The Story of Kelly ( Book One )

Manipulation

    Soon after I washed the blood off, I noticed their mother watching me and the younger sister from the doorway. She looked upset with the daughter.

    " get out! You've been in here for way more then 5 minutes. "

    " yes mother." the daughter says as she slowly gets up takes the towel and walks out of the room. The mother walks up to me and sits in a chair by the dresser.

    " hello, I'm sure you know me as Mrs Hall. But now Call me mother. "

   " I would rather call you Jenny. " I said trying to sound nice while being rude.

   "NO! I am either Mrs Hall or mother. Do you understand that child? "

   " yes Mrs Hall " she got up and called Christopher.

    " Chris is coming, for now he's gonna be responsible for your actions, he's also going to bring your food. Until you understand the life style of this family. " Chris came into the room and sat in the chair. When the mother left Chris went into the bathroom and ran water.

     He then carried me to the tub and placed my bleeding ankles into the warm water. He left the bathroom and closed the door. I could hear him sit on the bed waiting for me to come out.

    " I'm going to try my hardest to get you Completely comfortable here. And I'm going to be the nicest person to you. "

   " your sisters, there nice too. " I said wondering how far I can push him.

    " no. Just me okay? I'm the only person you are friends with." Chris got up and knocked on the door. " are you okay? "

    " yes can you please help me though my ankles feel swollen." Chris opened the door and looked at the tub full of red water. He looked at me as if he was surprised I wasn't reacting the way I usually did. He rinsed My arms and ankles then carried me to the chair where he sat me down and began telling me how his mother's met his dad.

    " well one night my dad was driving down to a mall and seen my mom talking to some man. They were arguing. My dad said he walked over to her and she was crying so he took her out to eat and brought her some jewelry. Then he got her number and 5 years later I came."

    " do you by any chance know the man's name? " I asked because I remember my father telling me about something like this. But his story was more about some women wanting to marry him and take all his money.

    " yes, his name was Derrick Ross and he supposedly left my mom for some women named Julia knights " the thought of them being my parents felled my head until he said the names, those Where my parents names until they got married now my moms name is Julia Ross.

    '' that's my father in the story. " I said softly.

    " I thought so. " he said as a cute but slightly bitter smile grew across his face. " anyway I have to go eat dinner I'll go see what mother's cooked and come up and tell you. " he said before he kissed my aching hand and walked off.

How am I gonna escape through that tiny window in the bathroom ?I can barely get my shoulder through it. I thought. Chris quickly came back up stairs and told me what's for dinner.

    " where having tacos, but it's more like a " build you own" Taco, what do you want on yours? " he asked.

   " same as yours. "

    " are you sure? I tend to over dose on the hot sauce. He said.

    " yeah it's fine just a lot less hot sauce then yours. " Chris went down stairs and I realized that my father and mother are most likely looking for me so I mind as well eat as much as possible, act normal, and think of a way to escape.
