Hey new chapter!
Freedom Chapter 1
I don't own anything; I wish I had the philosopher's stone that would solve all my problems!
"I know not of humanity, but only what it looks like; based only on this alone, I pray never to become human."
- Kaye
Exert From "Monster."
"Hey Mac, I have a few questions for you," Sirius said suddenly.
My throat tightened "Li-Like what?" I stuttered out.
"Well why is a pretty, smart thirteen year old out in the world and not in the care of her father and mother?"
"I ran away," I murmured. My head was hung; I didn't want him to see the tears streaming down my face.
"Why?"
"What?"
Normally when people asked me questions like this they stopped asking when I told them I was a runaway. Stunned I was, this line of questioning was getting to personal, to real, to painful.
"I said, Mac, why did you run away from your family?"
"I had to," I hissed back.
"Tell me why, Mac," he said back. His speech was calm but demanding.
I told.
Flashback
They were going at it again. I covered my ears so I didn't have to hear my wasted father smack around my drug addicted mother.
"You piece of shit!" My father slurred out.
"Fucker! Like I need you!" Mom bellowed out.
"You need my money so you can by your pot!"
My mother screamed back and stormed out of their bedroom, and came into mine. "I'm leaving", she told me, "; you'll never see me again." She was almost out the door when she breathed out an "I'm sorry" or "Good bye" or something like that.
Bull
Total bull. She wasn't even going to remember me after she smoked some more pot. Hell, she wasn't even going to remember own her name.
I heard the front door slam and the taxi she had called speed away.
Then father came in.
"Mamas gone, you're the new bitch."
He beat me until I was crying blood. It went on like this for sometime, I don't now how long, then he kicked it up a notch. His sexual need got the better of him, and he crawled in my bed on one unusually cold fall day.
End flashback
"I left then, never to look back. I hopped a cargo boat to England, became a bounty hunter, and well here we are." I finished.
"Dear God…" he breathed out. He walked over to my location on the floor and put his arms around me.
"I'm sorry; I wish I could have done something."
"Me too."
