Kay had finally been released from the Torture Den (she had made that name up) when school had ended. The thugs had thrown her onto the ground and told her to beat it, so she did. She ran from the school grounds like lightening. All the playground facilities became a blur as Kay ran. Every part of her body felt like knives were stabbing her repeatedly, but she didn't care. All she wanted was her dad.
Kay stopped running to take a breather, and she turned to face Greenfield Primary. Hatred and misery were playing in her eyes, as she looked at the prison. Yes, Greenfield Primary was a prison, a prison she couldn't escape. Kay ran until the school was out of sight, then slowed to a walk. She wondered whether she should tell her father about the incident at school. Miss Hardcastle had drummed an important piece of advice into her class.
'If you are bullied, whether it is physically or verbally, always tell a teacher and your parents.'
Kay was all set on telling her dad, but then Matthew's jeering face leered at her in her mind. Taunting, jeering, wicked. All the things the Yatagarasu wanted to eradicate the world of. It was at that moment when Kay decided to handle the situation on her own. To make herself worthy of the Yatagarasu title, Kay would have to endure this. This would be a battle where the Little Yatagarasu would fly solo.
Kay fought back tears, and her defeated walk soon turned into an authoritative stride. Kay continued this facade up until she reached her street, 346 Truth Avenue. She ran straight up to her house, and relief washed over her when she saw her father's elegant Mercedes parked in its designated parking space. Her dad had to park at the parking slot on the right, as the other two spaces belonged to Tyrell Badd and Calisto Yew.
Kay strode up to her door and carefully took the massive key out of her hair and slotted it into the keyhole. She opened the door to reveal a grand entrance hall, adorned with paintings. Kay took her boots off in the cloakroom and walked down the red carpet, peering at all the pictures. Most of them were landscapes. Her personal favourite landscape was the one of beach with the sunset behind it. Kay loved sunsets. But Kay's favourite out of all the paintings was the painting of Byrne Faraday, Calisto Yew and Tyrell Badd all standing back to back, with serious expressions on their faces. Then there was Kay, grinning and putting up a peace sign. Kay smiled at the picture. She wasn't supposed to be in the painting, but she posed for the painting anyway.
Kay went into the living room. She loved the living room. It was messy, and it had a massive TV. Byrne was slouched over the sofa, his eyes droopy. It seemed like he was nodding off. Kay decided to give her father a wake-up call. She took in a deep breath, and-
"DADDY! I'M HOME!" Kay yelled, right into her poor unsuspecting dad's ear. Byrne woke up with a start. He saw Kay, and his startled expression turned to a weary smile. He ruffled her hair.
"How did my little Yatagarasu do at- WHAT ARE THOSE?" Byrne yelled, and gestured to Kay's bruises. Kay grinned sheepishly. Inside she was crying, but outside she was as right as rain. Kay had the perfect excuse. She twiddled her thumbs.
"Well, you know you can get those really wobbly chairs at school? Well, I had one, and I fell over so many times. Plus, I was walking on the wall, and I fell off." Kay lied right off the bat. She was relieved that her father didn't own a magic bracelet or something that allowed him to focus on her nervous habits and tell if she was lying. Byrne Faraday shook his head, and tutted.
"When will you learn to control your feet?" Byrne said, and brought Kay in for a hug. Kay hugged her dad. She felt safe now. They broke the hug, and Kay went up to her room. Byrne became lost in thought. Kay's obviously lying. Nobody bruises all around their body just by falling off a chair and a wall. Something's up, he thought.
Kay went up to her room, and sprawled across her bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, she thought. She heard her dad's voice from downstairs.
"Just to let you know that Uncle Badd and Calisto will be coming at 7!" Byrne yelled. Kay smiled. Today would be fun.
A/N- Kay didn't tell her dad. She's too strong. Thank you for your reviews! I only posted it yesterday, and I got so many! I thank all of you!
