Thixophobia

Still the beginning

“why did you do that!”Maya screamed at her husband while she ran to pick Jade up.

“it was a mistake,wasn’t expecting her to do that…….like i wasn’t expecting what i found out today”he shrugged his shoulder then walked to sit at the chair near the dinning table.

Maya noticed something was a bit off but decided to let it slide since it was his first time behaving like this.

”are you okay honey?” she asked Jade.

“ye..yes” Jade nodded her head as she dusted her hands.

“Where is my food”Grayson who was Maya’s husband demanded in a terrifying voice.

“I’ll go make it”Maya scurried towards the kitchen while Jade sat far from her father not even daring to raise her head.

“When you were busy having a tea party with your daughter you didn’t think I would eat something?”Grayson said harshly.

“Well its not like I was expecting you home by this time and it wasn’t a freaking tea party Jade isn’t fine!”

It was just 11 o’clock on a Monday morning and his work was supposed to end 4 hours later,Grayson was the CEO of Luna enterprise.

Grayson didn’t take her reply too well.

Grayson slammed the table which made Jade flinch,she was now a little terrified of the man she was looking at, the man who used to be her own version of ken.

“I don’t care what you were or were not expecting but I want to see my food in the next 10 minutes”he walked out of the kitchen towards the living room kicking Jade’s little chair away.

“Mom,is something wrong with daddy” Jade asked her mom with a trembling voice scared but mostly concerned for her father .

“No my gummy bear he is just having a bad day,he will get over it soon”she cleaned Jade’s tears again assuring her,”

Go play in your room I would come get you when I’m done”she patted Jade’s head.

Maya finished preparing Grayson food,served it then called him to eat at the dinning table.

Grayson sat on his chair”Maya honey come here”. She did that,but wasn’t expecting the soup she prepared to be consumed by her hair instead of her husbands mouth.

“What did you do that for!!”she yelled.

“I told you ten minutes,but it took you twenty minutes to cook this nonsense”he said nonchalantly.

“what has gotten into you,you weren’t like this this morning ” she said at the verge of crying.

“Well I just found out a shocking news do you want to guess?”

“How would I know and beside what sort of news would make you act this way!”She screeched.

“Oo Maya” he said stressing the O creepily,”I wasn’t asking for you to tell me,it was more of a command and don’t you ever raise your voice at me!”he slammed the fork he was holding on his hand to the wooden table near Maya,making her jump in fright.

“Please — I — I don’t know” she quivered.

He laughed hysterically obviously loving her situation”let me help you out..just a little”he smirked,then walked off to the side of the stair and dragged a terrified little girl by her hair.

“What are you doing!!”Maya ran towards where Grayson was,trying to remove his hands from Jade’s hair.

“Firstly I heard this piece of s**t right here isn’t my daughter”he pushed Jade on the ground with much force that her head hit the hard floor causing blood to gush out.

Maya was having mixed emotions, there was shock,anger and most importantly fear,but she was brought back to the hard reality when she saw the blood gushing out of her daughters head”jade!!!” She screamed hugging her daughter who had already fainted on the cold ties,tears flooded Maya’s eyes,as she tried waking jade up.

Jade finally awoke with the vigorous shake her mom was giving her,,immediately she felt the painful sensation coming from her head.

"Mommm"Jade called with a trembling voice

"Yes baby,I'm here" Maya answered slightly relieved.

"It hurts so much"Jade eyes started flooding with tears.

”Jade my dear I’m so sorry,please don’t cry”she tried comforting the crying Jade ,but how could Jade stop when the person comforting her was also crying.

“I think you misplaced your priorities”Grayson stepped forward kicking maya on her stomach,she let out a disgruntled sound.

“I’m the one you are supposed to apologize to not this bastard”he bent down and pinched Jade’s face harshly,while jade screamed in pain.

“Why should I apologize to you when I did nothing wrong!!”she screamed,holding Jade in one hand and the other hand on her stomach.

He laughed maniacally “There’s my feisty little wifey”he dragged Jade forcefully out of her hands towards the guests room opposite the stair case.”mom!”Jade screamed trying to free her hands from the painful grip coming from the man she knew as her father.

“What are you doing!”Maya scurried off the floor,but by the time she was near,Grayson was already inside the guest room with Jade, the door being locked from the inside,”open the goddamn door Grayson!!open it now!”.

Grayson pushed Jade on the small sized bed“I want answers Maya!” Grayson shouted back.

“I swear,Grayson I swear,she is your daughter” Maya sobbed still banging on the door.

“Well that’s not the answer I was looking for,therefore Jade has to be punished for it”Grayson drew out the belt from his waist and whipped Jade with it,Jade’s little body felt like it was on fire,she screamed so hard hoping the pain would go away but it didn’t “mom!!”she wanted her mom to save her.

Maya banged the door with everything including her body “Grayson!!what the f**k are you doing in there,open the door please I beg you!” Maya was going crazy,she wished she could be the one instead of her little princess who has done absolutely nothing wrong “please!!”

“Answer my goddamn question correctly”he fused up.

“I’m telling you the truth,I don’t know where you heard it from but trust me,its me Maya! I would never lie to you,please let her go”

“I didn’t hear anything,I saw the evidence Maya and once again your answer is wrong”he continued wiping the belt violently on Jade’s natural rosy skin which was now turning brick red.

Jade screamed and struggled with all her might but it was just an hopeless battle she was 6 and he was a 30 years old man,she had no where to run to,the wall was an obstacle to her escape.she began losing strength, as each stroke hit her skin violently,black dots filled her vision but she gathered her last strength to mumble “mummy help me"her throat suddenly becoming extremely dry "please!”her voice faded as l she completely blanked out.

That was only the beginning
