Troubles

Wait...Your what?!

I was running, running so fast. My breath tearing the inside of my throat as I made my way to the only comfortable place in my life, the only place where I can be alone. The abandoned house was across the over side of the forest so I was the only person who knew about it. It was the size of a normal three bed house, one kitchen, one bathroom, three bedrooms and a joint living dining room. The outside was supposed to be white and the windows clean, but alas the house was not white, it was a greying colour and the paint was flaking so you could see the brick behind; the windows were yellow from the grime and most of them were cracked or even smashed.

I made my way toward the path leading toward the front door. I kicked the bottom corner as it would not open if you didn't. The opening door revealed the dark inside of the house, inside wasn't any better than the outside, the walls had cracks and the paint was gone in some parts, the floorboards were coming off and the varnish was gone so you got splinters if you walked in bare feet. Downstairs was small yet it had enough space for two people to walk side by side, the staircase took up most off the room as a wall separated the hallway from the living/dining room area.

I walked past the staircase so as to make my way to the kitchen opposite. The Kitchen was also small but you could happily cook a meal in it. I took a cup form the cupboard above the sink and made myself a cup of water. The government was supposed to nock this place down but forgot about it as the land wasn't worth much anyway, so the water and heating still worked and well as the electricity. I stood in the kitchen and stared at a familiar painting above the door frame

Back-flash

"Honey could you come here please the women said as she looked at her loving daughter sitting in front of her.

As the old man walked in the women stood up and held the child's drawing in front of her

"Isn't she the best drawer the old man took the drawing and looked at it. He then put the drawing down and sat next to the child.

"I think this should go up, what do you think sweetie?  the little girl looked at him then at the women and smiled the biggest smile she could manage.

"Yes" And with that the little girl and the old man walked to the kitchen and hung the picture above the door.

"now we'll see it whenever we leave the kitchen. Well done sweet heart then kissed the top of the girls head.

Flashback ends

I blinked and then put the cup down, all I wanted was to sit down and imagen what life would be like without that horrible man.

*bang*

A loud bang went off in the living room making me jump. I walked over to the room, usually I kept this room locked but today the door was wide open revealing three boys sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"What do you think you're doing?  As if practiced all the boys jumped up at the same time with the same look on there face. Shock. I stared at the boys and crossed my arms.

"I'm not going to say it again, what are you doing?" The boys looked at each other then the biggest one of them stepped forward.

"Hello there, my name is Kayden and I do believe I own this place, soooo I should be asking you that question" A smile stretched across his face and I flinched wait did he say he owned this place.

"y..y..you own this place?" I felt like I was about to cry, no why this place. This is my place.

"Yes I got this place cheap, apparently the last owner of this place died of a horrible disease, but well things happen.."
