Daughter of the Devil

Chapter 4

Brett Nickols took us to a foster home.I looked at Ryan and he looked at me.
"Look, this is only temporary."
"I Know,  it's not a particularly comfortable situation." I replied.
We dressed in formal clothing and Brett took us to court.

We were escorted to a small ,interrogation-like room.It was just me and Ryan. Before we entered i over heard a conversation between two people: A man, a little husky with medium length, brown hair. "Trust me Matthew Murdock and yours truly, Foggy Nelson won't let you down. In fact Matt's right over here." Foggy,  I'm assuming (odd name by the way), looked towards a man off to the side talking into his cellphone,  and called "Matt". Matthew was a man with the red, circular shades, he was on the phone talking low with someone until his friend interrupted. He had a cane, the kind the blind used to guide themselves around.  He joined the conversion Worth Foggy and solve woman dressed like sheer was ready to take on the world with her dark pantsuit and tight bun.
The name Matthew Murdock rang a bell in my head. Before I could think into it, I was booted into the room. Once I sat down,  a woman entered.

"Hi, I'm Meghan Winters and I'll be representing you kids today." She sat in her seat,  moved her long, wavy,  auburn hair behind her ears and pulled out a legal pad. "So how are you today?" She spoke with a southern accent.

I said, "i feel the way 'frazzled' sounds."

Meghan said ," Lets get down to business. I'm aware of your situation and I will do any and everything in in power to help you."

She leaned forward to write. "How long has the abusive actions been happening?"
"Since I was 9. I remember seeing my dad, coming home with a hamdful of bottles, drinking his 'grownup juice'. After a few hours, its like his eye made it seem he was keen towards hatred , which he was. He would get angry over stuff like, unwashed dishes or a bottle of ketchup left out. Thats when his anger reaches a peak." explained Ryan.

"Would Richard ever be abusive towards Amanda for any reason?"
"Not really, he would yell at her for some reason and grab her but nothing ever got to physical, it would mostly be when hes drunk. He would hit us in the faces, legs, he would often grab our forearms with a really tough grip and yell at us."
"What would you want to improve this situation?" She followed up.
"To be anywhere, in any household where you can't feel the tension in the air from down the block."
While we waited in the room and made small talk about TV, school and such.
Richard, Amanda and two other people came in the room.

"This is a court session against the alleged abuse against two minors." The Judge stated.
"On This year's annual court- demanded inspection, it was revealed that two minors were victims of abuse from two adults, unfit for raising children or teenagers." Meghan said.
The adults talked for a little bit longer and I seemed to have space on them.
Voices just became distant murmurs. Consciousness seeped into my head once I heard my name.
"Wren and Ryan Preston will be placed in the hands of the courts until further notice, court is adjourned."
