The next morning when I looked in the mirror I noticed my bum was bruised and had a few cuts over it. I hissed as I put on the ointments to help the cuts heal faster, and not hurt as much.

I walked down stairs into our all tawny brown kitchen. Just as I grab a bowl he comes out of nowhere, scaring the absolute shit out of me, causing me to drop and break the glass bowl.

"What do you think you're doing honey? I know you weren't about to eat something without my permission." He scowled, crossing his arms.

All I wanted was a nice and good day, but no. Now I have to lie, and he will see right through me.

"I was making slime, but seeing as you don't trust me enough I won't," I quickly utter walking out of the kitchen to my room.

I didn't even make it to the stairs before he grabbed my wrist, spun me around, and slammed me against the wall.

"You will. Never. Speak. To me. Like that. Again!" He yelled in my face, hurting my ears.

He loves to inflict pain on me, and I don't know why. He made me this broken. Sure others have too, but he is the main person.My cheak stung. He just hit me, and it hurts so bad. I could feel the tears pickling at my eyes.

"Oh, baby." It's now that I smell the alcohol on his breath. "I'm so sorry. I did-"

"No! You always say that, but it's only a lie. You stop for one day maybe and then you are doing it again" I screeched, as I pushed him off of me, as the tears came flowing down from my eyes.

When I get him off me, I run. I don't know where, my legs just carry me as I run far away from the house. I stopped after what felt like hours to Clue Park. All of these happy children make me think of my childhood before. I was once like them but that's changed so much.

"You okay?" Kali my other best friend asks me.

I quickly whip the tears off my face, it's so embarrassing to have someone catch you crying. I could trust him with anything, yet I feel like I can't.

"Yeah, I'm fine. What are you doing here?" I inquire, putting on a fake smile mask.

"I'm here watching my little cousin. You are doing that thing again" Kali states.

The thing where I avoid his question, but I play dumb and respond "What thing?"

"Me and you both know what thing I'm talking about." Yeah, but if I tell him he will look at me differently. He will see me as a broken, weak, whore of a girl.

We were just talking for hours before he had to bring Domino back home. I just walked in the door to my home as the sun was setting. His car was gone so he's not here, he's probably at work. He's a businessman, but works weird hours and has never shown me where he works. I am grateful that he is not home tonight, for things could get so much worse.

I woke up in the middle of the night drenched in blood. The blood was dripping from the ceiling, and hands were coming out of the floor. I hadn't realised I was screaming until Pa barged into my room, looking panicked. Which is funny for he doesn't really care, or love me.

"Anna what's wrong? What is it? Talk to me?" He urgently questioned me.

"No! Get away! Please! Don't hurt me! Don't let them get me!" I yelled as I withered away from his touch.

"I won't hurt you, I promise. Let who hurt you!" His eyes held so much worry and sadness that was probably fake.

"The hands! They're going to kill me!" All of a sudden he turned into a daemon with blood coming out from around his mouth.

"No, my dear, they will lead you home. Home to where you belong, where your mother was trying to save you from."

I woke up, drenched in sweat. The sun was up, I looked over to my clock. It's 7 o'clock, I'm going to be late for school.

I quickly got up and got dressed. I noticed on the counter on the island in the kicken a book. I went over and picked up the leather bound book. It had 'The Devil's Daughter' carved into it. I quickly took the raggedy book and shoved it into my backpack.

I grabbed my keys and got on my bike. I sped all the way there. I made it to school with five minutes to spare. I quickly ran up to the front doors to see Hailey, Andrew, Scarlet, and Gino talking. I completely forgot I was showing them around, or was it just Gino? I don't remember.

"Hey, sorry I'm late," I start out of breath, "I woke up late. Am I still showing you around?"

"I'm showing Scarlet and Andrew around for we all have the same first hour. Gino has the same first as you. Oh, what happened on New Year's?" Hailey rambled.

"Okay Gino let's go before we’re late, and you got wasted, but nothing big happened. I'll see you guys later." I told them before running into the school.

I stopped outside of the classroom and looked behind me to see if he followed. It's now I notice how his grey t-shirt hugs his fit body in all the right ways.

"Why in such a hurry?" He smirks. He noticed me staring at him. Please tell me I didn't slobber.

