Chapter 3: Vicky Snaps!

(Vicky is seven in this chapter.)

Today me and my cousin, Kazbar are going to go play. Kazbar is like my brother. He is a year older then me. He sticks up for me and my friends when other kids are mean to us. He's the only one brave enough to take on Garrett.

As I'm waiting for Kazbar I see Tori and Rhonda. They are busy today helping Wayer with his blacksmithing. I finally see Kazbar a few minutes later.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Papa had me busy." He apologized.

"That's alright. What do you want to do today?" I asked. "I don't have much time. My mother wants me home early.

"How early?"

"We have about an hour."

"Oh um... how about hide and seek?"

I smile big,"You beat!"

"Alright I'll hide first." He says.

"Okay.

I turned around covered my eyes and start counting. "1...2...3...4...5...6..7...8...9...10. Ready or not here I come!"

It didn't take me very long to find him. He was hiding behind a rock and I saw his tail. I had him hind one more time and again I found him easy hiding under a market stall.

"It's your turn to hind now. Vicky." Kazbar says.

"Have fun!" And I run away laughing. I am the best at hiding. One day everyone spent two hours looking for me. It was hilarious.

Kazbar just laughs and starts counting. "1..."

Before he gets to two I'm off in such of a hiding place. "I know where I'll hind!" I say aloud. Tori's family has an empty barrel outside their house and so I climbed inside of it and waited. I laugh to myself as I hear him walk by it a few times.

"Ugh fine you win I give up!" Kazbar says in defeat after quite awhile. I pop out of the barrel and walk over to where he was. "Where were you?"

"In not telling it's a secret."

"Fine have it your way. You better be going now though. It's been more then a hour."

"Oh no has it?" I gasped in horror. "I'll see you later bye!" I say and ran as fast as I could to my mother's house.

Once I get there I slowly open the door and tip toe inside as usual. Unfortunately I didn't see that there was a new rug on the floor and I tripped on it and fell into a barrel full of apples. "Crap!" I hissed to myself.

Not even 10 seconds later my mother comes running into the room,"What the fuck is your problem child!? I told you too be here early!"

"Why does it even matter? It's not like you want me here!" I snapped back at her.

She glares at me with hate filled eyes,"You should of never even been born! I hate you!"

"Yeah well I hate you too!" I yell back and stomp up the stairs as loudly as I could. There wasn't any point in being quiet now. She was going to beat me anyway weather I was quiet or not.

After sitting in my room for a couple of minutes I decided that I wasn't putting up with it today and was going to leave. I walked back down the stairs and grabbing an apple off the table ate it.

As I was eating it my mother walked into the room glaring at me.

"I'm leaving again." I said.

"No you aren't!" She snarled.

"Why not? You don't even want me here!" I yelled back.

"Why? You want to know why? Well I'll tell you why. I want to make your life as miserable as possible."

"What for?" I asked getting angrier by the minute.

"Because I hate you! You are the worst thing that's ever happened to me. You will never amount to anything. I should of just killed you when you a baby then I wouldn't have to deal with you!"

Kazbar was sitting with Tori and Rhonda who had just finished helping Wayer.

They were laughing and joking around when all of a sudden Vicky came running around the corner. "Vicky!?" Tori gasped. "What in oblivion happened?"

Vicky was covered in blood and was holding a bloody iron dagger. "Get away from me!" She screamed and ran in the opposite direction.

"Vicky wait come back!" Kazbar yelled after her.

"We better follow her." Tori said.

The three of them followed her and were shocked at what they saw.

Garrett was trying to bully Vicky as usual but she pulled the bloody dagger out and started stabbing him him with it.

"I'm going to go get my grandpa." Rhonda said and ran off.

"I'd better go and get get Valerie." Tori said and ran to go get help.

Kazbar continued to follow Vicky who hand left Garrett in a bloody mess. People were screaming while other kids were hiding scared. Vicky ran into a cow and in fury killed it. "Oh my gods." Kazbar said.

Another kid tried to stop Vicky and was stabbed as well.

"Stop!"

Kazbar looked up and saw guards coming. "What do we do? We can't kill a kid." One of them said.

"We wont. Will just knock her out."

Kazbar stood rooted to the spot in horror as Vicky charged at a guard. While she charged one of the other guards took her shield and hit her over the head with it. Kazbar gasped as Vicky stopped abruptly and fell to the ground out cold.

I woke up up with a groan. "Ouch my head! Huh?" I looked around in confusion. It took me a few seconds to realize that I was in jail. Then I panicked. "Hello! Hello! Why am I in jail!?" I yelled out. No one replied and before I know it tears were coming. I feel as if hours pasted that I don't remember.

Suddenly I hear a bunch of voices coming from the far end from where I'm at. "Vicky?"

I gasped loudly,"Valdis!"

Loud foot steps sound and suddenly I'm surrounded by most of my family. I see my step mother and start crying again,"Mama why am I in jail!"

"What do to mean? Don't you remember anything?" Kazbar asked looking at me in shock.

I looked at him more confused than ever,"Remember what?"

"I don't know why but you ran around with a dagger attacking people."

I looked at him in open mouthed shock lost for words.

"Don't you remember anything?" Valdis asks.

"No...sniff...I...sniff...don't..."

"That's not all by the way." Said Kazbar,"You also killed the Waberr's cow.

By this point I was crying too hard to even say anything. My step mother signed and said,"I'm sorry Vicky but the guards won't let me bail you out. They said a real parent has to do it."

"Olga won't do it. She says you can stay here after what you did to her hand." Monet said from where she stood next to Kazbar. "This is bad. Your father won't be back for awhile. You could be in here for weeks."

6 moons later

Robert was glad to finally be back in Cyrodiil after spending moons in Hammerfell. He was almost to the Sanctuary when he ran into his daughter Valdis. "Papa!" She signs in relief. "Papa Vicky is in jail!"

Robert frown just as Tori and Rhonda walked up to them,"Jail. How long has she been there?"

All three girl stood there quietly looking at each other.

"Well?"

Tori looked up at him,"Six moons..."

"Olga wouldn't bail her out." Said Rhonda.

"And they won't let mama do it." Valdis said. "And Monet is furious about it."

"You three stay here. I'll be back with Vicky." Robert said before angrily turning around and walking toward the jail.

I have lost track of days. I usually sit in the corner crying or laying down and ignoring people when the come to visit. Seeing my friends and families sad faces only makes me feel worse so I don't talk to them. I've lost a bunch of weight. They don't feel us that much here and what they do shouldn't even be called food.

"Vicky! Vicky!"

I sat up and ran to the cell door. "Papa!" I cried out. He was with a guard who unlocked the door. "You are free to go. Don't get into trouble or you'll up back here." He said and then walked away.

I jumped into my father's arms crying in relief. I had been starting to think I wasn't ever going to get. He carried me outside and before long we were at my mother's house. He put me down and said,"Stand next to be and don't say anything."

"Okay."

He slammed the door open and stormed into the kitchen. "OLGA!" He snarled loudly. Mother came out the back from looking annoyed,"What!?" She snapped.

"Do you mind telling me, WHY THE FUCK YOU LET OUR DAUGHTER SIT IN JAIL FOR SIX MOONS!?"

She glared at him before saying ,"Why would I bail her out after she attacked me!? She cut my arm up so bad I could of died!"

"Oh please. What did you do that she attacked you?"

"What makes you think I did anything!?"

"Became I have never seen Vicky attack anymore."

"Whatever." And with that she went back into the back room and slammed the door. My father shook his head in disgust and we walked quietly to the Sanctuary.
