*Four Months Later*
Malefic watched silently, as his daughter finished tending to her roses. He remembered a month ago, when she ran into his room, telling him about the first rose that bloomed.
Amara came in with a large smile on her face "I finished!"
Malefic nodded, before taking note of her dirty clothes "I'm going to go restock on food, so would you please go get cleaned while i'm away?"
Amara nodded softly, hesitating before asking " Can I go with you?"
Malefic stared silently, with unblinking eyes.
Amara looked down, "Never mind"
Malefic sighed "Maybe one day.."
"Really?!"
Malefic nodded before grabbing his wallet; making his way to the door, "I'll be back" He reminded, before closing the door behind him.

Amara finished getting into her fresh clothes; putting her wet hair in a braid. She walked into the living room. She then picked up a disk at random, placing it in the record player.
Lovely violin music began to play. Smiling in satisfaction, she went to the kitchen window to check on her roses.
She let out a horrified gasp, upon seeing four boys in the back yard, two where still in the process of jumping of the fence into the backyard, the other two, in her rose garden , harshly picking them.
"Stop!" she cried, without thinking;she ran outside "Stop!", she repeated,
The boys stopped in alarm, panic in their eyes.
"What are you doing!?"
One of the boys then laughed, before walking up to her "It's okay guys, she's alone"
All of them laughed, except one, who was still on the fence;his face full of guilt
"I told you, this place wasn't abandoned..." He said
The boy who stood in front of Amara laughed again "Stop acting scared Alex, it's just a little girl"
The nameless boys snickered.
The boy;Alex shook his head "Please don't start Ron"
"Please get out of my yard" Amara said softly.
Ron looked down at her "And what are you going to do about it? Cry?" mocking her in his attempt at a girly voice.
Amara felt her eyes sting, but she refused to let them get to her. "No, I am not"
"Oh? Even if I do this?" Ron then when to her roses, grabbing a handful of flowers, and harshly yanking at them, petals flying everywhere at the roughness.
"No!" Amara ran to her roses. Before she could inspect the damage, Ron stepped up and pushed her to the ground.
The other two nameless boys jumped into the garden, and did anything they could to destroy it;by Jumping on them, pulling, and kicking.
"Stop!" Amara sobbed, trying to get up again, only for Ron to push her down.
"I though you said you weren't going to cry" He laughed, grabbing a handful of soil and throwing it at her
Realizing her situation, Amara stood up, and rushed for the door.
"Hey!" Ron yelled, running after her.
"Ron stop!" Alex; who was still sitting on the fence yelled. "Stop! That's enough!"
Ron didn't listen, instead he forced his way into Amara's home.
"Get out! Get out!" She sobbed
"Come on! It's rude to not invite your guests into your house!" Ron grinned, at her struggle to push him out of the house. Before, yet again, pushing her to the floor.
Before Ron could get into the house any further, he was stopped by Alex, who harshly grabbed his forearm.
"Ron! Stop right now!"
"Why? I'm just having some fun!" Ron argued back,
"This is breaking and entering! Get out now!"
Before Ron could thing about his doings, he panicked when he saw Amara rush for the phone, that was on the coffee table
"Hey!" Ron snatched his arm back, before running towards her; Tackling her before she could reach for the phone.
"Let me go!" Amara cried. kicking him off her; quickly standing up.
Before she could take a step, Ron grabbed her ankle, pulling it towards him. Causing Amara to trip forward.
Slamming her head on the corner of coffee table,
She let out a painful cry. Causing Ron to stop in shock.
He cursed. when the front door opened.
* * * * * * * * **
Malefic carried the groceries up the stairs, towards the front door.
A loud cry sounded in the house
Malefic's eyes widen, before dropping everything, and running to the door,
he slammed the door open. Stopping dead in his tracks, upon seeing Amara on the floor, red liquid appearing at her head. Before he could run to her, he noticed Ron
Red clouded his vision "GET OUT NOW!!" he roared. Causing Ron to gasp in shock before running out the back door.
Malefic wanted so bad to hurt the boy, but his main concern was his daughter, the pool of blood gotten larger by the second. He quickly picked her up, and placing her on the couch, not caring if blood stained the elegant cloth. He lifted up her head to quickly inspect the damage
"Father" Amara whispered weakly, she lifted up a shaky hand towards him. "It hurts"
"I know,I know" Malefic got up and rushed to the kitchen, grabbing as much towels he could carry, before rushing back
He placed a towel over Amara's head, putting pressure on the wound.
"Father" Amara whispered again, before passing out.
