Chapter 1 Alia
A deep, heavy sigh leaves my lips as I get ready for the impromptu vacation my father has just announced to us.Usually, he goes with my stepmother and her daughters but this time around he has asked me to jointhem.I'm surprised and happy that he asked me to go but I know that my stepmother wouldn't like this.In fact I can already hear her complaining to my father downstairs.I don't know what I did to deserve her hatred all I've ever wanted was to be loved by my parents but in this house it's like I'm a curse they want to get rid of.It has to do with the fact that I'm an illegitimate daughter.
My father raped my mother who was a maid that worked for him and she got pregnant with me and died after giving birth so maybe in a way I am a curse to my parents.My dad has never liked me either and I've made peace with the fact that I'll never be considered as apart of this family so to hear that I'm invited on a family vacation is really shocking.On my way to the car, I'm stopped by my sisters Ava and Avia "hey little sis" Ava says."Good morning Ava, I was just on my way to the car dad's waiting for me" I reply but as I try to walk around her, Avia is the one who stops me this time around with a cruel laugh " you're not going anywhere with us, you stupid slut."I try to keep calm but I know what these girls are capable of and I'm really scared of what they might do to me."Please just let me pass I don't want any trouble. ""You should have died with your whore of a mother! Don't worry I'll make sure I send you to her right now come here! ."She grabs my hair and starts dragging me towards the basement. I'm screaming, begging Ava to letgo" please stop! It hurts so much ah!""shut up you stupid whore" she slaps me across the face really hard that I feel blood pooling in my mouth and continues dragging me by my hair I swear I can feel a few strands being pulled off.God it hurts so much "open the door Avia quickly before dad comes!" Avia opens the door and shoves me inside.I hit the floor face first but before I get up they lock the door "say hi to your mom for me little sis."Ava says as they leave me in the cold, dark basement. "oh no, please not again, help! Avia! Ava!Please get me out of here! I promise I won't go with you guys on the vacation just please don't leave me in here!."I'm fully crying right now this isn't the first time they've done this but it's been a while I thought it wouldn't happen anymore I guess I was wrong .I start panicking as my childhood memories start flooding my mind, images of being locked up in a dark, tiny closet flash across my mind.My father would lock me in his closet as punishment for things I didn't do when I was little.It caused me to develop a phobia for dark, enclosed spaces. The last time this happened to me I passed out in the closet so my father forbade any one from doing it again I never thought it would happen again, I'm starting to run out of air in here "oh my God I'm going to die in here" I mutter to myself while panting for breath, my body slides down the door and I clutch my shoulders in fear as a past memory resurfaces.
Alia at 12yrs old
"Alia! Where is that little brat child?!"I quickly hide under the dining table so dad won't find me.I'm shivering in fear at what dad is going to do to me I know he's calling me about the fight that occurred between Ava and me, she broke a vase and told me to go tell dad I was the one who did it.I refused and it caused a fight between us.Normally, I wouldn't touch her but I'm sick of taking the blame for the things that she and Avia does.It's not right even though they're my sisters so when dad came back from work Ava ran to tell him that I broke the vase and told her to take the blame.She then started crying, saying that I beat her up because she didn't do as I said.Of course dad believed her without a doubt. Hence, the reason he's currently looking for me.After a little while I don't hear him anymore, maybe he just let it go. I slowly come out from under thedining table but before I can fully make my escape dad drags me back by my dress "gotcha you brat,you thought you could hide from me in my own house right?"Dad starts dragging me towards his room and dread fills my stomach. Oh God, what is he going to doto me? "Dad please I didn't break the vase it was ava you have to believe me!" I cry out."Why would I believe a liar like you huh? I will teach you discipline and respect you useless little girl!"and with that he locks me in the tiny, dark closet."Dad p-please let me out I promise I won't fight with my sisters ever again I'll apologize to ava I swear!Please dad, I'm sorry."I'm sobbing really hard now but no matter how hard I beg no one comes.It's so quiet and I'm really scared it's like this closet is closing in on me."Just relax Alia , you'll be fine don't worry it's just for a little while and it will all be over" I try to calmmyself down by taking deep, slow breaths but it's not working my heart is beating really fast and I'mgetting dizzy from lack of oxygen.Why does my family hate me so much? I think about it every single day but I can't figure it out it's likethey just enjoy being cruel to me for no reason, as tears continue to spill down my cheeks my visionslowly darkens I don't have the strength to fight it anymore and the darkness takes me under.
