Our girls (Marina)

Chapter 6

"WHERE'S THE LITTLE BRAT" the man shouted going up the stairs. Both girls flinched at the man's voice. These nights were the worst. He had beeen in a bad mood for weeks now and that was never good "You better not be hiding" he said reaching the girls' room, trying to open the door to only find out the door was locked "OPEN THE DOOR" he shouted "ISAID OPEN THE DOOR" Luna quickly grabbed her sister and put her on the closet 

"Stay here, don't go out until I come get you okay?" the older girl said as she looked back to the door hearing how Mr. Smith kicked it. The little blond nodded her head and covered her ears with her hands knowing what was coming "Good, don't make any sounds, I'll be back soon" she finaly said closing the closet door and going to the other side of the room. At least like that she could make sure Mr. Smith wouldn't hurt her baby sister. In one of those kicks the door finally gave in, revealing a completely furious man. The girl took several steps back until there was no more room to walk. The man started walking towards her and he staggered. Luna could smell the smell of that drink that he drank every night with his friends and that made him act strange.

"There you are" he said dragging his words. Luna couldn't remember anything that she could have done that could have made him so mad. She has been in the room all day like she was told to. Suddenly she felt her body began to shake and tears started going down "Stop crying" the man said in an annoyed tone of voice getting closer to the girl. She really tried to hold her tears in but couldn't "SHUT UP" he said taking his belt of "I will give you something to cry about"

The girl woke up sweating and breathing heavily. She instinctively looked to the side only to find Emma sleeping peacefully which made her smile, her sister was safe. Nightmares were an everynight thing at this point. Since they were taken out of Mr Smith's house Luna's nightmares didn't seem to want to leave her alone. It was always the same, she would fall asleep for what it seemed to be a few minutes until a nightmare would kick in. The next thing she knows is she wakes up sweating, feeling like the air isn't enough. After that she isn't able to sleep which lets her exhausted for the rest of the day.   

She grabbed one of the stuffed animals that were on the bed and hugged it close to her chest trying to calm her breathing to go back to sleep. But she couldn't, she could still hear Mr. Smith's screams, she could remember every punishment and every hit she received. Suddenly fear seized her, tears started to go down her cheaks so she looked for the closest place to hide. She grabbed the blanket and crawled under the bed. After some time she felt her eyes get heavy and fell asleep again

The next morning Maya was the first to wake up and as usual went for a short run. When she came back she took a quick shower and when she came out of the bathroom she saw Carina starting to move "Good morning" she said in a low tone 

"Buongiorno bambina" she answered in Italian, standing up "How was your run?" she said going into the bathroom

"Good" the blond said "relaxing" she added making a confused expression appear in the brunette's face  

"Yeah I don't get it" the Italian said making them both laugh "but that's nice I guess" she said as she came out of the bathroom finally grabbing Maya's hips and going for a kiss that quickly got deeper "Good morning" she whispered 

"Good morning"Maya answered whispering as well looking at her wife's eyes and smiling. That moment was interrupted by the blonde's phone making Maya roll her eyes and Carina let out a little chuckle. Maya quickly checked her phone and took a deep breath. Aparentely the station was a bit of a mess

"Everything all right?" the Italian asked seeing her wife's change of attitud

"It's just work" the blond answered "they are all fine" she quickly added to which Carina just nodded
