Silent

chapter 6

You’re young and pure, you have a lot to learn. I jumped, scanning my surroundings. Who was that? I don’t see anyone, I think those beatings are starting to get to my head….I’m losing my mind. You’re not going insane, I'm your guide, Lucile. Oh thank god, I thought those beatings were making me go insane. Wait, how can you hear me? I can’t talk. Don’t be silly, I’m a part of you now which means I can hear your every thought. Don’t get creeped out but I’ve listened to your thoughts ever since you lost your voice, and I got to say you have one sad life… I am here now. What's that supposed to mean? I have needed help ever since he started abusing me, can’t you see he's making my life a living hell? Stop talking.run no! I'm not done yet, I need answers. You’ll get them later, now is NOT the time. Run. right. Now.

I turned around, wondering why she wants me to run. Suddenly that's when I saw him charging fast towards me and I froze seconds later he was knocking me to the ground. I still couldn't make any noise so I shielded my face from whatever knocked me to the ground. And it was him, my torment standing before me giving me an evil twisted grin. And all of a sudden I didn't feel so brave anymore, so I got up and allowed him to drag me back to the yard and then the pain shot through my entire body again; and I fell waiting for the pain to end, I just want to have a hot shower. “ Get up “I heard Felix snap at me. I couldn’t move though, no matter what I did my body was in such horrible shape that I couldn't move.

“ If you don't move then I’ll move you!” with that I was grabbed by my ankle and dragged across the yard and into the house, getting thrown into the bathroom. “ take a f*****g shower you disgusting hoe.” After he left I tried to move my arms and legs, telling myself the shower will ease the pain. Eventually, I stood up, holding the counter to keep myself from falling. I looked into the mirror and I got depressed, I'm even more hideous…

My chestnut hair had twigs, dirt, and leaves stuck in it. My face was extremely pale and I was shaking with fear and sickness. I have a black eye now. My pale face is making it more noticeable, and my entire bottom lip and chin are covered in dried-up blood on it. The cut on my forehead is now scabbed up again but I have more dried-up blood around my black eye. My brown hair has a little blood in it from the glass Felix shattered against my skull earlier. I then looked down at my stomach, grimacing. It's all dried up and nasty. Who would be that cruel? My stomach says three things. I’m a w***e. I opened my mouth to scream but of course… nothing happened...

I let the tears fall freely as I turned to go into the shower, hoping to get rid of these hideous marks that will forever haunt me. I took the soap and lathered it in my hair, afraid that if I washed my new cuts it would burn. Obviously, it will, but I don't want it to burn worse than normal because of how deep the gashes are... After I've spent an hour in the shower trying to wash my cuts and the blood off of me. I got out and dried off in my room. I threw on some clothes that were scattered on the floor. Then I snuck out of my room to go into the forbidden room. I sneakily checked to see if Felix was sleeping. He was. Before I ninja walked into the forbidden room, I grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, my mouth falling open. This room was gorgeous… the walls were pink, the carpet was white as snow, the bed was queen-sized, the sheets were purple, and there was a dresser with all sorts of make-up and hair utensils on it.

I snuck over to the dresser that had a non-broken mirror on it. This mirror showed how horrid I really looked. I scrunched up my nose with disgust, looking down at the hair accessories. I spotted a hairbrush and I about fainted. I grabbed the hair brush and a few hair ties before opening a few drawers. My eyes widened at the number of clothes there were, I grabbed a bunch of clothes and took off back to my room before Felix woke up. I put the clothes in my dresser drawers and went back to shut the forbidden door, I ran back to my room after I shut the door and plopped onto my bed, happy I had found a new place to get things from.
