A Short Story : The Story Of A Girl : A Story?

At the end of the hall there was an airy sound of a flute reverberating from Gretchen’s room. The door was open. On the opposite side of the hallway was a rack holding a rainbow of dresses. She paraded in and out of the room carrying different colored fabrics.

Oh my- “ I croaked out “What?” “Do you see...the man walking..towards us?” I gulped “No where- OH MY GOODNESS...RUN! She yelled.

“You’re a monster!” She screamed at him.’’You’re a monster!” She repeated as she was backing away from him.

“Dad!! Stop your hurting mom! Dad stop get off of her!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.

The teacher hurried to the door and took out her keys and began to shuffle with them, not able to find the right one. The children slightly bounced on the balls of the their feet, anxiously waiting for the door to be open. Once the teacher got ahold of the right key, she shoved it into the door and sighed with relief when she pulled it open. The door was unlocked and Margot was freed.

“Marcus,” the young boy with dark hair answers. He enters through the hole and takes a protective stance over his unconscious mother. His scarlet eyes are aflame. “You will not hurt her, no more!”

Madeline stopped dead in her tracks when she saw that Gabriel’s things were gone from the room when she returned. Had he left her? She shook her head, trying to calm her anxious heart. Gabriel didn’t seem like the type that would just up and leave because she was uncertain about what she wanted. It seemed more likely that he had just moved to a different room.

Everything began that night with the ringtone of my phone, echoing through my dining room.

into her. Capri popped the cork off the champagne bottle, and it ‘accidentally’ sprayed down over her front. The bubbly wine shot all over her, white and frothy.

I knew this was it, nothing else matter. I felt out of my body in this moment. The water turn on by itself. The water was the most beautiful thing I have seen in so long. Nothing could compare to the release the water will bring me. The way I will feel no more pain, because the water came me the release I’ve been craving. I lower myself into the tub. I lay down and took my last breath of air. I then submerged my head into the water.

I’ve trained with father until I was 20. I’ve matured over the years and stopped caring. Father put his hand on my shoulder and nodded. I was dressed as if I was made out of money. I grabbed my katana and flintlock pistol then put my katana on the sheath thats on my back and put my pistol in its sheath thas on my belt. I stared at the knife that mother gave me before I left and put it in my pocket carefully. I had enough gold for the travel. This boon will serve me well. Father looked at me and grinned. I never saw father smile before but ever since I was in training he did. I never cared, I just looked away and sighed. “ You made me proud, son.. “Now. Lets go to D.C” That was the first time i’ve ever heard those words come out of someones mouth except mothers. I didn’t care. We went to “ Meredith and Jonathan Guidry's carriage and trading post”.. Same place I used to work at before.. Traveling was 20 miles to go over there and it took 12 hours on foot. Jonathan ran to me in surprisement and Meredith hugs me with joy while I keep a straight face. “ What happened to you??? It’s been 4 years!” Jonathan said worriedly, “and who’s this?” He looked at father. I kept silent. Father spoken for me,” Sorry that I we’d come in such horrid circumstances but I shall introduce myself.. I am Valaris Smith.. Father of Thomas Smith…. And husband of-” A little girl, that's possibly 4, ran by giggling with two other boys chasing after her, both being the same age. She and the boys ran to

As the young woman clung to the picture a single tear rolled down her cheek. She could not believe that it had been 363 days, 4 hours and 7 minutes since the day. As she walked downstairs and plopped down on the couch covered with dust, she smelled the sharp stench of alcohol. Of course, her mom had her morning 5 shots of vodka mixed with, you don’t even want to know.

The sky was full of grey clouds, the rain hitting the window of the hospital room that two parents were in. They both smiled at their newborn baby girl. The baby’s mother brushed her fingers against her soft milky cheeks, it was then that they knew her name was destined to be Alex. Alex lee linden, she was a special baby girl, and her mother knew it. There was something about her that made the rain filled sky turn into a sunny cloudless morning, she would change the world one day.

“Calm down and let me tell you why he can’t help us. Richard is not a criminal lawyer, and he said that is what we needed. He has a friend who is a criminal lawyer; I hired him to defend you. When I leave here, I’m meeting with a bail bondsman, and you’ll go home tonight.”

They woke him, woke him like she told them too. She could hear him , hear him in the other room, talking gibberish like he had before Caitlin put him to sleep back at CCPD. Her heart sunk a little, what was she expecting? She was expecting to find the man she was to marry, but instead it was the one that talked gibberish. It was still her Barry, just different she knew this. It just hurt her, frustrated her that she couldn’t understand what he was talking about. She was trying too, she really was it was just hard. She knew that his gibberish had to mean something but what, what did it mean, she needed to figure out, so she could help him. She placed her hands on her hips, head shaking back and forth “You can do this Iris, you have to do this… Barry needs you.” She told herself a few time, yet she didn’t move. She stayed put, staring at the door. It was only a brief walk she had to make until she was standing in the room with Barry, her Barry, yet it seemed like a mile. Why? She wanted to see him, she wanted to wrap her arms around him and smother him in kisses to make up for the time she lost with him. But fear kept her feet frozen to the ground. She dared not move, not yet anyway.
