I took some pictures of the Skeleton. And soon, I heard Ana coming downstairs, She seemed scared.72Please respect copyright.PENANAC4NoQCL4qC
"They're home.." She said as she hugged me. 72Please respect copyright.PENANA7LpEkDaxzE
"Ana, I want you to run into your room, and lock the door, Barricade yourself inside of it, And no matter what, No matter who tries to get you out... no matter what your mother does, Stay in your room, The police should be here soon. But until then, I will defend you, you have my word."72Please respect copyright.PENANAxh1SKjoczq
I smiled, and I gave Ana my Raptor claw necklace. It was my good luck charm, Something that I wore when I met Socks, and something I got when my painting was put into a museum. It was something that gave me good luck, and at this point, Ana needed it more than me.72Please respect copyright.PENANA1u8YjLsiGF
72Please respect copyright.PENANAMWpd8xKJfQ
Ana went up into her room, and I dialed 911, and Dahlia answered. "I got all the proof you could ever need... NOW GET THE FUCK OVER HERE! BEFORE I KILL THE BOTH OF THEM!" 72Please respect copyright.PENANAhz29Ysug6N
Dahlia stuttered. "We'll be there soon. Keep them outside, don't let them get to Ana, you hear me, We're going to come there as quick as we can."72Please respect copyright.PENANAtXB4ZytfS4
I hung up, clearly they were taking their sweet time.. I went to the front door. And I unlocked it for them. "welcome home."72Please respect copyright.PENANAZlhaepBhj7
Ricky looked at me. He seemed to feel sorry for me. "Dust, you should leave... Beth has had a rough night, and you don't wanna get in on that... believe me.." Ricky said as he pulled out a stack of 20 dollar bills. Doing some math in my head, that would have been 2,000 bones. I could have bought a decent car with that.72Please respect copyright.PENANAnzZW4BdiQt
"I don't want your money, I want you two to stop abusing Ana." I stepped into the house. "Now, I want a reason... why does Beth think it's funny to beat up her own little girl?" 72Please respect copyright.PENANApoyX0htdf9
"Just go.... Dust... she has a Gun, leave while you can.." Ricky pleaded, and soon I approached him, and I punched him. Knocking him to the ground. I didn't know what overtook me, but I knew Ricky was just as responsible for Ana's Suffering as his wife, he was a bystander... A spectator to the abuse, A willing participant to the pain his daughter withstood. 72Please respect copyright.PENANAjzBmwRC53x
I remembered something.. My own childhood. I soon saw my father's face in Ricky's. His Brown hair and eyes turning into the gray hair and cruel Steely gray eyes, I could remember being raped. I could remember him calling me a Faggot, a monster, a freak, a mistake. I remembered how I finally worked up the courage to stand up to him when I turned 18. He was on top of me, tearing my clothes off. I remember how he was drunk, and high. I remember how I fought him. Breaking his bones, with random objects. Before leaving him comatose. I remembered after I was done, I was homeless, living in parks, mostly under bridges, Then I met her, I forget her name, but she helped me.. 72Please respect copyright.PENANACkZ78JEi89
I picked up Ricky, and I held him by his throat. I looked at his eyes, and I began to squeeze. I wanted to strangle him. But soon, I met Mrs Hewitt.72Please respect copyright.PENANA9bSDhsrr3m
"Drop my husband." She said as she pointed a handgun at me. I decided to drop her husband, and I ran at her. Unsheathing my claws.72Please respect copyright.PENANA7RB3JPIrgA
"YOU BITCH! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" I screamed as I charged at her, I could hear police sirens. I didn't care anymore, anger over took me, But Beth was smarter. She pulled the trigger. I thought I heard someone yell "DUST STOP!" So I assumed at first that Dahlia shot me, but as I looked at Beth. Her revolver had smoke coming out of the barrel. A literal smoking gun. I looked at Beth, and I thought I saw my mother. When she left me. With him. 72Please respect copyright.PENANAo7I7WLNIX9
"Why mum..." I muttered as I fell to the ground. I blacked out, and I swear... I saw her go into Ana's room, and shoot Ana..72Please respect copyright.PENANAQQgIDnEAOb
(Dahlia's P.O.V)72Please respect copyright.PENANANxtEVptTsZ
"Bethany Hewitt. You are under arrest." I yelled as I pointed my gun at her, she didn't respond. She went into her house. I went in after her. I knew that Dust had all of the evidence that the Greenfield Police Department needed to put Beth and Ricardo behind bars for the rest of their pathetic lives. Beth went upstairs, and she went to a room at the end of the hallway. Ana's room.72Please respect copyright.PENANAkP6BJswmqz
"Freeze.. Let me see your hands." I said as I approached Beth. She was in an erratic state of mind. I didn't see Ricardo behind me. But he grabbed a decorative knife from off of a desk. And he held it to my throat72Please respect copyright.PENANAJmRo7EeTOd
