Chapter 1: How It Started

3rd Person P.O.V.

Caterina Valentine ran to her room, she locked the door and hid under her bed. It was a routine she didn't enjoy, she did it everytime her parents argued, (which is a lot) they argued about many things, her brother, money, plans, bassically everything. But this time, they were arguing about Cat.

You see her parents hired a babysitter for the day, then her father got home and they both went to his bedroom. Cat got hungry and was going to ask the babysitter for a snack, but then she saw both of them, laying in bed naked. She was to young to understand what was happening, so when her mom got home she told her mom what she saw, and thats when the arguing began. Her parents were saying something about cheating, and sex, Cat was to innocent to understand.

When the argument heated up Cat ran to her room like usual, she knew her dad was mad at her, this meant she would probably get punished. Cat was wondering what her punishment would be this time, maybe she would get lucky and her dad would push her over and smack her. Then Cat's parents stoped arguing, Cat knew what was coming next.

She heard nothing for awhile, but then she heard footsteps, and she heard them grow closer and closer. Then she heard a knock.

"Cat open the door!" Her father said, his voice was gruff and angry.

Cat held back tears, maybe if she didn't open the door her father would think she wasn't there, but then she heard her father again.

"Cat open the fucking door!" he yelled.

This time Cat couldn't hold back her tears, and she cried.

"Caterina you have five seconds, five...four...three...tw-"

Cat opened the door, her eyes were already red, her breaths came out shaky, and she trembled in fear of what was to come. She was only an eight year old girl, she knew most children her age didn't have the constant fear of their own father.

Cat's father picked her up by her neck and squeezed it hard, Cat was gasping for breaths. She was choked almost to the point of death before her father threw her on the hard floor. Cat screamed in pain, but that pain was minor compared to the kick her father dealt to her stomach. And as of that wasn't enough her father then slaped her across her face, leaving a red marking there.

Her father picked her up and pinned her against the wall.

"If you tell anyone about this, I will hurt you so much, you wish you were dead, undertsand?" He said in a very threatinig manner.

Cat couldn't make words she was so terrified.

"Do you undertsand!" Her father screamed.

"Yes, I understand," Cat screamed back.

Her father let go of her, Cat fell to the ground, then her father spit on her.

"No dinner for you tonight you fatass," her father said as he left the room.

Cat gasped for air, she sat on the floor and started crying. Cat hated her father, and her brother for that matter, she just wanted to be loved, to live in a normal family. Caterina Valentine didn't know it, but this is really were everything started for her.

This is my first fanfic, let me know what I did wrong.
