Chapter 3

Crystal was in her room, sitting up; awake. The sun was slowly rising, seeing as it was morning already. She was positioned on the top part of her bed, leaning against her bedpost. Her arms were crossed limply, and her legs were criss-crossed. She was wearing light pink pajamas. The lights were dim, but good enough to see her.

Her eyebrows were furrowed with thrustration, and her mouth was formed in a frown. She looked to be in deep train of thought, and not to mention very tired.

She was having second thoughts about joining that biker gang with her friend. Sure, it would take her away from her parents, but for how long? There was always a possibility their parents could try and track them down. So...what if they found Chris and her? They would most likely abuse them more than ever. That scared Crystal really bad. She did not want them to do that. And on top of their parents beating them, they might allow their friends to join in.

Crystal sighed, realizing that she had to take a chance at this. It was her only chance, and she could not back down or this would never end.

Suddenly, her alarm clock went off, which was placed on her nightstand that was placed beside her bed. The clock read 7 am, as it flashed repeatidly with the color red.

Crystal immediatly jumped out of her bed, knowing her parents, if they were asleep, would have been awoken by her alarm clock and be running into her room soon to make sure she was up and awake. If she was not, they would often beat her. And she knew she did not want that whatsoever.

She trudged over to her closet sleepily, grabbing an already layed out pair of clothing which consisted of a black skin tight shirt and skin tight blue jeans.

She hastily clothed herself, and walked over to her door tiptoeing.

Once she reached the door, she slowly grabbed the doorknob, and gently twisted it open, causing the door to slowly creak open on it's own. That caused a shiver to travel up Crystal's spine, giving her a scary sensation that someone was close by. She ignored that feeling though, and pushed the door more open with her right hand. She silently creeped out of her room with a concentrated look on her face to not awaken her parents or even the guests, which had just dawned on her.

Suddenly, as she turned the corner to the hallway, a shadowy figure of a man shown coming up the other corner ; His feet causing the floorboards to creak every time he took a step.

Crystal gasped unknowingly, and slowly took a couple steps backwards to her room, not turning around so she could have the ability to run faster. Her heartbeat began to increase a thousand fold as the man turned the corner, to reveal Chaase.

Chaase grinned sadistically at Crystal, his arms were deep inside his pockets, and his head was tilted sideways, as if he was curious about something.

"Hello, Crystal."Chaase greeted Crystal, advancing towards the backing up Crystal.

"What do you want?"Crystal growled at Chaase as she suddenly realized she had backed up past her room's door and against the wall.

It took Chaase a couple of seconds before responding to say."To help your mother punish you."

Crystal gulped as she pressed up against a corner of the wall, huddling her hands up against her smal chest. "How?"She asked, fearing the answer.

"I was'nt exactly thinking of hurting you...but other...things."Chaase answered Crystal as he stopped in front of Crystal, smirking down at the innocent young teenager.

A sudden idea popped into Crystal's head so she could get away from her stalker. She suddenly raised her right foot from the ground, and thrusted it inbetween Chaase's leg, a wide open area.

Crystal took no time in running away from Chaase, swerving away from his doubled over form as he grabbed at his area.

She took no time in grabbing any of her belongings for school, and ran as fast as she could down the stairs, her heart pounding through her chest.

Once Crystal reached the downstairs living room, she was immediatly greeted by both of her parents, whom were standing a couple feet from the stairs, causing her to bump into her mother, jarring her backwards a little. She suddenly stumbled backwards to far, causing her to trip over the stairs, ending in her tumlbing onto her back. She scowled in pain as she hastily pushed herself back up to her feet.

She took a good look at her parents to realize they were both looking very angry. Her mothers hands were on her hips, and her fathers arms were crossed smugly as he stared down at his daughter with a look of anger.

"Please let me go to school!"Crystal begged, and after a few minutes of her parents not responding, she added."Where is my brother?"

"He is staying home today. You are going to school. Not him."Her father answered nonchalently.

"Why?"Crystal asked as she began to feel nervous.

"Because this is the day he gets what he deserves. Today is centered around his punishment. Tomorrow is yours."Her mother answered as a sick smile formed on her lips.

"But what did he or i do?!"Crystal backfired as anger began to control her once monotone voice.

Nieither of her parents responded to her, but instead her mother advanced for to her daughter. She drew her hand back, and thrusted it sideways quickly, slapping against Crystal's pale cheek.

The force of the slap caused Crystal's head to jerk to the side, but she quickyl regained herself and repositioned her face in front of her mother. "Why do you hit on us?! What is wrong with you?! We have done nothing wrong to you! Why?! Tell me! We have done nothing to d-"Crystal was suddenly shut up by a backslap from her mothers open palm.

A red tint began to form on Crystal's pale cheeks, as her head jerked the other direction. This time, she made no effort to position her head back to normal, as she figured that would only trigger her mother to slap her again.

