I slightly edited this chapter, from advice from Ranguvar26

I do not own anyone or anything beside Mr and Mrs Ashworth and Aella

I'd rather spend my life with you

Chapter 1-Departure of the Ashworths

The Ashworth home was considered by many as a loving home, but for those that knew the truth, is was a cruel place of torture. At night screams could be herd and during daylight there was always a deathly quiet silence settling over the house.

Aella was unfortunately born and raised from a father who murdered her mother and constantly abused his only child. Her mother was kind, sweet, sometimes a little bit crazy and someone who she always looked up to and admired. While her step mother, although in her opinion would never be classified as a mother to her, was a cold hearted person that wanted nothing more then fame, fortune and her step daughter dead.

Aella was a small petite child who wanted nothing more then to love and beloved, like the relationship she had with her mother. Often she was caught staring into space, dreaming about a life were she had a family that loved her and friends to share secrets with like all normal girls have, but as that was only a dream, it would never turn into reality and she would be stuck obeying orders for her father and step mother for the rest of her life.

While reading a book titled 'Promise me forever' a loud bellowing noise came from down stairs saying, "Aella come down here this instant and if your not here within 10 seconds then a harsh scolding will be in order." Quickly scurrying out of the attic where she had livid and into the large family room to see a rather angry looking father stand with his bare coated arms crossed in front of him.

His deathly glare coming from his onyx eyes made it that all she could do was manage to stutter out a few words saying, "y-yes f-father."

He was always pleased when she stuttered, as it meant that she had feared him and would not be as stupid as her mother to try defying him. Giving a slight satisfied smirk he replied harshly, "Your step mother and I will be going on a 2 week holiday," after a slight pause he continued saying, "during this time you are expected to keep the house clean and to not ruin anything, do you understand?", He finished with a deathly scowl plastered to his dark features.

After quickly nodding her father harshly slammed his fist to the side of her head, sending tears to strike her golden-green eyes, but not flood over, "What do we say, Aella", his deep husky voice sending shivers down her spine.

Quietly she mumbled out a, "yes sir", at this point both her teeth and fists were clenched and Aella became very agitated, but she had to try not to let her father see, as he would severely punish her.

Giving her a wide grin, he quickly strode off to gather the bags and wife and left for the car. But just before they entered the car Mrs. Ashworth calmly stated, "Aella, if even one thing is out of place when we get back, your life will surely end within a heartbeat," huffing they hoped in the car and drove off, leaving poor 14 year old Aella Ashworth all by her self.
