Chapter 16
Saki
"Saki…answer this problem." Mr. Copal ordered. I picked up my book to see the math problem.
"Umm….8?"
"No." he sighed, irritated. "Its 10." He growled. I frowned as everyone but my sister laughed. Mr. Copal my fifth grade teacher was young, he was my dad's age, he has a temper on him for sure. "See me after class Saki."
"Okay…."
The school bell rang for dismissal I was going for the door when my teacher grabbed my shoulder a little to tightly. "Miss Collins…."
My sister stayed put at my side till I told her to go ahead. When she was gone and the classroom was empty I stared at the teacher.
Mr. Copal smiled as he guided me to his desk. "Now lets talk shall we…." He sat in his chair as he pulled me over to him. Between his legs. I felt chills go down my spin.
"Sir…im not that good at math but im trying-" his hands are what made me stop. I felt his hands under my skirt, touching my legs. I manage to step back. "Anyways I been getting help from my sister so I hope to be better soon-"
He got close to me before laying his hands on my shoulders. "Its okay Saki…..im not mad. Really."
I kept still as his hands slid past my arms and got to my chest. At that moment I felt really scared. I knew I had to do something. I kicked his shin before racing towards the door. I was close to it when I felt my head jerk forward hard enough that my lip busted on the door handle. I fell to my knees, covering my lip. I looked up to see Mr. Copal staring down at me. "Now im mad you stupid bitch…"
My eyes flooded open as I awoke. I sat up to see light shining in my room. It was just a dream…..well another flashback. I looked down at my chest. Remembering the feel of that mans hands. I cant face him. "Saki…time to get ready." My mom smiled at me from my open door. I casually covered my mouth as I nodded. Once she was gone I sighed in relief. I got up to see how bad I really was. My lip was swollen. My eye a bit scratched. Under my clothes were worse scars but I choose not to worry about that. I got covered up in new clothes, got my shoes on, put up my hair until I saw the red marks on my neck then I decided it would be best to keep my hair down.
On my way to school my sister didn't notice. Neither did my family. As long as they don't know then I'll be fine. I can handle this anyways. At least I hope.
"Good morning kids." Our teacher greeted as we filed in. once I passed him he smiled at me. "Good morning Saki…."
I froze in my walk. I felt sick as I recalled what happened yesterday. My body was shaking, I knew I should just act casual but how could I when I have to face this man. "Saki?" My sister pulled on my arm. "What's with you. Come on."
"Yes do go." The teacher smiled. I hugged my books to my chest, covering myself up just incase. I followed my sister to my seat.
"What's with you? Since yesterday you've been strange…."
I looked at my sister. "Must be the weather." I laughed it off.
Hoping that this could all just go away…..
Of course it wouldn't though.
"Okay Saki what's up these days?" My brother asked as he sat beside me on the porch swing. Almost two months this has been going on. I wish it would stop, so my family could be at peace. Im nothing but a waste of space. Maybe the teacher is right. your nothing but a stupid shit. His words melted in my head as I thought about it. I hugged my legs closer to my chest.
"How's the baby?" I asked. Changing the subject.
"She's due any day now."
"The apartment?"
"Great…now how's school…."
"Fine." I lied. I got up. "Talk to you later." I told him
"Wait…where are you headed?" he asked.
"School work." I responded, going inside heading straight to my room. I closed my door. I went to my mirror to get a good look at me.
"Your stupid!"
"You bitch…"
"That's right you're a naughty little girl….I better teach you a lesson."
I felt anger boil from within. Sorrow filled my body. Hatred poured out. I grabbed my brush and threw it at the mirror, making it shatter all over. I grabbed a piece of glass and stabbed it in my arm, my shoulder, my legs. I took off all my clothes and stabbed my tummy multiple times till I realized what I was doing. Crying. I was crying mentally, and I finally broke down. I collapsed on the glass, ignoring the pain and cried. what has he done to me? Who am I? I feel filthy. Damn it…. I covered my face, not caring that my hands were bloody, I didn't care about anything….not since that man… in the middle of my crying I heard the door open. "Saki mom says its-" Then my sisters voice followed. I uncovered my face, smearing blood all over in the process. My sisters eyes were wide as she walked in. "What are you doing naked…..and with blood all over you."
