Black & Blue

Prologue

•10 YEARS AGO•

"When we get in here go straight into a room and shut the door," said Ruben.  Ive never been here before so I just hid in the first room I found.  He looked very angry and frustrated.  Ten minutes had gone by and I heard nothing.  "Where is the money," he eventually said. A women started crying saying she didnt know.  He started hitting her repeatedly . I cracked open the door and started watching . I felt bad for her but she had to have done something bad for him to react like that . A girl that was around my age was staring right at me . I shut the door and locked it . She started banging and eventually stopped when Ruben told her to go back to her room.  I heard sirens and I started to panic.  Ruben said the police were very bad people.  They treat people bad especially if you're African American . So I jumped out the window and started running fast as I could . I ran back to the house and hid. Days went by and still no sign of Ruben .  I was starting to run out of food and the neighbors started getting suspicious.  After two weeks, the police finally arrived at my house.  I tried to play it off like there was an adult here. They didn't buy it so now I'm stuck at the police station .  They tried to find my birth mother but it wasn't any luck and my dad has life in prison.  They told me that Ruben would be in prison for a long time.  They then immediately dump me into a foster home.  The things they did to me were awful. I promised myself everyday that I was going to find that women and kill her and every one in her family until were alone.  Just like me.
