Lily's POV

I stared silently at the wall above us, cringing slightly, every time I heard my mother, Jazmine, cry out in pain as my step-father, Henry, hit her.

In the background, you could hear my nasty step-sister, Petunia, laughing wickedly, at my mum's pain. I curled tighter into my twin, Alexandria or Alex's, side and sobbed into the darkness. I knew Alex was hurting too, but this time she had to be the strong one.

I know it sounds wrong, but every time my mother was whipped we would have to take turns on who would comfort who while the whipping was going on. Usually even if it was my turn Alex would comfort me.

Alex stroked my hair soothingly, not even bothering to whisper fake comforts in my ear. I went ahead and pressed my head against her chest, slightly calming down, listening to the soothing beat of Alex's heart.

About a few hours later we heard Henry leave with Petunia for the next maybe 2 days, like they always did. As soon as we were sure he was very far away, we ran outside to help our mother, only to see a sight that would traumatize our 9 year old minds forever.

We always knew Henry beat on our mother with whips and knives, but this time was the worst thing he had ever done to her. Her face and legs were marked from whip lines, while carved down her torso were words like "WHORE" or "BITCH".

This sight made my and Alex's blood boil, 'how dare he do this to her'. The only reason I knew what Alex was feeling was because we had this special connection that allowed us to feel our other twin's emotion, see each other's dreams, and sometimes see through the other twin's eyes.

It was both creepy and wonderful.

Anyways, if you want to continue reading this and not thinking we are freaks you should know this. Mum, Alex, and I are witches.

That is the reason why Henry beats on Mum, because he wants to be in control, he wants to feel secure and think everything is in order. That is the only reason we haven't retaliated, is because Mum thinks that it isn't fair to use magic against Muggles (non-magical folks) since they have no way to fight back.

We have been learning magic ever since we knew how to talk, walk, and read. We learned different things from simple cleaning spells to patronuses. Mum was very enthusiastic about learning and boy did she imprint that on us.

From all of our studies we know French, Latin, and Spanish; how to do advanced potions, spells, we were intermediate at Occlumency and Legilimens. This is all in addition to that weird twin connection we said about earlier. We didn't get to attend Muggle School because Henry thought we might meet someone and tell them what was happening to us.

Back to the present, we used all of our strength to pull mum off the ground and drag her to our bedroom for her to get some sleep.

As soon as we heard light snores, we went back to the living to clean up.

"Do you think it's gonna get worse?" I asked Alex. She had the saddest look on her face that I had ever seen. This worried me because through all of this Alex was the strongest. She pulled through anything and rose to the top.

"Yes"

I barley heard what she said because it was so quiet. Suddenly we both started crying, we ran towards each other and cried together for what seemed like hours.
