My Escape

Chapter 1: My Wonderland

Have you ever wished that just once for a week, or even a day, even if its just a minute, That you can disappear from here,this boring world of ours, and stumble upon a Wonderland Just like Alice. Most adults and complex minded beings think the Idea is just Preposterous, impossible and pointless. But there is always that 1/100 person who would ,everyday, most definitely wish to and/or try to find her own Wonderland. Almost exactly like Evening Weathers, age 16 3/4, Brown hair, turquoise eyes, 5 ft. 4, and a victim of abuse and teenage angst. Evening was not exactly 'quiet' on her thoughts...she was always big mouthed and expressed her opinion, knowing full well that if her mother and step father would kill her, they'd obviously be the culprit and they'd be in trouble. Everyone knew that Evening was being Abused and mistreated but since she never said anything or admitted that she was being abused, no one could do a thing. The could only sit, and watch as the broken girl walked about smiling to everyone. Evening had always forced the thought into her mind 'I've been quiet this long, and I'm almost 18, it would do no good either way' and she stood by that thought and put up with the numbing pain.

[There's this girl in the mirror, I wonder who she is.

Sometimes I think I know her and sometimes I wish I did.

There is a story in her eyes, lullabies, and goodbye.

When she's looking back at me I can tell...she's hurting inside.]

Evening arrived home from school in one piece, she dodge busy cars, drug dealers and the occasional scumbag safely and landed on the porch that welcomed her coldly, looking down to the brown mat words spelled gracefully spelled out sweetly "Welcome Home" if she stared long enough she could see it warp into "Welcome to Hell"...she would laugh but her neighbors were watching carefully, as if waiting for something. "What's going on, !" She greeted with a large grin "Nothing much, Honey, Do ya wanna come on over fo' Some Sweet tea, I'll give ya some fresh Cookies!"The large woman called with the thick southern accent, you'd hear in Florida or south Texas. "No thanks, Maybe tomorrow, I sort of have work to do, Take care Mrs.W"She smiled unlocking her door and entering leaving the southern woman to sigh and shake her head "poor girl, if only she'd say sometin' 'bout her problem I'd take the poor dear in, George! get the extra room ready! I gotta Bad feeling about tonight!"The woman screeched to her husband who was in the back.

Evening quietly walked into her bed room upstairs making sure to step over creaking steps. She heard disgusting erotic sounds and profanities coming from her mothers room. She gagged quietly and tiptoes into her room which was across a door down from the noisy bedroom. She softly shut the door pulling her blue school journal out of her messenger bag before dropping the large sack on the floor and jump onto the twin sized bed. Posters of anime and rock bands littered her walls, her source of light was a normal lamp by her table, a window and a black ceiling light that illuminated the glow-in-the-dark solar system on her ceiling and black light paintings of fairies and angels in her walls. She turned on her bedside lamp and picked up a tiny remote "lets see M.C.R is disc 1, Drowning Pool is disc 2, Atreyu is Disc 3, i think 4 is Three days grace, and 5 should be a country cd hmmmm"She turned her eyes to the noisy walls that would echo those disgusting sounds. She smirked to see how long they would last this time and pressed the Disc 3 button and found 'her portrait in black' and started to write in the journal she was given.

