Darkness

It is all I can see, as though I had somehow traveled through the atmosphere and landed in space. But that could not be it could it? if it were space that i was in then shouldn't I have been able to the earth from here?The sun? The moon?Maybe it isn't space then I conclude but a fragment of time that i was stuck in due to all that time travelling that I had been doing lately.

Petty,I know and what utter bullshit.

In this darkness i cannot even see a speck of light to abide by the saying,the rays of sunlight hit soon after darkness, it is pitch black as though my eyes aren't even open , and maybe they aren't because i feel nothing , as if my body had floated away

But it was what they say, the calm before the storm, suddenly almost as quickly as it came the darkness shifts and now I am standing in a night gown, in the form of my ten year old self.

I can suddenly hear glasses breaking ,a commotion which was strikingly different to the silence that had consumed me before.

My ears are suddenly filled by screams made mainly by him.

Him, as soon as I think about him fear consumes my tiny body and I start to cry, it isn't a scared cry nor a hurtful one it is just a cry filled with pleading , pleading for someone to save me, for help, for solace.

But before help could come he does, in all his glory madder than I had ever seen him before, I wondered in fear about what I had done to anger him but as my mother came behind him trying to throw him off his path towards me, I knew. I knew the reason.

They thought that I was a sweet ten year old girl who was never awake past her curfew, but they did not know that I waited, I waited for the screams to start so that I could know why this was happening.

Before my mother could get me he did his large hands grabbing my wrist and throwing me towards the wall, I hit my head but this was nothing, he could do worse I had seen it happen to my mom with my own eyes.

As I gathered up the courage to look away from the wall I saw that he had his hands around my moms neck, squeezing the life out of her I cant stand it, I cant stand seeing him drain the life out of the one person who loved me, the one person who played with me and Mr.buttons my pet bunny and unofficial best friend.

So I ran, I ran towards him like a bull who had seen a red cloth and I jumped on him but that didn't do him any harm, although startled for a while he removed me from his back with force and turned his attention to me.

Throwing me on the floor he walked up to me and with pleading eyes I begged him to not come closer ,to listen to my mom who was trying to take him away from me filling the house with her screams.

But he did not listen instead he hit me ,it felt like he hit harder if my screams got louder or if I tried to defend myself flailing my arms around and hitting his nose in the process which started to bleed ,making him even more furious.

So like a vigilante he let go of his bleeding nose, threw away my crying mother to the other end of the room and suddenly seized me by my neck, squeezing it so hard that I could feel my vocal cords give away crushing.

But suddenly, sirens filled my ears and our main door was thrown open in ran police officers, paramedics and our next door neighbours, it seemed like the screaming had been heard by them resulting in them calling the police, the officers seize him and put a weapon to his head stopping his struggling and paramedics rushed to me and my mother.

As they reach me telling me to stay awake, I could only see a fraction of their faces because I was as good as unconscious and as the darkness filled me I welcomed it not knowing that this incident would haunt me everyday for the rest of my life in the form of nightmares,and all because of him all because of the man who was supposed to protect me from my nightmares,my father.
