Okay, so this is my first story so I really don't know if I'm any good at writing and and my first time posting on fanfiction so I may be doing this wrong. I've never been good with grammar or vocabulary so if there are any mistakes I'm sorry and let me know.
Darkness within
chapter 1: Amaya
Dammit! I'm late! I continued running even though there was no point. I ran as fast as I could but still noticing the odd stares I was getting from the people walking by. I Ignored them
"Finally," I breathed, gasping for air. The sun was already beginning to set.
I slowly opened the door bracing for whatever would befall me for being late. Not a second after I had stepped inside...
A crash sounded as a beer bottle smashed against the wall so close to my head that glass shards and liquid sprayed my face.
"Where the hell have you been!"
"I'm sorry for being late but I told you earlier I needed help with my school work," I whispered as I shut the door behind me, careful not to step on the shattered glass. My mother, yes mother if that what you want to call her started to stumble towards me.
"Don't back talk to me, smart-ass! You never told me that! Otherwise I wouldn't have worried!"
Yeah, worried. I bet you were... not!
"But..." I trailed off, there wasn't any point in trying to explain she was way too drunk for that.
I felt a sting across the cheek she had just hit. No I didn't cry. After all this wasn't the first time I've been hit. I just glared up at her. Man did I just want to hit, hurt her back but what would that solve? What would that prove?
" Go to your room," her voice lowered to almost a whisper. So I did just that, I turned and walk up the creaky steps. I went into my room locked the door. I looked at the cracked glass of my mirror, remembering that special time when my head had smashed it... That'll leave a bruise, I thought as I looked at my swelling cheek. I did the best I could to cover it up with my blue hair. And if your wondering ,ya, its natural.
I smirked. And even managed a light laugh. She was drunk alright. I'd swiped her phone with ease. I turned and jumped into my bed and lied back to watch one of my favorite shows of all time. Yu-gi-oh. Well at least season 0 although I did like the other seasons. I didn't have headphones so I had to keep it low although it wasn't like she would catch me, I've gotten away with this so many times.
After a while I started to drift into sleep. It was moments like this that I was most content so lets just say I was rarely happy, if ever...
I awoke to hear banging on my door. SHIT! I'm in so much trouble!
"OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!"
what do I do!? What do I do!? I panicked. I didn't know what to do. It wasn't like I could climb out the window, where would I go!?
And calling someone would be a mistake, even if my mom was arrested and sent to jail for many things I would be sent to an orphanage and I didn't want that.
So I did the only thing I could think of. I turned off the phone and and hid under the covers. Ya I know pretty dumb but I couldn't do anything else! I couldn't climb out the window, being on the second floor. If I jumped, I could get hurt or even die. I wasn't going to take the risk. I squeezed my eyes shut, silently pleading for the banging to stop, for her to go away...
She continued to yell and bang at the door. I grabbed a hold my necklace. The one my father gave me before he died... I don't want to be here anymore! I want to go home!
A few minutes later, the banging and yelling I waited a few seconds just to make sure. I peeked out of the covers and saw a boy with spiked tri-colored hair and amethyst eyes staring down at me with worry.
" Are you okay, Amaya?"
so what do you guys think? Please review otherwise I might not continue this. Also sorry again if there are mistakes and if it started out slow. I will try to post chapters as soon as possible.
Edit: (The writing is better later on in the newest chapters.)