"I've got her Beth..." Ricardo said nervously.72Please respect copyright.PENANAnJf3Q3kGPx
Beth smiled with her fake Plastic smile. Everything about her was fake. "Now officer, can you talk our daughter out of coming out of her room." Beth said, pointing her gun at my head. I wasn't having it.72Please respect copyright.PENANAiZJKRIFQZG
"Fuck you..."72Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6J2dnRshW
Beth smiled, and she pistol whipped me across the mouth. Ricardo stabbed me in the stomach, tearing the Bullet proof vest in the process. "You are only delaying me.. I have no patience for such nonsense."72Please respect copyright.PENANAAsImJGJL2G
I looked at her. "Why do you want to hurt her... she's just a kid.." I asked. 72Please respect copyright.PENANAEygX68ZYUz
She pistol whipped me again, leaving my vision blurry.72Please respect copyright.PENANAKc5kZ9EqHv
"She is a pest. A burden, a mistake.." 72Please respect copyright.PENANAZGlZv6WDAV
I was bleeding, and I didn't know if the other officers were coming, but I decided to call for help. I grabbed my radio. "Code 30.." Little did they know that I was calling for help.72Please respect copyright.PENANAEo5nLkcQKs
"I didn't want kids.. but Ricardo refused to pull out one night, and nine months later, we were cursed with Ana.. our pest, many nights we spent with her. Crying, and soon, we realized we couldn't escape her. So we accepted our duties as parents." Beth said as she took a look at my radio. She wasn't fooled. "They won't stop me.. you can't stop me.."72Please respect copyright.PENANACn8I2DtLE1
I smiled."Think again." 72Please respect copyright.PENANAShg6DW83p0
A few other officers came upstairs, and then. Beth made a ballsy move, she tried to shoot herself, Not on my watch. I kicked Ricardo in the crotch, and I tackled Beth, Holding her down. 72Please respect copyright.PENANADPfmt3EVwU
"Bethany Hewitt. You're under arrest for Child abuse, Murder, attempted murder, and assault on an officer." I said before I read off her rights, putting handcuffs on her. Ricardo was already in cuffs by the time I was done with Beth. When the officers were leading Beth and Ricardo to their cars, I knocked on Ana's door. "Ana... I'm with Dust... Can you open the door for me?" 72Please respect copyright.PENANAos2geU5voz
I heard a shelf being moved, then the bedroom door opened, and I saw Ana. The poor kid. She was covered in Bruises and Cuts, scrapes, burns. It broke my heart.72Please respect copyright.PENANAjVk22ctSlb
"Get yourself some clothes... I'm going to get you somewhere safe." I said as I got down to Ana's eye level. "She can't hurt you anymore."72Please respect copyright.PENANAIXKBtJusMc
Soon, Ana packed up a backpack with some of her clothes and some of her toys. I led her outside, where her parents were already on their way to jail. Dust was in the hospital. I looked at the scene around me. There was a Forensics team out. There were apparently more bodies.72Please respect copyright.PENANAvGSKApb5U9
"Where are you taking me?" Ana asked. "Mama told me about foster homes...."72Please respect copyright.PENANAUZIIMXXzbw
I looked at Ana. "I'm taking custody of you.. Meaning You're coming home with me." I said as I lead Ana to my Car. And I drove to my house, which was nicer looking than her parents house.. 72Please respect copyright.PENANA51nGr6GwWh
I led Ana into my house, and I shut the door, and I led her into my guest room, she asked me where Dust was. "He's getting patched up... he's going to be okay, now get some sleep honey.. I promise that you're going to be safer here." I said as I handed Ana a plushie I had from my first job, A Cindy the cat plushie.72Please respect copyright.PENANA89wZwY2OZJ
I tucked Ana into bed, and I turned out the lights. Before I went to my room, and I went to lay down on my bed, I didn't turn out the lights. I needed to sleep, Tomorrow I had to figure out what the hell I would do to keep Ana happy.72Please respect copyright.PENANAw2DV3T44P5

A few months after the incident, Dahlia adopted Ana. She quit working for the Greenville police Department, after an incident in a high school, where a little girl killed her classmates. For reasons I can't explain, Dahlia said it was because the officers in her unit treated her horribly. I knew that was a bullshit answer. In Reality, it was because the other officers didn't come and help her with the attacker. 72Please respect copyright.PENANANYG0UQWc2P
Now Dahlia works at a Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. She tries to bring Ana there as often as she can.72Please respect copyright.PENANAFxpB6HdYge
Ana's Parents were put in Prison, they got the death penalty. They were held in the same cell oddly enough.72Please respect copyright.PENANA12hGoMTOGn
As for me, I got a new job, A well paying job as a night janitor at the Mega pizzaplex in Smithfield. It pays well. 2000 dollars a week, with health and paid vacations.. it's a good gig.72Please respect copyright.PENANAMbHVqTvttp
So until next time,72Please respect copyright.PENANAnYV2ul5LGK
