I came up with this chapter while listening to Christina Aguilera's "I'm OK" song.
Chapter One: Is there no Hope? (this is in Tara's point of view)
Running. Running. It was all I can do. It was what my mother told me to. She told me to run. "Just keep running. Don't look back." was what she told me when I ran out the door. I ran. I left my mother at home with a father who was drunk and abusive. I didn't want to leave her, but she told me to go. /She is only trying to protect you./ I kept thinking. I should go back home and rescue her myself.
But that would only lead to tragedy...again. I may be only 7 but I had as much power as the next fox demon. Yes that is where I lived. I lived in a fox village. A village where my father was the 'chief'; if you want to call him that. For has long as I could remember he abused us. His family. My mother, my older sister, my younger brother, and me. I would always ask why? But I normally got no responce.
Tears ran down my face. For I knew my mother was getting the worst of it. Mother knew he would come home being drunk and everything. So told us kids to leave and hid. (I didn't I stayed behind.) Now she is being punished for it. Being punished for protecting her childern from a maniac. I remember him yelling at her, slapping her, even raping her at times. But she never gave up hope that someday he would respect us, or leave and give us peace. /Yeah right, him respecting us and leaving so we could have peace. No I truly think he likes what he is doing./ I thought as I stopped running and rested on a tree limb. My ears could pick up the words and slappes my mother was enduring. Was there any hope of any kind?
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Yes there was hope. My uncle never did like my father, then when my mother married him, or now. I jumped down off the tree and ran to his house. I arrived at his door just as the rain came pouring down. I knocked. I didn't know how tired I was for when he opened the door I collaspsed in his arms.
Well what do you think? Huh, I thought it was accutally pretty good after I revised it a few times. Can't wait until I put up the second chapter. Can you guess who Tara's uncle is? I know who it is...but that is because I am the writer. hahaha. Please review. Flames will be used to cook the evil people who want Yusuke and Marik to themselves. ( gets hit with a metal bar) owie I was just joking. lol Thanks for reading and reviewing.
