Disclaimer Note: I do not own any Harry Potter characters at all. They were all created by a wonderful author by the name of J.K. Rowling.
The character Sarah is my character (With my name! I've always wanted to write a book with the main char having the same name as me!), Kigi and Promessa are too. Plus a few more.
So Read and Review and enjoy!
Chapter 1
Promessa's
skin was like porclein. It clung tightly to her petite frame. Her
boney form was wrapped in an oversized blue dress. No form. No curve.
Just bone. Her thin hands were calloused and pruney, as she scrubbed
the dishes. Treating each piece of china with care. Not wanting to
brake its fragile edges. The elaborate designs of flowers painted on
its edges. Her thumb tracing over the glazed artwork that she held
tenderly. Not a sound escaping her mouth. Chapped lips were held
tightly. Almost pursed. And her straight ebony hair was tied into a
messy bun. While her body and face looked depressing, sad and
hopeless, her eyes held something she never speaked of. Bright blue
eyes the same shade as her dress. Her smooth clean hands continued to
scrub the dishes, till a pair of thicker hands took the dish out of
her hands.
The thick hands were connected to a pair of forearms
and following that were a pair of muscular arms. Along with a large
chunky body. Total opposite of hers.
"Thank you Sarah. I need
to get these done before Kigi gets home…" She said to her.
Sarah
was around thirteen. Her own blonde hair was in a messy pony tail. A
few loose strands fell in front of her hazel green eyes. Ok, so they
weren't both hazel green. One was green due to the fact it had a
relatively large scar over it. Sarah wasn't the most attractive
girl. For one, she wasn't model skinny. She had muscle. A lot of
muscle. But where they were, that just didn't work. You needed a
stick figure to fit in where she lived. That scar wasn't too
pleasing either. Sarah dipped one of the dishes in the warm water
then grabbed a sponge then silently started scrubbing. Her pace was
quick. She'd look up every now and then. Glancing out the window
into the dark night that settled in like a baby's blanket. She
dropped the chine plate into the other side of the sink while
Promessa gently set it down. She looked at Sarah. Flashing her a
friendly smile before going back and doing the dishes
again.
"Promessa…" Sarah spoke up. Dropping a dish back
into the water and looking up at her stepmother. Promessa looked at
her. Attentive on listening to what she had to say. "I… I really
want to go to that dance with Axile…" She said quickly all in one
breathe.
They just kind of stared at each other for a while.
Until Sarah let out a sigh then grabbed the dish and continued the
washing. Promessa still stared at her.
"I'd rather you stay
home. If Kigi caught you out, we'd both get punished…" She said
then gently set a plate down. Wiping the remnants off her fingers
then draining the water. She grabbed two towels and handed Sarah one.
Sarah took it and started wiping some of the dishes dry. She wiped it
harshly. Muttering something. Promessa looked at her. "What are you
saying?"
Sarah looked up at her then looked back down to her
dishes. Still wiping every last drop of water off.
"I don't
know. I don't even know what language its in. Someone said it to me
in a dream…" She said. Stopping for a minute to ponder then
continuing. Promessa scoffed.
"You always dream the oddest
things. Its no surprise…"
Sarah smiled. She did dream odd
things. She really didn't know why. One minute a closet monster
could be chasing her, the next minute shes famous and singing on
stage. But it made her unique. And obviously she stood out.
The
pair finished the dishes. Promessa wiped her hands dry and Sarah did
the same. Sarah handed her step mom the towel and she tossed it over
her shoulder. Just then the front door opened and heavy footsteps
shook the house. Kigi stepped into the kitchen where they were. His
strong thick face was once handsome and kind. But now was harsh,
criminal and sunken. Like he rose from the dead possessed with
spirits beyond negativity. Kigi dropped a very thick blood stained
sword on the table. The piece of furniture buckled under its weight.
Sarah, who carried a large sword herself, could never pick that
weapon up. It was by far too heavy. Promessa took a deep breathe then
walked over to Kigi.
"Welcome home dear-"
"DO NOT SPEAK
UNTILL YOU ARE SPOKEN TO! Bitch, we talked about this so many times
and yet you persist!" He roared at the top of his lungs. Sarah
looked up and thought she saw dust from the ceiling fan float down to
the table. She bit her lip. Ready to sprint up to her room. But
didn't. Something told her to stay. Kigi looked over at
Sarah.
"What are you looking at fatso!" He harshly yelled at
her.
Rage built up inside her but she regained her
calm.
"Nothing… sir…" She replied then lowered her head.
Putting her hands behind her bck. Not wanting him to see her clenched
fists.
"Good…" He said with a furrowed brow. Then turned to
his wife. "Now, whore, give me a kiss…"
He demanded again.
Taking her arm firmly in his left hand. Promessa just looked at him
and blinked. Then leaned up and kissed him. Trying to step back but
his large hands held her closer to him. His tongue forcefully
slipping into her mouth. Sarah watched with disgust. Then turned
around and looked outside. Watching a few lights go on. The night was
peaceful. Except in this house. Sarah turned around and started up to
her room.
"Where do you think your going. I think I should get
a kiss from my daughter too…"
"Your not my dad!" Sarah
snapped threateningly. Kigi stopped. Pushing a struggling Promessa to
the floor. Promessa hit the floor with a thud. Looking up but not
moving as Kigi made his way over to Sarah. Whom immediately backed
out of her defensive state. She stepped back a little.
"What
did you say to me… you little shit…?" He said. Moving in on
her. He was no in Sarah's face. She closed her eyes. Not able to
look in his extremely dark eyes. They were so cold. They took all
hope away. Her mind went to other things. Like Axile. Oh how she
would miss him! Then her eyes opened as she felt a sharp streak of
pain in her arm. He took it heavily. With enough power to break
through her muscle. "NEVER, SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! As long as
your in this house, under my roof, you abide by my rules. I am your
master. I may not be your real father but remember, ugly child, I
took you in. Through the kindness of my heart…"
Sarah's
heart pounded. Turning her head away. Looking at the painting that
Promessa did of a Lipizzaner stallion doing a capriole. Oh how pretty
that big white horse was. How graceful how… Sarah got yanked on
again. She was forced to look back apon the eyes of her stepfather.
Oh how she hated those eyes. And the keeper of them too.
"Im
sorry sir. Please, forgive me…" She said reluctantly. He pushed
her. But Sarah wasn't frail like Promessa, and managed to avoid the
floor. Kigi looked at her through a hateful expression. Promessa
lifted her boney frame and rushed over to Sarah. Checking her to see
if she was hurt.
"Better…" He said. His voice full of hate
and anger. "Promessa, come here…"
Promessa looked up then
obediently stepped over to the man. He touched her back lightly.
Sarah turned and started up the stairs. Not hearing any word from the
two. Her door closed with a loud slam. In a few minutes, he would be
raping her. And she didn't want to be around to watch.
