Scarlet’s P.O.V
It’s been almost three and a bit years now since dad has moved back in with us.
“I’m off to bed now, good night mum, dad, Goodnight Angel.”
They all reply to me with a simple, “Good night.” Then mum and dad start talking about having another child together, like that’s going to happen. I hope so, but I don’t think my mum is going to agree with my dad. Angel just sits there wide-eyed and then he runs up the stairs straight past me.
I laugh inside my head and go off towards my room. I pass Angel on the landing before entering my room; he looks at me he’s confused. I smile at him and walk off into my dark lonely room.
****SCARLET DREAMING****
“Scarlet I love y-yo.....”
“No mum, stay with me. Don’t go!” I pause and realise she is gone. “No, no, no mum come back!” At that moment I stop screaming and crying. I turn around to hear laughing I notice the person who done this to my mum and I realise it’s my father.
“How could you, you said you loved her, you said you loved all of us, and it’s my birthday too. Why are you like this dad? What’s gotten into you? Mum and you wanted another child... If it was a boy you were going to name it Jacob and for a girl Rosie, don’t you remember talking about it?”
“Shut up! I’m no father to you, who would want to love you?” He laughed. I was about to open my mouth and speak when I felt a sharp blow to my face. He hit me!
“Don’t you ever say a word of this to anyone, or the same thing will happen to you!” As he says this he pulls out a knife. I walk backwards towards the kitchen door and... SMACK!
**** SCARLET’S DREAM STOPS****
I wake with fright and scream loud. I have a feeling of anxiety.
Sophie’s P.O.V
I hear a scream from one of the rooms across the hallway and it’s Scarlet. “Scarlet, hunny are you alright?” Scarlet bursts out of her room and hugs me so tight. “Hunny what’s wrong?”
“I had a nightmare about you mum.” She says with tears on her rosy cheeks falling down and hitting the floor.
“It’s begun!”
