His Lullabye.

1.

Bella's POV.

"You ready??" Vern whispered in my ear, still holding my puny body against hers. I nodded my head, with an excited grin. "Okay! 1... 2... 3!!" She laughed, and let go of the tire swing. I screamed with laughter, like any 12 year old girl would do on a tire swing.

After spinning, and rocking back and forth, I got a little queazy and called out to my big sister to stop me. "Vern! Can we stop now?? I don't feel so good.." I looked around, feeling really dizzy. I saw her with a guy. It seemed like she was kissing him, or hugging him.. I think it was both..? Everything went black seconds later.

I woke up in my room with pain on my shoulder. "Owie" I whimpered. I looked around and saw that this wasn't my room. "Hello?" I called out, breathing hard. I was scared real bad. Maybe someone kidnapped me!!

I heard the door knob jiggle, and ran across the room, hiding behind a basket full of smelly clothes. My shoulder hurt bad, but I ignored it, as I peeked at the door. It opened and a guy walked in, looking at the bed I was just laying at with a confused look. "Belly..?" He called out. I gasped.

Only my sister called me Belly!!

Before bursting out into tears, I then watched my sister rush into the room. "BELLA!??" She called out, lifting up the covers and pillows. "Verny!" I squeaked and ran from behind the smelly basket of clothes. Vern spun fast, and the look of relief reflected off her face.

"Oh, there you are" she breathed out, opening up her arms, which I gladly jumped into, holding her tight. "I wanna go home" I mumbled into her shoulder and eyes the mysterious guy carefully.

"We are home" she smiled and put me down, and grabbed my hand. "What do you mean?"

"Lemme show you around" Vern smiled and led me out of the room, into a garbage-covered living room. "It's a little messy now, but we'll clean it up" the guy shrugged from behind me.

"No Vern, I wanna go to our home" I told her. Maybe she thought I meant this creepy guy's house. "Belly, you need to understand that this is our home now, wether you like it or not" Vern said sternly and roughly detached her hand from mine.

"B-but why..?" I stammered, stepping a few tiny steps back.

"Don't worry about it, okay? I'll explain everything to you later, so go take a shower" Vern stated as if I was some type of slave. I didn't appreciate it one bit, but I hate her bad side, so I did as I was told.

Coming out of the shower, I saw something a little girl shouldn't have seen. "Verniee!!! Are you okay!!"

Wow, complete cliff hanger huh?? HAHA soooo....... This was short, and I haven't been writing in forever, so I'm sorry. But don't worry, I gotchuuuuuu!!! -ME c:
