I'm ok

Prologue

As I sit here now I wonder how is it that I survived this. I wonder how I'm not insane or worse..

Let's start from the beginning shall we. My name is Sage, I was nine years old at the time this story begins. My older brother Thomas was ten at the time and my youngest brother Jake was five. My mother Victoria (most people call her Vic) was thirty and her husband of the time Bates was thirty-one. You could say he's the bad guy of the story. I've always thought of him as an evil man but some people might not see it that way. I'll let you decide for yourself on that one.

It was the first day of fall. My brothers and I were in the back of the little black car we've all come to love, singing along to the radio when my mother, the only other person in the car, turned it off. Of course us being the little kids we are started to whine "Why'd you turn it off?" She turned around totally ignoring us with a face I've never seen before, it was entirely serious, she didn't have the twinkle in her eye I've come to known and her mouth was poised like she didn't know what to say. She finally spoke "You would tell me if anyone were to touch you inappropriately right? You know you can trust me to get you out of that situation."

My siblings and I all thought well duh of course you're our mom, but none of us said anything aloud. I spoke up about five minutes later saying with a shaky voice "What if it's your dad?" That my friend is where it all began.
