• Tears rippled down my cheeks in agony, dripping onto the floor, splattering into millions of peices, my heart followed it's painful action. The hot tears hovered on my chin, building up to fall once more. In a slow motion reaction i lifted my sore arm to swipe them away.
    "NO!" He bellowed in the living room. My throat closed and my fist balled. Nails digging roughly. She whimpered like a frightened puppy. My mind whizzed, thought of some many things that i could do to him.
    "Please...please...please..." She whimpered quietly. Whispers that only could be heard by my vivid ears that heard her every thought.
    Why wasn't i moving?
    Why wasn't i stopping the b*****d?
    My heart beat at a radical speed, sending tremors shuddering through my body. Suddenly i was up and in the living room. He paused a moment than grinned wickedly.
    "What the hell are you doing out here you little brat? You wanna watch your Mama die?" He smiled again and threw back his angry fist. I crouched and in the same moment sprung, attacking him with my incredible strengh, he flew back into the far wall, sprawled on the rubble. He groaned. Mama burst into tears of pain, relief...
    "I-- I'm sorry Mama... I'm so sorry." Her thoughts read nothing, neither did her face, it just stared, blank and unbelieving. Tears streamed relentlessly down my cheek as I stood. I gently put my hand out to her, but she did nothing. Just sat staring.

    She sat staring. Unable to speak, unable to even think.
    "Mom... Please... Saying something... I'm sorry."
    She shook her head slowly, then viciously, her hair flying terrifyingly around her head. Her lips moved, saying yet nothing. I put my cold hands to her face and stopped her in an instant.
    "Please... Stop." Her eyes looked in plead into mine.
    He grunted.
    My fists balled once more.
    Ma's eyes dialated, she gasped. I felt her pain, but was afraid to terrify her more. His heart beat slowly.
    Thump...thump...thump....... then it stopped. She didn't know, but I surely did and there would be no need to charge again. Ma glanced at me, her eyes screamed so many emotions I could even pin-point some of them.
    "Who--" She swallowed "Who are you?" She shook her head.
    "What are you?" If i had a beating heart, it would fall in bloody peices on the floor. I could never tell her what i was, but i felt i had to. Though I would be killing her, so i held the vomit of truth back.
    "I-- can't explain, let alone tell you. Ma, I want you to live. I won't let him" I growled low in my throat "kill you." A small tear filled her eye and rolled slowly down her black cheek.

    Thirst washed over me as I thought of the corpse now lying in the ruble, concentrating on Mama was hard.
    "Mama..." I crouched down to her level, she cringed, moving back away from me, like I was a monster.
    Maybe I was.
    "Please don't... I can leave. If I'm... hurting you. I just want to help you."
    I waited for her shocked expression, her blank thoughts, but suddenly, her thoughts whirred, almost too fast to decipher. Not just words, but emotions, feelings, songs, images... Things so gory it hurt even my thoughts. I shut my eyes tight. I stood and turned, eyes still shut I led myself to the door, slowly so as not to destroy her anymore. I heard her raspy breathing, slow heartbeats echoing a throughout the room. She swallowed, it increased my thirst, my throat screamed. I almost turned and ended her their, but held myself in place.
    "I love you, sweetie. Ebony. Ebony please look at me." I snapped around to look. She jumped and swallowed.
    "I love you... But maybe..." A tear rolled. "You should go." She nodded.
    "It's time." Her raspy voice echoed everywhere in my brain, throughouth even the minor concaves.
    And with the words cussing and screaming at my very soul I shot away from everything I ever loved and hated. Running so fast, I was almost flying.
    Flying away.
