Life wasn't fair.

"Cloudy!" I looked over to the wasted man.

"Yes father?" He'd gotten my name wrong again.

"Corona." I nodded my head and ran to the fridge in the garage, grabbing the bottle containing his favorite alcohol.

When I came back, I handed it to him properly. Watching him open the bottle and take a drink of it. I wasn't surprised that he swallowed it. It surprised me that his hand swung over and grabbed me by the collar of my muddy shirt.

"W-What's-"

"I'll tell you what's wrong with it." He cut me off.

The weird thing about my father was that he would rarely raise his voice. He'd only yell when he was really drunk or angry. Usually he keeps his mellow tone to scare me more. I'd never know what he'd be thinking. Had I done something wrong? Right? Keep my lips zipped? Go away? There was no straight answer. There wasn't a way to tell, the only way was as if I got a close look in his eyes. But that was only occasional. His eyes are inhuman.

"It's cold." He whispered, throwing me into the old hutch that stood in the living room with all of mom's old china and antiques.

I was lucky that the hutch didn't fall on top of me. Even luckier that nothing broke inside. Only a few things had fell over onto its shelf but not damage. I lifted my body up and looked at my father. Emotionless. He stood up and walked away.

"I'm sorry mum." I mumbled under my breath.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here? Little miss rain cloud." His name was Marshall Scott. A popular boy in the seventh grade. Why he and his friends liked to pick on a fourth grader like me was beyond me.

"Leave me alone Marshall." I said quietly, my head looking down towards the ground.

"Let me think. No." He laughed while shoving me around.

"I said leave me alone." I repeated, managing to walk around them and towards the playground.

"You can't run from me." He snarled, grabbing me by the hood of my jacket, pulling me up to where I would meet his burning brown eyes. I hated being so short.

"Put me down!" I cried out. But it was no uses, everyone was in class and there wasn't anyone around. This is what I get for being late I guess.

"Awe, are you gonna cry big ears?" He mocked. Tossing my beanie into the sand, revealing my giant elf like ears.

"Dude! There so sharp and huge!" His friends either scoffed or laughed.

"She really is a monster!"

"What a freak!"

Freak. Monster. Weird. Outcast. Creep. Misfit. Everything I've ever been called had all of a sudden came into my mind. The dame that contained my tears had been smashed through. My mind went into a blank state where I only relived everything in seconds.

"Hey! Cloud girl! What wrong you going into a seizure or something?" They asked as if I were stupid. I wish I had gone into a seizure. Maybe they would have left me alone and learned their lessons. Probably not.

"Hello? Answer us? You gone deaf or something?"

I heard. I moved my head up, removing my eyes away from my black beanie with the white stitched flower and closed them. Turning towards the boys and opened my eyes.

"You little b**ch!" I felt the wind as my body was thrown against the door again.

"What did you do to those boys!?" This was my father angry.

"I didn't mean it." I stuttered shielding my face with my arm as I coughed up dribbles of blood.

"Then why'd you do it!?" He grabbed my shielding arm and lifted me up making me look at him.

"You do realize that those parents are probably going to sue for the medical expenses? You put four boys in the hospital!"

"I-"

"Shut up!" I clutched my eyes shut as his fist went into the wall beside my head.

"Do you have any idea how expensive it's gonna be? That I have pay! I don't have that kind of money!" When I tried to cover my eyes he grabbed my face and just held that instead, pinning my body against the wall.

"You- are in for a world of hurt today." He dropped me to the floor. Allowing me to gasp for air. But it wasn't long for him to drag me into my room. Dumping me onto my bed...

He didn't say anything. Only walked towards my door, buttoning his pants back on and closed the door. Leaving. I laid in my bed crying silently. Holding onto my skirt. Making sure it covered me down. This wasn't even a new realm in which he did. It wasn't often, but not rare. Enough for me to hurt.

I didn't like this world. The only person who loved me was my mum. But it's been five years since she's disappeared from Earth. I was alone now. I had no friends. The only family was my father, and it was obvious that he didn't love me either. There was no destiny for me. No purpose. I was wasting air, life. Someone important could be around and I was hogging up the medical uses, food, water, everything. It doesn't deserve to be given to me.

I decided. I opened my window from my bedroom and snuck through. Snuck out. Leaving the place that was never my home. Walking towards the forrest. Satisfied that my beanie covered my large ears as I passed through town. I made it into the forrest and continued walking forward, towards a mountain. A mountain everyone knew about.

Mount Ebott. They said that whoever goes in had never returned.

The teachers, the other kids at school, and the addicts back in town had talked about that mountain. That there were monsters. They would say that the monsters awaited for humans to come along for a snack. That they would do awful things. Kill even. Humans had feared the monsters and morned over the past lost children that disappeared here. But no one would even notice that I was gone.

There was a cave inside. With no hesitations I walked inside. Past the ancient drawings inside, deep within, was a massive hole. I picked up a rock and held it over, dropping it in. I sat there for minutes. It had either fallen so far that I couldn't hear it, or there was no end to the abyss.

I stood up again, the tips of my toes hanging off the edge. I spread my arms apart as if I were a cross. And I let the wind give me a gentle push.

"I love you mum."

Before I had fallen in the darkness, without any second thoughts or regrets. I was... free.

When I opened my eyes I saw a hooded figure on a boat. I didn't move, I just stared at the figure. It looked back, although I couldn't see anything inside I knew it was looking at me.

"You were lucky, you were almost the flowers." It spoke before sailing off.

"The flower?" I muttered to myself.

When I tilted my head to the opposite side I saw so much snow, and trees. As I started to sit up I hissed and cringed in pain. I looked down at my body and saw cuts and bruises, as if I were wrapped up in a rope with knife tips as thorns. The wind had picked up and my arms immediately had wrapped around my body. Where was I? I thought I jumped to my death? This couldn't be heaven, nor could it be hell. Purgatory? Doubtfully.

I managed to pick my body up and started to walk forward into the snow forrest. I hadn't walked for long, close to an hour maybe but I didn't keep track. My legs and arms started to freeze. I rested my knees into the snow as if they were about to collapse at any second. Breathing softly and exhaling the cloud of warmth that soon disappeared.

"Oh my?"

I heard footsteps, approaching me from the front. I looked up and saw something I didn't expect.. A tall skeleton with a crack in it's skull along the left eye.

"Are you lost?"

It's hands moved in different motions. Sign language almost. I could understand pieces of it, but not much as my eyes started to blur from the cold.

"Young one?"

My eyes started to blur into darkness as my skin started to turn purple and blue.

"It's okay... I'm going to see my mommy." I breathed out before blacking out.
