CHAPTER 5 – AS DEAF AS LUCY

Edited®

It’s been almost a full week since I walked out of school because of my hunting past that keeps drowning me. It’s now Friday and I was on my way from school. I left an hour late because I was finishing my art project for Monday and also because I didn’t want to go home. I was also been avoiding Logan all week. I couldn’t face him nor could I stand him.

I was half way home when I saw it up a head. A group of boys face towards the wall like they were circling someone I parked my bike a little way up the street so they wouldn’t see me. I took off my helmet and put it under my seat with my bag and got off my bike fixing my outfit which was a black dress that buttoned up at the front with thin straps and went flowingly to my knee, fish net tights and my black combat boots with my leather jacket and grey beanie. I walked towards them swaying my hips with the look of fear on my face.

One them most of heard me coming because he stepped back and turned around, the gap was big enough to see what or should I say who they were circling. It was a little girl she looked round the age of twelve. She sat on the floor hugging her knees to her chest with her face hidden by her hair.

“OH MY GOD” I screamed running to towards her. I now had all the boys looking at me; they seemed to be round about my age but maybe a year or two younger. “Thank god you found her” I pulled her into hug. The bottom of my dress riding up a bit, I held her head in my hands so she was facing me. I got a good look at her face because of the street light glowing right above us. She had pale, soft skin that made her green, brown hazel eyes stand out bright and clear with pale pink lips. Tears ran down her cheeks as she looked at me, her long curly brown hair fell down to her chest and stopped at the bottom of her ribs. I carefully pulled her to feet and searched her face. Her hands were shaking so badly I had to grab them I was about to speak. When she looked down towards my mouth as if she needs to read my lips to understand what I was about say. So I pushed her hair back from one of her ears to confirm it. Yep this little girl was deaf; i pushed her behind me and turned to face the boys. There were four of them; I put on my best act before I spoke.

“How did you find my little sister? I was meant to pick her up from school but I lost track of time and when I went there she was nowhere to be found. How can I thank you guys so much” I rushed out in a voice slightly higher than my normal one. I bit my lip as well to add an effect to it, as the boys looked me up and down with lust in their eyes.

“Well there is a way you could repay” blonde one said stepping forward and running his fingers along the hem of my dress. I turned back to the little girl and signed to her.

~What is your name sweetie and how old are you~

~My name’s Lucy and I am thirteen years old. No one came to pick me and I got lost when I tried to get home by myself. Then they saw and tried to do stuff to me~
