The Life of the Unwanted
Chapter One: The begining.
Dark storm clouds rolled over head and rain splattered down onto the roofs of the small town in England. Lightning flashed and thunder banged through the night. Two young girls sat on a swing, watching the storm pass through their village. All was silent between the two, not one single word was spoken, until a bolt of lightning shot down an old oak tree. One of the girls screamed and ran towards their large house in search of the security of her mother's arms. The other stayed outside watching the flames dance on the branches and the smoke fly into the dark sky. She heard her sister scream again and looked towards the house. She sat straight up as she heard the blood curdling sound once more. She ran towards the voice and found her sister being chased by her mother. In the mother's hand was a butcher knife. She ran madly after her child. The knife already had a light layer of blood on it, but it was her own. Deep gashes showed on her right wrist, and blood ran down. The mother let out a crazed yell and the sisters ran out into the raging storm.
Lucifera Blackflame sat up on her bed and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Toshi? Are you awake? I had the dream again." she said as she searched the darkness for her sister. The dream she spoke of was the remnants of her terrible past, the story behind the scars on her back. The reason she hadn't had a decent nights sleep in several hard months.
"I'm awake,sis, Was it bad?" Toshi answered. Her sister and her know lived far away from their mother. They lived with their grandmother in France. Their mother was in jail as was their father, if that's what you could call him.
"Yea" the other girl said quietly as she brought her knees up to her chest and sighed. She looked at the clock by her bed. It was almost 5:00 A.M. She got up and looked out the window.
The moon was setting slowly and the sun was coming up. The stars had begun to fade and already her grandmother was outside feeding the cattle. Her grandfather was long deceased, and her grandmother ran the small farm on her own, save for the help she got from her grand daughters. Lucifera let the curtain go and the room was immediately black again. She tripped and stumbled over to the large dresser on the other side of her and her sister's room. She opened the drawers in search for the day's outfit and her sister followed in suit. Toshi opened the window to let in some air. Her grandmother yelled up to her.
"Good morning Cathrine, you and your sister get out here and help with the mornin' chores. We can run into town if you'd like." her grandmother said kindly.
"Ok Gram! We'll be down in a bit!" Toshi replied happily. Lucifera joined her and the two ran down the stairs and out into the yard. They ran to their gram and started their work. Soon they were off to town for a day of shopping.
