00. PROLOGUE!

............................................
Blair when she was 14.
.............................................

I am hiding inside my room and I closed the door. I would have locked it but Griffin took the key.

I am sitting on my bed, arms around my legs like I am hugging myself and trembling.

He got drunk again.

I can hear my mom screaming at him not to hit her and I feel so helpless right now that I can't even protect my own mother from that monster....who am I kidding she is no better either.

I breath in:

One.

inhale

Two.

exhale

Three

door opens

I hold my breath.

I look over at the door slowly but scared. I don't want him to hit me. Not again.

I sigh relieved.

It's my brother Eric.

Fortunately.

He immediately comes at my bed and hugs me. "Shhhhh....your brother is here now little hazel." He calls me hazel since my eye color.

I breath in slowly and I can hear my heart beating so fast like it might get out in any minute. "Inhale and exhale hazel. I'm here." My brother says as he strokes my hair gently trying to calm me from my panic attacks but I can tell he is sweating as well and shaking in fear.

My mom's screaming stop.

Me and my brother both flinch and look at each other scared.

When screams and yelling are heard we know what's going on but what scares us the most is when we don't hear anything.....silence.

"It's alright don't worry, okay?" My brother says to me as he himself shakes in fear too. He stands up and walks towards the door slowly to check what's going on.

I am left alone inside my room waiting patiently and scared.

The clock is ticking.

One.

tick

Two.

tock

"AHHH!" That is my mother's voice. Something has happened.

Something bad has happened.

I need to check it. I don't care if I may be consider as "white people in horror movies". My brother. I need to see.

I walk down the stairs and take a peak. My brother's voice is heard "Dad, y-you're drunk...leave that please." Leave? Leave what? I have to see whats going on. I take a little peak without being noticed. Oh no.

Griffin is holding a knife.

Griffin is holding a knife!

-"Bea come on now before they close the bookstore!" Amy calls her friend Blair while running.

"I'm coming, slow down now till I catch my breath a bit!" Blair says as she pants. Their favorite author named Audrey Raven (made up name) has published a new book which is called  "Phoenix". And these two best friends are huge fans of her books so they had to get it.
