The Black Butterfly - Author: Izabella Hunt (poetry books to read .TXT) 📗

the clanking of heals.Was it our mother?We laid back down and closed our eyes waiting.Then the noise stopped right at our door, we herd heavy breathing.and then a YANK on the covers!Me and keoka looked up and saw our mother holding Shannah.We all yell'd "HELP!" the man from the car earlier came into our room and yanked Shannah from our mom, and said "Hey little girl,be careful or else i might just hurt you". Then our mother the man and Shannah left the room,this time with our door shut.Keoka and I stared at the door with fear.Then a Scream a loud scream, a Shannah scream filed the house.We shook in fear, our Mother Burst into our room and said "Give me the blue ball, NOW!".Keoka moved out of the way and i pulled up the covers and took the ball out of the floor.our mother looked at it then whispered "Its not purple, i chose Shanna for the black butterfly stamp".Keoka and i looked at the ball, their was no purple stamp on it only a black butterfly.As soon as our mother left the room, we held each other and cried our selves to sleep.We woke to another scream not of Shannah but of the man.Keoka whispered "is the window unlocked?" I looked at it and said back "Im not sure". Keoka and i stood and walked to the window i pulled up on it and it opened.Keoka turned to me the moon light on her face of fear and said "we jump and run,we run to the closest house, and ask to use their phone."
The lies of the purple Butterfly

"Okay, but you have to jump first"i said while looking out the window.Keoka said "Ok" climbed on the ledge then jumped silently to the ground.Then i jumped also,we ran.
The shady lights of a car was far ahead us but we knew it would be where we are in no time, so we ran into a soybean field and dunked down and waited.Seconds later a tow truck drove by slowly, then stopped right ahead from where we were hiding.Out of it stepped a chubby man probably 5'7, we knew right away from seeing his face he was related to the other "man"
We closed our eyes and went down lower to the ground,Then their was the sound of the truck starting.Keoka looked up and said "hes not in the truck or even around it?" I looked up also and said "Where is he then?". A cold hands touched our shoulders, keoka looked at me and i looked at her then the hands let go, I saw the hand wrap around to keoka's face with a cloth and pressed it on her face, as the hand did to me.

I woke as if from a dream keoka beside me and Shannah on the other side of me. but the dream had a kind of fade on it, like the ones with the unknown parts the parts left as a puzzle to be solved. I shook Keoka awake and asked her "did you dream?" she sat up with sleepy eyes and said "No". I turned to Shannah and shook her awake and asked "Shannah did you dream?" Shannah sat up and said "No Casey i didn't" then turned over on her belly and on the black of her neck a tattoo of a black butterfly.