A couple 3 songs passed and the door slammed open revealing an angry 30 year old woman wearing a silk robe and 'black Stilettos?...eeww' The Girl twitched her brow "Will you shut that Stupid Shit off!"more of a demand than question as she screeched over window shaking music. Evening lowered the volume "Why? I'm not bugging you am I, Mother?"She asked with a fake innocent smile "look you little Bitch, I'm trying to fold the laundry and that Devil shit gets on my nerves." "Its not Devil music its a love song and-" "I don't give a shit, I'm doing-" "laundry,uhu yea, cause EVERYONE does laundry in bathrobes and stilettos, By the way your guarder belt is showing" she said writing in her notebook The woman turned red with god knows how many emotions "THAT IS IT!"She screeched ripping off her shoe and throwing it at the girl's head, hitting her and scratching her cheek with the thin heel "Ow, What the fuck? you hag, I'm doing my homework and your getting blood on it you wrinkled whore!" Her mother was even angrier than before she could have turn purple "JOHN!"She screeched "what is it, now?" Roared a voice. oh great Evening is definitely in trouble and she knew it. The woman got teary in frustration "Evening is being an ungrateful little bitch!"He smirked "I'll handle it, go wait for me"He smirked stroking the woman's blond hair, Evening gagged for the thousandth time. The man grinned evilly "so, You're acting up, wanna tell me why?"He sneered removing a studded belt from her dresser 'Fuck me and my horrible fashion choices!'She though as she pushed her self closer to the corner with a frightful frown "aw is Little Evening frightened? Come on smile for daddy" He shouted pulling her face in his hand tightly, She turned her eyes to his "You're not my FUCKING DAD!"She shouted in his face. He grinned and punched her sending her to the wall making her hit her head. Soft Red liquid flowed from her face and head staining her white uniform shirt. In pain she held her head with tear stained eyes, she was dizzy and light headed. all she heard was a cackle and she fell into darkness.

An hour or two past and Evening began to stir and woke up in a place that wasn't her room but similar to it, she looked out the window and saw her house with only one lit window that reveal disgusting silhouettes. She looked and saw the familiar shelves of Manga and Anime she left in this place and smiled. She stood up slowly realizing how sore she was, she looked at her self she had bandages on her legs and arms, she felt her head and there was wrappings there as well, That proved it. Not only did he beat her AFTER she blacked out he had the nerve to drop her on Mrs. Watson. She walked out the room straightening her wrinkled skirt and tightened the laces on her converse.

She stepped down stairs to see a very frantic Mrs. Watson knitting away at a hat, The woman noticed her presence and dropped the yarn and needles dashing to Evening "Oh, Honey, you're awake! What's this thatcha step-dad told me 'bout you Fallin' down some stairs? Did that damn-" "I'm fine Mrs. W."Evening interrupted, the old woman sighed shaking her head "Oh, Eve! Why dontcha tell someone what they been doin' to ya, Honey Bee" Evening murmured sadly "What's the point? only 2 more years and I'm free to do what I want so-" "ah ah! Do not tell me that! Eve, you KNOW no matter how old you are I'll take you in, You can be Fidy-two and I'll rise from my grave to take care of ya." Evening smiled "Come on hun, There's some fresh pjs on the nightstand, oh an looky here, You're favorite cartoon is comin' on...you dun' wanna miss it do ya?"The woman laughed knowing well the obsession Evening has with that particular anime . Evening stopped on the first step to look at the woman once more, who began to nit "Hey Mrs. Watson..."The woman glanced at her as she slanted her reading glances "Thanks a lot, Mum" She said and dashed up stairs leaving the old woman with a large grin on her proud face.

She quickly changed into a hand sewn pair of night clothes. They were a a light green with a 4 on the collar and had a pattern of bats. Inspired by her favorite character. They were interesting night cloths at least, and they were reversible. When she turned them instead of being green with 4s and bats, it had a six and was a light blue with running kittens;She loved Mrs. Watson for making them for her. She quickly sat in her place on the bed and turned on the tv that was always on one channel. After a second or two the image flickered on right when the opening credits ended and the large title on the tv read 'BLEACH', she grinned to see it was a re-run of her favorite episode, The famous battle between the sexta espada and Ichigo.

Her door opened to reveal a Mr. Watson come in with cookies and milk "Hey kiddo"He grinned "Hey Pops" she greeted remembering how obsessed Mr. Watson is about being considered Pa or Pops "Watching that funny Bleach show huh? can i join ya" "sure thing, Its when Grimmjow Fights Ichigo in his release form" The old man smiled and nodded obviously clueless about what ever the hell the grinning girl was saying. Usually it annoys her when she was watching anime and some one would bug her but she was very comfortable with The Watson's.

