Crimson Storm

Chapter 4

Cloud slowly made her way towards the living room. Her father was sitting on the couch looking into space, he heard her walk in and looked up. He gave her a glare and motioned for her to walk towards him, Cloud slowly with caution walked to her father and stood in front of him. She gave him a blank look, deep down she was shaking with fear. She looked on the floor to see his briefcase on the floor and papers scattered everywhere.

"Cloud, how was your first day of school?" he asked in an awfully sweet voice.

Cloud looked at him, she studied his features to see if he was alright or not. Yep, he was drunk.

"It went perfect," Cloud responded carefully.

"That's great to hear, come here so I can give you a hug," he opened his arms wide waiting for Cloud to just forget the hell she was living and run up to him.

"I have dinner to make," Cloud said with a wince when her dad stood up.

"You don't love me like I do? I gave you everything," he shouted grabbing a vase and throwing it at her.

Cloud tried to get out of the way, but the vase hit the side of her head, a small cut was on her right eyebrow. A small amount of blood trickled down her face, Cloud touched her wound flinching a bit at the sting. She looked up at her father with wide eyes as he stood up and stumbled towards her. Cloud tried to run, but slipped with the many papers on the floor. Her father grabbed her by her long hair and dragged her towards the basement where it was her punishing area. Cloud tired to struggle out of her dad's hold, but he was too strong for her.

Her father threw her inside and grabbed something from the coffee table's drawer. Cloud was on the floor trying to stand up as quck as she can before her dad came back inside. She hated this place with a passion, her father would usually just dump her there when she was younger. She had to lie to Zack that she wasn't feeling all to good when her dad locked her away for a couple of days. She was in the middle of getting up when she felt a foot pushing her down again, face smacking the floor. She turned around to see her father with ropes in his hands, they were the thin types. She tried to look for an exit anything to help her get out of this hellhole.

Cloud felt her father slap her with the rope. Once, twice and three times marking her cheeks with angry red lines making her dizzy. He took the advantage and dragged her to a chair in the corner, he sat her down with full force with a psychotic smile on his face. He tied her wrists first making the rope tight around her to leave marks on her pale skin. He then began to tie her up very tight so it would be hard for her to get out of her punishment for not hugging him. He caressed her marked cheeks as if he was proud of her for winning an award.

Cloud's dizzy mind cleared and relaized what her father was doing to her, she jerked her head to one side and glared at her father. She tried to give him the most hatred look she could ever muster. She watched her father smile very sweetly and leaned down to kiss her cheek. Cloud began to shake her head, but her father caught her and kissed her cheek and the spot where she was still bleeding. She felt vile rising up in her throat and held it in hell knows what else would happen if she pissed her fahter even more.

"I love you Cloud, sleep tight for the next couple days," he smirked and left locking the door on his way out.

Cloud sighed and sat there, she couldn't move due to the ropes that were tight on her slim body. She felt the blood drip down to her clothes, great now her shirt was ruined. She had to put it back on when she heard her father yelled at her. She closed her eyes as sweet black waters took her.

^v^v^v^

It has been two days since Leon hasn't seen Cloud. He heard his brother, who heard it from Demyx who heard it from Axel, who heard it from the principle that had a phone call while Axel was there that Cloud was sick. Leon wasn't worried, no, he just...wanted to know if she was okay. He walked towards his next class with Roxas, he was keeping a very close eye to his brother. He saw Sora talking to Demyx and laughing at the same time, Leon rolled his eyes, if it wasn't for his stupid second grade teacher-who flunk him, then he would have been a senior.

The day passed and Leon couldn't wait to go home and be lazy. He spotted his baby sister walking with a familiar platinum-blonde, the platinum-blonde did most of the talking while Olette tried to look interested. Leon made eye comtact with her, she had a worry look on her eyes. He made a reassuring face, she smiled at him and walked up to him. The blonde girl next to her smiled up to the older teen.

"Hello Leon," Naminé smiled looking up at the tall man.

"Hey,"

"Leon, I need to take these papers to Cloud... it's homework and notes." Olette said looking at him with wide eyes knowing it will work.

"You want me to bring them to her?" Leon asked.

"Of course not, I was asking for a ride, I got her adress." Olette rolled her eyes with a hidden smile. Leon rolled his eyes just as she finished rolling hers, Roxas walked next to them stopping right next to Naminé.

"Roxas go with her," Leon said with a frown upon seeing Roxas having this look next to Naminé.

"I was going with Sora and Axel, they were going to go pick up Axel's friend that is coming from Destiny Islands. I wanted to go, why can't you take her." Roxas accused with a small glare.

