TRAUMA RETURNS

Chapter two

Suddenly the doors crashed open and police officers charged in looking at me accusingly. I stayed close to the window and held the knife to a gasping lillys throat. "Stay back" i warned at them. "Dont do this" they advised and i nodded. "Sure motherfuckers." I threw her out of my way sending her reeling into a police officer. While someone caught her and she cried by them blocking their view i hauled myself out the window toppling on the ground. I got up and ran as fast i could pounding my feet on the ground as my heart beat in my chest. I heard police officers yelling at me to stop but i kept dashing forward never looking back. I heard footsteps catching up with me and loud sirens from all around me. Suddenly i felt a hand slide on my arm and i flinched pulling away as he grabbed me and shoved me onto the ground. It was a police officer restraining me. He placed cold handcuffs tightly around my wrists and i flinched as the cool metal bit into my soft skin. He was still holding me down and i looked up at him fearfully. "Im sorry please dont" i pleaded not wanting him to do this. "What?" He asked confused getting off me and escorting me to a police car. I realised he wasnt going to do it and relief flooded through me but now they might suspect something."Nothing" i muttered as i was aggressively hauled into a car. "Why am i here?" I screemed as i was tied up in the back of the police car. "Young lady stay calm but you gave been accused of murder. you were seen with the bloody knife and threatened your sisters life. Thats also what your mother and sister told us and you ran away. Based on what we've seen and heard its very likely your responsibly for the murder of that man." he explained. "Some people dont deserve the luxury of living" i hissed knowing full well everything i said would be used against me. "Yes but its not our job to take their life from them" he responded silencing me. "He r***d and abused me so i killed him" i muttered and one police officer spun around in shock. "We dont know whats true and false at the current moment theres no confirmation you will have to await the court trials" the other officer replied proffesionally." I could tell he didnt believe me. He thought i was using a sad story to get less years. Like most phycopaths he probably thought. He didnt know i wasnt acting. Im willing to take a r**e test and show the marks inflicted on me. I have cameras in my house theres no footage but you will likely hear sounds" i had come prepared. I had planned this for a long time and my jail time would be nothing compared to the horrors that man faced in hell. Eventually we reached the destination and i was placed in junivile prison. "You have to wait until your trial" the man told me and i nodded curtely. I turned around to see my jail mate. She had curly dark hair and piercing blue eyes. Her skin had a dark olive tone to it. She looked like she was from pakistan. She also looked tough as hell. "Who the f**k are you?" I asked and she came closer to me and i saw her small frame. "Im f*****g pansy" she grinned. I could tell she had a attitude on her and wasn't to be messed with but thats why i was interested in her."You?" She questioned giving me a nasty glare."aurora girl and I think were gonna be great friends" i raised an eyebrow awaiting a response. "We share an opinion with that one. Im stuck here until eighteen for armed Robery" she said. "By the way we have another roomate too shes soft" pansy added. Suddenly a dark skinned girl walked in. She had brown eyes and brown hair. She was average sized but had an adorable smile. "How did she get in jail?" I asked. "Told ya" pansy commented. "I killed someone claimed it was an accident. Im here until eighteen so they sent me here to people who had similar sentences" she shrugged her shoulder propping herself on the bed carlessly throwing her hair back. She was that type of person who just didnt care. Me and pansy gaped visibly shocked "You were saying" i turned to pansy. "Im taking that back shes a bad b***h" she remarked making us both laugh. "My names ruby by the way" Ruby explained and i stared at my two jail mates hapily. I was happy with them. "What are you here for" ruby turned to me. "Killed a r****t and a abuser towards me" i said reculantly. "Well deserved though." Pansy stretched in and gave me a hug. "Reckon you'll get no over bout ten years just act well" ruby spoke joining the hug. "So how did yall react when police came after you. I ran fast" ruby asked. "I kinda attacked the person next to me and threatened the police" pansy smirked. "I did both" i opened up earning a whistle from ruby. Well thats badass pansy winked as i laughed. Throughout the weeks me pansy and ruby grew inseparable. We became closer and closer. I chatted with pansy and ruby giggling and playing stupid games. We were troubled but we were only children. I dont know what happened with our lives that made us do this but it happened. Suddenly the peephole to our door opened. "Miss aurora is required to open her hands peacefully so we can restrain her. Her court trial has been declared" the police woman said. Me and my friends sat their wide eyed with shock when their expressions became worried. "Remember we love you" pansy started. "And we want whats best for you ruby added. "Be f*****g careful" they both yelled at the same time earning a scold from the security. "Always" i smirked widely showing my arms to the police woman known as sam who held them together and popped handcuffs on. The familiar burning sensation came back and i frowned as i was dragged off while being eyed warily. "So sammy how ya doing" i asked politely. "I hope they give you a life sentence" she smirked making me go pale. I stayed still for a second before i responded with a witty come back. "And i wish you got fired both of those are never gonna happen" i grinned carlessly