Protection

Chapter 1: Escape

Ainsley's Pov:
I hear screaming in the hallway and back up into the corner of my room. I have heard screaming before. Charlie screams when he hurts me and we all scream when he hurts us. Something about this was different which made me even more nervous alone in my room. There are three rooms upstairs and a bathroom, downstairs there is a couch, tv, and food box. This is all I've seen but Margret, my sister, tells me about other stuff. She once lived in a house where she could go outside. She told me about how soft her bed was at home and what grass feels like against your feet. I've only seen the outside through the small window in my room. The screaming gets louder so I hold my knees tight against my chest. Charlie slams the door open and I see him holding Margret's throat

"Watch this you little bitch" he sneers at me. He takes a knife and slices her wrists then throws her in the room with me. "1 Minute!" He yells than slams the door.

I crawl over to Margret who is bleeding on the floor and I start crying

"Ainsley get out, you have to" she says to me

"No I can't leave, Charlie will kill you and Stacy and everyone else"

"They are all ready dead and he is going to his other houses to kill everyone else. You need to leave! The window, punch the glass as hard as you can and run"

"Outside?"

"Yes, I know it's scary and you've never been out of this house but you have to run. Run through the woods and find someone, anyone"

I hear Charlie stomping back up the stairs to the room where we are. Margret grasps my hand

"You need to leave!" she says between breaths "go......please"

I stand up on shaky legs and go to the window. I look at Margret as I punch my hand through the window. The glass shatters and cuts my hand. Charlie opens the door and slams a knife through Margaret's chest as I try my hardest to wriggle out the window. The glass cuts my already bruised arms and legs leaving blood on my tattered white dirty dress. I run to the things called trees that I've only ever seen through the window. I run and run and I hear Charlie screaming my name. I keep running as I turn my head to look back, I loose my footing and fall down. I fall into a dirt hole in the ground. I hear Charlie's footsteps near me; I hold my breath, hug my knees to my chest, and listen.

"Where are you you fucking slut!" He yells

I hold my breath for what seems like hours and it starts to snow. Once the sky turns darker I climb out of my hole and continue to run just like Margret told me. I run through white stuff called snow in the Vancouver trees until I reach a black floor with white lines. In between the lines are weird objects with windows and doors. My feet feel frozen as I walk over to one of the objects which is black. I pull on the handle of the door and it opens. Inside I see a small couch almost like what Charlie had in the room with the tv. Sometimes he would let me watch the tv when he was in a room with Margret or the others. I crawl inside and close the door. I curl into a ball and cry my eyes out thinking about Margret. I keep crying and shivering until I fall asleep on the soft material.

Jens Pov:

After a long day of filming, Ginny and I walk back to our cars. It's about 10pm and Josh took their kids home a couple hours ago. I say goodbye to Ginny and get inside my car. I sit down and check my mirrors and I see something in the back. I immediately turn around and find a little girl asleep on my backseat. I have no idea what the hell to do. I get out of the car and go to Ginny's car which is parked near me. I knock on the window and she rolls it down

"What's wrong" Ginny asks concerned

"A girl is asleep in my car" I say flustered

"What!" She asks

She gets out and comes over to my car with me. We open the back door of the car carefully. This little girl is in a dirty white dress and she has blood on her hands and legs. I sit in the backseat and lightly touch this girls arm. She jolts awake and screams loudly. I grasp her forearms to try and settle her and her eyes well with tears

"Please please don't hurt me!" She cries

I let go of her "Sweetheart I'm not going to hurt you, can you tell me your name" I ask in a quiet voice

"Ainsley" she says barely above a whisper

"Hi Ainsley, I'm Jen and this is my friend Ginny. Are you lost?"

"No" she says

I look at this girl who is thin as a stick. She is very pale and has long matted hair. Her dress is torn and has blood on it which is coming from cuts on her arms.

"Are you hurt" I ask

"No" she says and starts crying again.

I turn to Ginny who suggests I take her to the hospital. She offers to come with me but I tell her to go home. She has a family to take care of. After Ginny leaves I continue to talk to Ainsley who is shaking scared in the backseat. I'm not sure what to say so I pull her in for a hug and she screams

"Please don't hurt me!!" She cries

"I'm not going to hurt you" I say and let go of her

"Why were you squeezeing me" she asks confused

"I gave you a hug"

"What's a hug"

Her questions stuns me "Umm it's when you wrap your arms around someone to comfort them" I stutter to explain

"Not to hurt them?"

"No honey" I wrap my arms around her again and she starts crying in my shoulder. I rub her bony back softly. Eventually she calms down and I brush her hair out of her face.

"It's time to go to the hospital now" I say as
she looks at me terrified
