The Wretched and Divine
An Angel, A Demon
Sorry it's so short. More of a filler to set up the next chapter really...
"HOW DARE YOU!"
Pa's yelling woke me up. I looked around and found I was in Danny's room.
"WE TRUSTED YOU TO LOOK AFTER JACOB AND YOU DO THIS!"
Ma's small voice piped up, but I couldn't hear what she said. Danny was furious.
"AT LEAST I DIDN'T RAPE HIM! THAT'S HOW I CAME ABOUT, WASN'T IT?"
Ma and Pa knew about us.
"HE'S LEAVING THIS VILLAGE. I'LL DEAL WITH YOU AFTERWARDS!"
I listened to Danny's protests and Ma walking upstairs. I pretended to be asleep but she shook me. I slowly opened my eyes. I decided to play the fool. She was glaring at me.
"Get dressed."
I looked at her questioningly.
"Do it."
I climbed out of bed and pulled some clothes on. I went to my room to find Ma packing everything. I grabbed a pen and wrote on my hand.
'What's happening?'
"You're leaving this village, you little slag."
I flinched inwardly and jumped as Pa came running in. His fist sent me to the floor.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
Pa kicked Danny in the chest and I screamed as he fell to the floor, coughing hard. I went to run to him but Pa grabbed ahold of me. I kicked out, trying to get free but Pa was too strong. I cried, writhing in his arms but he just took me into his room and threw my on the bed. I backed away, not knowing what he was going to do. I saw him grab a knife and I screeched as he slammed it into my chest. Everything went black.
