TW: beating, death, police, suicide & blood
Winter 2018

Charlotte is curled up in the corner of the room covering her ears and keeping her eyes shut tightly. Her father is beating her mother to death. She keeps taking small peeks to see if he is going to stop but he doesn't.

After another hour she hears a massive bang causing her to scream and jump more into the corner she was sitting in. She then hears another one causing her scream again before she opens her eyes once more.

She sees her father laying on the floor dead, she looks over and sees her mother lying on the floor blood all over her and the floor and a bullet straight through her head. She crawls her mother and lays on top of her crying begging for her to wake up but nothing works.

She lays on top of her mother until she hears the front door being knocked down causing her to hold onto her mother even tighter even if she is dead she still feels somehow safe with her mother.

"Hey sweetheart, are you ok?"A woman bends down beside her and her mother, she nods her head and continues crying hysterically holding onto her mother for dear life.

"Officer Martin we need to get the girl out of here she is traumatised and terrified, her mother is dead and she is covered in her mothers blood because she is laying on top of her holding onto her"The officer says into her walkie talkie.

"Can you come with me sweetheart?"The officer offers her hand to the young girl, she shakes her head no and grips onto her mothers shirt tightly.

The officer has to pry a screaming and crying Charlotte off her dead mother, she never stopped crying while the officer was putting her in the back of the police car to bring her to an orphanage.

The officer knocks on the orphanage door and is met with a very lovely looking woman with a smile on her face until she sees Charlotte in her arms.

"Oh my god, oh please come in"the woman says moving to allow the officer to come in with the young tired girl.

"I'm officer Martinez, this little girl was at a crime scene like this, her father had just killed her mother before killing himself just seconds later, she was found laying on top of her mother's body covered in bruises and cuts and burns from maybe metal rods, we would like her to stay here until she finds her forever home"The officer explains to the woman, the woman nods before taking an exhausted Charlotte out of the officers arms.

"Thank you, I will get her record file off the government tomorrow, bye now"the woman says closing the door after the police officer.

"Mama"Charlotte whisper tiredly not knowing where she is at the moment but to scared and tired to fight her way out of the woman's arms.

"I'm sorry honey, mama's gone, she's gone, but this going to be your home until you find your forever home with a new mama and papa"The woman says making her way into one of the bathrooms upstairs.

She bathes Charlotte gently so she doesn't hurt her because of her cuts, bruises and burns. She grabs a towel and wraps it around her before drying her off gently. She walks into one of the spare bedrooms and sits her on the bed with the towel wrapped around her securely.

The officer from earlier walks back in quietly with a bag of her clothes and also a massive hoodie.

"This is her clothes and here is one of her mothers hoodies maybe she would like it so it remind her of her mother"The officer says handing the bag to the woman, the woman thanks her before showing her out and walking back upstairs to Charlotte's now new room.

"Now honey, my name is Molly Honey but you can call me Ms. Honey or Molly, what is your name?"The woman asks the little girl.

"Charlotte Jones"she whispers just loud enough for the woman to hear, the woman nods and lays Charlotte down in her bed while Charlotte clings to her mothers hoodie before falling asleep.