"I'm driving all of you, hell knows what's going to happen if I let you go with them. You'll probably dump Sora on this friend while you guys find a place to screw each other." Leon said crossing his arms.

"Fine, I'll go. You owe me," Roxas huffed crossing his arms making Naminé giggle a bit.

Leon took his keys out of his front pocket, Olette smiled and knew he will take them. They said their farewell to Naminé as they headed out leaving the girl to walk to her own car. Leon got inside the driver's seat, Roxas in the passanger's and Olette sitting in the back with a pout. Roxas began to text his man that he couldn't make it to meet his friend, Leon smirked when Roxas pouted as well. He heard Olette's directions while he drove to their destination, the drive was quiet since Sora didn't joined them. He was the loudest one of them all, Roxas is second when Axel is trying to grope him, then Olette and last, himself.

They arrived to the house, it was a two-story home with huge windows in the front, marble stairs, a small bird bath stood next to a huge tree. It looked all normal, but a little too expensive. He shrugged waiting for them to get out so he could go home, and be lazy. He saw Olette waving at him putting her thumb and pinky out singaling that she'll call him. Nodding, he left.

Roxas began to knock to get this over with, the door opened a while later revealing a man with light brwon hair and violet eyes. He looked like he just woke him up, Roxas half glared and pushed Olette towards him. She scowled and looked at the man with a smile.

"Hi, we're friends of Cloud. I know she's sick we just came by to give her her homework and notes. Don't want her to fall behind her studies, now do we." Olette said handing them the papers.

^v^v^v^ (before the arrival of Roxas and Olette)

Cloud was now in the living room, scared of her father. He held a cable cord up in the air and brought it down on Cloud's bare back. She tried to scream, but couldn't as a rag and duct tape were preventing her from it. Small trails of blood seeped down her marked back, looking up to the man who held the biggest smile ever. He kept hitting and hitting her until he got tired, by then Cloud's back was marked with angry red lines and blood trailed down to her skirt. He smiled kneeling down, he kissed her cheek.

"I love you Cloud, remember that. I do this because I will always love you." He smiled getting up and left to his room to take a nap.

Cloud was left on the wooden floor in her own blood. She was crying wishing she died right there and then. Her necklace was shining, blood was splattered on it, her earing also had blood, Cloud just cried as she tried to move. She was about to get up when there was knocking on the door. She tried to get up quickly before her dad beat her to it, if she could get up and run for help for whomever was outside the door. She flinched while getting up, reopening her wounds with a hiss she limped making her way towards the door.

Her dad caught her tied her up, he picked her up making Cloud scream from pain on her back. He climbed up the stairs and trew her intto the bed, Cloud bounced once and cried from the pain as blood was coming out of the cuts. She wanted to get out of this mad house knowing her dad he would have people watch over her. Cloud silently cried as darkness crept over her.

^v^v^v^ (back to the others)

"Alright, I'll give them to her," he said with annoyence.

"Before we leave can we see her?" Olette asked looking worried.

"No, bye." he shut the door leaving both teens in shock.

"Bitch," Roxas glared while giving the door his middle finger.

Olette rolled her eyes, something must have happened to Cloud. She had that hinky feeling, what if her dad is covering for her? Olette wanted to punch the door open and go check if Cloud is fine, once she sees that the blonde is fine, Olette will let it go. Roxas on the other hand felt the same as his sister, he didn't want to leave and pretend everything was peachy. No, he wanted to investigate.

"Up for snooping," he said looking around to see that the neighbors are not home.

"Sure, as long as we don't get caught." Olette said.

They walked around the house to see if they could see anything out of the ordinary, Roxas jumped the wooden fence going to the backyard. Olette had to climb up with the help of the trash bins. Roxas noticed pure white curtains with an open window. He saw white plain walls, there must be a mistake? Where was Cloud's room? There were three windows, one huge window that had a nook on the inside, it was open and he wanted to check it out. He climbed up right to a tree that was next to the open window. He almost reached the top when he saw the window was shut closed and the curtains closed. Roxas glared as he saw the man's figure leaving the room, he then saw Cloud on the bed with the covers over her small body.

"Let's go, I couldn't see anything," Roxas held his sister's hand in his and walked out of the yard.

Olette didn't say anything else as they were climbing the fence to get out of there. She sent one last look at the house, her eyes widened when they saw a pair of amethyst eyes watching them. Roxas looked up just as the man looked away, he narrowed his eyes and climbed the rest of the fence as he finished helping his sister. Something wasn't right. They will find out, tell Leon maybe he could help.

So how was it? I hope none of you all hate me for making Cloud live one hell of a life. Please review. With lots of love-Roxy.
