HAZEL WITH A HINT OF HOPE

By Autumnrose
She looked at me with dark hazel eyes as if to say, don't worry every thing will be okay; as she tried to escape from the grasp of my stepfather.  As I looked back at her, I could see how terrified she was.  But, there was also something else, something mystical, some thing so far away.....a hint of hope.

     It was then that I realized if I didn't do something quick the person that guided me through life would be hurt.  I picked up the phone, but my hands were shaking too hard to dial.  I tried again once more and managed to dial 911.
