Disclaimer: Well, you know what it is. So lets get on with the story, shall we?
It started to rain around 12 o'clock. The water pounded on the windowpane while the lightning flashed its face and thunder could be heard.
Inside the dark house, the shadow of a child danced around in the darkness.
She was the child the age of 11.
Her dress was the same style it had always been since she was young, a plain black one that ended at her knees.
The black-laced book rested on her lap as she wrote endless fantasies in it. Roses and its leaves crawled over the sides of the pages as she wrote. Taking a break from writing, she looked up at the fire next to her with glassy eyes. Looking down once more, she lowered her black pen and-
"Where are you?" A young woman's voice echoed. The young girl turned her head away from her land of wonders and looked behind her.
A teenager opened the wooden double doors and looked down at the child on the floor with the strangest look. She didn't look happy to see her, she just looked disgusted. The child didn't know what that look meant, though.
"There you are." The woman said, stepping into the room.
"Were you looking for me?" the girl asked innocently, turning her whole body until she was facing the teenager completely.
"Yes, haven't you heard me calling you?" the girl asked, sneering at the younger girl. Still, the girl took no notice of the look.
"No, I haven't. I'm really sorry." She apologized, getting ready to face the fireplace again. The teenager held out her hand and the girl stopped in mid-action.
"Don't bother." She said. She turned her back to the 11-year-old and started to walk away. "As you might as well know, today's the anniversary of Mothers death. Father is out drinking. And now, since you are eleven today, I think father will do worse than every. So, I advise you run away from here. Forever."
The young girl gasped. The truth hit her reality and crumbled her hopes of a good night's rest.
Today was her birthday, or as everyone might call it, the day the thing was born. She was a good and healthy child, a child that any mother would give anything for. But, the bad thing was, she wasn't her father's child. In the land she was born in, giving birth to a child that isn't your husbands was an unforgivable sin.
In other words, she was born evil.
Her mother was put to death the day the girl was born, leaving the girl with her hateful Father and her half-sister. Now, every birthday she had, her father would go out and come back hostile. And if he catches her tonight, he might have no mercy…..
"Y-Yes. Thank you, Onee-sama." With that, the now scared girl got on her feet and ran past her older sister.
In the pouring rain, the girl ran. Rain his her head hard and soaked her dress. Her feet grew muddy after three seconds outside. Running down the carriage way, she turned her head and looked up at a window.
From the fire light, she could see the shadow of her big sister. The thunder showed her cruel face. One hand was propped on the window, her smile was wide and wicked.
The girls honey eyes grew big, a noise was heard from down the road and she turned her head so fast hair whisked into her eyes. Her father's carriage was coming into view slowly. She backed away. "Oh no, he's here already?!"
She had to find another way out. She turned her head and looked at the forest. "But it's …." It was the forest that her sister said was haunted.
She stiffened when she heard a carriage door slam. She turned her head slightly when she heard a growl, "You…."
Her father, smelling of beer and other stuff, was trudging towards her. He had the same evil grin on his face like her sisters, but his was different in the most violent way. He looked like he was out for blood. He reached out with the red in his eyes. "Come here-"
"G-get away from me!" She screamed, slapping his hand away before turning her heel and running into the forest.
She held her head as the branches and twigs hit her face. Tears spilled down her face once she realized that her father was following her. I don't want to die!!!
She ran faster, straining her frail body. Still the lumbering noises behind her continued. Gasping, she screamed, "Someone, help me!!!!!"
Running even farther, she noticed that the rain lessened its hard shower. She noticed that the branches didn't hit her face as much either. She opened her eyes and realized that this was a totally different forest. She stopped and looked behind her.
From the darkness, she saw no one following her. She blinked, her mind spinning. The words she screamed in her mind from before still echoed in her head.
Get away from me!
Someone help me!
I don't want to die!
Grabbing her wet head and closing her tear filled eyes, she continued to run blindly. She opened her eyes only when she tripped over something.
The forest was dark. The only light was the eerie glow that came from everywhere.
She pushed herself up and looked down at her lower body. Everything was clean from any trace of mud, the only thing was that she was dripping wet. "What the-?"
I have to keep going…. She shook her head and took slow, tired steps. She looked ahead, seeing but not seeing. Stepping on something, she winced and knelt down, tending to her foot. Tearing off a long piece off the hem of her dress, she wrapped it around her foot.
Looking up again, she saw what was never there. A large hole was in the middle of the forest, just waiting for something to happen. And in front of it was her book.
"Hey!" She said, walking to her book and bending down to pick it up. Once she stood up straight and its cover came into view, her eyes widened.
"Het, this isn't-"
Why, your finally here…..
"What-?!" The girl asked, clutching the book. She turned slightly and a dark hand that came from nowhere appeared. Pushing her shoulder, she fell into the deep, dark hole.
At her last look at the forest, she saw no one.
Only the ghostly face of her Mother……who's evil grin pointed from chin to chin.
Well, this is the first chapter. I hope you liked it.