cooly looking over my shoulder to see her scowling. I was dragged into a room and escorted by at least ten police people. I was sat down and still all the police officers stood up by me daring me to do something. "Im flattered" i commented as the judge walked into the room. Over the course of the last few weeks they had gathered alot of evidence which i had provided them with. They knew everything. Suddenly I realised that the judge was a man. " i refuse to sit this trial do you know what i have been through and you bring him into this room" i screemed. " i am not going to sit here and discuss things ive been through with someone that doesnt understand me" i yelled. "Then you will be sentenced to the maximum time" the judge remarked feeling offended. "What the actucal fu-" i started before i was cut off by sam. "Stay proffesional" sam scolded me before adressing the judge. "Shes a child she deserves to feel comfortable after all shes been through. We need to get correct answers having you here does not enforce that" sam smartly replied. I heard a few murmers of agreement in the room and i sighed in relief as eventually after continuous bickering he left looking for another available female judge. I looked over in suprise to sam who i thought hated me. Why did she have my back there? "Look aurora lets just say i understand" she said seeing my confused look. I gaped as i processed what she was saying. She had been r***d too. It felt amazing knowing i wasnt alone and without thinking I reached over and hugged her tightly. The police around me looked suspiciously but sam shook them off. "Look i know you may see me as an monster or a murderer but i didnt mean any of this. I know theres no exuse but you know" i whispered. I didnt want to be seen like i was evil because i genuinely wasn't. I had no idea about life right now but one thing I knew was I shouldn't have done that and although i dont regret it i was lucky i was going juivinile. "When i look at you i see a mistreated child who was broken. Deep down your good and never let anyone tell you anything different. Your amazing always remember that" she smiled as i looked up at her with shining eyes because i would remember those words forever. I may be in one of the worst places in the world but i met the first people who care and that meant the world to me. "Thanks" i mumbled shrugging it off. She rolled her eyes at my attemp to change the conversation but got the hint. "What shall i say" i asked. "Tell the truth seem upset and remoresful. Dont lie or theres extra years" sam advised and i nodded. After about half an hour a female judge walked in. She set down some files before siting down. "Aurora brown am i right" the judge questioned and i nodded making her begin. "You are charged of third degree murder which could lead to a life sentence or potentially death penalty" "objection your honour. Shes only twelve years of age and openly confesses to having made a mistake. There is proof of her being r***d and abused by her dad causing her to make these decisions because of the trauma." my lawers defended me. "Can i have evidence of these accusations" the judge asked and a policeman handed her my r**e kit and marks all over my body. He also handed footage of the sounds of my screams and his sounds of pleasure. I grimanced and looked down when she played the clip getting reminders of him ontop of me. I begged him to stop everyone heard my pleads which turned into screams. Every night for seven years. He did it because my mother had problems down their making her unable to do it. I shut my eyes trying to push back the flashbacks. Her eyes widened at the footage but she remained stotic and professional. "Shes young and what they did to her is... inhuman but her way of resolving things was not acceptable" "but would you agree a life sentence is not a nececity" my lawyer asked. "No i do not according to her circumstances but usually those her age will stay untill eighteen but this is serious" " objection-" After so long of talking and debating my sentence over and over as i sat completely helpless hoping my lawyer could help me get out of this it was finally my turn. "What do you have to say for yourself miss brown?" "Umm okay so i agree what i did was wrong and not necessary and i apologise massively. I take full accountability for my actions. I am responsible but the life i took was not a good one. He was evil. He was a child abuser and a r****t and he made me do this. I felt so alone and i had no idea what to do each time it happened so i just killed him. I didnt think but i knew i wanted all the pain to end and it seemed like the only resolution. I was suicidal for a long time and i was broken in the inside. Once again im sorry for what i did but you didnt know what it felt like" i sniffled acting really upset. The judge nodded and cleared her throat. "You have been charged with manslaughter and third degree intentional murder aswell as running from the police and threatening more lives. Due to your circumstances the time served has been lowered significantly. I have concluded that you will serve six years in prison until your eighteen. Thank you for your time" the judge announced and i sighed. I could see it coming. It wasn't shocking that i had to stay for six years and i knew deep down my lawyer saved me. It still hurt that i was here but i killed someone and i has to face the consequences. "NO" i yelled "I dont f*****g deserve this you b***h" i screemed angrily trying to pry the officers hands off me. I flipped everyone off as i was dragged roughly back to my cell. "So?" Pansy asked as Ruby stayed quiet not wanting to touch a sensitive subject. "6 years" i replied and they cheered as they realised we would come out at the same time. I gave them a half smile and i rested my head against the prison walls thinking about everything that happened in my life so far.
