The adopted Swan

Chapter 10

Esmeray's POV

No one told me periods would be this bad! I bled through and ruined half of my pants and underwear, I had cramps in my lower abdomen and back, I was nauseous but constantly craved sweet and salty snack foods, and I've been forced to live off of chips and chocolate bars! I just feel fat and gross!

I took the entire week off of school because I felt like I couldn't walk because of my cramps. It was Saturday and I was home alone. Da-Char-dad? And Cora were out on their first official date while Bella was stalking the Cullens again. I was watching Disney movies while eating ice cream and crying.

Disney takes pleasure in making me relive childhood trauma in the form of beautiful princesses and singing animals. Fucking sadistic bastards.

I got up and limped to the bathroom and cleaned myself up before limping to the kitchen to get some powdered aspirin to mix in my tea. It's the only thing that works midol, Tylenol, and ibuprofen suck and don't work at all or only give me three minutes of relief. I know with my current diet and the fact that I take it exactly every six hours isn't healthy, but my kidneys and liver will be fine! Who cares about stomach bleeding anyway? Please note my sarcasm.

I've been pretty temperamental as of late. Especially when Bella's near she's made it obvious that she hates me and the attention that I get. She constantly says 'Stop being such an attention seeker! They're just cramps!' 'God! Stop being so dramatic! It's a period! All women get them! Deal with it!' It pisses me off and I verbally lash out at her resulting in Cora intervening and dad dragging her away from me.

Bella's period was never this bad.....and she got it at nine years old!

Bella didn't have cramps that made her unable to walk normally or stand for periods of time. Bella didn't get nauseous to the point of kneeling on the bathroom floor and vomiting because I actually ate real food. Bella didn't have to constantly medicate herself in order to halfway decently function like a human being. Bella didn't have these problems! Why can't I have a period like Bella's?! Even she even gets a period with her skinny ass.

I sniffled as I curled up in my little nest on the couch and pressed the hot bottle to my abdomen.

"A-are you *twitch* o-okay *twitch*?" I heard a familiar voice call out. I look up to see three familiar boys standing near the kitchen entryway "The b-b-back door w-was unl-l-locked" Hoodie explained upon seeing my confused face. I nodded before saying "I'm just struggling to manage my pain levels for my cycle" my head flopped back down on the pillows. Toby frowned before walking over and lifting my legs to lay on his lap "W-what *twitch* cha watching?" He asks.

"I just put 'Dumbo' on. Prepare the tissues as we watch an innocent child being separated from their mother" I muttered in response. Hoodie takes a spot in front of the couch on the floor while Masky sat on the lazyboy above my head "Sounds like fun" Masky says sarcastically and I responded just as sarcastic "I know, right?"

The proxies have been watching over me since we met 'Slenderman's orders' I haven't been able to make them cheesecake and waffles since the first day of my period, but I planned to pay them back for dealing with my hormonal problems.

Masky or Tim was sarcastic, tough, bad boy type but I think that he was developing a soft spot for me. He seemed like a careless asshole when you first meet him, but he's become more sympathetic in an awkward way. He's just very paranoid and distrusting with strangers. We've started a sarcastic banter each time we see each other. He has dark brown almost black hair with sideburns and fair skin with baby blue eyes.

Hoodie or Brian was the shy, quiet, average looking guy with a bad stutter. He's really close with Masky and acts as a mediator between Masky and Toby which is a good thing because of their butting personalities. He had messy light brown with hazel eyes and fair skin with a few freckles and moles here and there.

Ticci Toby or just Toby was a loud jumpy kid with a bubbly and borderline insane personality. He argues with Masky a lot and has a slightly concerning obsession with waffles, but overall extremely kind. He has a curly mop of medium brown hair with blondish brown highlights his eyes were a doe chocolate brown and were full of warmth and light his skin was pale with the occasional mole. He had a piece of flesh missing from his left cheek that made a hole in his mouth.

Overall all three were attractive and gave off a mysterious aura. All three tend to keep quiet around strangers and only spoke when needed. They seemed extremely loyal to 'Slenderman' their boss that holds some weird affection towards me despite the fact that we've never met. Though I suspect that he's the pale shadow that stands in the corner of my room every night.

Their attention in particular pissed Bella off. All three hated her because of her abusive and bullying behavior towards me. Masky was also the one Bella flirted with the most which resulted in Hoodie having to drag him away before he kills her.

I look over at a picture on the wall. It was the last picture taken before Renee left. Bella was six and sitting on Renee's lap, dad stood behind her with a three year old me in his arms resting on his hip. He held me away from Bella and Renee. They smiled at the camera with fake cheesy smiles while I stared off camera. Looking at us it was obvious that I was adopted.

Charlie had pale porcelain-ivory skin with messy curly chocolate brown hair and eyes. Renee was flat chested with reddish brown hair and gray-blue eyes her skin was slightly tan. Bella, who hadn't changed since adolescence, had alabaster skin with a flat chest and wispy, frizzy brown hair and reddish highlights and chocolate brown eyes. I, on the other hand, had raven hair with silvery, white highlights and grayish-white pale skin that mimicked the moon and my deep red eyes.

I was diagnosed with a rare form of Alexandria Genesis that mimicked Alibinism and heterochromia. That explained my unusual appearance and it kept me from questioning it for years, but seeing as I was adopted I began to wonder.... What did my my biological parents look like?
