Clair's POV
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I could hear my mother screaming through the wall of my bedroom door. Dad must have gotten home from the bar. He isnt like this in the day but after he gets home from the bar...things get ugly I hear the door to my room softley creak as my brother, Tony, quietly snuck in.
"Clair are you ok?" he asked sitting in the chair next to my bed.
"Yeah I'm fine, at least I'm not the one being beten to death at the moment..." I say with tears streaming down my face. Ever since dad lost his job 2 years ago, he has been really aggressive. I don't know if he really means anything he says or does, or if its just the drunkness in control of his body, but it seems like more bruises appear on us every night...
"Shh... its okay. We are going to be just fine. Grab Banjo (MY cat), a pillow, a blanket and your flashlight while I go get a few things." He tells me and leaves the room quietly. I quickly hop out of bed, and began doing what my brother commanded. I had almost gotten out of bed when I heared my mother scream again. But this isnt a normal I just got punched scream or a I'm so mad at you for doing this to our family scream, it was a bloody murder scream like I had never heard before. I rushed out of my room to find that Tony was a few feet ahead of me, facing Dad who had a bloody knife in his hand.
"Well looky here," my father slurred, " Both of my Bratty children have joined this slendid ocassion!" My brother looked confused until he glaced towards my room, seeing that i waas standing outside of it. My father took a step closer to me and my brother backed up so he was standing infront of me.
"Dont you dare talk to her like that. You are not her father, you are not my father, and you NEVER will be again. SO you have NO right to speak to her, or me, like that." Tony told him, anger appearant in his eyes.
"Aww is the wittle boy gonna stand up for his pathetic-excuse-For-a-human-being sister? How sweet that he thinks that his threats are going to make any difference." My father teased.
"Im sorry but this wittle boy can kick your but sll the way into next week, and on the contrary i think you got the person you were talking about wrong. Your the only pathetic-excuse-for-a-human in th room." Tony said slowely pushing me back into my room.
"Go to the secret room in the closet aand dont come out until i get you." Tony whispered and I ran into the room. My brother an i found the room a year ago, while trying to find a place to hide from my father. My mother knew but no one ever told my father, since of course that was the place in which we hid from him. It only opens from the inside so we always have to keep a small rock in the way from it closing. I took Banjo, nd my flashlight into the room and waited. I could hear small bits of what tjey were screaming at eachother.
"..........DONT.......ME"
"STUPID................JUST............MOTHER...."
"YOU.........ALLOWED........MY MOTHER........."
"I....CECILIA.........WANT.........STUPID BRAT.." Then there was large thump like someone hitting the floor, and a scream. Thinking it was Tony and he was hurt, I left the hidden room only to find Dad barely alive on the floor in a pool of blood...with Tony standing over him the knife in his hand. I mut have screamed or something, because Tony quickly turned around in surprise.
