Broken *ON HOLD*

Broken- Ch2

I shove the rusty old key into the lock of my front door. Once I get it open, I push the little girl inside. I realize her slightly frightened look,"Im not a rapist or anything." I say,"That... Would be weird." I comment awkwardly.

The little girl stands by the door as if afraid to move, her skin is tan and her face and clothes are dirty. "You can sit." I say as I sit myself. She does and asks,"What's your name?" I open my mouth, then close it,'should I tell this little girl my name? Yea who cares, she's like, what? 9?'

"Alison, you can call me Ally." I say,"Whats your name?" I ask. The girl actually has to think, she's either planning to lie to me, or, no ones asked her that in ages.

"Maddison, you can call me Maddie." She says and gives me a toothy grin,"Im 9!" I tilt my head, trying not to looked shocked, this kid was nine and had to go through all that shit? I instantly feel sorry for her.

"Maddie, your just like me..." I say,"You see these... Things, too." I sigh,"I know." She says and nods. Maddie looks up with shiny eyes,"Will you protect me." Quickly I nod,"Of course!" I say. Maddie looks down, playing with her hands,"But, he'll hurt you." She says sincerely.

I shake my head quickly,"No no it's ok.. I.." I hesitate,"Im used to it." I finish quietly. Maddie snuggles into me, I flinch at her sudden movement. "Maddie do you go to school around here?" I ask.

I can feel her shake her head,"No, I don't have a home or family, so I usually just go from place to place.." She says quietly,"Oh." I say sadly,"I don't have any family either." Maddie pulls away from me,"You live here? By yourself?"

I nod,"With no memory of my family whatsoever." I add,"Really? Me too.." Maddie says. "Ally, what if we were meant to belong to Them?" Maddie asks. I know what she means,"What? No! Of course we're not, what makes you think that?"

Maddie sighs,"Well we're the same, same eyes, and family background." She says.

Ok, that's pretty clever, but I still refuse that we belong to anyone. I don't do homework, because Im not going to school tomorrow, I'm staying home with Maddison. Plus tomorrow is Friday, so I'm gonna have a three day weekend.

As day turns to night, I fear about the demon that I had provoked earlier. Surely he was coming tonight to screw me. Or mess with me really, really bad. And I don't want Maddison to be there to watch.

"Maddie I think we should get to sleep.." I say gently. As if not thinking, Maddie shakes her head,"No." I sigh,"Maddie, it's ok, no ones gonna hurt you." I promise.

Maddie still seems unsure,"But I have to protect you." She explains,"We protect each other.." She says and holds my hand.

"We really need rest." I say. Maddie considers this,"Okay, but I have to sleep with you."

I cringe, she can't sleep with me tonight! He's coming tonight,"Uhm... Maddie, I don't think tonight will work." Maddie tilts her head,"Well why ever not?" She asks. I look down,'should I be truthful with her? I'm not that good at lying....'

"Well you see.." I begin, but Maddie continues,"That guy, demon, I mean, he's going to come get you. And you don't want me there..." She says.

Damn.

"Not.... Not exactly..." I look at her and she gives me the,'I'm not a retard.' face. I sigh and hold her small hands,"Please Maddie just sleep in the guest room for tonight.." I plead. Maddie looks down,"Ok.." She whispers quietly.

I pick her up,"Lets go, I'll show you the bedroom that's nice and warm. I set her down, she seemed genuinely excited to sleep in a bed. I just smile at her.

I kiss her forehead and tuck her in. The final 'good night' seems to pain her a little. Which pains me. Before I walk out, I hear her say,"I love you." I swallow,"I love you too." I croak.

Man. That girl gets attached easily.....

I toss and turn, I was as scared as hell. I slowly sit up and check my alarm clock, 1:30 a.m. it reads. I relax myself,'Ally shhh it's ok.' I tell myself, I turn on my side and steady my breathing.

And of course, with out warning, I feel two cold hands easing up in my shirt. A husky voice fills the silent night,"Were you waiting for me?"
