Aged 10

Tw: Neglect/Abuse


She grabbed her bag stuffing everything she thought she would need food, water, clothes, and money, she needed money.

An idea popped into her head, it would be risky, very risky, but nonetheless a risk she was willing to take.

She would sneak downstairs, she knew where they hid their wallet, and then she would take some money and run.

She walked down the stairs making sure nobody would find her, she ran towards the draw pulling out the wallet. There were stacks of money. Vera took out two hundred pounds that would be enough for now.

She turned around and ran into someone, Vera gulped and looked up, she was met with the furious face of her uncle.

"What do you think you're doing Vera?" He said taking a puff of his cigarette and blowing it into her face, she covered her hand over her mouth going into a fit of coughs.

She tried to lie, but she couldn't think of anything.

"I'll ask once more. What were you doing?" He questioned taking a step closer, her back hit the wall. Vera felt defenseless, She couldn't use my powers, couldn't risk him finding out and her getting into more trouble. She didn't answer him, just stared at the ground.

He grabbed and shoved her into a cleaning closet, she heard the keys lock. Vera screamed and banged her fists against the door until they turned purple.

Her aunt called the Forks police station saying that Vera didn't like it in England and that she was making threats to run away if they didn't go back. Which of course was a lie, well most of it.
Camilla got in contact with someone that said She has a godfather, apparently he was Vera's dads best friend and that if anything ever happend to them She would go and live with her godfather not Camilla and Kenith. This entire time She could have had a normal life, with someone She might have actually liked.

Her godfather and Camilla  talked for a while and both agreed that if she wasn't happy where She was now that Vera could live with him. This was like a dream come true, after all these years her wishes was finally coming true. She would be leaving.

"Don't think we are doing this for you child! We don't want you just as much as you hate being here." Camilla ranted

I didn't care anymore, I just went up into my room and stayed there until I fell asleep. In a week I would be leaving and starting a new chapter of my life in Forks.

Today is the day I leave, I am flying out and meeting my God father today. Charlie was his name, I was so exited.

I grabbed my bags and slung them over my shoulder racing downstairs. There was a taxi outside that was taking me to the airport.

My aunt, uncle and cousin all stood at the door.

"Before we leave, I just wanted to say. I hated every moment I spent in this house, you made my life horrible and I was so much happier with my parents. You are all terrible people and I hope one day you will get what you deserve because I fucking hate you all you selfish, greedy asseholes." I snapped, a tear falling down my face. I loved watching as their eyes widened in what I was saying, appalled that I would even utter anything bad about them.

"All we ever did was care about you, you ungrateful little bitch!" Camilla screamed I rolled my eyes and opened the front door.

"Fuck you." I exclaimed

I grabbed the Taxi door sitting down. I was free, after all these years I finally felt like myself again.

•••

After a extremely boring eight hour flight I was finally home. I was stood with my bags waiting for Charlie.

A tall dark haired man with a moustache walked up to me he had a comforting smile across his face. "You must be Vera, god you look so much like your mother." He mumbled picking up my bags.

"Yeah I've been told that a few times, how did you meet my parents?" I asked, his face lit up although it still held sadness at the mention of my mum and dad.

"Your dad and I worked together, he was a police officer and your mother had her only library. They were both wonderful people always willing to help out others." He explained a smile was across my face, I loved hearing about my parents, my aunt and uncle never let me talk or ask questions about them. Becasue they died when I was so young I didn't know anything about them, but now I can ask so many questions about them and learn what they were like.

"Thank you for telling me what they were like, at my other house I wasn't even aloud to even mention their name." I said and he gave me a sad smile.

"If you have any other questions feel free to ask me." Charlie assured.

I was so glad to be in Forks again, hopefully I will have a normal life now.
