"Funny" his laugh was so dry and sickening, my stomach was doing flips "Tessa Loset"...

Sighing I shut the engine off and stare up at the house in front of me. The old trashed, falling apart house. It is ugly light green color and chipping white trim. The old creaky porch in all its glory.
'Oh, how I have not missed this place'
"Are we here?" I heard an overly tired voice from the seat behind me
"Yes baby, we're here" I say getting out and pull the seat forwards "Let us go explore, shall we?" I ask unbuckling her
"Yes!" She shouts clapping her hands, all tiredness gone. I pick her up out of her seat and set her on the ground
"Race you" I say closing her door
"You're on" she took off towards the porch, I race after her. As we reach the porch, I stop
🔒🔐🔒 ~ (This means we are looking into her past)
"Mom?" I say with tearful eyes "Please don't let them take me. MOM! Please" I begged as they started dragging me out of the front door and onto the porch
"I'm sorry my child, but I can't have a sinner in my household" she says laying her hand on my cheek
"No, I'm sorry. Please no, I do not want to go" the two men lifted me up and lightly throw me into the back of the truck "No, mom!" I pound on the window
"You'll take care of her won't you Lilly?" I heard my mother ask my aunt
"Yes Sarah. When the baby is born, we will take it. It will go to the orphanage and you will have your daughter back" my aunt said firmly
"Good"
"No" I cry slouching into the seat "No" I whisper again wrapping my arms around my stomach
🔓❣️🔓 ~ (This means you unlocked part of her past)
"Mama?" I snap out of my trance and look at Hazel
"You, ok?" She asks
"Yeah baby, just taking it all in" I tell her and walk towards the front door. I unlock it and step into the house "Home sweet home" I tell myself grabbing Hazel's hand
"It's dirty in here" I laugh and nod
"Sure is. We will let us go set up in one of the rooms for the night and then tomorrow we can start cleaning this place up. How does that sound?" Hazel nods eagerly
➖➖➖ I look over at Hazel sleeping soundly on the bed. I wish I could sleep, but I cannot. The nightmares are too much, nothing stops them. I have seen many doctors, but none have given me a solution to stop them. I sigh and pull her closer to me as I stroke her hair. I start to hum
"Goodnight my sweet girl and my you never have nightmares" I kiss the top of her head and stare at the ceiling with my arm protectively wrapped around my beautiful daughter ➖➖➖ "Hazel, honey. Time to get up" I shake her
"No" she swats at me
"Hazel Jean" I snap at her, she shot right up at the sound of her middle name "That's what I thought. Go get dressed, we'll go get breakfast in town" I tell her
"Ok" she says all cheery. I chuckle and shake my head as I watch her struggle to get her shirt on "Help" Is all I hear
"Your shirt is on backwards" I laugh helping her get it on. I quickly help her get the rest of her clothes on and shoes before we head to my car
I help her into her car seat before getting into the driver seat. I turn the car on and pull out of the drive. I head towards town and out of the rundown neighborhood. It did not used to be like this, but things change.
********* Hope you like it so far. It is going to be a good book, I promise you.
Do not mind the spelling errors. I will fix them, just let me know where it is if you see one.
