Fighting Destiny

Chapter TwentyFive

"There's something about you

and I'm finding it impossible to stay away.

Whenever you're near, 'I love you' is all I want to say."  

Someones crying. Is all I thought over and over I didn't want to open my eyes to see who it was. I'm too tired my back is in pain my head is running strains of thumping against my skull and I'm cold. I'm never cold. In frustration I opened my eyes.

I looked up at a ceiling it was painted it had me on it I was smiling happily holding a little girl who was smiling as wide as I was. Behind our bodies looked like a field since kids looked as if they were kicking around soccer balls.

Looking around the room it was small. I'm lying on a wooden bed that is all that's in here I think I'm in a cabin of some sort. Crying reached my ears once again and I climbed out of the bed following the noise. I walked out of the room and right in front of me is another door. I opened it.

In the corner of the room is a little girl. Her black hair draped over her face her knees pulled up to her chest , she was hugging herself as she cried. I closed the door behind me and she jumped and tightened her arms around her knees .

"Pwease no hurt Ella I - I wont see mommy no more. Ella Pwomise."

"Ella? " I walked to her wrapping her in my arms. "Why are you so cold ?"

"Mommy! " She said happily wrapping her arms around my neck. "You here it work! ."

"Are you okay? Where are we ?"

"Hes a bad man " She said sadly. "He-"

I heard footsteps I quickly thought and forced my scent away. Grabbing Ella off the floor. I climbed out of the window with her in my arms and jumped down. Glad we were only on the first floor of the cabin . It was so cold here snow collected on my bare feet. I then realized I still have just my bathing suit on.

I began to run. The wind was harsh against my skin but still I ran.

"Ella?"

Her tiny legs were wrapped around my waist and her arms on my neck her chin rested on my shoulder.

"Were you here the whole time?"

"Yes he no lemme leave so I see you"

"Can you do that now for me I don't know where we are baby."

"Kay stop moving."

I ran a little further then stopped.

"Close eyes."

I closed my eyes as she said. Just as I heard foot steps approaching they were gone. The cold air was gone as well I opened my eyes and realized I was in my room. Ella still clutching me. I sat her on the bed and knelt in front of her.

"Hes hurt me."

"Why ? Why would he?"

"Him hate you , I look like you so he hurt me."

I sighed. I don't understand this. I have a daughter? Someones hurting her she's been locked away in some cabin she can teleport . I'm left completely confused. How'd I get to her anyways? I shook my thoughts away that's weird to ask a four year old but I have too know. Later , right now we both need to bathe.

"Whens the last time you showered " I asked walking towards my drawer.

"I don't member."

I pulled a sponge bob T-shirt from the drawer and a pair of old shorts. For me I found grey sweats and a simple black T-shirt "Come on lets get you cleaned up." I said walking to the bathroom and opening the door and flicking on the door. She didn't budge I frowned at her.
