Chapter 3: Penny's Nightmare
(Trigger Warning: Sounds of gunshot and intense argument)
When Pax is sleeping peacefully, after his father reads him a bedtime story.
Meanwhile, with Penny
Penny was having a hard time waking up since she had a nightmare every night.
•In Penny's nightmare•
She was in her luxurious room, sleeping peacefully while hugging her cat plushie that her biological mother made for her.
Then Penny woke up from her sleep where she heard her parents fighting.
Penny: Again? No wonder it's hard for me to sleep...
She decided to get up and went to her parents' room to hear what was going on.
Little did she know, she'd regret it and her life would be endangered.
Penny's Mom: YOU LITTLE SHIT!!! YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH ANOTHER GIRL IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
Penny's Dad: SAYS THE ONE WHO USED MY MONEY FOR YOUR NEEDS INSTEAD OF OUR KID!!!
Penny's Mom: AT LEAST I FOUND SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU!!!
Penny's Dad: IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, YOU TWO COULD'VE ROT IN THE STREETS!!!
Penny's Mom: ...I'm filing for a divorce...
Penny's Dad: What about our kid!?
Penny's Mom: I don't need her...
Penny's Dad: *pulls out the gun*
Penny: !
Penny's Dad: LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!!! THAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR KID!!! I EVEN WORK FOR THE MONEY SO I CAN PAY FOR OUR NEEDS!!!
Penny's Mom: I see how this is...
Her mother puts down the divorce papers on the table.
Penny's Mom: Your loss...
When she's about to leave, her husband is fed up with her attitude, so he shoots her in her guts using a gun.
Penny: !
Her mother falls from the shot.
She tried to run away without getting caught, but she knocked over a table with an empty vase.
Her father heard her and tried to find her so she wouldn't call the police.
When she was about to go out, she was grabbed by her nanny who was hiding in a closet.
Penny's Nanny: Sweetie, stay inside, I'll call the police.
Penny: Okie...
She stayed inside the closet while her nanny called the police.
While she's hiding in the closet, she tries not to get caught along with her nanny.
But she accidentally sneezes, which attracts the attention of her father.
Penny's Dad: !
Penny became scared since her father would find her and her nanny.
Penny's Nanny: It's okay sweetie... the police will arrive soon...
When her father was about to open the closet, her nanny protected her with her life before the police arrived.
They arrested her father and saved her mother on time before dying due to blood loss.
Penny was sent to the orphanage since the nanny has to take care of her own biological children, which is understandable for her, but she'll miss her.
•In Reality•
Penny woke up from her nightmare when she became scared of sleeping alone.
She decided to go to Pax's room.
Pax was sleeping peacefully until he heard a knock on his door. He woke up and decided to open the door to see his sister waiting for him.
Pax: Penny, what's wrong?
Penny: Big brother, I can't sleep... I have a nightmare...
Pax: Oh dear... you know what, you can sleep with me for the night. I'm sure the nightmares will go away.
Pax: The next time we go to bed, I'll ask my mom or dad to read a bedtime story for us to sleep.
Penny: Thanks big brother! *hugs her brother*
Pax: Let's go to sleep, we can play with the other kids.
Penny: Okay!
They go to his bed before they fall asleep, while Pax comforts his sister and makes sure that she's comfortable.
Meanwhile, with their parents
Oakley: Darling, can you please check on our kids? I'm tired...
Flynn: Sure dear.
He let his wife rest before he got up and went to their rooms.
He checked Penny's room and was shocked that Penny was not in her bed.
Flynn: ! (Where's Penny!?)
He ran to Pax's room to make sure that his kids were safe.
When he went inside, he saw Penny and Pax sleeping peacefully, and he sighed in relief.
Flynn: That's wholesome...
He left to sleep with his wife since he didn't have to worry about his kids.
