Finally Mine

Prologue

****Note  

Hey everyone! This is my first try at a story and I'm so nervous but I hope you like it so. Sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes. Anyway I'd love to hear what you think! ***************************************************************************************************************

I'm making dinner with my younger siblings Conrad and Nora sitting at the table doing homework. They were both twins but looked like night and day. Nora had dark brown hair like me and she had brown eyes. She was a little shorter than Conrad. Conrad has sandy blonde hair. He has deep blue eyes like me. We all had naturally tan skin.  

"Alana can you help me real quick with question ten?" asked Nora with this cute frustrated look on her face. 

"In a minute. I just have to check on the steak and I'll be right there." 

I quickly checked the food to see that it was almost done. I looked on the counter to see a letter from the bank with my name on it. I quickly put it in my pocket so I could read it later. 

I helped Nora with her homework and then set the table when it was cleared. I just finished putting the food on the table when I heard the lock on the door click, signaling that my step-father was home. I froze fear starting to set in hoping nothing would happen. I looked at the twins seeing that they were scared too. I quickly hid my fear and gave them a smile trying to reassure them. But it was obvious that it didn't work. 

My step-father stomped through the door. He has bright blonde hair and cold hard ice blue eyes. He was pretty tall with a big build. He was creepy looking. He has a big temper. He gets so angry so quickly. If you weren't so used to it like me, you'd never see it coming. I flinched seeing the black aura around his body. If one thing goes wrong, someone is going to get beaten. There's only been a few times that none of us have gotten hurt. I love those days, but sadly today isn't one of those days. 

Everyone was eating in silence. I was so tense, ready to step in if Jev tried to hurt the twins. We always call our step-father by his name. Nora looked really nervous an must have not been paying attention because she knocked over her drink making a puddle on the table. 

"Nora you little bitch!" screamed Jev while raising his fist to punch her. I reacted instantly curling myself around Nora taking all the punches and kicks. Nora was crying and I tried to reassure her that everything will be ok. My whole body was already sore from a previous beating and I was in so much pain. I was trying not to cry out. When the beating stopped I turn to Conrad who looked so scared and upset that he couldn't help. 

"Conrad take your sister to your room and lock the door quick."  

Conrad quickly nodded and gained this determined look on his face. He grabbed Nora's hand and pulled her up the stairs as fast as they could go. Once they we out of sight I turned to Jev. He was breathing hard and his face was full of rage. I knew from that look what was gonna happen tonight. I started to feel sick and I was scared out of my mind but better me than Nora. 

Later that night when Jev was finally done with me, I went to my room after checking on the twins and locked my door. I sat on my bed tears starting to spill over. I felt sore all over and so violated.  

Why? Why us? What did we do to deserve this? I shifted on the bed hearing the crinkle of paper. I suddenly remember the banks letter. I hurriedly read it. Happiness started to replace the fear. I finally had enough money to leave and take the twins with me. I know I only have four months until my eighteenth birthday, but a lot can happen in four months and I'm scared of what might happen if I don't leave now. I've been working many jobs. Most of them online so I wouldn't leave the twins alone. I bought a used car and parked it down the road from my house so Jev didn't find out what I was planning. I had my fake I.D. ready so I was able rent a place somewhere when I'm ready to stop and hopefully stay safe until my birthday. I already talked to a lawyer about my siblings. He says we have a strong case.

I was so happy right now that we could leave. I decided to start packing my own stuff that I wanted to take and then I'll help the twins tomorrow morning when Jev will be at work. I  packed clothes, my laptop, my Ipod, my camera and a few personal items that I just couldn't let go of.

Once everyone was packed and the car was loaded I jumped into the driver's seat and spped off. I looked in the rearview mirror at my siblings. Nora looked happy at leaving but nervous. Conrad was a little hard to read but by his blue and grey aura that he was relieved. I was too. But I knew as we got farther and farther away, that it wasn't over. We weren't home free yet.
