Running...just running

~10 years ago~

*Lena is 10 and Lex is 13

"Lex, is this a good idea?" I say as Lex pulls out a knife from under his pillow. "Yes, Lena. If I'm not here and you need to defend yourself I want you to know how to" Lex says as he hands the knife to me. "So what am I supposed to do with a knife?" I say looking at it. I knew he meant with it. If Lionel's beatings ever got that bad, he would want me to defend myself. "Use it." he said as he drew a red dot on a paper and tacked it to his tack board. "Stab it" Lex said pretending to with an air knife. I drew my hand back and did what he said but I accidentally knocked the board off the wall causing it to fall and make a very loud crashing noise. "Uh oh," Lex and I said together. "And what is the meaning of this?" Lionel said as he walked in. Lex took the knife and gripped it in his left hand and grabbing my hand in his right hand. He pulled me with him as he sprinted out of his bedroom and out of the house. I released my hand and we ran down the street. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Anywhere. Just follow me." Lex said as he kept running. This felt good. To run away from him. After a minute or two we stopped running Lex asked me "are you ok Butterfly?". I tried to stop my panting as I said "yeah. How about you dragon?". Lex nodded and said "peachy". We both laughed. Whatever was in store for us, it was good. Well, I felt that way until I heard Lionel say "are you sure butterfly" He said mocking Lex with the butterfly. He put a gun to my head and then everything went black.

(A/N) Sorry if this is bad it's 1:35 am and I'm listening to my new fav (not depressing for once) song. I'm in a sweatshirt, sweatpants, messy ponytail and glasses (which I rarely wear unless I'm really focused or reading for long periods at a time) in the dark. I am now a fangirling fanfic writing nerd. Yay!
