As soon as a held my hand out a small bunny shot out of the corner causing me to scream and fall on my butt,thankfully there was hay on the ground everywhere so it didn't hurt what so ever,I went into a laughing fit and looked up at the horses,"I'm a fool"I said still laughing with tears in my eyes.I dusted myself off once I got up and picked up all of the horse feed,the sun was beginning to set,"oh no"I said to myself,it took 15 minutes to get home from the barn and the sun was about to set in 5.I ran all the way home,sprinting,soon it was getting grey outside,a dark dark grey.Only a little bit of the sun was left,thankfully my house came into view and I saw my mother at the door waiting for me,I came to a stop once I was at the door step,my mother had tears running down her face,"Athena get inside now"she said angrily,I hesitated trying to explain myself "mom I'm so-"I was interrupted "ATHENA GET INSIDE NOW" my mother said yelling at me,she never rose her voice at me.I flinched at her voice,as I went to my room I made eye contact with my father,disappointment and sadness was in his eyes,I ran into my room and slammed the door shut causing the door to shake.I flung myself onto my bed and cried,I haven't cried since my sister was taken,I held everything back to be strong for my parents,I had to be a good daughter for them but I failed them.I couldn't live in this sadness anymore,fearing for my life everyday,my father loved my sister Ashley more than me,so when she was taken he and so my mother was in utter depression,he has no love for me,the day she was taken my father got utterly drunk,that night he came into my room and he whispered to me that I should've been taken instead of her.It tour me apart to here that from my own father,my mother loved me but not as much as Ashley.I cried into my pillow all night,soon my throat became raw and my eyes were red and puffy.I slowly stood up and made my way over to the window,I slowly removed every nail,one by one.I removed the last one and heard it drop to the ground,hoping my parents didn't hear,I paused and listened,nothing.The wind hit me as I opened the window,blowing my hair and making my eyes water,I stuck my head out the window,I looked down and there was a 2 story drop,enough to kill a person as small as me,I shakily pulled my legs over the window cill,thoughts crowded my mind as I closed my eyes.I leaned my head back and slowly let go,for seconds it's like a was finally free,flying away from all of the evil,away from my mother and father,always from all the sadness and pain.Suddenly I made impact,not with the ground,but with...someone?The impact was so intense that it knocked me out causing me to see nothing but darkness.
