~Brianna~

I awake to a pounding headache and  a young distressed face looking down at me.
"She's up! She's okay," a little girl shrieks.
A smiles spreads across my face as I realize the voice belongs to Haley.
"I missed you so much. I thought you were gonna leave me here all by myself with these scary people." Haley whimpers.
"I would never do that." I croaked.
Just then someone clears their throat causing Haley and I to turn towards the doorway. Standing in the doorway is the big burly man, Brett. Haley whimpers and grabs my arm tightly.
"Glad to see you're feeling better Lilah! Your mother will be bringing up some pain killers for both your ankle and your head."
Oh my ankle! I almost forgot about the pain in my ankle because of my wretched migraine.
"Now Natalie let's let Lilah get some rest and you can come and help me set the table for dinner."
"No! I want to stay with Brianna." Haley whines, her eyes brimming  with tears.
Brett's face twists up and turns  a deep shade of red. "Natalie, we've  been over this! Her name is Lilah, and you need to stop crying right now, or I'll give you something to cry about."
It was at that moment that I noticed the red mark on Haley's right cheek and the tear stains streaming down her face.
Haley continued to cry which only made Brett angrier.
"Come on Natalie! Let your sister rest!" He growled as he walked toward us.
I could feel Haley's grip tighten and her body start to shake as she continued to cry.
"She could stay if she wants. I wasn't actually planning on going back to sleep." I pipe in.
"No! She's coming with me because the little brat  needs to learn to be respectful and do what's she's told!" He said as he grabs her arm wrenching it to the side.
Haley lets out a terrifying scream. Trying to muster up all the strength I had, I lept out of bed and ran over to Haley trying to free her from his crushing grip.
"No she's not going with you!" I yelled trying to seem confident so Haley would stop crying.
"Move out of the way Lilah! Unless you want to be punished as well!"
"I'm not going to let you take her. You're gonna have to go through me first!" I said which probably wasn't the best idea since I was pretty beaten up already and could barely stand on both of my feet. Brett realized the same thing I did and chuckled.
"I don't have time for this." He mumbled releasing Haley's arm. He stretched out his hand and backhanded me causing me to crumple to the floor. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.
I heard Haley scream again and could see Brett pulling her towards the door. I tried to get up and follow them, but it was no use. The darkness had already started to blanket my vision. I fall to the floor, and couldn't find any strength to get back up.
"Brianna help me! Pwease help me!" Haley shrieked followed by the door being slammed.
I tried to stay awake but it was no use. The darkness overtook my body, and I passed out
