It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing
Chapter 7
Elena would never forget this night for as long as she lived, because it was the night that she finally fought back. Her mother was dragging her back home when she finally thought this. She hated her mother. Elena finally felt as if she was normal and here was her mother trying to force her back into her old one. Not today.
She struggled to get out of her mother's grasp as she clawed at her arm and did everything she could to get her to let go. Her mother opened the door and threw her to the ground. Elena grunted, but she refused to let her mother get the best of her.
As soon as her mother got near her, Elena kicked up and made a swift kick to her mother's croutch. She grabbed at it howling in pain as Elena got up and ran to the bathroom locking the door in the process. She looked at herself in the mirror as the rambling at the door stopped. Elena went over to the door and unlocked it.
It proved to be a bad decision when her mother threw her into the mirror head first. Elena cried out as her mother turned her around putting her hands around her neck and squeezing. She coughed as her mother brought one of her hands across her face in a punch.
"You ungrateful bitch. I'll make you pay."
Elena gasped for air as her hands searched around. Her hand finally clenched across what she needed as she plunged the piece of mirror into her mothers neck. Her mother fell to the floor screaming and trying to get the piece of mirror out.
Elena ran to the door, but was tossed to the floor. Her mother stood there with the piece of mirror still in her neck. Elena tried to get away but her mother pulled her to her by her foot and climbed on top of her chocking her again.
Elena tried to fight back, but her mother was too strong,
"Whose laughing now you stupid little bitch that I should have swallowed. I didn't want you in the first place, but now i'm going to correct that mistake. Bye Bye little girl."
That's when a true miracle happened. One minute Elena's mother was on top of her and the next she was on the ground. Damon stood there with a frying pan in his hand. He had swung it with such froce that her mother had been knocked out. Thank God.
Elena pulled air into her lungs as Damon slid his hands underneath her body carrying her out of the house and into his car.
"Don't worry Elena. I'm going to get you to a hospital and after you get out I'm taking you back to my house. You'll never have to see that monster again."
Elena grabbed her throat. She had a feeling this was far from over.
