The girl who flew

Chapter 8

Yelling.
Crying.
More yelling.

Shaking, Kath was on the phone.
999 What's your emergency?
It's my Dad. He's yelling at my Mum, he wants to see me. I know what he's going to do
Okay, the police are on their way, how old are you sweetheart?
I'm 13.
Okay, and have you seen your dad in a while?
No. And all i know is that he wants to hurt me, his other daughter recently passed and now he's using me.
Kath was breathing heavily. She hated hearing her mum cry. She didn't cry often so when she did something was bad. She was letting him get to her.
He was yelling. Loud.
Police are nearly there love. Okay?
In the distance she heard sirens, getting closer, until they were right outside the house.
"WHO THE FUCK CALLED THE POLICE??"
The police banged on the door and Kath's mum fought her way to open it.
She heard handcuffs. Then silence.

Kath broke down in tears, curled up into a ball, shaking. She didn't know what to do, she'd just heard her Dad, who she thought was nice. Yell. At her mum. She heard the door open and shut again. Mums left, Where did she go?
Came to the conclusion that she went to her friends.
Her email notification went off.

Hello my dear Kath,
I want to tell you what has happened, but sadly i cannot disclose. Don't worry it's not bad. No deaths, no nothing. I'm sorry you couldn't cope in school today. I understand completely, you need days off.
Please try and talk to your mother, for me okay? Maybe you can sort it. I'm always here.
Miss C
Kath read this through tears in her eyes, she started typing a reply.
My dad... my dad came home and started yelling at my mum to see me. That was why he was acting strange, he'd come around another day. We knew he wanted to hurt me. I heard it all, whilst on the phone to the police, they took him. He yelled. She cried, but now she's gone. And i don't know where.
I'm not going into school. I cant. I'm scared.
She sent it. Calling her mum after.

Mum? She said shaking.
MUM?. The phone was static.
MUM?
She heard crying
Kath?
MUM! where are you
I'm ok. I'm going to nans.

Kath got up and Ran to her nans house, to make sure she was actually there.
