Harsh Realities

Chapter Eight: Blood

      I felt the slimy warm substance that moisturized the mattress. I moved my fingers in circular motion trying to indicate what was that substance. I tried opening my eyes but that didn't help either since the room was too dark. I sniffed my fingers only to let the metallic smell travel through my nostrils. I took couple more seconds for my brain to realize that this was nothing but blood. But for some odd reason I wasn't shocked and decided to head back to sleep.

My head felt dizzy and my eyelids were heavy, but my brain kept forcing me to wake up. I could hear some soft whispers and mumbles around me. In a swift motion, I raised my body away from the mattress. I feeling of warm stuff around my clothes made me freeze in place. Did I get my period? I really hate it when I get my period because if you lived such a life you would never enjoy period time. And I was lucky enough, since my period was all mixed up and I get it once in several months. The mattress itself looked horrible, it was soaked with blood as if someone was murdered their. I was so embarrassed, I didn't want Liv, or our guest to see such a horrid scene. 

What I saw next made me forget the disgusting situation I was in.  I saw Tyler standing next to Larissa. Now you might think that the scene might be normal, but it wasn't. Larissa's hands and legs were tied roughly while Tyler stood there with a bloody knife in his hands. I didn't knew how to react and stayed in my place. Some steps later you can see a bloody figure facing the ground. Once I recognized him, I jumped quickly to see what's wrong.

"Daddy,, what happened?"

-no reply

"Tyler please fetch Larissa and come help me" I asked for help

"Don't worry my little girl, I called for help" he replied in confidence

Oh god, what have happened, the moment that I felt that everything will be alright fate surprises me. 

Moment later the twins, Billy and Zid, came rushing for rescue. They took my father gently and placed him on a portable bed. I sprinted to follow them but Tyler stopped me.

"Sorry my little girl, I can't allow you to leave. Look at yourself everyone will think that you are the murderer"

"Umm..." I had nothing to say

The fact that someone tried killing my father when we were asleep scared me. I wish that the person have killed me instead.

"But who is it" I said before shedding some tears.

"Don't cry he will be alright, trust me" Tyler said trying to comfort me

All the time while we were doing this Larissa kept shut. Something is odd today

"Whats wrong" I said getting closer to Larissa

She didn't say anything and kept staring at me with sorrow.

"Here get changed and I will explain everything, I promise" Tyler said handing me some clothes

"Wait a second, Where is Liv?" I got worried suddenly. I don't know how I didn't notice that she wasn't here.

Tyler looked scared too, maybe she was gone and nobody noticed.

"I don't know, I didn't see her since everything happened"

The case started getting more serious now, what if I didn't find her forever?  

"Hey don't worry my little girl, get cleaned and we will go search for her" Tyler said before facing the wall allowing me to get changed privately.

Since it was early in the morning, 9 A.M as Tyler said, we left the house with Larissa to finish some business. On our way Tyler kept explaining to me what he saw once he woke up. The whole story was that Larissa betrayed me. Tyler said that he saw her trying to punch my father several times but thanks to God he woke up and stopped her. Not only I felt hurt in several ways, but also Larissa didn't say anything. She didn't object or defend herself as if she agrees to what Tyler said.

"But why Larissa WHY??" I shouted out of frustration.

Nothing, she said nothing. Maybe my father was right from the early begging I shouldn't have talked to her. She spoiled me, gave me books to read and old toys for my sister in order to gain my trust. Sadly she did, I guess it was her plan to kill my father. First of all, be my friends and use me against my family. Oh, and maybe she was the one behind my mother's divorce.

"I   H A T E   Y O U" I shouted my thoughts out.

Now that we were in front of the police station to hand her in, I wished that she would stay in there until she rots. After Tyler and I said everything we had we handed in the knife Larissa used and left. My legs couldn't hold me anymore and my tears wouldn't stop.

"Do you think that everything will be alright" I said leaning on Tyler's body for support.

"Owh, of course everything will be fine my little girl as long as we stay together"

-------

I sat in our house trying to get my stuff packed. Even though I didn't own much stuff, I found it hard to pack. After all the fuss that happened Tyler have advised me to move in with him in his flat. I accepted his offer quickly since he was the only family I had at the moment. I really don't believe that he is my uncle or even a relative to my father but being with him feels so right. First of all he is older than me and stronger too, so he will always protect. Also, my father have advised me to stay with him no matter what.

"Larissa is rich, what if she got out of jail" I spoke my thoughts out.

"Hey my little girl just stop worrying everything will be alright. Later on when we will leave in the city you will be closer to your dad plus we can find your sister easier." he said comforting me for the millionth time today.

   I left my home feeling a bit sick. Although it was a disgusting piece of land that I hated the most, I find it hard to leave my home. After all, those four walls were the only pieces that protected us from the hardships of life. At least, I wasn't there at the streets searching for leftover wheat. Despite all the nights that I slept hungry, I had a warm place to rest in. Oh I wish that I valued this home longer time ago. I came to this home with my happy family, father mother and a baby sister, and now I am leaving it all by myself shattered and destroyed.
