Installment Five

Eventually I returned home. I would spend days at home, just me in the house, sometimes she would join me, to bring along her 'male' friends, who seemed more interested in the quiet girl in the corner. Then one day, she came home with a new, very masculine sounding man.

I sat there, silent. I heard rummaging downstairs, and hushed voices. The rain beat against the windows like a stick againt a drum. I listened. I could here her wispering, to a male voice "She is here. I know it. Take her."

I was confused. I must be the "she", but why would she want to take me away, what had I done to her? I heard a bang, and smashing of clay. She then started shouting out, like a possed witch. I then heard footsteps running against the stairs. The doors were being opened and flung about, she was shouting. I stepped backwards, trying to find somewhere to hide when the door swang open.

"Here. Here. The bitch is HERE". She has a unusual smile over her face. I was scared. She walked towards me. "Little, Little Girl. What have you gone and done. Running away? How naughty. What will daddy say?".

I was confused. I wasn't going to run away. Then I realised. She ran towards me, like a bull. A needle was gripped in her hands. I screamed, ducked, she shouted and then swung her arms towards me.

Bang!
