Chapter 2 Destiny?
- Valerina's POV
- Life wasn't good back at home either, I doubt if I can call it even a home.
- I was a single daughter of a drug addict.
- But at least I used to see and feel the sun.
- I still remember the ugly night when I stepped out of my house and fell into his dark world or should I say dragged.
- That night turned my world completely dark.
- I was combing my hair, the only thing I love in my life is my hair. They are long and almost below my waist, I have a good height.
- But I also like my amber eyes, I have dusky skin tone. My friends used to tell me that I glow golden when sunrays fall on my skin.
- "Bitch!"
- I heard a curse. Comb fell from my hand realising that I am going to get beaten now.
- But I didn't do anything, why is he angry?
- I rushed downstairs before he comes up.
- I saw scattered glass bowl and wasted food.
- "F_Father?"
- He is not a father, he is a monster.
- He just looks for a chance to hurt me.
- "How many times have I told you that, I want my dinner hot and served when I enter the house..."
- He yelled.
- "You dumb fuck have only one thing to do but can't even do that.
- Tears pierced my eyes. I am doing my best, I am trying to do everything perfectly but he always abuses me for small things.
- He refused to let me go to the university, he locked me inside the house. He made me work day and night, still he thinks I am useless.
- What kind of a father he is?
- It's been two years, I haven't gone out.
- He pulled out his belt and I stepped back.
- "Please..."
- I tried to run but he grabbed me by my hair and threw me on the floor.
- I closed my eyes and waited for a lash but someone opened the door.
- "Looks like I came at the wrong time..."
- Charlie, his friend entered the house.
- He is the dirtiest man I have ever met. Lust drips from his eyes and I can see how he looks at me. Sometimes he tries to touch me and I can't even tell my father. He won't believe me. He will do nothing but slutshame me.
- "Today I am going to kill this bitch..."
- His words shouldn't hurt me anymore but still it hurts.
- What did I do wrong to deserve his hate?
- "Why are you wasting such beauty?.."
- Charlie said and I cringed.
- "Give her to me..."
- My eyes widened when he said that. I grabbed the piece of broken glass bowl.
- "Not before you pay the amount I want..."
- Tears slipped from my eyes when my own father said this. How can he do this to me?
- "Why?..."
- I stood up.
- "Why do you hate me so much?"
- I yelled and fell on the floor again when he slapped me.
- "Don't you dare Raise your voice at me, Bitch."
- He spat.
- "You are not even my daughter... Your father is someone else, look at my colour and look at hers..."
- He looked at Charlie.
- "How can she be my daughter?"
- "Agree!"
- Charlie said with a smirk.
- No matter what they say, I know my mother was a loyal wife. I am his daughter, is it my fault that my skin is dusky and he is fair.
- "Give me my money and take her..."
- He threw himself on the chair tirelessly.
- "Fine, you greedy man... Take it!"
- His friend said.
- "Dad, please... Don't do this to me"
- I pleaded but he ignored me.
- "How can you do this? What is my fault?"
- "Your colour is your fault..."
- He spat hatefully.
- "This golden colour of yours... These yellow eyes and your fucking black hair... Look at me and tell me from which angle do I look like your father?"
- He has blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. My mother had similar features and I don't know why I am so different from them.
- "Give me that pendant and go with Charlie..."
- He ordered.
- I clutched on my locket. This is the last thing which belongs to my mother. I won't give it to him.
- "No!"
- I stepped back.
- He tried to snatch it but I ran away from him. Charlie tried to catch me but attacked him with broken glass and he got a few cuts.
- "Fuck!"
- Charlie tried to grab my throat but I pushed him away and dashed out of the main door.
- But he did snatch my locket, It fell on the floor but I had to save myself.
- It's all dark, I rushed towards the forest thinking they won't be able to find me.
- We live in a small town which is closer to the forest, I know I am risking my life by entering the forest because there are so many myths about it but I am sure the monsters inside the forest will be better than monsters behind me.
- "Harry, she is going inside the forest..."
- I heard Charlie.
- "So what? Catch her, I don't believe in the bullshit which these bloody villagers feed you..."
- They didn't stop to chase me.
- I am running barefoot and I can feel blood around my feet. I can only imagine how many wounds I have got.
- It was final stroke when my toe hit the rock and I fell with the thud. My head banged on the tree trunk and blood dripped on my dress.
- I cried out loud in pain. I can't even run because it's an edge of the hill.
- "You stupid bitch..."
- Charlie stepped towards me.
- "I am going to fuck this attitude out of you..."
- I crawled back when he walked towards me but he froze when something fell on ground with thud.
- We both looked at the direction. It's was my father, more like it was his dead body.
- His head got separated from his body and rolled at my feet.
- "Ahhhh...."
- I screamed on top of my lungs and pulled my feet away.
- Charlie was terrified, he looked around like a scared rabbit. He jumped in fear when something passed by with the speed of light or may be someone, I could only see the shadow.
- Charlie was about to run but then someone grabbed him and I screamed when I saw a huge man. His eyes were glowing red, his needle like fangs ripped Charlie's throat and he ended up just like my father.
- I crawled back in fear and lost my balance.
- I tried to grab something but it was too late, I fell off the cliff.
- I thought may be it's the end of misery and closed my eyes to embrace death but no, destiny has different plans for me.
- And my destiny is the man with red eyes and sharp fangs.
