Chapter 5

The young blonde was sitting in her sitting room, on her luxurious black recliner, watching the little brunette girl, her daughter, playing with her Barbie dolls. The little girl looked so happy, just sitting there playing, not caring about anything else. Not knowing what was happening around her. Too young to know that her mama and papa were having problems. Too young to know that the reason her papa was angry with her mama was because her papa’s brother hated her and her mama. Too young to notice that her papa blamed her for his brothers hatred.

While the lady was admiring the little girl, the front door banged open, causing the blonde to jump. Looking up at the clock, she noticed that it was only 4:30pm, which meant that it was too early for her husband to be home. Curious, she got up out of her seat and headed to the hallway to see who was here. Once she took a step out of the sitting room and into the hallway, she froze.

Standing there, at the door was a tall, scrawny man. He had shaggy, black hair, dark brown eyes, almost black, a pointy nose and long big lips. He was wearing brown slacks, a white button up shirt with black dressy shoes. His hands behind his back, he smirked at the blonde, before walking towards her.

“Brandon” She let out a small whisper, taking a step back. Brandon was her husbands’ only brother. He just continued to walk towards her. When he got close enough to her, he grabbed her shoulders and shoved her back, making the doors to the sitting room fly open. The blonde let out a small gasp, wincing in pain. The sound made the little girl look up from her Barbie dolls, seeing her uncle standing there with his hands on her mothers’ shoulders scared the little girl.

Noticing how scared her daughter was, the lady shot the little girl the biggest smile she could muster. Brandon’s smirk grew bigger when he saw the exchange through the mother and daughter. Once the mother was looking back at him, he let go of her shoulders and raised his right hand, bringing it down, he slapped the lady hard across her left cheek. Letting out a scream, the blonde fell to the ground.

The little girl ran to her mothers’ side, tears clouded the girls eyes. Brandon walked over to the little girl and shoved her away from the mother. Bending down, so that he was looking straight into the little girls eye, he smiled before saying “This is your entire fault. If you were a boy, your mama and papa would still be happy together, but no. You just had to go and be a girl. You little bitch.” And with that he punched the little girl in the stomach, sending her flying to the ground.

He stood up and turned around to the mother, kicked her in the stomach and pulled out a gun. “My brother was a fool to marry a slut like you.” He sneered, before pulling the trigger. The bullet shot straight through the mothers’ head, causing her to die instantly. He turned around and walked out of the room, down the hallway, out the front door, into his car and drove away. The little girl just lay there, bawling her eyes out.

I shot up in my bed, hands clutching my chest. It was just a dream Hunter, pull yourself together! I told myself, taking deep breaths, I tried to calm myself. I crawled out of bed and walked into my bathroom, grabbing the cup on the side of the sink, I filled it up with water and skulled in down in just one gulp. I walked back into my bedroom, noticing that my TV was still on the channel I was watching before I fell asleep, I walked over to my TV and turned it off.

Once back into bed, I cuddled up in my blankets and turned around. As I went to pull my legs up to my chest, my arms hit a solid form. Confused as hell I flung my eyes open and let out a small gasp when I saw that the thing that I had hit was in fact a person, Dominic to be exact.

Okay, well he must have fallen asleep last night, when we came up here to watch some TV. Unsure of what to do, I kicked him off my bed. He let out a massive “Ow!” once he hit the floor. I leaned over the side of my bed to make sure he was okay, he was laying on his back with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes and looked around, confused by his surroundings. I let out a small giggle, making his head snap towards me.