"Do not talk to me in such a manner young lady!"Her mother snapped at her as her eyebrows furrowed in frustration.

Crystal scowled, and a look of defiance formed on her face as she slowly turned her head to her mother."Shutup."Crystal growled, narrowing her eyes at her mother.

Suddenly, her father joined in. He walked towards Crystal and her mother, blocking Crystal's escape route. He looked down upon his daughter, and corrected her."Do not disrespect us."

"Shutup! I'm tired of you treating us this way!"Crystal growled at her father, anger replacing her fear and causing her to lose control.

Before her father could pull a punch on his daughter, one of their friends came up behind him. The man looked totally wasted, as he was holding a beer in his hands.

"Need a hand James?"Her father's friend offered, leaning against the wall and staring at Crystal menacingly.

"No thanks, but you can watch."James answered as he smiled down at his daughter.

A sudden bang against the floorboard caused Crystal to jerk her head sideways. She saw Chaase walking down the stairs with an angry look placed on his face."You stupid little bitch."He growled at Crystal as he stopped dead right behind her."Are you going to take care of this bitch? Or may i do the honors?"

Crystal's mother looked up in thought before answering to say."How about we all three do so? What has she done to anger you?"

"She fucking kicked me in my nuts!"Chaase answered angrily as he reached his hand out and grabbed Crystal by the hair, yanking her up against his chest against her will.

Crystal's hair was being tugged so tightly, that her head was being forced a little backwards, causing her to stare up into the eyes of Chaase's, to see anger in them. With his free hand, he raised it above Crystal's stomach, and clenched it up into a fist tightly. He, after gaining some momentum, slammed the fist down upon her gut, causing her body to react in trying to double over. But she could not, for she was being held in a secure, and not to mention painful position.

"Stop!"Crystal pleaded as she raised her hands up to the back of her head, grasping onto Chaase's hand that was yanking her hair.

Chaase lowered his mouth down to Crystal's right hand which was trying to cause his hand to let go of her hair, and bit down on one of her fingers.

Blood soon began to ooze out of her finger, causing a low pitched scream to escape Crystal's lips. She immediatly reacted with drawing her hand back down to her side.

Chaase suddenly let go of Crystal's hair, and pushed her forward, causing her to slam into her father's chest, which also caused her to almost fall backwards. But her father reached out and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, holding her up in an uncomfortable position, which also was causing her to choke.

Crystal reached up with both hands, grasping onto her father's hands desperately that were holding onto the collar. She began to gag. She uneasily gripped onto her father's hands.

Suddenly, she was able to get him to release her. She slammed to the ground on her behind, on one of the stairs, causing pain to shoot through her entire body. She winced in pain briefly before gazing upwards at her parents. A daring look seemed to be evident on her face. She began to grit her teeth in anger, and attempted to push herself back up to her feet, but Chaase pushed her onto the carpet, causing her to roll onto her back.

Before she could do anything to react, she recieved a punishing stomp to her gut, causing her to drop totally to the ground; defenseless. Her body was sprawled on the carpet as she gazed directly upwards at her attackers. She desperatly gasped for air, as her body ached.

The foot stayed placed onto her gut, not letting off. She realized her father's friend had done it, and was snickering lowly as he stared right back at her.

"I'm surprised Chris is not awake from all the noise we've been forced to make."Her mother growled angrily as she stared down at her daughter.

"Yes...about him...why don't we let him go to school today and instead let our daughter take his place for the day? After all, it would been too evident that has went on at home. And knowing this stupid bitch she would probably tell someone."Her father offered, smiling wickedly down at his daughter.

Crystal did not wish for her brother to face the wrath of her parents, so half of her felt relief, while the other felt fear. She did not know how to react, nor what to say. So all she could do was just lay there, listening to her tormentor's converse.

"I like that idea."Her mother agreed."Go wake Chris up for me, will you Chaase?"

Chaase nodded, and walked down the stairs, purposely bumping his foot against Crystal's head, causing her to cringe. Her eyes followed Chaase until she could no longer see him out of the corner of her eye. As soon as he left eyesight, her father said something to her.

"Get up."

"If...he gets his foot off me..i might be able to..."Crystal huffed as she spoke, struggling.

The man slowly removed his foot from Crystal's gut, and awaited for her to do as her father told her to do.

Crystal pushed herself up into a sitting position, and then grabbed onto a nearby object to pull herself up the rest of the way. She wobbled a little, and felt realy shaky in her legs. She could barely stand, so she decided to lean her side against the staircase railing.

"Now go to your room. We'll be up in a couple minutes- after your brother has left."Her father commanded, turning his back away from his daughter, along with his friend and wife.

