Preparing A Soon To Be

Dawn woke up the next morning still tired after a night of nothing but nightmare after nightmare. She sat up and burried her face in her pillow. Tears were flowing from her eyes, she couldn't stop crying.

There was a knock on her bedroom door. "Dawn? Honey? May I come in please?" her mother asked from the other side of the door. There was no reply Dawn just kept on sobbing.

Dawn's mother entered and found her daughter sitting there crying into her pillow. "Mom, you have to kill me," said Dawn. "I don't know what that sicko's going to do to me, but I'd rather be dead than endure it."

Her mother slapped her right across the face after she said that. "That's the only time in my life I'll ever hit you," she said. "Never ask me to end your life again, I love you more than anything in this world, I can't stand the thought of you being dead."

Dawn just stared at her mother in shock rubbing her right cheek where she was smacked. "We need to get you ready for tomorrow now, so we need to go out to a few places."

Dawn got dressed and ready for the day ahead of her, by the time she was out of her room and made it downstairs, her mother was ready and waiting for her. "We need to get you a collar and leash" she said "Jerry says he has everything else he'll be using on you, so after that we can just go have a pleasant dinner or something, how does that sound?" she asked. "We can go where ever you want to go, and do whatever you want to do."

"Okay mom, thank you for trying to make this easy," said Dawn as she descended the stairs.

"Anything for my precious daughter," said Dawn's mother. "Now come on let's get into the car and get this over with."

"Mom..." Dawn said sitting in the passenger seat of the car next to her mother.

"Yes honey?" answered her mother as she started the car.

"Thank you for protecting me for so long..." Dawn said.

Her mothers eyes teared up as they drove off. She tried her best not to cry.
