I let out a giant groan. My head feels like it exploded. I go to put my hand to my head but my hand is restrained.

I shot my eyes open. I look down and see I'm tied to a chair. I look at my surroundings. It looks like I'm in some type of warehouse.

I hear a door open behind me. I feel someone's presence behind me. Brian walks in so I can see him. He stands a few feet in front of me.

I start struggling against the restraints trying to get to him. "Unite her," he commands.

Two buff guys come and untie me. Once I'm free I bounce up out of the chair. I stalk towards him. "You son of a bi-!" he interrupts me.

"Ah ah ah," he says waving his pointer finger at me.

I stop dead in my tracks. "I wouldn't do that if I was you. Bring him in," he calls for someone.

Two men walk in holding Edmund. When I look closer I see that he is crying.

I run towards him. Both the guys take a couple step backs. I drop down and grab his face in between my hands.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you? I swear to God if they did I will murder them!" I tell him.

"Th-they didn't hur-t me," he says in between sobs.

"Then what happened?" I ask.

"Nana, Nana's dead," he explains. I gasp.

(flashback)

I was in my room, sitting on my bed crying. It was after the first time they hit me. My cheeks still stung from the slaps.

I heard a light knock. I rubbed my nose. "Come in," I called softly.

I heard my door open. I looked up and found Nana coming towards me. She sat down beside me. She pulled me into a big hug.

"Its going to be okay. Just wait and see," she cooed into my ear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was in the living room. Mother and father were yelling at me. "You little b*tch! You should've been more careful. Now we f*cking have to take you out of f*cking school," my mother screamed at me.

They had to pull me out of school because teacher were getting suspicious of me showing up with cuts and bruises.

Father went up to me and punched me square in the nose. I heard a large crack. I felt blood trickle down my face.

"You're a disgrace to this family. I don't even know why we had you," my father states. They walked out of the room.

I didn't know why they had me either.

Nana's walked in and sat infront of me. "I know how much school meant to you. How about I teach you?" she asked. I looked up at her and hugged her.

"I'll take that as a yes," she laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I looked down at my newborn baby brother in my arms. He was fast asleep.

"Good. It's a boy. That means he will join our family business," my father states.

I couldn't let them ruin this child. I'd had to try to protect this child.

"Edmund," my mother said reaching into her purse.

"What?" my father asked confused.

"Edmund. That's his name," she took out a cigarette and lighter.

"Why?" he questioned.

"That's the name of the guy who created my favorite liquor," she blew out a puff of smoke.

Nana went and sat beside me. She looked down at Edmund and smiled. I knew we were going to raise him.

Edmund. An amazing name

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked into the bathroom. I sat down on the toilet.  I couldn't take it anymore.

All the abuse was getting too much for me. I looked through a drawer until I finally found what I wanted. A razor.

I take the blade out. I turned it around my fingers. I pressed it up against my wrist.

The door flew open. There stood Nana with Edmund in her hands. She put Edmund on the counter. She bent down and hugged me.

I started bawling my eyes out. "Nana, what wong wit Ameyst?" Edmund asked.

I started crying even harder. Edmund crawls down and started hugging us too.

(end of dream)

I fall down onto my knees. The two guys bring Edmund back out. Brian squats down in fornt of me.

"I guess I won," Brian states.

Sup! I have started writing a new book. It's called Ramen. You should go check it out.

The song up above is called Rainbow by Ke$ha. I think it relates to this chapter.
