ever sense my mom left my dad has gotten worse with his drinking problems. he used to hit my mom, and well i guess she was sick and tired so she left, he never has hit me but that quickly changed after she vanished in the night. i opened my front door after returning from a day of school. i saw my dad sitting at our round table with a couple of alcohol beverages by him. as soon has he heard the door close he stood up shakily and walked over to me. i stiffened as he walked behind me grabbing my wrist and spinning me to face him.

"you look like a fag in those clothes phoenix, you know i hate them." he said coldly. i looked at the floor and shrugged. he grabbed my cheeks making my green eyes  look up directly into his brown ones. "you're to pretty for them." he said chuckling. i accidently rolled my eyes at his sentence and i was quickly thrown on the ground. "what did i tell you about you're attitude!" he yelled as i crawled backwards away and he walked closer.

"i-i'm sorry, i didn't mean to!" i said beginning to tear up. i was scared, i didn't know if he would hit me or not. he grabbed me by my arm pulling me back up only to be knocked on the floor again by his punch in the face. i shrieked and held my face tears streaming down my face. he pulled me up once more and pushed me against the wall, punching me again. i slid down the wall onto the ground. "please stop!" i yelled crying. he walked over to the table, grabbing his beer bottle in hand. he turned to face me, anger over washed his face. he chucked the bottle at me cutting my face. i covered my face and stood up. the blood leaked through my hands and i ran up the stairs hearing foot steps behind me.

"come here you karlie!" he yelled to me, 'karlie' to him meant 'failure'. i ran into my room and closed the door locking it. i heard him banging on the door and yelling. my vision blurred and i slid down against the door. he stopped yelling and banging. i sighed and felt my face the dried blood sat on my hands. i stood up and unlocked my door opening it cautiously. i quickly went into my bathroom and locked it. i looked into my reflection. their was two bruises on each side of my face. one by my left eye, and one by my right cheek. their was also a cut by my eyebrow. i took a paper towel and wet it. i cleaned up my cut and heard yelling from outside i looked out the window standing on the tub and and saw enforcers shooting people. i covered my mouth with one of my hands and ran out of my bathroom.

i stepped outside and saw my dad talking to an enforcer drunk. i stepped towards them immediately stopping once the enforcer shot at my dad. he dropped to the ground and i stumbled back. "no, no, no." i whispered. the enforcer looked at me and started walking towards me. i started to run away and he chased after me. i ran into people apologizing. i saw to girls standing alone. i looked behind me noticing the enforcer was gone. i sighed and realized both of my parents are gone. i shook my head and looked at my hands. the air was smokey and i couldn't see. i saw a familiar face looking at me. "phoenix!" i heard a man voice yell. it was vander my dads friend. 

"vander!" i yelled running into his arms. he put both hands an the sides of my face and looked at the brusies at my face and the cut and looked confused before he could say anything. he saw the two girls and grabbed my hand walking over to them. the red haired one looked around franticly as the other clung to her like a koala. vander looked to the side and i followed his gaze seeing a blue haired woman on the ground dead. my eyes softened and i squeezed vanders hand. 

i looked back over to the girls and the red haired one dropped to the floor and started to cry, the younger one comforted her. i looked down and shuffled closer to vander. the girls stood and looked at us. vander let go of my hand and picked the smaller girl up and started to walk. me and the red haired girl followed. 

"whats your name?" the girl asked me.

"phoenix, you?" i replied smiling softly to her.

"vi." she said softly.
