Hello?

Daddy says he's gonna use that gun on Mummy! No, I'm... in the cupboard 'cause Mummy told me to run away. No... He didn't shoot it yet... Help! He says he's going to hurt my Mummy!
Colin. I... Uh...Number seven! Number seven, Ev... Evargah street, Epping. Send them really fast! Hurry!
Pardon? Ye...yeah, I'm under the stairs. Like Harry Potter. Me too! M... movie.Yeah, but I didn't see the others. Mummy says they are too scary. Anyway, Daddy smashed them one night when he was angry.
But Harry Potter had a bed in his cupboard and all I got is Mummy's itchy blankets that smell like old people. Also Daddy's heavy weights are poking into me. It's re...really dark. There could be spiders. What if a spider eats me? I don't like spiders. Once a spider was in my room at night on the roof in the corner. I...I told Daddy to kill it but he said I was being a sook. Mummy killed it and we flushed it down the toilet... Really? Were you scared? I'm never going camping then, a spider might jump on my head too.
Mummy is crying! W... why is... is Daddy scaring her? Did the policemen find our house now? Okay, tell them to hurry! Please?
Heaps. They always yell and scream. Then sometimes... Mummy will have a black smudge on her lip or blood on her forehead.
I... I don't know! I only saw Daddy's gun then Mummy told me to hide! But Mummy can't hide like me, Daddy is yelling at her loud. I hear her crying too. But Mummy never cries! She's a grown up like you. Wha..? Uh huh.
Not always. Mummy and Daddy used to be happy. We used to play games and watch Tom and Jerry together. Me and Mummy like Jerry best but Daddy likes Tom. He always gets upset when Tom loses Jerry. But I don't get why he wants Je... Jerry to be eaten.
Well... It started when that vampire lady came. Mummy was at work so I stayed home with Daddy. Then a big black car like Cruella de Vil's came.
Huh? Yeah, I like that movie too. The puppies are cute. I asked Mummy and Daddy for a puppy once but Daddy says they are too messy. Then one time Mummy took me to a pet shop and I got to pat the puppies. She said one day she will buy a puppy just for me!
Um, after... After the car came... the vampire lady got out. Because! She had a really white face and red lips! Then Daddy opened the door and the vampire lady attacked him!
I sneaked down the stairs missing the creaky steps 'cause I'm real good at sneaking, you know? Well... Ye... yeah. I was scared the vampire lady ate Daddy so I had to go see. Then I saw Daddy had the vampire lady on the couch. He was holding her down so she couldn't attack anyone no more. But then I... I saw the vampire lady wasn't attacking Daddy; it... it was kissing him.
I said 'ew' on accident and Daddy and the vampire lady got up. Daddy said my name and I ran up the stairs fast. This time, I made heaps of noise and forgot to miss the creaky steps.
Are the policemen here yet? No... b... but are they going to save Mummy? In... in the lounge room. Can the policemen see them? Tell them to hurry. The stairs? Uh huh. I can see Mummy and Daddy's feet in the light under the door. There are shadows when they move around. Yep.
Do the policemen have gu... guns? That's how you know they are good policemen. One time at school Jackson's dad came. He's a policeman and he had a gun too.
P... pardon? Well, later Mummy came home, she asked what we did all day. Daddy lied and told her we watched TV. But we didn't. Daddy was with the vampire lady all day and I was hiding. Mummy tells me not to lie because lying hurts people but I had to. Am I going to get into trouble for lying? I didn't mean too. M... maybe the policemen should go away so I don't get in trouble. Are you sure? I guess... Did you? Woah, I didn't know grown ups lie.
Hm? Yeah, the vampire lady always comes over now. I have to stay in my room and make up games. I pretend I'm a prince with a sword and I fight monsters. But I have to be quiet so Daddy doesn't get angry.
N... no... she didn't. She thought the lies were true 'cause I couldn't tell her they were made up. I wanted to tell her but I was scared Daddy would get me. Uh huh.
Then Mummy starts acting weird. She asks a gajillion questions about what I eat for lunch and what I do every second of the day. I have to lie because I am scared Daddy and the vampire lady will get me.
It's really hot in here. Did the policemen stop Daddy yet? I wanna come out. Oh... okay. But-
Hm? No, they used to only yell at first. Then Daddy started hit... hitting Mummy but I couldn't tell anyone. Is Daddy going to hurt me because I told you? What if he gets me with his gun?
What are the policemen doing? Mummy and Daddy aren't yelling no more. They are only talking. I'm scared. I can't hear what they are saying now.
Uh... Yeah. I didn't used to, but then Daddy started getting su... super mad and it was really scary. Like when Daddy broke the DVDs. Mummy told me to go to bed and didn't even say goodnight.
Daddy wasn't there in the morning after he smashed everything. He stayed away for all the mornings afterwards but tonight he came back.
He smelled funny so I pinched my nose. I knew he was drunk 'cause he was swaying like it was windy inside. Um... Yeah. Lots. He yelled really loud and Mummy told me to go to my room but I didn't do nothing wrong. I said, "but..." Then Daddy hit me.
My eyes went funny and I couldn't see for a few seconds. Yeah, it... it still hurts. But I'm not a baby so I didn't cry.
Mummy told me to run. I came here in the cupboard under the stairs so Daddy won't find me with his gun. B... but now I want to help Mummy, what if Daddy gets her?
Um... Daddy got the gun out of his jacket, I saw it before I closed the cupboard. Mummy says guns h... hurt people and I didn't want Daddy to hurt Mummy. That's why I got the phone from the coffee table and then sneaked back in the cupboard.
Okay, I'm listening. I'm a real good listener. W... why? Okay... I just have to move Mummy's blankets. I'm... I'm lying down now. Can I lie on my tummy instead? Okay. Mummy's blankets smell funny still. I promise I won't move. But ca... can I still talk to you? Okay but-
What was that? There was a loud bang. Did you hear it? My ears hurt! They feel funny and I can't hear anymore. The cupboard door moved. It's too dark but... what happened? Di... did daddy shoot the gun? Can I sit up yet? But I'm scared.
I'm trying... I'm good at whispering. At school we always play Chinese Whispers and it's really fun. But I'm scared now. I can't help it.
Wait, I can't hear Mummy and Daddy no more. I want my Mummy. I'm sorry... I'm a big kid, not a baby. Big kids don't cry. I know... I'm trying, but I can't! What... Did the policemen stop Daddy? I want to come out and see Mummy now... Why? I don't want to stay here. It's too dark. But... Oh...Okay, I guess.
I he... hear footsteps. Someone is opening the cupboard door. I want my Mummy. No it's not! I'm scared!
What do I do? Mummy? Mummy? I want my Mummy!
I want my-
