Cursed
My father... the enemy... the worst person in the whole wide world... the least person I would think of to seek for help... yet, here I am, standing in front of his doorstep, about to knock and to ask for shelter.
I have been thinking and rethinking, since Aiko left a few minutes ago, if I should knock or save my effort and just find a nice place to stay. If I knock, there is a possibility that my father would deny me as his daughter... he could also accept me in with much farther ado. If I find a nice place to stay, I will run out of money since no one would support me or give me allowance and there's another possibility that the government would go to my father's house and check on me. If they find me gone, they might blame my father, resulting to hating me more.
"Whatever!" I mumbled to no one in particular. I lifted my hand and curled it into a fist. I was about to knock when someone already opened the door.
"She's here!" The woman said, without the slightest bit of cheerfulness in her voice. It sounded somewhat annoyed and sarcastic.
I entered the dimly lit house, took of my coat and hung in on the coat hanger. I looked around, trying to get a better view of the house where I was about to live in.
My eyes finally adjusted in the dull light and I could make out five figures occupying two chairs in a room that seemed like a living room. First sat a man, then two women on one seat and on the other sat a tall boy and a girl at least the same age as me... If I could only make out their faces, then I would be able to describe them to you-
"Do you expect me to carry those?" The lady asked, cutting my thoughts. Her tone hasn't changed much, it still sounds as if she's talking to the most disgusting person in the whole world.
"Excuse me?" I wondered what she was talking about.
"Dear child! Listen, will you!" She cried out harshly as I received a painful slap on my arm. "Your luggage, girl! You don't expect us to carry it, don't you?"
// SLAP //
And yet, I received another slap on the same area.
"N-no!" I stuttered and left the room for a while to get my bags sited just outside the gate.
'What's wrong with that lady?' I thought as I placed my right hand over my aching arm. 'Spanking me as if I'm a pest in the house... or maybe I AM... maybe they consider me as the most disgusting thing the whole world...'
I sighed in disappointment. 'This is going to be one heck of a long summer.'
I dumped my bags in a room just by the end of the hall. It was simple and peaceful at the same time. The walls were colored in a light shade of yellow with a bed covered in matching pale blue covers.
The door was made of wood, perhaps oak, with a brass knob at the left hand side. The closet was made of the same material protected in somewhat a yellowish tint of varnish.
Slowly I began to unpack.
My room... the most solemn place I could be in... away from my father... away from the world... but still, inside a place I call home...

Chii: Okay, that's all for now... at least I uploaded two chapters in one sitting. The plot's VERY slow and I think I'd better speed things up the next chapter.
