Melanie fought the urge to throw up

It was already too much with a wolf screaming to death

Now her own teddy bear had killed itself

She left Tyler's house

And ran and ran and ran

The world looked different

More strange and peculiar

As if she hadn't seen it in decades

It was much more quieter

And a bit more gloomy

She walked slower now

Her pulse booming in her ears

If she could just find her home,

Everything would be alright

If she could just return to her house,

Everything would be fine

She heard ambulance sirens in the distance

The only thing that was heard

She hoped a baby was about to be born

Not that an accident had happened

She walked and finally saw her house

But her excitement suddenly dropped

Something was wrong

Terribly wrong

In her front yard stood the ambulance she'd heard

Also police cars

And there was at least twenty people around her house

Melanie ran towards it all

Just as the front door opened

Melanie abruptly stopped

And watched the people walking out

It was her mother

Held back by weaponed policemen

They securely held her arms as she was screaming

In shock Melanie ran to them

"What's going on!?"

"MELANIE!" Mommy bellowed "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?"

Melanie was too shocked now to answer

The policemen forced Mommy to calm down

And they pushed her into one of their vans

Melanie felt how she got lifted up by something

She screamed and kicked but it was Edwin

"Melanie, where the hell have you been? You have been gone for three days"

Melanie's tears started pouring "What's happening to Mommy?"

Edwin's voice was shaky and weak "She won't be with us for a while"

"Why not!"

Melanie didn't remember so much after that

She remembered a police taking her aside

Telling her the story

That made Melanie lose the rest she had left of her sanity

"Your father is dead. Your mother, who has been suffering from alcoholism for a while now, relapsed when your father brought home another woman. They're both dead. You and your brother are going to foster care."

Melanie passed out after that