"Ummmm, I can't be late or I will be killed. Mrs.Febrile is going through menopause, and also is a complete female dog" I quickly instructed.

I walked into the class to my normal seat in the back. Gino sat right next to me even though they're five other chairs open. I don't mind, I just don't like how he doesn't drop his questions.

"Do you not swear or something? Who would kill you for being late? And why aren't you going to tell Hailey what happened at the party? She is your best friend right?" He is so annoying, why can't he just leave me alone.

"I do, I just don't all the time. That's none of your business, and it would bring back terrible memories for her" I answer all his questions. Looking up to the front I notice we have a sub today. "Looks like it's your lucky day, for we have a substitute."

"Really? I thought Mrs.Fiber was a fat pig, with no hair, and a white mustache."

"Mrs.Febrile, not Mrs.Fiber" I corrected him, rolling my eyes at his sarcasm.

Fifteen minutes into class Gino leans over and whispers into my ear, "This is such a bore."

"What? How? Mulan is the best Disney princess besides Belle and Ariel."

"No. Cinderella is."

"Mulan helps girls see they can do anything. Belle shows you not to judge someone by their looks or past. And Ariel shows you that dreams can come true, as long as you try and believe," I explained my choices to him.

"Cinderella is a classic. If we're going with what she teaches girls, it's to obey, clean well, and stand up for themselves if someone is treating them wrong," Gino reasoned.

"So you're telling me that all a women is good for is cleaning and following everything someone tells them to do?" He's so sexist. The way he's thinking is not okay at all.

"No, that's not at all what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"What I meant to say was that-" Gino started but was quickly interrupted.

"Would you two mind telling the class what you're talking about?" The sub Mr.NameIsNotImportantBecauseId-on'tSeeYouAgain asked us.

"No." We both responded in simulation with each other.

"Then I suggest you both shut your mouths." Someone's wife left, and I wonder why? Note the sarcasm.

"A girl should take care of herself, and where she lives, and never let someone take advantage of them." Gino startled me when he whispered into my ear.

"Oh." Was my lame response to him.

~*~

"So? How are you guys liking ClueBlue High?" Hailey asked Scarlett, Andrew, and Gino, with her mouth filled with chewed food. She was so rude at times.

"Have you met the people here? The guys want you to bow down to them, and the few who don't are discusting. Like do they ever take a shower or wash their hair? And don't get me started on the girls, but you two are okay." Scarlett ranted slamming her hand on the lunch table.

"Preach sis," Hailey responded, shoving more food in her mouth. This girl could eat a whole grocery store if you let her. I don't think there is one type of food she doesn't like.

"The chicks are hot. I can't wait to fuck them." At that remark Scarlett slapped Andrew on the back of his head. "Hey! What was that for bitch?"

"For thinking women are objects ugly ogre."

"Watch out, most of them will say they are pregnant with your child. 1)It's a lie and they want the guys money, 2) She doesn't want the real father to know because he is a teacher, or a older married guy, 3) They will purposely make sure you aren't whereing a condom, and rape you. You can't trust any of those snakes." I explain the whole girl population except for the 1% here who have a brain. "Just because they look like angels, means they are devil's spawn."

"But Maggie said she needed-"

"Especially Maggie. She's a snake and will turn on you the minute she gets. Don't tell her anything personal." Hailey sternly tells him.

Maggie Marie Meadow, class A rich slut. She doesn't care about anything but getting laid. She also won't stop torturing you until you die. She feeds off of people's fear. She has everything and gets anything, for when she doesn't get her way all hell breaks loose. Her father doesn't even care that she has a sugar daddy who's in his late sixties, who is also her father's best friend.

"But-"

"No!" Hailey, Scarlett, and me yell at Andrew. He sure has a thick skull.

"Dude listen. When you look at Maggie she looks like a bitch. A bitch who will use you. Seeing as you can't keep quiet about anything, I'm pretty sure you told her who your father is. You need to start learning that when they know that, girls will only like you because of who your daddy is. Didn't you learn with Dõmìnìcã?"

"Don't ever speak of her" Andrew growled at Gino, before he got up.

Whoever Dõmìnìcã is, Andrew must've loved her deeply. But the feelings weren't real on her side.

"Not hungry Savannah?" Gino asks.

"No I had a big breakfast." He looks at me like he knows I'm lying. He drops it and gets back to eating his food.
