'She's at it again' I groaned impatiently. It started years ago as simple crying during nights. Then it progressed to the screaming and thumps against her bedroom walls stage, when she was about 13 almost 14. Now it was that pitiful pleading and begging. Her mattress springs squeaking and the thumps and screams more frequent and louder. My "daughter" would hide her self away in her room for days after, as if the world was against her. 'It's her own bloody fault' I would say. If she wasn't the freak she was then It would have never have happened.
At first it startled me, and I confronted Michael about it, my second husband. "Just teaching her a lesson" He would reply. I passed it off not really caring. She had become quite a nuisance and I was too busy with the new baby I just had. Brandon, he is so adorable. Nothing like her, thank God.
But at night it was getting disturbing so I would go to bed early to miss the nightly ritual. Some nights she would wake me and I would curse her name for being so loud and ruining my sleep, it was so precious then with the baby and all. And now as I lay in bed I can hear her pitiful pleating for him to stop. I guess with my new family and all I pushed her away because of her abnormalities. I was ok with the occasional beatings. She would whip out her freakishness in front of me and my new family and I hated her for it. So the beatings were disserved, maybe she would stop.
Then she went to that school and it got worse so I was ok when the severity of the beatings when up. It kept progressing until last summer when her legs were broken. I started to doubt it all. When I voiced my opinion I was hit. I cursed her up and down for turning him into that man. And now this year it is out of control. This year he took her very essence. But what is a mother to do when she has ignored it for almost 8 years. And her daughter is a witch she can take care of her self. Yes I have made a decision Hermione Jane Granger needs to grow up and take care of her self.
I know this chapter is short but it is just the prologue after all. (no the whole ff in't going to be written like this)
Had to change the Step - Fathers name, I just had a little boy and my husband named him Jason.
