Lucy & Bernard

Chapter 1; Lucy

Lucy was sitting at home with her father, she was placing all her dolls in their beds before she had to go. Lucy is a young, beautiful 7 year old girl with peachy blonde hair. She knew what happened to her mother. It was a sad and short story. Her mother was a killer, a ruthless one. She killed day and night. But as one night approached when Lucy was only 4 years old her mother came into her room when Lucy was asleep with a mask on. The eyes were like metal bars and the face was grey, dripping with red. She was holding a huge crow bar and swung it down onto Lucy's bed. Lucy woke up and screamed as loud as she could and her father rushed in, got his wife, and pulled her out. That was the last time she had seen her mother. Lucy was told her father called the police and her mother was sentenced to death.

"Lucy? Are you ready to go?" Her father yelled down to her from the stairs.

"I need to put Margret in her pajamas and in bed first." Margret was her favorite doll, she had the same color hair as Lucy and she had gotten that doll the day after her mother was taken away.

"Oh alright Lucy, well finish up and I already have your stuff packed up and in the back of the car."

"Thanks Daddy! I'm almost finished."

Lucy set Margret in her bed and ran out to the car and hopped into the back seat. Her father followed close behind and got into the drivers seat and turned on the car.

"Lucy, you do know I am only driving you to the bus pick up?"

"Yeah I know." Lucy actually hadn't known but she didn't want him to explain it.

They had been driving for about 20 minutes when they pulled up to the bus stop. They both got out of the car and Lucy's father handed her her suit case.

"Well, I guess this is it for now. I'll see you in a couple days." Her father started to cry. "I love you very much and don't move from this spot until the bus comes."

"Alright daddy, don't start crying I'll be perfectly fine!" Lucy said back to him about to start crying herself.

They heard a noise coming over the road. Her father looked at his watch, then looked back up and gave Lucy a huge hug and the bus was here. The doors opened and Lucy walked inside and turned around to say goodbye but when she did the doors were closed and her father was already back in the car and beginning to drive away.

She began to cry as she walked to the middle of the bus and sat down. The girl sitting across from her looked over and said,"Hi! I'm Moul!"
