((Pic is her new house))
A little girl, about 6 or 7, was getting off the bus from school. She saw her dads truck and started getting mad. She didnt like him. Especially not what he did to her mom.
She walked inside after waving to the bus. She saw a mess in the kitchen and went in quietly. She cleaned it then made her way to the family room.
"Mommy. Are you here?" She called, and walked upstairs.
She saw something she never thought she would see. Something she would never forget. She saw her father over her mothers dead body holding a knife. She stopped dead in her tracks and couldnt do anything. Then she screamed and her dad turned around and shot something behind her. She turned around and saw a group of men. The man in the front grabbed her and told someone to bring her to their car.
"Sweety whats your name?" The man asked.
"Skylar Parker ." She mumbled.
"Well, Skylar, we're here to help you. We're gonna bring you to a friend thats gonna take good care of you. I promis." He said.
"What's gonna happen to daddy and my sister?" She asked.
"They're gonna be in a better place." He said softly. She started to tear up, but she covered it up and nodded.
The rest of the men got into the car and some other cars. She stayed quiet the whole ride and they finally showed up to a nice house. It had a tower and it was really nice.
They walked in and there was a family with two boys that looked a lot alike. There was a man and a woman. They seemed really nice. The girl hoped their nice. Maybe they weren't like her other family.
She walked in and introduced herself. The boys were Myles and Matthew. The parents were June and Bryan.
The parents showed Skylar her room which was really big. It had a bottom floor with a couch, walk in closet by a door to a balcony, and a bathroom behind the stairs. Up the stairs was her bed with a nice lamp and a bedside table. It was a nice twin sized bed with princess covers.
"Its so pretty!" She smiled big and hugged the woman and ran and looked at everything.
***a few years later((Skylar's 12))***
Skylar got home from school and she sat on her couch and she started on homework. Her mom walked in and sat beside her. Ever since Skylar was given the family's last name, Diamond, shes been distant.
"Skylar whats wrong?" Her mom asked.
"Mom im trying to do my homework. Can we talk later?" She asked.
"You can do it later. I need to talk about this now." She grabbed Skylar's homework and put it on the table.
"Why didn't Myles and Matty have this room first? Why did you give me your last name? Why haven't you told me your about to have another baby?" Skylar asked.
"How did you know?" Her mom asked.
"Because i was going to talk to you about this stuff but i saw the box in your bathroom when i checked in there." She confessed.
"Oh. Well they didnt have the room because this was your dads study room. We gave you our last name because we love you."
"I've been distant for a few days. I've been distant because of this." She held up her underwear with a small blood stain. She had some pads but she was too scared to tell her mom about this. She did tell her mom shes been using them though.
Their conversation was over after about an hour. Skylar finally finished her homework and showered. She got into bed which was now a queen sized bed with gray sheets and a black conforter.
Suddenly she wasn't able to sleep, just like the past week. Shes been cutting herself and hearing voices. She walked down the stairs then down the hall mumbling to herself. Her brothers came out and tried talking to her but she didnt hear them.
"Get out! Get out!" She yelled. "Get out of my head!" She started to bang her head in the wall.
"Sweety whats wrong?" Her mom said concerned.
"They wont leave." She laughed.
"Their telling me to kill all of you." She laughed again. She stood and went to the kitchen. She grabbed a knife and held it to her neck. "Then myself." She laughed again. Her dad was calling someone.
"Your putting me in an Insane Asylum!" She yelled and was dragged into a car. "Your all screwed." She laughed the whole ride. Until she was thrown into a room.
***A few more years later((Skylar's 17))***
Skylar has been in the Asylum for 5 years now. She knows why, and she has been better. Her doctor has been a lot of help and she's Skylar's only friend.
"Hey Sky!" The doctor yelled.
"Hey Doc." She said and put her bookmark back in her book.
"Umm. Sky. Since you've been getting so much better we thought it would be best that you would leave." She said with tears.
"But I dont wanna leave you." Sky said getting up.
"Well you can call me." Doc let a few tears fall.
"Ok. How much time do i have?" She asked letting some tears fall too.
"Your family is already here." She let more tears fall. Skylar nodded and got her stuff and followed after Doc.
It's not that she didnt want to leave the Asylum. She did. In fact, she never wanted to see it again. She just didnt want to leave Doc. Doc was her best friend, in the Asylum that is.
"Skylar? You've grown so much!" Her mom yelled and ran towards her. She embrased her mom and smiled. "Lets go home." Her mom smiled.
"Bye Doc. Thanks so much." Doc handed her a paper with her number.
"Dont forget." Doc yelled while Skylar walked out the door, and to the car.
And thats where her life began...
