In Daddy's Arms

In Daddy's Arms - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!

That was the continuous noise sounding from around me. I lay there in the silent room, feeling a hand wrapped within my own. I tried opening my eyes but they remained shut. I tried to speak and ask what was going on when my mouth was unable to move as well. I started to panic about what could have happened, all I remembered was my dad screaming and hitting me about my mistake to try and get help. I didn't know what happened after that but whatever it was couldn't have been good seeing as I was unable to be mobile.

I lay there for what seems like hours trying to get my sight and movements back before I hear a voice in the background. It's nothing I remembered hearing before so I started to get worried that dad had been mad and taken me somewhere, he didn't want me anymore and maybe he was selling me. I've heard alot about that before how men sell girls they find for alot of money as they get pulled into the sex trade. I didn't want to become like one of those girls and I would have happily lived the rest of my life in daddy's arms if I would avoid being sold off.

But through my whole tirade of what my consequence of disobeying dad would be I started to hear the voices more clearly as it was the unknown man talking to what seemed to be another man.

"Mr. Killar, can you describe what happened please?" the first man asked.

"Uhm... I don't know I mean I was working and then that girl came up with this older man. I didn't know them at all and I thought the girl was hot and she seemed a hell of a lot older then what she was. So I started flirting with her and she smiled back so I thought that was a clear in from her. On my break I thought I'd give her my number or talk to her but the old man answered the door. After talking to him I started hearing a girl scream in the back room and the man said something about his daughter having a nightmare and walked off but I remember before that he said she was out. I started banging on the door to let me in because something wasn't right and I started hearing him yelling so I ran down and got security. Everything from there on was a blur from them opening the door to me seeing the girl bloody and unconscious on the floor with her dad sweating and angry looking at her.... It was horrible man." There was a pause before the first man spoke again.

"Thank-you, you've been a great help."

"Wait!wait! Do you know if she's going to be ok? They won't let me see her because she's still un responsive and that's all the information their telling me when I try to get out more." The second guy, who I figured out to be the clerk at the hotel, asked.

"I believe she will be alright but she still is out of it. Her brother's in there right now, I'll let you know if I find more out. I have to leave but you are free to go if you please Mr. Killar."

"No I think I'll stay, I want to find out if she'll be ok for sure... not just a estimated guess. I'd feel bad if I left and found out she didn't make it."

After all of that was said I happily realized that I was out of daddy's arms and safe in the hospital. My attempts of getting free had worked and he wasn't waiting for me to wake up so he could sell me or punish me more. At least I hoped he was gone, how bad would it be if all this had happened and I still come out of it heading home with my dad.

I started to freak out more about the potential outcome of what happened and realized that everything was probably going to be ok seeing as they were talking about dad as if he had something wrong and for that was probably away being questioned or whatever it is they do with men that treat their kids the way dad did to Kent and I.

I started to feel tired again and soon felt myself falling back into the unknown.

*~*~*

I woke again to the feeling of something holding my hand and the annoying beeping noise. I guessed it would have been Kent's hand because that's what the man said talking to the clerk but who knows what could have changed while I wasn't consciously here. I tried opening my eyes again and they opened with ease as I tried to adjust to the light. I squinted a few times taking in the white room I was in and the sleeping - what it looks like - Kent beside me holding my hand. I noticed that there were dark circles under his eyes. I started to feel bad that again what was happening to me was affecting my brother again. I was such a burden on him and now I was affecting his stress tolerance. I really should look into not being so selfish. If only I had not called for help, dad wouldn't have come to discipline me and I wouldn't have had to go to the hospital where my brother remained worried, over something as insignificant as me. Why did I always have to do this to-

"Brooky? Are you awake?" I heard Kent saying. I turned around with a small smile on my face as I looked at the sleep deprived Kent.

"Oh My God!?! Brooky your alright!?!" she yelled throwing his arms around my laying body and engulfing me in a hug. I winced when he tightened his grip on my bruised body and he noticed pulling away with a sorry look on his face.

"Sorry, I forgot your hurt." She said looking at my battered up body covered by a hospital gown and a thin sheet.

"It's ok" I replied in a husky voice, seeing as I haven't used it in a while. I smiled up at him, but he has a sad smile on his face.

"What happened Brooky, They're not telling me anything, other than you got beaten up by dad. But I already know that seeing as it's plainly obvious." I sighed and tried clearing my throat before launching into my story.

"W-we went to the hotel... I apparen-tly flirted with the clerk... dad got m-mad... punished me... someone was at th-the door later... I screamed for hel-p... then dad beat me up ag-again... end of st-story" I replied stopping at parts because my throat hurt. Kent nodded his head as he tried encouraging me to continue. Once I finished he just smiled again and hugged me lighter this time. Once he pulled back he shook his head smiling before saying anything else.

"I'm so proud of you standing up for yourself. That's something I should have been able to do for you, I should have protected you better from dad. Your my little sister and I just sat there watching everything dad did without helping the slightest. I cant belie-" I cut him off seeing as non of this was his fault.

"K-kent, it's not your fault... I only did t-that because I had a weak m-moment... You've protected my tons o-over the years and I-I should be thanking you. You d-don't know how much you deserve better K-kent." I said smiling up at him, he was about to say something back before a nurse walked in seeing I was awake and started checking on me. I sat there looking at her writing down information on her note pad when Kent decided to continue on the conversation, not caring that there was company.

"Brooky, Brooky look at me. - I turned my head to face him - You deserve just as much as I do or even more for everything that dad has put you through...So don't be saying silly things like that ok. You believe that you deserve nothing at all and it's your fault for everything but look at what's he's done Brooky. He's kicked the shit out of me daily while raped you and beat you up as well multiple times. You had no say in the matter and yet here you are placing the blame on yourself. It's DAD's fault be left you scared, It's DAD's fault he screwed up our family and It's DAD's fault your in the hospital right now... None of this is your fault Brooky and the sooner you realise this the better you'll pull through it." I was crying the whole time he was talking as well as Kent and tried pulling him into a hug, seeing as I wasn't strong enough yet Kent had to help me but we managed and I ignored the pain that was running through my body. I just wanted my brother to be here with me and he was. I couldn't ask for a better moment.

Just then another man walked in to the room in a police uniform and asked if I was able to talk. I nodded my head and looked at him expectantly.

"I wanted to let you know that you're father - Mr. Warner - is behind bars for the time being until the court date is set." I stared at him wondering what that meant would happen to me and Kent until the date.

"What will h-happen to Kent... and m-me?" I asked trying to sound secure.

"For the time being, I phoned you're relatives telling them of the incident and you're Aunt Jody (on your dad's side) and her husband - Pete - agreed to take you in. I believe you haven't met them before seeing as they didn't know of your existence. But they were happy to find you safe and would love if you lived with them."

Silence was followed by what he said as Kent and I looked at each other, both thinking the same thing... Who the hell was Aunt Judy and why have we never met, or known the other exists.
