Moonlight Silence
Chapter Two: The Eye of the Storm

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Serena opened her eyes, slowly. She immediately regretted doing so. The light sent a sharp pain through her head. Her entire body ached. She hated waking up like this. On the rough carpeting in her room and bleeding from cuts all over the carpeting and walls. All she wanted to do was hate the man responsible for her pain, but she just couldn't. She could never hate her father. For some reason, however, he found it was easy to hate his own daughter.
Was there something wrong with her? Was she that unimportant? It had to be something bad because he apparently saw it clearly and hated her for her imperfections.
Serena got up. Moving was painful, but she had to go to school. She wanted to get out of the house, to get away from her father. She was going to stay as far away from him as she could until her mother returned.
She walked slowly into the bathroom and took a warm bath. She loved the way the water hugged her body and eased her pain. It always seemed to relax her. She couldn't take too long a bath, however, because she still had to get ready for school.
Serena pulled her bruised body carefully out of the bathtub. She wrapped a towel around her body and headed towards her bedroom. Once in the room she took her school uniform out of the closet and pulled it on, fastening her brooch onto the small bow in the front.
Her ribs hurt more now from moving so much. Serena walked over to the dresser mirror and examined her face in the reflection. The left side of her face had a large purple bruise and was stinging like crazy.
She walked out of her room and down the stairs. She wasn't really hungry. The pain in her side made her feel like anything she ate would just be thrown back up, anyway.
She grabbed her backpack and opened the door, which groaned as she pushed it on its' rusty hinges.
"Remember," her father called as way of greeting, "what will happen if you tell any of those little friends of yours."
"Yes, sir," Serena replied as she shut the door behind her. She knew he was still partially drunk. She walked away from the house as fast as she could without causing the pain to increase.
The bright sunlight caused a sharp pain to once again shoot through her head. She pulled a pair of sunglasses from her backpack. It usually helped a little, but never did too much.
Serena made her way to Juuben High School. Each step caused pain to shoot throughout her entire body. She felt so weak.
The school building was coming into view but to Serena, it looked as though it were one hundred miles away. The walk to the two large doors was torture. Amy walked over to Serena and her face took on a look of shock.
"Serena, what happened to your face?" she asked as she eyed the large bruise on her face.
"I took a tumble down the stairs," she invented, "you know how clumsy I am," she said with a painted on smile.
"Yeah... I guess," she said, sounding unconvinced.
"Don't you like to get to homeroom early?" Serena asked, changing the subject. Amy gasped.
"Oh my goodness! I'm going to be late," Amy shrieked as she ran off. Serena smiled at Amy's distant figure which had just disappeared into the crowd of teenagers.

So what do you all think? That was the second chapter in a series of who knows how many. So far up to 6 chapters but I'm still writing so it may be longer. I'll try to get the next chapters typed up and posted on here soon Moonlight Jade
