It was quite, to quite for my nerves to be able to handle. I took a deep breath and worked up the courage to walk into my house. The lights were off in every room and everything seemed to be as quite as death. The air around me seemed heavy and uneasy; something felt wrong, very wrong. I walked into the living room; the lights where still off but there was this slight heavy breathing coming from the center of the room. There were a dozen or so beer bottles on the floor and side tables. Though they were thrown mostly on the ground.
The arm of a man hanged losely on the side of the brown lathered recliner. It looked lifeless, blue even. As I walked closer the floor boards under me creaked loud enough to wake the dead, and if I didn't know any better that's what I would have thought. In a sudden flash of white I was knocked down to the hard wooden floor. I felt cold liquid run down my neck.
On top of me was my foster father, Axe. He was grinding his teeth together tightly as his strong, rough, hands wrapped around my neck as he banged my head against the floor again. I bit my lip harder, drawing blood from it, as I felt Axe cut off my breathing. I chocked out a painful scream as Axe's icy hazel eyes beamed down at me as he kept strangling me. I tried pushing him off, but the result turned out the same. Axe let one of his hands unwrap from my neck as he made a fist and punched my ribs. I bit my lip harder and crawled away from Axe's grasp.
My cursed arm glowed slightly under the many layers of fabric I had on. It's pulse felt like a second heart and now, it was beating twice as fast as my actual human heart.
I was finally far away from Axe, but not completely safe. I crawled again until my back hit the wall. My trembling blue eyes watched my father glare at me as he walked closer; both hands made into tight fist that his knuckles where white. He raised his fist and almost at instinct I raised both my hands up to my face for protection.
I felt the burn on the side of my face when he punched my jaw; my head flew back against the wall and I coughed up blood. My eyes watered a bit but I refused to let the tears fall. He punched me again and I felt a slight ring in my ears that made my head spin.
If I cried it meant I lost, and I wasn't going to give Axe the pleasure of watching me cry. Over my dead body.
The burning kept coming and the pain soon found it's way to my head. Axe kept punching and kicking my sides and ribs. My arms felt numb and my head was spinning that I couldn't even tell if I was upside down or right side up. My eyes were blurred with unshaded tears and my whole upper body throbbed in pain.
I didn't even notice that Axe had already stopped punching me and had already left the house to go to his 'late night job'. I barely heard the truck's engine start and pull away.
I bit my bloody, swollen lip again and sat up slowly. My sides felt like they were being stabbed multiple times. I took in a deep breath and gripped the walls for support. I slowly made my way to my room and locked the door.
This was the only thing I looked forward to every day. Locking myself in my room. And now, at the moment, I was alone, though that was no surprise to me since I was always alone at night.
I crawled into bed and turned on my stereo on 'MAX' with on of those Trash Metal songs that make your heart beat faster and faster. I felt my cursed arms pulse quicken and my head was spinning again. Even though the singer was screaming, every word that came out of his mouth seemed to resemble the pain I felt. And not just the physical pain.
Alone.
Betrayed.
Hated.
I wanted to turn the volume louder but if I did that, the walls would crumble. The music was already making the walls vibrate wildly and I think this is why the neighbors sold their house.
I took in a deep breath and held my head to my hands and finally let out some tears. I opened my mouth and let out a scream that was muffled by the screaming lyrics.
A/N: Well... I think that was self explanatory... ^_\\\ Hope you guys liked it, please review if you want and sorry I haven't been updating any of my other stories. *Damn writers block TT_TT*
