~Protection~ (Discontinued)

Family reunion.

The Monday morning just after July fourth weekend, before it had even hit 9am, in a modern yet mature home at the end of a quaint street in Riverdale. A sorrowful, deprived women could be seen pacing back and forth on her kitchen tiles as the world just passed by. Afraid and in disbelief of the events that had taken place the night before, she was shaken, out of breath as she took each step. She stoped, turning to gaze out of the shattered window at the world that was now mayhem due to her husbands frightful vengeance.

"Mom? What are you doing up?"
"Oh." Alice gasped in shock and be-wilderness "Elizabeth, I didn't hear you come down. Would you like some breakfast?"
"Mom, I know what happened last night. I heard everything." Taking a breath before she could continue, Betty stuttered "are you okay?"
Pouring coffee into a mug, Alice's hand began to slip and right as Betty fished her sentence, the mug fell to the floor, Alice along side it! Betty ran to meet her mother at the other side of the kitchen counter, but all that was left was the shell of a broken women. Alone and afraid of what was to come... "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault mom, none of it is. I'm here." Betty pulled her into her shoulder assuring her once again that she was safe. "I'm here!"

A new chapter of their lives was about to unfold. Little did they know, home was what they should be fearing most.
"I'm home!" Clutching her bag in one hand and a stroller in the other, Polly the devilish one entered the Cooper residence. "P- Polly, I didn't think you would make it!" Betty said whilst hugging her aggressively. "Of course I came little sister, the tragic was terrible but I made it here eventually. Where's mom?"
Hesitantly, Betty mumbled "in the kitchen..."
"But Cheryl and Toni should be arriving soon so, please go and unpack before they get here!"
"Fine, fine."
