A little bit like Cinderella

Chapter 4

The picture is Amber Heard as Lea summers

(Claudias POV)

I don't really know how I expected her to take the news. I just decided that I'll find out when I tell her. I was hoping she wouldn't be mad.

Saying I was nervous to tell her was an understatement. But I knew I had to do it. She deserved to know.

The worst part was that she looked like she was gonna break right there and die. Her heart was broken. But it broke me too to see her reaction after I told her. I don't know long we stayed in that position, me holding her and her crying on my shoulder. Why did the world have to be so mean.

Why did Verida have to be so cruel. At least don't treat her like she's worth nothing. She could do so much in this world.

That's why I wanted to stay with her today. But I couldn't. I had to try to find her parents, which wasn't gonna be easy. I wasn't even sure what her real last name was.

So I did the only thing I could think of, I went to one of my friends that can track and find anybody and everybody. We call him tracker jacker. Just like in the hunger games. I don't know how we started to call him that, but ever since then it stuck.

10:30
All day today was spent at his house. When I asked him if he could do it, he said its not impossible, but it will be difficult. I gave him the only pic I have of her and waited. I would answer his questions when needed and confirm his info.

I was beginning to become restless and guilty of leaving her alone. I should have stayed home today since she might get in trouble for being slower then usual. But I had to do this too. I wanted to help her escape. Enough is enough.

11:16

I kept on looking at the clock in my car. I don't know why but I had this feeling that made me want to go home and see her. Something didn't feel right.

As I parked in the drive way, I could see that something happened outside. There was a flattened part in my moms perfect grass. Oh no. She might of tried to run away but got caught. I hope she was able to run away. I sprinted into the house only to see my worst nightmare. I froze. I felt like I couldn't breath.

Lea was on the ground, not crying or making any noise. Was she dead? Please God help her. Don't let her die.
While shaking in fear, I stepped closer to her. "Lea? Are you awake" I said in a light whisper. No response. Tears started rolling down my cheek. Uncontrollably. "Please Lea. Wake up. Come on, I know you can do it. Your a strong girl come on please!" I didn't care about being quite. I wanted her to wake up and know I was here for her and I was never gonna leave.

I started to have a panic attack. No. This isn't happing. This isn't real. I told myself. But it is. Said a voice in my head. Think about how to save her. Calm yourself and think, said that voice again.

And that's what I did. I could hear movement from upstairs so I had little time. My mom told me to never call the 911 for her. Ever. But I couldn't risk it. And that's what I did. I called 911 as fast as I could. I'm surprised I was able to form the number because my hands where shaking like a maraca the whole time. I almost dropped it a few times. I had stopped crying (I don't know how but I did) so I could talk to the 911 people.

"911 what's your emergency?"
"Hi I need an ambulance as quick as possible at 324 Barly avenue. My sister is dying every second we waste. Please hurry." I said in a rushed tone. Not just because she was dying, but I could hear my mom coming toward the stairs.
" Ok miss an ambulance is on its way. Stay on the line with me until they get there ok?"
"Ok".

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I was full on crying now. I haven't cried in a long time. I don't usually cry. Yes I would get very sad but not to the point where I would start to cry.

Not only seeing her in the condition she was made me cry, but the living room. It was a mess. The nicely placed furniture was now toppled over, had blood stains and some of them had broken. The floors were covered in blood that was now covering me but I didn't care, and the walls had smudges of blood and one or two dents from probably her being smashed into it.

"Claudia? Is that you ? If that's you just ignore Lea. She'll get back up. Hopefully soon so she can make us lunch. I'm starving. Plus she deserved it. She tried to run away that ungrateful little batch." She murmured the last part but I still heard.
All I wanted to do was punch her and hurt her just like she did to her. HOW COULD SHE SAY THAT?! So after beating her almost to death and after she was already in pain, you expect her to wake up perfectly fine and be your slave again? What the hell?! Honestly, is she stupid or stupid?

I was interrupted by the sound of a siren. Thank the lord. I ran outside and signalled the paramedics to turn the sound and lights off so Verida won't hear or see it. Confused, they did it and quickly parked the ambulance.

"Please hurry. She's badly hurt. But please try not to make any sound."
They all looked at me weirdly but only for a split second as they returned their attention to Lea.

Carefully they rapped her neck in a neck brace and checked for a pulse. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding when I heard him say quietly that there was a small pulse. After doing all the things they had to do, they put her on the stretcher and left.

I was more then happy when they got her out of the house without my mom noticing. "Mom! I'm going out. Don't know when I'll be back". "K whatever". Since I was 20, I didn't have a curfew and she didn't really care wherever I go. I headed to the ambulance and was about to hop in when one of the paramedics stopped me.

"Sorry miss you can't ride with her"
"Your going to let me in that damn ambulance or I swear, I can make you loose everything you have. I have connections." I said in the scariest voice I've ever used. Not only was he scared, but so was I. "Now stop wasting time and drive us to the hospital."
"Y-yes M-miss" he stuttered while running to the drivers seat. I climbed in and sat beside Lea. I could feel the tears starting up again.

"Please Lea please. Hang on tight. Your safe now" I kept on repeating that to her all the way there. For even though she's alive, she's very unstable.

It might even be the last time I see her alive.
