Trigger warning ⚠️ it's about to get dark and I'm gonna say Jesus.
CERBERUS'S POV
When we got home from the orphanage it was late as we had to drive for hours and it wasn't all that comfortable but we got to know our new family. We haven't decided yet if we're gonna hide our past or not. We all have to agree to make a decision. I was lying awake on the couch with Caylus on the other side (the couch is T shaped). Cincinnati is on an air mattress in someone's room and Chloe is on an air mattress in the kitchen. They said not to get to attached to this house because we are moving soon. The dead silent night is pierced by a scream of pure anguish and terror. Cay wakes up and we rush to get to Chloe knowing without a doubt it has to be her.
"JAY NO PLEASE!" heart wrenching screams are followed by sobs.we reach Chloe at the same time as Cindy (Cincinnati) and we all rush in. Chloe is flailing and horror filled sounds escape her. Lights click on through the house and I know now we have to tell them our past. It's risky, it's the reason why we don't get adopted. Nobody wants the damaged kids when they could get undamaged kids. Chloe has MPD and her situation with Jay and the hospital damaged her. I called 911 that day because Cindy and Cay were not home and I watched my sister lay unconscious and my dad beat the living shit out of my mother. Cindy self harmed for years and just stopped ten weeks ago. Cay? He had an escape once from hell, from dad. He had Josie. His girlfriend. She killed herself. After she did Cay tried to kill himself too. He almost succeeded because our father found him. And I remember clearly what happened that day.
Flashback
"Kids come here!" Dad yelled.
We all slinked to him from our one room. He stood outside the bathroom door with it closed when we were all there he kicked it open. Cay was suspended in the air hanging. A nylon rope was wrapped around the shower head and his neck. Chloe started crying and he backslapped her.
"You fucking pussy! You look at him and you WATCH HIM DIE!" He yelled.
Chloe finally angry attacked him and Cindy pounced too. I bolted to the phone and called 911. After dad beat Chloe and Cindy unconscious he said "I wish you all killed yourselves it would be paradise. Good riddance." Then he went into his room. And I ran and cut Cay down, sobbing.
End flashback
Everyone ran in, four parents and five kids. Everyone had different reactions.
"Oh my god!" Violet yelped.
Hazel whimpered.
"Jesus Christ!" Josh said quietly.
"Damn." Red whispered coolly.
Dawn let out a sob.
Dandy observed quietly.
Dad A sat next to Chloe's mattress.
"What's happening?!" Dad J exclaimed.
"Should I call someone?" Mom S wailed.
Mom N stood by the door shaking.
"No!" Cindy yelled.
"It's usual!" Cay said.
"Calm down." I told everyone.
They obeyed. When the room was only filled with Chloe's noise me, Cay and Cindy slowly and gently shook her awake. And held her tightly. We explained the flashbacks, all four of us get them. We told them our personal horror stories and they comforted us. After about two hours (there was a lot) we all went back to sleep. Cay, Cindy, Chlo and I slept together on the couch. Strength in numbers right?
