Dash In The Sky(New Version)

Chapter 5

I lift the stone higher when he tried to come closer, he then stepped back.

"Marian, just put down the stone" he coaxed

"No!"
I felt insane and crazy like I had taken drugs. I was losing my sanity.

"I'm sorry. Just put the stone down"

"No!"

"Please, put it down" he stepped forward.

I raised the stone higher in the air threatening to throw it. He stepped back.

"Alright, I'll move" he said stepping back, further and further away from me.

The more he stepped back the more I lowered the stone.
Once I believed he was further away enough I dropped the stone and took a run for it.

I ran the fastest I could to the camp completely scared out if my mind. I continued running until, I saw the camp and didn't stop until I saw my father.

He saw me and looked completely shocked. I ran into his arms and he embraced me. I never felt safer.
I closed my eyes as tears streamed down cheeks.

I couldn't gather myself and I was slowly losing it.

He stroked my hair gently as i sobbed on his chest.

"What's wrong?" He finally asked

"Ca... Carr.... Carl.... Carlton" was all I could sob.

My father then tensed.

"What did he do?"
I could tell he was on the verge of losing his temper.

I decided to say the only word, action and thought on my mind,

"Rape"

My father pulled away from me and looked me in the eye with pure rage.

"He did what!?"

"He tried to...rape...me" I stuttered.

My father looked bewildered. His dark eyes seemed to get darker.

"Where is he?"

"Some where out there" I pointed at the direction I came from.

"Go to your mother. I'll be right back"
With that he walked to his tent and took up his shot gun and walked to where I pointed.

I had no idea where my mother was, so I went to my tent.
I got in and laid down on my sleeping bag. For a few moments I looked at the roof of the tent. I then sat up and hugged myself in a fetal position and rocked back and forth.

I had no idea how long sat I there staring into space but I soon heard a gunshot in the distance. Then another then another.

I hope he is killing him.

I continued rocking until I saw Marion walk in.

Pity was all over his face and i rolled my eyes in disgust.

"Don't you listen to me!?" I screamed at him

"Yes, I listen to you, sis"

"Then stop looking at me with pity!" I shouted and got up "I don't need your pity" and i stormed out.

He followed behind me.

"Marian!"

I spun around,

"What?!"

"Will you ever stop acting this way?" He asked calmly.

"Not until you stop looking at me like that!"
