog Lilly. My parents weren't here. They must be out shopping again. I raced to the kitchen and grabbed the empty milk carton I had been hiding and filled it with cold water. Then went to the cabinets and grabbed a few cans of beans and fruit. I set them by the "bookcase" and walked to the fridge grabbing 3 cookies and setting them on top of the cans I breathed slowly and pulled the book that said "Cinderella" on The side and he bookcase opened I grabbed all of The stuff I had so quickly gotten and walked in the doorway flicking on a light and heading down The stairs to something I liked to call a prison. But it looked like a normal little home. "Mariah, McKenna, madalynn?" I called out. Three teenage girls walked forward and smiled they were so glad it was me and not my father. The looked at the stuff in my hands and looked at me. I handed them each a cookie and they ate them quickly then I set the jug of water in the fridge and opened a can of beans I grabbed then plopped them into a pot and heated it up for the three girls I took as my own. I scooped out enough beans for each of them and putthem in bowls grabbed some forks and handed it to them. They stood up before eating and hugged me. "Thank you hazel" mariah said. She was the youngest at 15 madalynn was the oldest at 17 and mckenna was in the middle at 17 she just turned 17 last week so I bought her a new lip gloss and new tank top that didnt show to much and a skirt that went just above her knees. I was like their mother I actually cared for them. My mother came down here to burn her cigarettes on them when shes angry and my father comes down here to attend to his "perfect family" even though he does not feed then dinner. Thats what I do. He comes down in the morning and expects breakfast to be done. While tye girls are dressed with just a little bit of make up on. Not to much. They could get in trouble. He ate with them and then went back up stairs after kissing the top of their heads. At lunch he comes down here and expects lunch to be finished. He asks them what they are going to do afterwards and they either read, knit, or watch an older movie. And sometimes for their birthday I would bring them a new movie I thought was interesting andnot dirty, so they could watch it without getting in trouble. He comes down usually at 9 p.m and sits with them and afterwards he brings one of the girls in a secret room and rapes them. I hate that word. I hate that he does this to them. I tried so many times to get them out of there.. but it doesnt work. He pays attention to them and there will be no where to go. After they were all done with their beans they went to the sink and cleaned and dryed their bowls quickly then set then in a stack inside of the cabinet. They all looked at me with thankful eyes they started to cry and I didnt know what to do. I walked up to them and hugged them tightly. We heard some thumps coming from upstairs andi told them to grab a book and sit on the couch next thing the girls knew the bookcase swung open and my father pushed a girl down The stairs and yelled "clean her up!" We all walked over to the girl with brown curly hair and green eyes. She was now the new misty. She was scared and was crying a lot. I walked close to her and bent down in front of her. "Can you tell me your name?" I asked her kindly. "Kim" she said quietly. "I really don't wanna scare you kim. But that can't be your name down here. Your name is now misty. I'm sorry misty. Now before he comes back you must shower and change into some different clothes." "Are you crazy?!?" She yelled. "No. I'm serious" she stood up and smiled. "Fine" she said. "Can you show me to the restroom so I may take a shower?" I nodded slightly and showed her to the restroom I asked madalynn if misty could borrow some of her clothes and she agreed. She got a pair of skinny jeans and a purple tank top and handed them to me. I brought them into the restroom and told her to wear the same underwear and we promised to get her a pair soon. She also had to wear the same bra too. I showed her the clothes and set them next to the towel on the sink and told her to change into that after she's done in the shower. She smiled at me and I left her to take a shower. I asked madalynn if she would make sure she gets to sleep well and changes and doesn't try anything. I depended in madalynn. She was the oldest. She was their mother when I was not around to protect them.
