Little Lockwood

1.2 Broken

Linkin woke with the feeling of the sun on his face and a roaring headache. His mind was foggy as he tried to remember what happened. He thought hard trying to break through the haze. Its felt like his head split open as flashes of the night pierced the fog.

Drake handing him the beer.

Then Drake tried kissing him but he pushed him off.

How he began to feel woozy and numb.

Begin dropped onto the ground.

His body jolted up, eyes snapping open with a horrified ghasp. Linkin became painfully aware of his lower bodys throbbing. His panicking an fear ridden eyes taking in his surroundings. It took a moment befor he realised that he wasn't in the woods anymore, but in his room at Shelia Bennett's house.

He was only relieved for a moment. He couldn't remember how he got here or what happened after Drake did what he had done.

Hot water began to pool burning the back of his eyes. Pain flaired through his lower back as he brough his knees to his chest and the tears started to fall, his lips trembeling.

Sheila hadn't slept at all that night feeling off. She just blamed it on her choice of drink, that was until the child she considered her own was brought home unconscious. An by a vampire no less. She had not been able to sleep or get many answers out of the stranger who had brought Linkin to her. But what she did know almost broke her.

She was walking by his room the 100th time in the past few hours when she heard his ghasp. Immediately she went to his side gently bringing the redbface and tear ridden into her embrace.

The elder Bennett had seen Linkin go through alot of things in the time she has known him. But never had she seen the boy break down like this. Not from the abuse of his so called parents. Not even from the bullying of his brother or the other children at his school. Her own tears began to fall as she did her best to comfort him with gent words.

Hasn't this child suffered enough. Her face morphed into one of a mothers rage as she spoke her next words. "I vow to you my child. I will brings hell on those that have hurt you." She promised placing a kiss on his shaking head. I'll show them what messing with a witch's family will rought.

Sheila began to feel drained. She quickly looked down too see the crying boys hands glowing a dark orange. The longer the glow stayed the more she felt like her magic was waning. She was shocked into a quiet stillness.

The sudden silence broke Linkin from his tears. He started to fell a hit of energy pass into him making him open his eyes with a deep inhale. He saw Sheila looking down almost tiredly as her eyes began to close. Worried he looked down to see his hands glow a sun set orange. Frightened he immediately jumped back out of the bed letting go of the woman. He let out a noise of discomfort at the burning pain in his back. But seeing Sheila faint on his bed he pushed past the pain trying to wake her up.

"Shelia?..." Nothing. "Grams?" His voice trembled. He went to shake her arm but his hand glowed again and her breathing hitched. He put his ear over her mouth and heard light shallow breaths.

"Grams, please wake up!" He pleeded as his heart began to race.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god." He wezzed.

What do i do, what do i do. The phone! Linkin painfully ran to the living room ripping the phone off it box. He dialed 911 racing into the room again.

"911, whats your emergency?" A womans voice asked.

"I don't know whats happened. She's fainted and I don't know what esle to do." His viice trembled as his eyes began to well again.
