Hidden Beauty

This is my new story. I actually have this written down already its just a matter of typing it up, so it would be up a lot faster (hopefully.) The Café is a story I write when I'm bored so don't expect regular updates, sorry x. Anyway, I hope you like this one and the characters maybe OOC.

Amu's P.o.v

My eyes fluttered open as the warm rays of sunlight hit my face. I got up- reluctant to leave the warmth and comfort of my bed.

My mother had passed away when I was 6years old. I was close to my mother since my father would be busy. This had upset me, for a few weeks I would refuse to eat so I had to be forced fed.

My father decided that I needed someone to look after me so he re-married to Koruna Suki, who already had 2 daughters from a prior wedding.

The older one was named Yamabuki Saaya and the younger was called Yamabuki Misa (They were named Yamabuki from their real father). They were a year older than me. They hated me to pieces and always bullied me.

A few weeks after my father re-married he had a car crash and was reported dead. I had then become a doll, a puppet in the hands of my step-mum.

My step-mum told all my relatives that I had died along with my father so none ever came looking for me. Suki only cared about herself and her daughters and turned me into a maid to serve them.

I also had a brother, Kukai, who was currently in hospital. He had a medical condition which got worse and worse each day and finally was so weak he was taken to hospital. I couldn't worry him in fear that his condition may turn worse. My brother never knew I got bullied.

I was currently 17 and my brother was 21. He had been in hospital for 10 years now. I loved my brother lots since he was the only one I had left.

Once my step-sisters played a prank on me and but black hair dye in my shampoo. It would take a few weeks to wear off. Suki made me wear green contacts and a maid dress; if I refused she would hit me.

If I did a slight mistake I would be beaten, whipped, scratched, pushed, had glass thrown at me, have no food all day, be locked in my room or sometimes the closet. I had gotten used to all my punishments and work so they didn't bother me anymore. I had learnt to cook, clean, sew and treat minor wounds.

We lived in a mansion which had 3 floors, an attic and a cellar. The first floor had the main room, dining room and the kitchen. The second floor had a library, a music room, an art studio and 3 bedrooms. The third floor contains 5 bedrooms and each had a balcony. It had the biggest room in the house, where Suki slept.

The corridors were all white and they had a light blue floral design on them. There were flower like lamps stuck on the walls, which were teal blue colour.

At the end of the corridor was a small and barely noticeable door. It was all white and faded in with the walls. Behind the door were creaky steps, which lead into darkness. If anyone dared to go up they would find a door to a normal bedroom in the attic. I slept there.

It has a tiny window and the walls were a light peach colour. The floors were wooden and there was a small scruffy bed sitting in the corner. I had a desk, a cupboard and a cracked mirror in my room. On my desk sat a picture of my once loving family I no longer had. We had taken the picture a few months before my mother had passed away. We looked like a perfect family with no worries at all.

People do say that nothing ever lasts forever… I wished I was still young, running into my mother's lap and giggling. That my father would tell me he would never let me get married and my mother would hit him. My brother would laugh as he played with his ball in the garden. I would smile, not a fake smile but a real smile that hasn't appeared on my face for years.

I went down and met Rima, my best friend. She worked here as a maid since she was younger and her parents left her.

I had found her one day when I had gone to the market with my mother. She was curled up into a ball, crying near the alleyway, as boys laughed at her. My mother had scolded the boys and we had brought Rima home. We cleaned her up and asked her where her parents were. She had started crying and told us that they left her there.

I became friends with Rima. We were best friends. Rima was sweet, caring and gentle but to strangers she was mean, cold and fierce. She had flowing gold locks with deer-like eyes which made her look irresistibly cute. Rima was forced to work after my father passed away.

I walked into garden. It had a porch with a bench. Also, newly cut grass and flowers around the sides. There was a swing at the back and a birdbath in the middle.

I found Suki there talking to someone on the phone. She saw me and glared. "Something has popped up, may I call you later...? Thank you… Yes… Ok… Goodbye." She hung up and walked over to me. "Don't you have chores, Brat?" She shoved passed me and went inside. I sighed and followed her inside.

I headed to the kitchen and took the plates to the dining table. I was taking a glass of water to the table when Saaya and Misa walked in. I slipped and dropped some of the water on Misa. She screamed and slapped me. "How dare you! I bet you did it on purpose!" She growled. Saaya snatched the glass and dropped the water on me. "Now we're even." She said as she dropped the glass and it shattered into pieces, "Clean that up will you."

They went and sat at the table as I carefully picked up the pieces of glass. A piece of glass stabbed my finger causing drops of blood to drip out. I ignored the stinging and carried on picking up the other pieces. Small cuts no longer bothered me. I heard them snickering in the background but ignored them. "Pathetic girl, can't do anything right…" Suki mumbled as she sat down.

Welcome to my life- a nightmare in reality…
