SisterHOOD (Urban Fiction)

Intro

Taking multiple hits to the head, I still fight because I know what I have to do. My mom is being attacked by her own brother and her step sister is laughing at her.

Shalise swung the bat and once again it hit me in my head. I already put my younger sister In the car. And Thomas is upstairs dead on the floor. Shalise and Junior got to him. Luckily my little sister was able to call my phone while I was at the hotel and let me know what was going on. I knew to run to the car as soon as I heard her crying and tryna talk at the same time. Moms was in the backround yelling and cursing. That's when a shot went off.

Once I arrived I ran upstairs to where all the screaming and yelling was. I was scared. My arms and knees started to buckle up. I walked into the kitchen where Thomas was on the floor struggling to breath. I ran through each and every room looking for my moms and my sister. Then a noticed my uncle's wife Shalise holdimg my little sister over the patio. Anger filled my body so fast. I ran and put her in a choke hold. Forcing her to bring my sister back on her feet.

"China go to the car!" I yelled while pushing her out the door. "Go to the car and stayyy_uhhh."

I found myself gasping for air as I was being choked up against the wall. I looked around to see if I could grab any object and hit her with it but I started to give up from how tight her grip was getting.

"Ya know I always admired you. You were so pretty to me. That's why I don't like yo threadin ass now. Cause I was never that pretty. And ass for your stuck up ass momma...." she said banging my head against the wall. "Your momma bouta die. She continues to play with my money. And I never liked her from the get go."

"Let..........hhggghu" I tried speaking. The only thing that was on my mind was to kill her.

I kicked her knee in causing her to lose her grip around my neck. She fell to the floor screaming In pain.

"Shalise!" I heard Junior calling from the other room. "Shalise! You good fatz?"

I ran to the door where the bat was located and as soon as I grabbed it i found myself falling down 20 steps.

I laid on the floor in shock and in pain. Is this some sort of dream. Is my family really going through this. Is this really happening. I felt blood running from the top of my head down the side of my face.

As she struggled to walk downstairs. I slowly got up and ran to my back up phone which I always left on the pool table. As I picked up the phone I called 911. The operator answered the phone and asked what was the emergency. But before I could speak i felt this sharp pain go across my face. As I fell to the floor I felt another sharp pain in my head. It took me a moment to finally realise that the sharp pain was the bat that Shalise was swinging.

As I started to crawl I felt another sharp pain in my leg causing me to scream unconditionally.

"Stand up!" Shalise laughed. "Whos tough tony now? Not you." she giggled. "Now stand up!" she yelled while hitting me in my head yet again.

Get up........ Get up. If Im still alive now. Then I have a purpose. Im meant to do something. If god didn't take me yet then I have to do what I gotta do. My little sister is in the car. Moms upstairs with her brother, whose doing who know what with her. Thomas is dead. There's nobody here but my little sister, my moms, and I. Then there's the enemy.

I struggled to get up. My head hurts like its about to explode. I have no feeling in my left head..... And there's a lot of my blood on the floor.

"Yeah get up lil momma." she joked.

I couldn't stand her. I could barely move yet Im standing up doing what shes telling me to do. I tried to make a break for it running to the stairs but yet again the bat canceled the attempt.

*Taking multiple hits to the head, I still fight because I know what I have to do. My mom is being attacked by her own brother and her step sister is laughing at her.

Shalise swung the bat and once again it hit me in my head. I already put my younger sister In the car. And Thomas is upstairs dead on the floor. Shalise and Junior got to him. Luckily my little sister was able to call my phone while I was at the hotel and let me know what was going on. I knew to run to the car as soon as I heard her crying and tryna talk at the same time. Moms was in the backround yelling and cursing. That's when a shot went off.*

As I continue to take hits to the head. I suddenly lose all my feeling. I can't feel anything. But the moment that bat stopped, sirens began to speak from a distance.

Shalise jumped up and ran back upstairs to get Junior so they can get out of sight.

Once she made it upstairs. I crawled upstairs to where my sister and my moms was. China was bent over crying on mama chest as she struggled to breath.

"Momma!" I yelled.. "Momma. Can you hear me. Come on momma.!"

"Brianna...." momma struggled to say. While grabbing me and chinas hand. "Take care your sister..... ."

"Momma dont worry about that." I said cutting her off. "Imma protect her like I always have. We need to get you to the hospital. Come on."

Moms began to make funny noises when she began to inhale and exhale. "Imma be alright...... Imma be in a better place.......... Imma be with grandma and with TT. Just go. Imma be alright.... Imma be.....uhhh"

You could hear her take her last breath. I ran to her room and opened up her closet. There was this hiding place where she kept all her money. She told me about it if this were to ever happen. I grabbed it and ran back to where my sister was starring down at moms dead body as she laid, holding my little sister hands.

"Momma!" my 10 year old sis cried. " momma. Wake up.... Mommaaaaaa.. Mommmmmmmmmm."

"Come on china lets go." I said standing up.

"Mommaaaaaaaaaaaaa." She cried.

"Lets go.. Now!" I yelled. As the sirens were getting closer and closer by the second. "If we don't leave the house now. They will take us and separate us. Your only 10 china. Im only 16. They will put us in a foster home. And they will separate us."

"But what about momma." she cried. "We can't just leave her here."

"We're leaving now. Mom is gone. She's in heaven now. She told me to look out for you. And that's what Im gonna do even if I have to kill or die for you. I failed for momma. So I promise I wont fail with you. Now lets go!"

Slowly heading out the door we ran to the car........

Started the engine........

And left the state......
