She ran as fast as she could, never even thinking to look back. A chance like this will never happen again. One opportunity to slip away and she is gone despite her father's warnings. He was only worried, but she yearned for freedom. Freedom was only just a word in fairy tales up until now. Her breaths were jagged and her sprinting slowed into a jog the deeper and deeper into the woods she went. She couldn't even consider stopping yet, her father would catch her. She didn't know how long she could keep this up; she wasn't numb to pain like her father was. She felt all kinds of pain; the worst of them all was what she was escaping. The pain of loneliness and cluelessness about what went on around her. Not knowing… was what encouraged her insanity, and soon, her downfall.
It's been hour's sense she slipped away from her father, her lungs were working at their maxim limit. The colors in her vision blurred and the air burned her throat, yet this was the best moment of her life. She always wanted to see the colors and breathe the fresh air. She fell to her knees cutting them up from the rocks and sticks. She was out of commission, she pushed herself to the limits that exceeded a normal humans. She couldn't pray for she had no one to pray too, she knew nothing, and she believed that she was nothing for so long. She lay down helplessly. She could hear footsteps approach her, her only thought was 'I should have know freedom was one of the few things I couldn't accomplish.' She couldn't help but to cry, it was so close.
Bill stopped and stared at the child on the ground, and the sobs she let out. A slight smirk spread onto his face. He always loved the feel of pain and longing; That tortured feeling of loneliness, that very feeling was what inspired him. He only wanted the same for his 14 year old daughter. He wanted to see her eyes flare in pain and craving for everything she wasn't allowed to do. Keep her locked up for long enough and that will be the outcome. He keeled down onto his knee and leaned closer to the whimpering teenager.
"Finally got out, hmm?" He lifted his eyebrow, she said nothing. The sun reveled the golden streaks in her brunette hair. She clenched her fists and gritted he teeth, she would fight tooth and nail before she went down.
"Why can't I live, why can't I love, why won't you leave me alone?" She choked out mixed with her sobs. Bill loved every minute of this, he had no idea how his half human daughter really felt. She slowly lifted herself off the ground, staggering a little to gain her balance.
"Ebony, Don't you see, the second you leave you get hurt. Pain is something you are supposed to enjoy not loath. You just need to come back with me and-"
"Shut up." Ebony growled, her hair fell in her eyes. Bill furrowed his eyebrows; his eyes had an alarmingly dark look to them. This frightened Ebony; she was terrified of what happens next. She learned her lesson the first time, she couldn't forget it. It was etched into her memory, something that scard her at such a young age but what did she have to lose?
"Ebony Div Cipher, I am willing to give you another chance. Now come-"
"No! Never, you'll have to take my none moving body back before I will willingly go with you. I'm not like you Dad! I am the product of a demon and a human, I feel pain but I'm immortal. You can't feel my pain, you have nothing to fear. I have to live forever with this agony, its torture!" She sobbed, her nails dug into her palms and warm salty tears dripped down her cheeks. Bill stepped forth, Ebony tensed. Bill grasped Ebony's wrist and nearly ripped her arm out of its socket. Her feet couldn't keep up but she never stopped resisting as he dragged her back to the multidimensional portal.
"LET GO!" She screamed, Bill stopped and pulled her arm up in a painful position. He was beginning to get tired of this.
"I Love you Ebony, this is the only feeling I can have. I want you to grow up strong and powerful. I want the best for you, your mother was weak! That's why she died, she was w-e-a-k weak!" He shouted, the memory of the child's mother meant nothing to him. He couldn't care less about her; all he cared for was Ebony. She was his ticket to world domination. So much potential was stuffed into that little body of hers. He knew this well, first she was just a pawn in his plan but 14 years with the kid allowed him to feel an emotion that drove him crazy.
"Please Daddy, I will do anything." She pleaded, he thought about her wording. Anything he knew this could show her strength. He wanted to turn her heart cold, and her head crazy. He wanted her to plead to return home. He had many ideas but one stood out, Pine Tree. Pine Tree always got in his way, why not kill two birds with one stone?
"Fine, I will let you live in the real world if you keep an eye on a certain someone for me!" he would let her watch him, and then end him. If she doesn't obey I will take her freedom. Which will be more important to her? Either way she will lose something, she will lose her mind both ways. Insanity will flow though her, it was in her blood but she had no idea. The words that left her father's mouth stunned her, Ebony stopped everything. Her eye that wasn't covered grew as wide as the full moon, a smile crept onto her face, and she felt paralyzed. Bill took one hand and moved her silky hair out of her eyes, it reveled a demon eye like his and her human eye. They both shimmered as they filled with tears. He felt something weird inside his nonexistent heart. Ebony had weak knees from this announcement; she latched onto her father's jacket. Bill picked her up and carried her to an old run down shack in the middle of the woods. A boy lay on the grass looking up at the sky; she could tell that boy was an experience. He would help her know, he would help her live, he would help her love.
She knew nothing of her father's plan, she just wanted to live now and worry later.
