A New Begining.

PROLOGUE

"What your really leaving!?" Jocelyn yelled "My dad lost his job I have no choice but to move back to Tyler, and besides after what happened in the woods and after....she died I have to AND I want to leave" I replied holding back the tears. "She would've wanted you to stay Alexis is gone he could've killed you or even me" " Jocelyn,Alexis told us to run he had already kept us for 3 long days when we ran we heard the shot but we didn't go back what friends are we?" I asked her as a tear trickled down my cheek. "I'll miss you my dad is calling me" "goodbye Jocelyn take care of your self promise me you will?" "Promise,"she said as she turned her back to walk away. I ran back to the hell-hole I once called home. My brother Sean was putting the last box into the car. My dad came up to me and put his arm on me and whispered "We will have a fresh start I promise,"

The 4 hour long drive that seemed like it lasted forever finally ended. I got out and took my earbuds out and asked why we were at this shity place dad said was our home. I walked up the weathered wooden stairs and opened the door. My stepmom had been up here cleaning it and painting the walls and cleaning. I asked where my room was and she pointed to a pink and limegreen room. " I asked for black and red not pink and limegreen yvonne!" I yelled angrily. "I thought it would be nice to put some color into your life," she replied innocently "it looks like a fucking watermelon!" I screamed and punched my door. "Sean has an orange and black room" yvonne pointed out. " ok I understand that simple colors are out of your cycling education span" I spouted off. There was on 2 weeks too his trial where I would have to go in front of a grand jury and testify and tell what happened during the three days in the woods.The 2 weeks came faster then I anticipated. Jocelyn testified against him first then I testified we told everything he did to us and Alexis. He was found guilty by the state..of Texas. He was charged with kidnapping,rape,murder,and endangerment of a minor. He will be serving the death penalty, and no chance of perolle. They said it was over but I kept saying there we're other men involved,but they said we were base because he kept drugging us.Jocelyn even knew there was 3 men. On our way back to our car our attorney followed us and said,"Dana you were truly brave you even showed the marks and the results came back and you're not pregnant," "Your body miscarried the fetus," Mr.Campell assured us quietly. "Have an nice day," He added in a friendly tone of voice. "Thank you for everything our Dana can finally be herself" My dad said in relief. As I got in the car Deshaun ran up to me.

~~~~~~2~~~~~~~~~~ "Where you going babez?"He questioned curiously. I fucking forgot to tell him with all the stuff going on. "I'm going home," I sighed. " Cool I'll see you there, and are you ok I saw you shaking at the trial and your face was blotchy?" He asked me worryingly. " No,yeah im ok I guess and babe I'm not going to that home...we moved..back to Tyler,". I replied nervously. "So you telling me you're leaving all of your friends and me?"He asked in a pist of tone. " Yes but- " " Together forever remember you're leaving me our promise rings meant nothing didnt they?" "they did, its just I didn't know how to tell you I...love you," I said as I kissed his soft lips as I fought back the tears." I want you to stay I love you," he whisphered in my ear. I got into the car and his words kept replaying in my mind like a broken record machine. Why did I have to leave him. Nothing made sense until he was around.I am alone drowning but dying of thirst. The first day of school came and even then I felt alone but people were talking to me....was I crazy?

~~~~~3~~~~~~

Everyone looked like fucking robots I hated school....even life. Nothing could make me happy nothing. Lunch came around so I sat alone and some girls came and sat with me and asked me annoying questions. I felt like I was being innterogated by some lil' mrs.perks. Each day it would start out ok then it would go down hill. My dad became very worried because I started eating very little. One day I decided to get the qmail and the most horrifying letter came with my name on it. He had found me I knew it was him because it said in big bold letters Harris County Penatentary. My chest got tight and my throat got dry. I opened the letter carefully and began to read the fine penmanship it read: "Dearest Dana, you thought it was over but it was only.the beginning Raul and Tio are going for Jocelyn then you,you thought you could run and hide but you can't so I wrote you this poem read it its just for you!

Roses are red. Violets are blue they're coming for you! Love,David p.s I was your first.." How did he find me? I was doomed if he could find me here what else does he know my school? I felt overthrown by my own fears. I showed my step mom the letter and she showed dad. My dad went mad with anger. He bought 2 guns a rifle and a glock and a giant english mastiff and a pitbull for and outside dog. Then he borded up Seans window and made me learn to shoot the glock. He asked my brother to let me sleep in his room and Sean in mine I kept 3 knifes and the glock right behind the bed so I could immediately grab then if neccisary. My step mom and I took a self defense class to fight them. "They aren't getting you this time," my dad reassured me. " not this time I promise" he repeated. I barely slept at night the words swirled around in my head like a tornado.

The flashbacks of what they did to us made me furious I wanted too kill each and everyone of them and make them pay. MY once warm soft beating heart had turned cold and are and didn't beat. Was I dead and was I dreaming? I lyed down on the cool soft bed, and shut my eyes,my body ached. I found myself in a bright meadow there was a sea of dandelions for miles,and Alexis and Jocelyn were their.We began playing tag then what seemed to be pleasent and peaceful became twisted and gnarled. We were in front of the cabin he had taken us to. I tried to scream but couldn't I was paralyzed with fear. He and his 2 men cover our mouths and dragged us inside. Alexis kicked and screamed even I tried to get away,but it was no use they were stronger and overpowered us. I saw what they did to Alexis she got it the worst. They cut her and put burning cigarettes out on her fair skin. They each took turns raping us and tearing our insides. If there was hell in real life when you were alive this was it. I woke up dripping with presipitation and my heart was pounding. I tried to get up but legs were like jello,and I collapsed.As I was on the ground I heard something in the spare room. I grabbed a knife and tiptoed to the door that was cracked....I opened it and a black mass looked at me and opened the window and jumped out.

"DAD!!!!" I howled in fear.

The next morning was like hell when we were sitting in the kitchen and the news came on. The voice dawned the words I dreaded to hear "An 11 year old girl named Jocelyn was abducted from her home around 11 last night" I froze and tried to cry but couldn't I was next they were coming. I was ready they were coming and they weren't gonna take me this time.

Each night I would look at the picture that now looked fake to me. Jocelyn took me and Alexis to Galveston for her birthday. We were all happy and never thought about one of us dying we had our future planned out. My future was even unclear to me now. Then I remembered something the thought hit me like a wrecking ball. I got the trunk from under my bed and opened it.Memories can floating back. Then under the memories were my sling blades I bought. The worked perfect for far away distance and I pulled out water balloons I filled with gasoline and bought some matches. I bought ropes,ducktape,door bells for the doorknobs and I nailed the windows shut. Each night one car would drive past our house and I would sit outside with a shotgun and I would stare at the car as it drove off. I knew they were close so each night I would pull my hair up leave my shoes on pants and a army t-shirt.

~~~~5~~~~~

Each day it felt like they were near watching me taunting me. Waiting for the moment to strike.Finally the night cane and I stabbed Raul in the back and punctured his left lung. He died a long painful death. My dad called the cops and said two men broke in our house and I had defended myself. We tied Tio up the cops swarmed around the house and took the frail lifeless body away in an ambulance and Tio in a car and interrogated me. It was over or was it?