I started to get up but was brought down due to the glass in my legs. I felt light headed all of a sudden. "Mitzuki…" She ran to my side as I fell. I landed in her arms. She covered me with a blanket before picking me up.
"Hang on Saki…"
My vision was blurry. My eyes felt heavy.
I guess I lost to much blood…..
Shane
I was sitting Alyssa down when a scream up above came out. We all looked at each other, stunned.
"Daddy! Mommy!:" I heard Mitzuki yell. Claire was already running up. I followed, I heard the footsteps of others too.
I heard Claire scream and saw her collapse to her knees with her mouth covered. I got to her.
"What is it Claire!?" I asked. She pointed with a shaken hand. I turned to where she pointed. My eyes widened when I saw Mitzuki holding Saki in her arms. Saki's body half exposed. Glass was shattered, I thought I heard something but I never expected this. Mitzuki was in tears. "She isn't breathing!" She sobbed as she held Saki close to her. "Daddy….what do I do!?" She asked. I carefully made my way over. I got Saki out of her arms, laid her on the bed then pot Mitzuki up. After, I got to Saki and uncovered her to see something a father should never see. I covered my mouth as I saw Saki's body covered in stabs, cuts, bruises, even cigarette burns?
I felt Michael standing beside me. I turned to him. "Get Mitz and the kids out of her…."
"What about mom?"
I looked over at Claire who was still on the floor with shock still at her door. "Take her too. Don't let Alyssa and Sam see this…."
Michael nodded. He got Claire up then some how managed to get the little twins to help Claire off. Michael came back for Mitzuki, who refused to go.
"No! She's my sister! Let go!" She fought. Michael kept a hold of her though. "Michael let go!" She screamed as she held out her hand to her sister. "Don't make me leave! Shes my sister!" She cried. After she was gone I kneeled down to her.
"What the hell happened to you…." I asked myself.
A few minutes passed before hearing sirens from a distance.
Michael must of called 911.….
Mitzuki
It took me hours just to see her again but when I finally did I saw her wrapped up. Her legs, im sure her tummy and chest. Her arms. Her face. I noticed some red marks on her neck. Where did those come from? I sat at her bedside and took her hand in mine. I gripped it tight but gently. Is this what you felt Saki? Misery, pain, scared of losing the sister that's been so dear to you? I felt pain fill me enough to let my tears escape. "Saki…What happened to make you do this?" I asked, knowing she wouldn't answer.
Dear god…if there is one…please help her…..don't kill off the only one who understands and accepts me….don't take my best friend away….I beg you…..
"Ill give up anything for you…just please let her live." I begged.
I felt a grip in my hand. I looked up to see my sisters eyes opening. At this time my dad and Michael were here. My mom is still to shocked to handle being here, she stayed home with the little ones. "Saki…." I called out.
"Mitzuki…." She voiced as she tried sitting up, moaning in pain as she did. I helped her into a sitting position then stared at her.
"Saki…..your okay right?"
"I-I guess…."
"Good." I grabbed her collar of her gown. "What the hell were you thinking! You could of really died!"
She pushed me off which was unlike her. She cringed a bit then looked at me. "Maybe I wanted to…."
"What?"
"I cant live in this body anymore…not after-"
"After what?"
She didn't get a chance to answer since my dad, Michael and my teacher? Came in. "Hey Saki guess who we found!" My dad smiled.
"Your teacher, he was visiting a friend when we told him you were here." Michael mentioned. I looked at my teacher than at my sister. I frowned. Her face was in shock, and pale. Her eyes were huge, like owl eyes. Her body was shaking a little.
"Get out…."
"What?" Michael frowned.
"Saki?" Dad cocked his head.
"Miss Saki I was wondering what happened. I was concerned that you wouldn't be at school since this happened-"
"Get out!" Saki yelled as she stared at him with eyes of anger. "Get out! Now!" She continued.
