the Full moon shone into The open window. Michelle Opened her closet, and put two plates full of food into the dark space. "Don't worry, Matthew, Timothy, Tiffany, Lydia. You can come out now. He's gone." A little 7 year old stepped out, terrified. "we've been hiding for 3 years, When can we stop?" Matthew asked."I don't know, Matt. When Daddy is gone, then You won't have to hide anymore." Matthew nibbled at the food on his plate. Gingerly, two 5 year olds(a girl and a boy)and a 9 year old girl joined Matthew. Michelle took Matt to first grade, and Lydia to 4th grade. Tiffany and Timothy go to a preschool. Michelle doesn't even attend school sometimes because she can't afford it. She would rather see her siblings get good education. They were all that mattered to her now. 

  The children shared the food they had been given. They were used to it, Michelle couldn't even bring our plate sometimes. "Mitchie, do you think daddy will find us?" Tiffany asked. Mitchie had been wondering that too. "No, daddy will never find you. Dont worry. You will be safe. And if he does, I will protect you. I will always protect you, no matter what." Mitchie would give her life foe them. Nothing would ever happen to them. "Mitchie? Did daddy hurt you agian?" Michelle glanced at the cut on her arm. "I'll go get the doctor kit! " Matthew whispered loudly. He ran into the closet and came out a few seconds later with a small box. He opened it, and took out some gauze padding and blue vet wrap. Lydia and Matt worked together to clean and fix Mitchie's wound.
