"The War Has Just Begun (Part 5)"
Fri Oct-10-03 08:21 AM

  

          



The End

I sat there with her,
kinda hovered over her in the dark,
waiting. She seemed comfortable,
and I... well, I was trying to be
there for someone who didn't
want me to be; but somehow, I didn't
care.
We sat there, among mud,
bugs, and the stale air
counting the hours as they passed,

Alone.

A police car pulled up in front of
the big, old house. vanessa and I
could see it from where we were,
it was a policeman. We both knew
where this was going. He slowly
pulled into the driveway, got
out of his patrol car with his
chest poked out: showing off his ego.
We watched. Still. Peaceful. Good little gurls.
He straddled, checking for his nightstick
and other officer paraphernalia. We
weren't impressed.

*bang bang bang*
He knocked away at the door.
We still sat there, trying not to
breathe.. *bang bang bang*
"Is anyone there? This is Officer Pelote."
He manned the front door, blowing off
steam, and awaiting an answer.
*bang bang bang*
"Hello! This is the Windermere Police. If anyone's
home, I'd like to come in and talk with you
about a little gurl named vanessa."

vanessa shrugged her shoulders,
and dashed from under the house on her knees.
I cried. I noticed her shadow getting
smaller. She was brave. She was being
the vanessa I loved to hate.
"I'm home, and I'm vanessa."
"You know what I'm here for,
don't you little one?"
"Yeah. It's cuz I did something
I wasn't sposed to."
"Yes, and you're in a lot of
trouble, but we'll talk about that down
at the station. Where are your parents?"
"My daddy ain't here, and I don't know where
he is either."
"Your mother?"
"Dead."
"Is there a family member I can call to...?"
"No."
"Okay then, come with me."

Officer Pelote took vanessa by the hand,
escorted her to the back of his
car, and nodded... as if he knew I was there
watching them.
I sat there, wiping the tears away from my
face and mixing them with the dirt.
vanessa wasn't even scared, but
I was... for her.

felt...enraptured by this

the *bang bang bang*
had the effect of shotguns altho they were door raps, because of the set-up u provided...i love girl tales...i liked this alot especially due to the assignment of roles "the brave/bad one" "the lesser feelin one who wishes to be like her"

good stuff

girl, I dig how all of your drops with this has really begun a very intriguing series to look forward to...keep it up, this one gave me slight shivers....I love the first paragraph!

Could make me the past but that I musn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
Cause I'll be loving you always."

_________________________________

October Sexy Bitch of the Month:

Full Name: Charlize Theron
Birth Date: August 7, 1975
Birth Place: Benoni, South Africa
Height: 5'9"
Measurements: 36-24-36
Occupation: actress, former model
Resume: Joffrey Ballet, Devil's Advocate, Sweet November, Cider House Rules, etc.

Why she's a sexy bitch:

Well, the answer to that only requires one look at her. But in true sexy bitch fashion, Charlize is much more than just a pretty face and amazing body. Though she lost her accent to make acting easier on herself, Afrikaans is her first language. She's a true mama's girl...even after her mother shot and killed her father in self defense, she remains extremely close to her. Oh yeah...and she's a great actress. Beauty, talent, intelligence, and loyalty...what more do you need?

"I haven't lost my culture, just my accent." - Charlize Theron

The Brunette Revolution will not be stopped!

I want the first copy!(okay a copy autographed by you seeing as though I might get mobbed trying to get one)

Tre, I've read a lot from you, and I have to say that from all I read, I would have to say this is very different. I did read the last, and I think its cool how you stuck with it, being on point.
This was well put together, and truly dope.

~hmmm...."Good little gurls."....and "We weren't impressed"....those lines are the sort of gems that allowed me to sink deep into this piece. Very nice right here.

...

I just read the series in it's entirety and it seems that the character of the piece is intrigued/captivated by this little girl and "Good little gurls"...well...we have 2 culprits now don't we?

sisters

peace.
