"One two three four" I spun gracefully embodying the White Swan. It's pure graceful wings enveloped my soul meshing its graceful soul into my body, my tiny legs gracefully and beautifully moved. My head felt dizzy as the lights blared in my face I kept murmuring to myself as I moved. Crowds of people and parents lined the auditorium. My mother held a seat in the front row wiping a tear from her face as she clapped. I smiled gracefully coming to a halt and preforming one last spin beofe closing my pure ivory silk wings. The crowd cheered as red crimson roses were thrown.
"I'm perfect" My vision started to blur, "perfect" my words slurred as I hit the ebony stage hard.
"MY BABY! SOMEBODY HELP MY BABY!" People screamed but not as loud as my mother. My head spun as darkness filled the void in my vision. I could still feel and hear everything going on around me. My dull unconcious tiny body could feel the forceful shaking and warm tears hit my face.
"She just passed out ma'am. Step back this should bring her back to concouisness"
A smelly foul scent filled my nostrils I nearly choked as I wheezed. With every wheeze my vision undarkened. The dull flash of the lights came back as I stated into my mother's wet blue eyes. She smiled relived. Gripping me in a tight embrace.
"Has she eaten ma'am in the last few hours?" A polite middle aged Hispanic man dressed in a dark suit asked as he used a tiny flashlight to check my eyes.
"I don't know." My mother gasped.
"I didn't want to be full when I preformed so I skipped a few meals. I'm sorry mommy I just wanted to be perfect for you." I sobbed. "Was I perfect?"
"You were perfect but Oh my god... this is my fault I pushed you too hard. I'm so sorry my kitty Kat I promise to never push you again. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry" She held me tighter crying. "I won't push you again. I won't. I'm sorry"
"Katherine! Katherine! Katherine!"
That voice keeps calling me. Who's calling me. I peered over the stage over the crowds of loud people. Why can't I find who's calling me? "Mommy who's..."
"Hmm five broken cracked ribs, broken jaw bone, busted lip, nasty gash on head, fractured tibia and a broken arm. Hmm need more stitches. Be right back."
"You are my sunshine, my only make me happy, when skies are never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away" A raspy voice chuckled as it sang.
My eyes shot open as the world appeared in my line of vision. My arms and legs were strapped to a cold metal operating table. It felt cool against my uncovered skin I had on only a bra and undies. The dull operating light buzzed as I turned to glare at the monster I hated with every fiber of my being.
"You woke up Sunshine. I was starting to think that you would never wake up. You've been in lala land for three days. I was going to bury you.. well after experimenting on you first" Snake chuckled narrowing his eyes.
"Go die in a ditch. If I could move... I would cut that tongue of yours out and guage your pitiful serpant eyes out" I growled. It hurt to talk or breath.
"Still haven't broken your spirit yet! Tsk tsk tsk a shame. How about we start operating shall we?" He hissed as he picked up something from underneath the operating table. I struggled but I was stuck held back by the metal cuffs and chains of the operating table.
"Going to act like a disobedient child I'll treat you like one" He snickered picking out a huge scolderig hot branding iron. The heat radiating off the branding iron made me feel nauseous. "This is the brand of our occult. A true honor. One undeserving for a disobedient brat such as yourself." He hissed bringing it closer to my exposed flesh. "This will only sting a bit" He chuckled forcing the scolderig hot branding iron onto my skin. The smell of burning flesh fumed and my flesh sizzled as instant excruciating pain gripped my ribs.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" My lungs bursted into long fitted screams as he pressed the iron down harder. His eyes showing his delight as he kept burning my flesh. "Done" He chuckled removing the iron. My arms and legs struggled under the chains as my left rib still burned as if the branding iron was still placed in that very spot.
"You... bastard" I hissed under gritted teeth. I tried to hold in my worn down tears as I struggled to free myself so I could choke this foul beast and end even a small piece of my misery.
"Hey Snake quit messing with my patients" Another hooded memeber appeared lifting up her face mask to munch on a sandwich. Her red lips pursued with every bite as her hazel eyes twinkled with annoyance. She moved a strand of short ebony hair from her face.
"I wouldn't have to if you weren't to busy snacking like a pig, Eve. Did they run out of apples?" He snickered.
"Bastard next time I will snip yours off." She snapped stuffing the last piece in her mouth. "Besides its and I don't take apples from snakes. We all know how that one ends" She winked and chuckled before moving a strand of loose hair off my eyes. "Your a cute little rich girl aren't you?"
"Shut up you... bitch" I growled through gritted teeth my rib still burned from the wound.
"Why do you call this one sunshine? She's so crabby. I should have uped her meds. And... oh yeah Father's calling you"
"I call her Sunshine because of her bright strawberry blonde hair. I hate goodbyes especially since we are having so much fun. Bye Sunshine. Hope you enjoy your new tattoo" Snake snickered before leaving.
"What an ass. Anyway I'm going to put you to sleep while I operate. Hope you learned your lesson. If not never mess with Snake and if you really want to stay alive never ever get on Father's bad side" She popped a lollipop in her mouth. "And watch who your insulting I could sew
that pretty little mouth of yours shut" She smirked coming closer. I only glared into her eyes, she responded by rolling her eyes boredly before taking a syringe out of her pocket. "Stubborn girl."
My vision started to darken as the syringe plunged deeply into my upper arm. It seemed to coil my pain slowly numbing my throbbing as it put me back into my empty dreams and dull memories.
