"AHHH!!!!" someone screams,
"Louisa?", "LOUISA!!?" I scream, searching everywhere. I go downstairs and there she is, covered in blood and scratches. Dad isn't far behind. I grab Louisa's hand and we run down into the basement, locking the door behind us.
We sit down. "Louisa, what happened to you?",
"Don't worry," she says, "I'm fine".
"OPEN THE DOOR!!!!"
"Come on," "Quick." I say, then we both push against the door. Using all of our strength. Pushing and pushing, wishing and willing him to go away. We fail. He succeeds.
"DON'T YOU EVER F**KING CLOSE THE DOOR ON ME, YOU B*STERDS!!". We tremble away scared, and try to run out the room.
He grabs me by my neck. Choking me. I gasp for air. Louisa tries to unclasp his hand from around my neck but he just pushes her down. My face goes from white to bright red to blue and then to a deep shade of purple. Louisa is still trying to unclasp his hand form around my neck and eventually he does. I fall to the ground, taking big mouthfuls of air.
"F*CKING B*TCHES" he shouts, and hits me. His fist making a big bruise on my forehead. I try not to cry, but a tear spills out. "WAH! WAH!" Dad says, "BIG BABY!", "WHY DON'T YOU F*CKING GROW UP!!"
He continues to punch me, kick me, abuse me in almost
every way possible and then he finally stops, for what seems like forever.
He gives me one last kick to the head, says "F**CKING BASTARD" and then trudges off upstairs to his bedroom. The forbidden room.
Louisa runs to me and hugs me tightly, suddenly I can't see a thing, everything goes pitch black, and I fall back, motionless. Louisa shakes me and does everything she can to stop me from being motionless.
It doesn't work.
