Past Happiness
Prologue
A pale, thin woman ran through a street full of people. She looked behind her and could see her husband quickly following her. The woman felt her heart beating extremely fast, she had found out she was pregnant and she didn't want to lose her baby. Her black hair flew around her face as she panicked to get away from him. She turned a corner into another cobble stoned street and found it empty. She walked cautiously to the end of the empty street. She saw and heard no-one. The woman stopped and took a deep breath in relief, maybe she lost him.
When she turned around she bumped into the person chasing her, she gasped, she wanted to scream but nothing came out. 'Did you think you could get away from me Eileen?' the man asked seizing her arm. Tears slowly leaked from her eyes as she looked up into her husband's face. He had a thin, sallow face with shoulder-length black hair, which was greasy to the touch.
Eileen wrestled in her husband's grip, 'Please Tobias, you're hurting me,' she rasped.
Tobias kept hold of her as he dragged her back up the empty street. Eileen continued to wrestle; she turned her body and struggled to reach for her wand. She took out her wand which did not go unnoticed by Tobias, he turned to face her, he smacked her hand as hard as he could and her wand flew to the other side of the street. Eileen grabbed her hand as it throbbed with pain. Tobias let go of her and picked up her wand. He put it in his pocket.
'You won't need this,' he said roughly. 'Now, you need to shut the fuck up and come home with me, and if you make another scene you'll be sorry.'
Eileen felt as though she was rooted to the ground. Tobias grabbed her wrist and forced her back home. When they reached the house Eileen looked up at it, it was old and dark looking, uninviting even. She wondered why they had chosen to stay here when they got married. Eileen sighed sadly, every time she thought about it she felt like her heart dropped to her stomach, he wasn't the man she married anymore.
Tobias pushed her inside the front door, Eileen walked into the living room and Tobias followed her. 'So, you're pregnant,' he stated.
Eileen looked at him, 'Yes, and I don't want to get rid of it,' she stammered shakily. Eileen looked around the room; her eyes fell on a few photos that were located in one corner of the room. There was one of them before they were married and a couple that were taken on their wedding day.
Tobias walked over to her and shoved Eileen backwards. She fell hard onto the floor, she tried to lift herself but she felt her back twitch in pain. Tobias strode over to where Eileen laid. Eileen moved back and propped herself against the wall slightly, gasping in pain all the while. Tobias kicked Eileen in the legs, Eileen yelped weakly.
'You will get rid of it, I will not have any child of mine a freak,' Tobias screamed.
Hot tears ran down Eileen's face rapidly, 'The baby won't be a freak,' she said inaudibly.
'It will be, because you're a fucking freak. Stupid magic crap, it's unnatural,' Tobias said cruelly. He kicked Eileen in the legs again, but more violent. Eileen wept and cried a little harder, 'You get rid of the fucking thing before I do, understand,' he said viciously. Eileen just nodded and Tobias walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him. Eileen then shook her head while trembling, not the man she married at all.
