Thread: Blank Slate (Dane Stalling & Malicious Lullaby)

Her hands were shaking and she was breathing hard. There had been gunshots and she was lucky that none of them hit her but it was too close. She had a bullet wedged in the back glass windshield but it didnt shatter. It was too close. Way too close. She would have had to have sex with that drunk Buddy Wilson who had just shagged some stupid cater-waiter, nearly killed him, bumped into a Copper and almost died because they figured out she took information she shouldnt have. The information on the thumb drive wasnt part of the deal but it was her security blanket in case the plans fell through. It was her way to hold something over their head in case they didnt give her brother back to her. It was also information worth killing over because it could devastate the government if it was exposed. The roads were slick and icy and slushy and very dangerous. Her car wasnt exactly a four wheel drive and she forgot to put chains on anyways because of the time crunch. Besides, chains didnt allow her to make quick getaways because it was like driving with stone wheels that wanted to wobble and wiggle as she drove. Now she was wishing she had because her car kept veering. Glancing behind her, she saw a car coming towards her in a quick pace and she grit her teeth. Fuck! She turned to look forward and seeing a slight turn that she was about to go straight as opposed to following the road, Penny turned her wheel harshly. It set off a chain of events that happened back to back and she couldnt even really comprehend what was happening. It just happened. Her car seemed to spin off and then flip before landing upside down. Her head hit the steering wheel and even the roof of her car harshly, causing everything to go black. Her head was bleeding, her car was left immobile and had smoke coming out of the engine. Penny lay there barely breathing and her mind revisiting a blocked memory before everything in her memory and in her brain went completely black Papa! A young firecracker of an eight year old ran up to a strong and strapping man, her fiery red hair bobbing down her back as she jumped up into his arms. Strong arms scooped up the little girl and held her close, a warm kiss pressed to her temple. Theres my Lucky Penny. What took you so long? Are you staying this time? Can me, you and Danny go to the town fair? Her accent was stronger, coating all her words and her voice was different, smaller, more adorable and full of innocence, as were those hypnotic green eyes like shining emeralds. Sweet Pea he sat her on the counter and cupped her cheeks. I have to go away for a while. But Danny will take care of you. I promise. ButbutPapa you just came back. Where do you have to go? Just then, a knock came at the door. He walked away from her and went to the door. Opening it, he saw the law officials presenting their badges, arresting him and reading him his rights. Little Penny hopped off the counter and she ran to the door to find her father turned around as they strapped on handcuffs behind his back. Papa! She screamed, her green eyes turning blurry as they filled with water. She ran to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, starting to cry. Please dont go! Please dont take my Papa away from me! She pleaded with hysterical sobs. Hands were around her and started pulling her away. She cried harder and turned into her older brother who knelt down to her height and held her in his arms. The law officials took him and turned away. When Penny looked back to see her father leaving, she tried to run after him but Danny held her back. Then everything went black.
