Unhappy Child

[5] Blood stains

I was sure my mother was controlling Noah, Using him, Later that night I invited Noah round, The children were delighted and told him there journeys, He told them his tales and how we met but with lies.

The children kept asking me to get married to Noah but I refused because we had went through a horrid past. My husband came home from the pub and shouted at me, Noah sat there and told the man off.

"That was very brave Noah!" Nick said, He liked Noah so much he gave him hugs.

"Maybe you can get dad to move out" Vii quietly said, I turned to her and shushed her. I looked like her demon at that moment.

When it was Noahs time to leave we sat on the porch and talked. Making jokes about everything.

"Well, This morning wasn't a joke" He said, His arm was wrapped round me.

"Yup" I looked at him, He had dry blood on his shirt that blended in with his red shirt.

He leaned in and kissed me, I pulled away straight away, Knowing my husband would beat the shit out of me.

He got up and turned round to look at me, I smiled and waved, He did the same then disappeared.

The nights after that I had nightmares of the grinder and leaving Noah alone and that he may be killed. I tried calling him but he never answered, I began to get worried.

"You thinking about that Noah?" My husband asked, I shaked my head.

"I checked the phone today and all there were was calls you made to him" He said, I was getting worried.

"I'm not letting you get with him" He pinned me against the wall and I closed my eyes.

He slapped me then walked off, I fell to the floor crying my eyes out. I was scared that he was going to come and do it again.

"You alright mum?" Vii said, She was standing at the top of the stairs, I looked up. She came running down and hugged me.

"I know what dad did to you" She started crying.

"Get out of town, I'll say you got lost, Change your name and surname" Vii stroked my hair, This was strange to hear from her.

"Why? Why would I do that to children I love?" I asked.

"Because of dad, Please I want you to be safe" She said.

The next day, I packed up my bags and went out. With all the money I had, I managed to get my name legally changed to Tanya, get a new hair self and new contacts and I went out of town. Like my daughter had told me to.

I was never bothered and usually got calls from my children on a daily basis because I had given them my phone number, I got a small house in the woods, My soul was happy, I still had Noahs number and tried to ring him.

I soon found a litter of kittens by my doorstep, I took them in and looked after them, Everything was calm then but I had a feeling. Disaster was going to strike, The next day I woke up to see the kittens but there were non there expect a blood stain, I went downstairs and looked around but all I saw was a blood stain.

"Kittens!" I shouted.

I heard a scream of meows and four confused white kittens run at me, I snuggled each on and named them.

"Evie, Adam, Mick and Charlotte" I said to myself, I smiled.

In the morning I cleaned the blood stains but always seemed to find one everywhere now, Down the town I saw on a window, Down the pub I saw one on a beer bottle, I got myself a therapist and I told him about the blood stains.

"There hallucinations, I'd like you to get a notebook and write about your days" He said.

I brought a notebook and write down in it, I began to see bigger blood stains, I drew some of the stains in my notebook.

I've seen another blood stain, Bigger then the last, It was covering a shop, I screamed and security was called on me. Help me please I'm tired.

The next day, I was visiting my therapist when I saw a blood stain, I pointed at it and said it was there.

"Tanya, I think your mad, I'm calling a mental hospital" He said.

I screamed, I didn't want to go, NO I DIDN'T WANT TO GO.

Well, This went out as planned, I'm now happy.
