Her Mother

Growing Up

Susie was about three when her world and house became a murderous horror story. Her mother was the one who started it. It all happened when her mother divorced her father. Her mother found out that her father was taking drugs. Susie never knew what drugs were being used. All she knew it was white powdery stuff. Her mother told her it was cocaine. After awhile her mother got very antsy and started to take the drug herself. But her mother got too out of hand. Susie then saw her mother turn into the biggest monster, Susie can ever dream of.

But that summer her mother was at her worst point, that anyone could possibly imagine.

Susie started to get worried about it when her mother started beating her older brother and her. Most of the time her mother would use a hammer, but her mother's favorite weapon was the guillotine. Susie's mother found it in her house's basement. Her father had it for a long time. But Susie had a bunch if dolls that her mother got for her. Soon all but one met the guillotine.

Susie's brother Michael, was trying to protect Susie from her mother beating her upside the head with the hammer. Michael interfered and got an even worse punishment that either the kids had. Susie's mother, Rebekah took Michael and threw him down the basement stairs. He started crying in pain because Susie knew her mother broke a bone. Rebekah has a habit of doing that. But this time she forced Michael's fingers under the blade of the guillotine. Before Susie knew it the blade dropped and all she saw was handless fingers laying on the wooden board of the guillotine. Blood was splattered all over the blade and on Michael's hand. There were no tears on his face, but a pale white face and a shocked look. Rebekah knew she gone too far, but she did not care. She walked away leaving Susie and Michael downstairs in the basement.

Susie stood where she was till she heard the basement door close from up above. When she heard her mother go to her room, Susie took the lantern she hid downstairs and turned it on. She ran over to Michael who was still in his shocked position.

"Michael, Michael!" Susie screamed, but she kept it low enough so her mother could not hear her. Michael turned his head towards his fingerless hand. Blood was still oozing out and he swore he could see all the bones where his fingers once were.

Susie went over and ripped a piece of cloth and tied it tight around Michael's arm. The blood soon stopped dripping out fast like it did. Then Susie ran back over and grabbed some bandages and peroxide.

She went over to Michael and tore off a little bit of the fabric that was hanging off his arm. Susie took his hand. She had no problem looking at things like this. She has seen far to often, as she only has four fingers left. Her two thumbs and her two pointer fingers. She gently took the peroxide and dabbed it in her brother's wounded hand. His finger holes were already shriveling. So she started to hurry it up. Michael screamed at the pain. But he did not for long because he did not want his mother to come back down. Susie then ran over and grabbed some string and a needle she kept hidden from her mother in the basement. Susie started to sew one finger hole at a time. Once the wounds were closed tightly, she dabbed a bit more peroxide on Michael's wound. Then she took more cloth and wrapped it around her brother's whole hand, so she can try to cover up the forsaken memory.

After Susie was done helping Michael with his wound she untied the cloth that was around his arm. Susie then carefully helped walk Michael to the couch their father left downstairs. She told him to rest for a little bit and she'll stay there with him till he gets color into his skin again.

Four hours went by and Michael skin was still pale. Susie bent over and put her hand on his heart, she felt it's pattern of beats. She took her lips and pressed them against her sleeping brother's cheek. Afterwards she looked around to see if she can find her last good doll. She found it over by the guillotine. Her doll's head was splattered with Michael's blood. The blood was already dried on the porcelain face of the doll. Susie thought her doll saw the scene and cried blood for Michael. She walked towards the doll and all of a sudden someone grabbed her. Then Susie dropped her lantern.

Before Susie had time to scream the person covered her mouth. Susie kept trying to move out of the lock that the person out her in, but she could not move because the person kept holding her tighter and tighter. She didn't know what to do. The person brought out a sleeping gas. Before she knew it she was seeing the back of her eyelids.