"Saki?" Shane edged towards her.
"Stay away from me!" She yelled. She started to back away. When Michael inched towards us Saki screamed and grabbed whatever was near her, which was a book. She threw it towards them. "Get out! Get out!" She screamed louder. My brother and father backed away, stunned. I stood up and held out my hands, telling her I wont hurt her. I got my arms around her in a protective way, holding her still as she jerked in my arms. "Get out!" She started to cry. "Leave me alone! Get out…."
I looked at my father and brother as they looked hurt. They proceeded out. The teacher however kept staring, like he was taking her clothes off in his mind. "Hey!" I snapped at him, bringing him back to reality. "She said get out." The teacher froze then nodded before walking out.
I let her go slowly. "Your okay now Saki. The man's gone…."
Saki wiped her eyes, then hugged her legs, cringed at the pain.
"What was that all about?"
"That man….." She started. Tears formed in her eyes. "That man…." She looked at me. "For month….has been raping me, beating me, and playing with me…."
I sat frozen at her words. Remembering those times where she had to stay after school. Thinking she was safe with him. Safe enough to leave her. All this time she said not a word to me, though im her sister, I should know when somethings wrong. Her talking stopped. Her voice was muted for a while. Her actions in class as the teacher got close to her. She was showing the signs, I just didn't see them till now. "Saki…."
"Don't tell daddy….mama or Michael…..don't tell nobody….." She cried.
"I have to….this man has to be put in prison!" I noticed the red marks on her neck. "Did that man put those marks there?"
She nodded.
I widened my eyes. "Those were hickeys….not bruises. You never fell out of a tree…"
She shook her head, crying. "He threaten to get me expelled if I didn't stay….."
I laid my hand on her hand. "Oh Saki….why didn't you tell me sooner!?" I choked.
"I-I didn't want to admit it….I was too ashamed…." She wiped her eyes again. I pulled her into my arms.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of."
"Yes I do….its all my fault….I set him off some how…..I did this…" She blurted in sobs. Tears soaking her cheeks. Her cries made my heart break. Soon enough I started to cry with her.
I held her tight and close.
"Its not Saki….none of this is…" I managed to let out in the midst of crying.
Saki shook her head before she cried onto my chest. "I did this…..im at fault…." I laid her head in the crane of my neck. I held her as she sobbed. Sobbing myself. I couldn't protect her. What sister am I if I cant protect her?
"Hey…is it safe to come in?" Dad asked. I closed my book I was reading.
"Yes….she finally went to sleep…."Dad, Michael and mom shuffled in. "Mom I didn't expect to see you…"
"Michael and Shane told me what happened." mom said as she went to my sisters side. She laid a hand on her forehead, at that time she saw the marks on her neck. "What are those?" She asked.
I sucked in a breath. "You better sit for this." I told them. They sat as did I.
"Saki didn't want me to tell you but….." I paused for a moment, recollecting myself. "She acted that way because our teacher set her off."
"Huh?" Michael cocked his head.
I looked away. "Do you guys remember when she was silent for a year, after what our father did?"
"How could I forget." My mom said.
"Such a sad year." My dad added.
"It was a terrible year…" Michael threw out his cents.
"Why do you bring that up Mitz?" dad asked.
I looked at them. "She became silent recently, now recall all the times I told you guys Saki had to stay after school….. And then remember how she acted towards you two along with the teacher…. Put that all together."
It took sometime but Michael's eyes grew wide. "Your not saying…."
My dad caught up. "He wouldn't….."
My mother gasped. "He did…"
I nodded and stood. I stroked Saki's cheek. "For a whole month…..she's been to make stay after school. How? He threatened to expel her."
Dad shot up in out rage. "He cant do that!-"
"But he did….those stab marks were from her…we were so indulged with our own lives that….we didn't see the signs. Her muting herself, wearing more clothes then needed. Never really ate, didn't want to go to school….. She told me she wanted to die…."
My family's eyes grew wide. "Now she blames herself for everything that man has done."
Silence filled the air…as we all stared at our sleeping Saki….
Now what?
