Hunter

And the raindrops tell a story....
Let me stay
Where the monsters come invited.... Mo< She moved quickly, every now and again making sure that Kangee was right behind her. She couldn't be there anymore. Near people. Near Shasta. She couldn't hide her emotions, not after.... After. More tears streamed down her cheeks, and a sob escaped her. She found a log, a lonely pathetic log in the middle of the prarie, and she sat down. Kangee.... You hungry, baby? She dug into her backpack, and pulled out a sandwich. Come here, honey. Lets get you some breakfast. Her voice sounded a bit strangled from her tears. When suddenly..... She was back there.

She could see her mother standing in the kitchen, her back to her. I can't do this anymore, Hunter. She said. She was angry. That was nothing new. As always, Hunter remained silent. Like she was supposed to. If she was quiet, the yelling would stop. I'm sending you to go live with your dad. Anger. Thats the first emotion felt was anger. She nearly screamed. Nearly. Fine. Cold. Flat. Emotionless. Just like she was taught.

Three months later, she was at her dads house. Already she knew what was coming. Three nights later, the first man came. Daddy always sold her for drugs. After three weeks.... She couldn't take it anymore. She sold her truck. She sold her horse. She set free her dog, because she couldn't keep him. Not now. Now.... Here she was.

Hunter looked up to Kangee. Am I really that worthless, baby? She whispered to him. Did anyone even care about her? Was Shasta just faking it? She sighed. She didn't know what to do. She tossed the rest of the sandwhich to him, because she couldn't eat. Her ribs were showing through her skin, but she didn't mind. No one knew. No one. No one knew why there were scars littering her body. She lied. Accidents. Intetional accidents.

Kangee

Kangee followed his master closely, looking up at her carefully. Something was bothering her. He knew it. Only after she sat down did he begin to wag his tail, in an attempt to cheer her up. He whined softly at her as if to say, "What's wrong?" But he sat down and began eating the sandwich.

Hunter

Tears were slipping down her face, andshe held out her hand to Kangee. Her 'son'. She thought of weird things, but she loved Kangee. He didn't judge her....
