Sakura's story
This day is not going well, it started off badly and went downhill from there. When I woke up it was raining outside, I mean seriously how can a day start off well when it raining? But anyway first things first my name is Sakura which means cherry blossom in Japanese, I am called this because I am ½ Japanese and ½ Mokummer which is someone from Mokum which is the popular nickname for Amsterdam for the locals. I live there with my father Jacob, my mother is Japanese and she is called Kiko. I don't see her anymore because although my mum and dad are both savants they weren't soulfinders and dad just slowly got darker and crueller as the years went by, he began beating mum but he never laid a hand on me while she was there. One day she came back and told me she was leaving and to get my stuff together, turned out she had found her true soulfinder. But dad found us trying to sneak out of the house and grabbed my hair and threatened to kill me if she didn't leave me with him. She was forced to abandon me but promised that she would come back for me, so now I am waiting in the hell that my life as become since she left. I should probably explain to you about my powers, my mum can control wind and breezes and my dad is skilled at telekinesis and telepathy (more so than normal savants) but me, I can control nature, I can talk to plants and animals and get them to do what I want, I can also absorb energy from nature around me. But anyway why this day was so bad is because I woke up to the cheerful tones of my father yelling at me to get my lazy ass out of bed. One I got downstairs he told me I was working the 9pm-1am shift at his bar, I was aghast I hate working at his bar, we all have to wear ridiculous costumes and there are very often extremely drunk males which I have to try and avoid the attentions of. Also every one stares at me because I am so short (4ft 2 when I last checked) so I have to wear really high heels to see over the bar which means I get blisters on my feet. I short it is hell and my dad knows I hate it, which is why he makes me work there. I can't argue with him because that would just result in a beating, still I decide to try.
'But dad please I the it there' he advances on me and I realise it would have probably have been more sensible to keep quiet
'Are you questioning me girl?'
'No I'm not I swear'
'I think you are bitch and we all know what happens to girls who don't do as they are told' and with that he reaches out and slaps me across the face. I stumble and once I'm on the floor he kicks me a couple of times. It wasn't has hard as he could of done it which means this isn't a punishment it's a warning
'You can go without food for the rest of the day as a reminder' he tells me. I gulp, I haven't had anything to eat since yesterday lunch and that was a piece of bread. I am already so thin you can see my ribs poking out from my stomach but I decide not to push the issue as I have already had one beating today. With a sigh I pick myself up and head up to my room wishing I had away out of this hell hole or that my soulfinder would come and save me and whisk me away
