~~~1AM~~~
The soft light of the moon beaming down on my small glass window.
The fighting I can hear in the next room.
The blood I can smell, as my father hits my mother with an iron.
The warmth of my blanket.
All things that are distracting me from sleep......
"Brood are you awake?"
"Yeah what's up?"
"Mom and dad are fighting"
"Yeah I can hear" I say with a sarcastic tone.
"Can I sleep in here tonight?"
"Jax you know what happened last time mom and dad found you sleeping in my room"
"I know, but I can hide under the bed this time"
"Jax if dad can't find you in the house there going to search the village, go to your own bed tonight"
"Ok" he said with a sad tone, before walking away .
I can hear mom and dad yelling at him, screaming and asking why he can't just stay in his bed.
~~~5 AM~~~
I can here the sound of mom ringing the breakfast bell.
"Crap I'm going to be late"
I rush over to the dining hall and see that everyone has already taken there seat.
"Brood"
"Brood darling what could have been more important then breakfast, that it would keep you held up for this long?"
"Sorry mother" I say as I quietly sit down.
"Brood Nebula" my father exclaimed
"This is your 3rd time this month being late for breakfast. Seriously, what is more important that has been keeping you?"
"I'm sorry father I haven't been getting enough sleep"
"ENOUGH SLEEP" he shouted
"WHAT DID YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP, IT IS PERFECTLY QUIET AT NIGHT"
"I'm sorry father" I say with my head down
"Leave"
I look up and ask "what?"
"LEAVE" my father shouts
I get up from the dining table and leave the hall.
