1. Chapter 1

Prologue

Violet can't look in the mirror anymore because she hates who she's become. Her parents arguing is constant, their tones grow louder from under the floor boards, they are arguing about her, about everything, their failing marriage, the affair, and what ever else possible. It's been days since the affair has come to light, and her father Ben tries to explain himself. He wants to move to L.A. and start fresh. Which yet again starts another screaming match. Against the floor she can't hear exactly what they are saying, but she knows what it's about, no matter what the topic of discussion is, Vivien continues to blame Violet for her miscarriage, and she refuses to give a reason as to why. After a few more minutes of arguing, the door slams shut and something breaks, followed by the wails of her mother who she stopped trying to please long ago.

She grabs the blade beneath her bed and doesn't take precautions, she cuts her flesh in a perfect line as the maroon color swirls the length of her arm sliding down to her elbow on to the mahogany wooded floor. The color almost blends in with the background as another slice is added to the collection of old ones in her wrist. Her vision sways as heavy blotches of black block out her site.

She gets up shakily and takes a step, before slamming to the ground ignoring the blood streaming down her skin. The pain is dull and sharp at the same time. She has no time to react before her bedroom door is forced open and her mother Vivien stormed in, a bottle of scotch in her right hand. The smell of alcohol mixed with the lingering smell of blood makes Violet gag inwardly.

She doesn't feel her mother strike her. She doesn't see her mother's rage. She feels her mother's breath ragged and sharp against her ear, as she is told how worthless she is.

Violet Hamon refuses to show weakness to her mother.

After all, she isn't afraid of anything.

Hi guys! I love American Horror Story and I stumbled onto the fanfiction of them and I am so glad I did. After reading a few, I got the idea to write my own. This is the prologue, so not much is going on. But we know there will be drama!
