Who's Afraid?

She tried to believe him, he seemed honest, but it was hard to trust. At the moment, it seemed that either A) He was actually going to kill her stepfather rather than her or B) Want to kill them both. Well, even if I'm going down, he's coming too she thought with an evil snarl. She knelt to the ground to look injured, which she was, and screamed as if she were in pain.

The man thrust his car through the yard, tearing up the grass as he turned his high beams on. At the edge of the forest he hopped out and slung his gun over his back, "Delilah! I swear, if you don't come out this instant, I'll have your hide!"
She humored him by letting out another scream, "No! Not again!" she plead, crawling through the brush to give him an idea of where she was at.
He stumbled after her and shook his fist, "You brat! Why I outta beat you silly!" he caught a glimpse of the girl lying pitifully on the ground. In his inebriated state he plundered after her outline, "You'll be grounded for a year!" he headed in her direction.
Delilah turned to see him stumbling strait for her, like some kind of zombie. If the wolf-thing doesn't act, I might be able to trick him well enough in his drunken state... she thought to herself while eyeing the strange, furry company.

Striders gonna stride.

Who's Afraid?

Delilah let out a squeak before the hand-paw covered her mouth. She didn't know who this guy was, or if she was sure she wanted her stepdad dead, but if he left she might be able to slip by...
Mid-thought, the moonlight shone through the trees, revealing his face. It was a crooked mixture of nightmares and canines, one that caused her heart to thud inside of her chest. This night was absolutely horrifying, and quite possibly the worst one yet.
She just nodded, eyes wide, and gulped down her seemingly thick saliva.

Probably in a couple hours to tomorrow :)

Who's Afraid?

She made her original goal-passing the treeline. Although in the grand scheme, it wasn't much, she saw it as a large feat. Panting, she stood again to catch her breath easier while still being able to work her way through. She pressed on with one goal in mind: Get away from him.

Meanwhile, Delilah's stepdad was doing exactly as she thought. Her mom fussed, finally standing up after it was too late, when she saw the gun,
"I ain't gonna shoot her, it's to ward off anythin' that's comin' after her" he assured her mother. He climbed up in his truck and turned over the engine after a few tries.

Who's Afraid?

Delilah groaned at the throbbing in her foot, but she had made it this far, it would be stupid to turn back over a sprained ankle. She hobbled out behind the house, making steadfastly toward the treeline when a light flooded the area. Someone had turned on the outside house light, regardless of who it was, she couldn't be seen by them. She dropped to her hands and knees and then to her elbows, doing a type of army crawl toward the woods. If she could just make it into the thicket, into the masking of the trees...
"Anybody out here?" she heard the gruff, slurred voice call out. Her stepdad. This only urged her to press on faster, she struggled to keep her silence. "Alright..." he headed back in, but left the light on. She was about halfway there when she saw her sister's room light flick on. At this point, she was practically running through the ground, the sweat and pain building inside her. She had to make it, just a little farther...

Her room light flickered on. In a moment's decision, she halted and lay flat and unmoving in such a way that she could pass for a log. She saw a shadow appear in the square of light out from her, "Dammit!" the shadow moved away quickly, "Meredith, Delilah has done gone and ran away!" he stomped through the house. She knew for sure he was headed to grab his gun, boots, and possibly truck. Once she checked the window once again, she bolted, scrambling on however many places over her body would will her forward. She knew that now it was serious, and deadly.

Emma is accepted! ^_^

Who's Afraid?

At the end of a tough working day, Delilah finally goes to her room. She pretends to sleep, just closing her eyes and using her heartbeat to keep track of time. After long, grueling minutes, she slips out of bed. In the silent of the night she packs a satchel of clothes for a week and a water bottle. Her house, though, is a two-story one. How she curses this. Delilah weighs the options: risk her life making a rope out of sheets, or risk it by sneaking out the front. Since sneaking through would both hurt and cause a lockup, the window was looking great.

She tied her bed sheets together, and then to the bed and looked out into the night. With a deep breath she looked back into her room and said her goodbye to mother and brothers. At once she began her descend before she could change her mind about leaving. When she came to halfway down the second sheet, she felt a jolt- the tie between the sheets had slipped. Panicked, she scrambled upward, which only caused the sheet to slip through. The girl's body landed on the ground, injuring her ankle, but thankfully leaving her conscious.
