Rose I had that dream again, that dream where I am drowning in a sea of hopelessness and fear. It felt so real. Real like I was re-living it over and over again. All I wanted to do was get out and now I am out I still feel like I am there. This feeling of hopelessness is just revolting! Why won't it go away, no one understands. No one will ever understand what I saw! Only Rose could understand. "I just want to hide away in a cupboard and cry, but I can't, all I can do is stay strong and help Rose get away from HIM. I hate HIM! I cannot believe that he has done this again. Rose is only five years old and cannot control what is happening to her, but I want to help her. Why am I so scared of HIM?" I thought. I know that I can but I am scared that if I do then I am going to get marked again and I don’t want that, but she is my baby sister and I will NOT let that happen. Not to her! I am going in and I don’t care what happens to me... …"OW!" I screamed. He marked me again, but at least Rose got away which is all that I wanted. " Rose. Run! Now! He is coming!" I said. "I will stop HIM from getting any closer! I don’t care what will happen to me just. Go!" I screamed. "I love you sis, ALWAYS AND FOREVER!" Rose replied. As I watched her run away I heard HIS footsteps getting closer and closer. I tried turning around but HE had already got me. What am I going to do now. I thought in fear. I wish I was still dreaming, but I'm not. I want to get out of here, but I can't because I am trapped in the basement of my own house with soundproof walls, so now no-one can hear me and I want out. No point in screaming my mouth is taped with duct tape anyway. I hope rose is ok now. Where is she? I wondered. My mum should be home soon and I will be out by morning as she comes down every Saturday morning for her daily singing. It is seven forty-five pm now and mom should be back from work in fifth-teen minutes and Rose will be ok. He is going soon and I will have no control over the next time He comes here. "I am going to talk to mum when she finds me" I thought. It's eight pm now and footsteps are heard. "Is it mum?" I wondered... ...The basement door unlocks and I wonder if it's mum. There are loud footsteps that and they don't sound like mum's. It is getting louder and louder now. I am starting to get extremely scared. I wish I was out of this rope. The rope came off, but no one was there. I took the tape from my mouth. I wondered how it happened. Then I screamed so loudly that the neighbors next door could hear me. Mum rushed down and BANG! She fell down the stairs. I rushed over to her in fear that she might be hurt. I grabbed her phone then rung for an ambulance. She couldn't move at all and I didn’t know what to do. So, I waited and waited for them to come, but no one came for three hours. I called and called them and still no answer. As I had some time to think I wandered where Rose could be. All I could do was worry about the both of them. I just sat there and cried until the medics came. They took mum to the hospital and I went searching for Rose. I found her in the only spot I knew she would have gone. Our spot. The one safe place in our lives, Ardith Ave. Soon as I got there, all I saw was her sitting in the den with tears running down her face. I just wanted to sit there and cry with her but I have got to be strong for her and help her get through this. "I thought he hurt you" Rose said. "Let's not think like that, ok. You're ok and that is all that matters." I replied. "where is mum?" Rose asked. "She is in hospital getting some help". I responded." I don't understand, what do you mean?". Rose asked. "Mum fell down the basement steps after I screamed for help. "Is she going to be ok?". Rose replied. I wondered to myself is she was going to be ok or not, but I decided to answer her with " she will be fine". We just arrived at the hospital and I am trying to find out what room she is in, but all they keep telling me is that she is in surgery. " why is she in surgery?" I asked the receptionist". The receptionist replied with she has a broken leg, back and arm". I started to cry. I blame myself for my mum's life-long injury. Rose asked " why are you crying?". The receptionist replied with " mummy is in hospital because she has broken her leg, back and arm". Me and Rose sat on the floor crying our eyes out. We felt someone's arm on our shoulders... … as I looked behind me, I couldn't believe who I saw. I was shocked when I saw who it was. It was our dad. I asked dad " why come back now, why did it have to be now?". I said. " I wanted to make sure you are OK, the three of you.