Crystal grunted as she limped slowly up the stairs, one eye closing on her. But she eventually made it up to her room, and opened the door easily.

She slammed the door shut, and desperatly locked it. She walked over to her bed, and plopped down on it onto her back, listening quietly to the conversation going on downstairs.

"Where's my sister?!"Demaded a voice that was obviously her brother.

"She's taking your place today and staying home to take a beating!"Snapped a voice that sounded to be her mother.

"No!"Her brother's voice sounded again.

"Leave now! Or you both shall be staying home tonight!"A voice that was deep yelled.

"Fine then!"Her brother's voice shrieked in defeat.

Crystal then heard pounding feet against the floorboard, as her brother was obviously running out the door. Eventually, she heard the front door slam shut, signaling her brother had left for school.

She sighed, causing a pain to throb through her, also causing her to wince. She began to feel her eyes watering, causing her sight to blur momentarily.

Her body began to shake heavily, as muffled noises began to vibrate through her covered mouth. Suddenly, her tears could not longer be held in, and she bursted into tears. "It's not fair!"She murmured under her breathe with her shaky voice.

She hated it! She hated it all! It hurt so much. Her parents were not supposed to be doing this to her brother or her. They once were caring parents though. So why the change? Why could'nt she harden her heart and just not cry? For once! Maybe she would only be suffering physical pain instead of both physical pain and emotional pain.

Suddenly, a loud bang against her door caused her to jump slightly. She ignored her pain, and pushed herself into a sitting position with her hands behind her holding her up. She gulped, trying to swallow the pain away that she was recieving both emotionally and physically.

"Open the god damn door!"Her father shouted through the door, slamming his side against the door again, but this time with much more force.

Crystal wondered if she should obey her father. She knew he would eventually find a way to open the door. But he would most likely lash out at her the second she unlocked the door, for her was much harder to dodge than her mother.

"N-no!"Crystal shot back shakily.

"Your dead once i open this door Crystal!"Her father yelled, slamming his body against the door harder, causing the doorknob to wobble.

Crystal's eyes began to widen as she noticed the doorknob wobbling. A sudden idea came to her, as if a miracle.

Crystal hastily pushed herself off her bed, and limped over to the window. She was in no shape to try and go down that many stories, so she was going to do something different. She grabbed the end of the window, and pulled it open. She twisted her body around and picked up a piece of clothing. She threw it out the window, causing it to float down to the ground.

She, without looking back at the clothing, limped backed over desperatly to her closet. Luckily, her closest floor had nothing covering it, so she could easily fit in it. She ducked into it, and grabbed the doorknob, shutting the door on her. She clicked the lock, locking the door on her. She grabbed onto the metal pole that held up her clothing, and pressed her right foot up against the wall in front of her. She pulled herself up in the air with her right foot and arms. She then pushed her left foot up against the back of the wall, climbing up to her shelf. She let go of the metal pole with both hands, quickly leaning on the shelf, helping her pull the rest of her body onto it.

It took alot of strength to do that, causing her to breathe heavily from all the beatings she had already been taking today. She leaned back, getting as far back as she could against the wall. A shiver traveled down her spine as she heard her door smash open, vibrating through the whole house.

She gently closed her eyes, and brought her hands together in a prayer.'Oh please God...help him not find me!'

She heard heavy footsteps walking hurriedly in her room. She could hear her father picking things up, looking under things to see if she was there. But all that stopped when she heard him shut the window."She better not have!"

She heard his footsteps walking hastily and angrily towards her closet door. After a couple seconds of no noise, the door of the closet swept open to reveal light shining from within her room.

"There you are!"Her father said in accomplishment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris walked over to Teresa, who was leaning against the locker, talking with her boyfriend.

"Hey."Chris greeted, sounding quite serious.

"Oh hey! Where's your sister at?"Teresa asked, sounding sincerely concerned.

Chris lowered his head down briefly before responding and answered Teresa lowly."That is what i wanted to tell you. I don't think we can try and join the gang today...because...our parents wanted her to stay home today."

Teresa made a weird face, and then said."Why?"

"They wanted her to study..."Chris lied, averting his gaze from Teresa so she would not tell he was lying.

"Well...then why don't we just try and sneak her out of yalls house today after school today?"Teresa offered.

"That sounds like a good idea...but...how?"Chris asked.

"Well...maybe we could call her cell phone. She still has one does'nt she?"Teresa asked.

"Yea, she does."Chris then added."But what does that have to do with helping her out?"

"Well...we can call her and tell her what to do or something like that..."Teresa answered.

"Oh, i see. Well, maybe we can find a way to climb up to her room and get her back outta there without our parents noticing."Chris thought up real quickly.

"Yes!"Teresa agreed."But let's talk about this more after school, okay?"

"Alright."Chris agreed as the bell sounded through the hallways."Gotta go to class, see ya later."