The Watson's were Originally a black family of 3. The Man was known as George Watson with his Wife Nellie and daughter Fate. The reason to why Fate isn't around was because she had died of an illness around the time Evening was born, She was only 4 years old. Mrs. Watson wasn't able to have anymore children and made it her mission to care for Evening as her own no matter what. The Watson's love Evening and are her temporary escape during the weekends even if it doesn't last long, they feel that appeasing the selfish desire for a child should be more then enough to care for evening, but the old couple had fallen for the teen since her 10 birthday.

"So this blue haired man transformed into a stronger man in a leotard"Mr. Watson joked making Eve giggle "If you put it that way..." This was her utopia..her paradise, but she still was sad...Mrs. Watson and Mr. Watson are old and she knew that in time she'd take care of them and put her self in jeopardy...but she'll do it just for them. Evening took another cookie of the plate and chomped on it "Oh good god, That spoon lookin fellar' just steps in like that? Back in my day when a fight went down No one would interfere, you lose teeth that way see here. that's what happen"he said pulling his lip to show the girl an empty spot in his row of teeth "Pops, You lost that tooth when you fell that day you took me fishing, remember?" she said "I'm getting a point through'"He grinned, Evening yawned "I'll leave ya to sleep, t'marow's Saturday, so How would you like Nellie and I to take ya down town to pick your birthday present, you're turnin 17 next week ya know" He offered covering her with a large knitted blue and green cover matching her sleepwear "Sure thing, Pops Tell Ma I say good night!" "No prob' Kiddo"He smiled kissing her head and walking out the room. Evening exhaled and let her frown show, how difficult it is to smile for so long...

She turned off the TV that had decided to play a different show, was she really happy? she looked up to the sky out the window sighing, she pulled up her sleeve and her wristband there were 6 small scars close together in a row. she forced a smile onto her face and pulled out a a tiny blade from under the mattress and slowly pushed it and dragged it shortly on her skin . She wiped of the blood with the wristband and wrapped leftover bandage over the cut. Evening isn't what you call a 'cutter', no, she just made her own concept of Tallying the years she's put up with the abuse, forcing her to feel like she's gotten stronger. She looked to the sky and noticed a large star then turned to her blank tv "I wish It was real...so I could get rid of them and protect Mum and Pops"She whispered yawning and Drifted to a deep sleep.

[I could go on with my day and act like everything is okay. But as my life goes on it hurts more in every way..]

Evening Opened her eyes. It was dark and cold, wind was brushing her cheeks as she looked up at a starless night sky Only a moon had illuminated the dark abyss above her and saw it shrink. then she realized, She was falling. She Clenched her eyes and wished, wished, and wished she'd land safely. Soon withing a 10 second count the breeze decreased and she fell once more landing with a thud and heard people gasp. She opened her eyes and saw she was wearing a pure white and black Alice like dress "Who are you?" She heard and looked up and met face to face with a brunette Kent Clark look alike, her jaw dropped and she looked around frantically getting suspicious of where she was..and her suspicions were conformed... she had landed on the Espada meeting table..."What the-...This...Has got to be the BEST dream ever!"She cheered Standing up Almost laughing "this is TOO COOL!" "The hell is your problem!"A voice called she turned to face a blue haired person she was definitely Familiar with "Eh, Me?"She asked pointing to herself "Who else?" She laughed everyone except a select few looked at her as if she'd gone made "Dude! An anime character is talking to me" "Would you like to explain who you are?"The brunette asked She turned towards him "Oh, I'm Evening Weathers, Nice to meet you all, I'm a total fan!"She grinned "A fan?" "Pfft duh, You're all from a Tv Show!" "A What? This girl's kinda strange"Gin said with his usual smile "what do you mean...this is my dream isn't it?"She asked clueless looking around the table "Right?"Silence was looming and her nerves were shaking "I'm afraid this isn't a dream Ms. Evening" She stood straight and still taking in the scenery and people around her...'Ho-Ly Shit!'
