Orphans

Chapter 4

        I kept running until I couldn't anymore. Why? Why did something like this happen?! It had started to rain, whenever it rained I never knew what direction I was going in. I looked back at my house, the man that killed my parents could find me in this kind of weather. The problem was that I had no where to go. 

I then felt someone grab my waist and pull me up. I screamed and started to kick my legs, hoping that I would kick that person. 

"Well, aren't we full of energy." I stiffened. I didn't dare to look into his eyes. All I could imagine is that this guy had black hair and golden eyes. I could smell my parent's dry blood on him. I felt pain in my eyes. Do I even have a chance of running away from him? 

"Now, let's go, little girl." 
"No!" I started to swing my legs again and eventually, I kicked him. He released me and fell to the ground.

"You little...!" He growled. He then took out his pocket knife and slashed my shoulder. The cut was from my shoulder blade down to my elbow. I was bleeding badly. The wound was too deep for me to stop the blood from rushing. I held my arm and started to run, trying to ignore the pain.  

I heard the man stand up. He then started to run. As he almost caught me again, I sprinted. I was surprised how fast you could run when you're scared. I kept running, not daring to look back to see how close he was. I then ended up in the street. A car came towards me, honking it's horn while it stopped. 

I ran to the car's window and knocked on it. The driver put down their window and looked at with a funny look on their face. My vision was getting hazy, but I could identify that it was a woman. 

"What do you want you little brat?"
"Please help me, there's this man who's chasing me. He killed my parents."  The woman laughed, not believing my story.

"  A man killed your parents?! Ha! Sucks to be you!"  I then looked into her eyes carefully. They were really red. She was drunk.

"Madam, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk! And you can go live in the garbage for all I care!" 
" Come on Bella! Ditch the stupid trash!"  I then noticed that there was another girl, but she was in the back seat with a boy. The girl had blond hair and dark green eyes, similar to mine. She wore... a crop top and shorts. Her zipper was unzipped and the boy's shirt was off. I could only open my mouth, not a single word came from it.  I bet I started to blush too. That was gross! 

"Then why not you drive Ellie! Or Cade!"  She asked drunkenly. Ellie then scoffed. 

" You didn't drink that much as we did! Now drive and leave this damn girl!"  Before I could say anything else, they drove off and I could hear them laughing. This made my blood boil. 

I started to run again and hope that someone will stop and take me somewhere in order for me to rest, but no one stopped for me. They would either keep driving or they will call me names and then drive away. I figured I lost that man and just sat down at the side of the road.  Every second my vision started to get even hazier. I didn't know how much time I had left until I could die from blood loss.  The wound was really deep and there wasn't anything I could do to patch it up. 

As I started to give up hope, a car stopped in front of me. A lady exited the car, she wore a black dress. She also had a black umbrella. 

" Who... are you?" I asked.  The lady kneeled down to my height and looked at me. I now got a better look of her. She had messy curly red hair and blue eyes.  She looked beautiful. 

" Are you lost little girl?" I nodded. She then noticed my blood soaked arm. She grabbed it and looked at the wound closely, like she didn't want to miss a single detail. I then saw a smile that formed on her lips.
