"Taliah! Come here you peice of trash!" Nigel yelled.
I quickly ran down the stairs and stood in front of him not making eye contact.
He was sitting on the couch breathing in that nasty toxic smoke. His eyes were blood shot almost as if he had gotten very severe pink eye.
"You know what you did." He said. "I'm sorry." I whispered.
I tried to escape today. I showed my teacher my scars but she thought I was mentally unstable and called Nigel.
He said I would regret ever breathing when we got home.
He stood up and put out the toxic stick, he stumbled closer to me and gripped my neck tightly.
"I told you you will never. Escape me." He whispered in my ear.
He breath reeked as if a skunk had died in there. Of course I'd never say that to him. He'd kill me.
He held my neck so tightly it felt like steel was across my neck.
He dropped me on the floor leaving me gasping for air like a fish out of water. He kicked me in my stomach and continued telling me I'd never escape him.
He pulled me up by my hair and stood me up on the ground as I suppressed screams.
"No matter we're you are. No matter how far you are." He paused. He came closer to my face making me want to puke everything I've eaten this week up on the floor.
"I'll always find you." He whispered.
I was ten. Young and naive.
I woke up in a cold sweat. There were arms that were holding me down and someone was smoothing my hair down.
I opened my eyes and saw all five of my brother around me with a worried look on their faces.
Ace and Vincent were holding my hands and legs down, while Asher was smoothing my hair down.
Matteo was sitting next to my bed with a terrified look on his face, and Romano was just looking at me. I couldn't even defier his emotion.
Ace and Vincent leg go of my body as I curled up in a ball.
"Nightmare, sorry." I whispered.
"Everyone out except for myself." Romano said.
Ace tried to plead his way in but Romano glared and her left while giving me one last look.
"What was it about?" He asked as he sat on my bed. "Nigel." I whispered.
"Want to talk about it?" He asked. I shook my head telling him no.
He just nodded and walked out my room.
I thought he might hug me, kiss me, i don't know even pry for me to talk.
