Hey, so this is part 2 of chapter 11! Therefore it's still Lucy's POV.
Also, I got a new job hurrah! These few weeks have been trial days therefore I've been working every day so I've ended up falling asleep as soon as I got home. But I've got a day off so I can finally write, but it's going to be quite short because I don't actually have much time as I need to prepare for tomrrow. More work, yay...
So. Enjoy!
All I could do was wait. Wait for the monster I called a father. Time was ticking ever so slowly, tick tock. Minutes felt like hours, seconds felt like minutes. Gah, I don't know how much more of this I can take. But then again, being sat here is better than my dad beating the crap out of me I suppose. I guess I should make the most out of it.
Ahh.. I jinxed myself... Thunder crashed through the hallways leading up to my room. The water dripping from my hair from when I had a bath was replaced with sweat. How was he going to react to it? Would he be happier? Would he be angry? I guess I'm going to find out.
The doors to my bedroom flew open, making dints in both sides of the wall as the door made contact.
He stopped dead in his tracks, he looked at me. He blinked. He looked at me again. For a second I see his eyes soften, bus was gone as fast as it came.
"What have you done to your hair, without my permission." He spat coldly.
"I thought it would make you happier father, that you could look at me easier this way."
Yes, I dyed my hair brown. Now I don't look as much like my dead mother, maybe my father won't be as hostile towards me. Maybe. Probably not.
He grabbed me by the hair and pulled me up towards his face, I felt his breath on my neck, sending chills down my spine. He narrowed his eyes and showed off his teeth.
"What the hell was that stupid little boy doing at MY house!?" My father yelled. I cried out in pain as he yanked harder on my hair.
"I'm sorry Father, he followed me home I tried to get rid of him but I couldn't." I guess that was the wrong answer. He dropped me so that I fell to the floor with a thud, then grabbed me by the neck and slammed me against the nearest wall. I felt something crack, I don't know whether it wall the wall or my back.
"Then grow a backbone and tell him to piss off. I have not raised a weak, pathetic, spineless duaghter. Do you understand? You will be stronger, because you will be married in to this business, and if I have to beat it into you then so be it."
His grip around my neck got tighter, I could feel my breath grow rigid. I saw a hand coming towards my face, and a sharp sting following straight after. I felt my head being slammed against the wall over and over and recieving blow after blow. What in the world had I done to deserve this?
I felt a warm sticky liquid dripping down my forehead. It took me a while to realise what it was, however I had lost all of my energy to fight back, or even to cry in pain. All I could manage was a small whimper of defeat. I had lost, this is where I was going to die.
I could feel the world slipping around me, darkness invaded my vision and my ears were ringing. My god it was annoying.
I managed a quick "I'm sorry" to my father before I completely lost conciousness.
Unfortunatly that's it. A sad excuse for a chapter I know but I'm up to my eyeballs in work. I hate being an adult!
Also if you're wondering, Lucy mannaged to hide her bruises and scars at the dance by using a 'magic' concealer that her father had gotten her if ever she needed to wear a short sleeves top or something. Awh he's so kind...
So yeah, anyway, next chapter is obviously Natsu's POV, hopefully it wont be too long before it's up, and I'll try my hardest to make some time!
