He takes a deep breath. “I th-” he stopped as we heard Cassandra’s scream. We
ran to her room; she was crying on her bed, I rushed to her and cradled her to my
chest. “What the matter baby” I asked as I rubbed her back “Mommy” she sniffles
“someone was watching me through my winnow” She sniffles again “how do you
know that baby, weren’t you asleep” I ask “I was asleep and I had a weally bad
dream. A mean man was trying to take me away from you. He hurt you and ven
he took me and hurt me” She starts crying again “shhhh…. Baby what did this evil
man look like… tell mommy” I try soothing her by hugging her tighter. “He has
short but long hair and mommy his eyes were scary. He looked weally scary.” Right
then I knew who she was talking about. “And when I woke up he was at my
winnow mommy I’m scared” I was scared too but I can’t show it cause I don’t want
to scare her more. “Come on baby lets go sleep in mommy’s room.” I say picking
her up and taking her back to my room, and laid her down. I looked at Lucas, “Hey
do you mind staying in here with us. You can sleep on the bed too, because there
is enough room for all of us.” I ask “yeah of course! I don’t want anything to
happen to either of you” I smiled at him; I sat on the bed and lay down next to
Cassandra. Lucas turned off the light and crawled in bed next to Cassandra. As
soon as Cassandra was asleep I whispered “Lucas are you awake?" I was hoping he
was because I really needed to talk to him. “yeah why" he whispered back. “We
both know who she was talking about. We need to talk to my mom about maybe
moving to another state or something because I don’t think I can handle him
hurting me or her. He has already hurt me once, but I don’t regret it because it
gave me Cassandra. But we need to do something fast." I whisper "I know Hun, but
we will talk to your mom in the morning. I think you are right; we need to leave
this town. But let’s go to bed now and think about it later, good night pumpkin."
he whispered back and leaned over Cassandra and kissed my cheek. He has called
me pumpkin for as long as I can remember.
*Flashback*
it was Halloween when we were 10 he dressed up as a pirate and I dressed up as a pumpkin. Of course I know that I could have gone with something more uhmm.... What’s the word...?
Ah more girly but I did not like any of the girly ones so, I got a pumpkin costume.
He teased me for the entire day saying "hey pumpkin come over here." and ever
since then he has called me pumpkin.
*flashback over*
When I woke up I saw that Cassandra and Lucas were still asleep. I looked at the clock and
saw it was 7:30 in the morning. I slowly got out of bed trying not to wake them, I went to
the kitchen, and it has pale blue walls and stainless steel appliances and a marble counter
