Ella's pov:-
I was packing my sparkling indigo bag for my first day of school. This is so exciting. I will make new friends, learn something new, and much more. But there is one thing that upsets me, my elder sister, Florence doesn't like the idea of me going to her school. In fact, she hated me the whole time. I have done nothing but say a few words and she would beat me up, sometimes choke me up, and sometimes red thick liquid would come out of me every time she hits me which now I know as blood. I resumed my work and listened to the argument echoing behind the walls.
It was between Maman (mother) and my big sister Florence. "I told you Florence, Ella is going to your school and that is final"
" How many times do I have to say that she is not going to my school no matter what happens, she already made this house a living hell, and I don't want this little monster to come and make my school a hell"
"That is not how you talk to your sister Florence"
" SHE. IS. NOT. MY. SISTER MOM and she will never be, just like Garrett"
"ENOUGH! GO TO YOUR ROOM FLORENCE, ELLA IS GOING TO YOUR SCHOOL AND THAT IS FINAL"
"but....."
"NO BUTS, NOT ONLY ARE YOU DISRESPECTING BUT YOU ALSO CALLING ME 'MOM'. I TOLD YOU TO NOT CALL ME MOM"
"If only Dad is here-"
"ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR DAD FLORENCE AND LEAVE"
"UGH!"
I don't understand why she hates me, I have done nothing to her yet she hates me. I silently sat on the cold floor when the world started to turn blurry and in a blink, it became clear but only a drop formed and rolled on my soft cheek. Slowly more of them started to come out and formed a stream. My heart suddenly felt so heavy as a rock and I felt it sinking into the ocean of depression. Then I felt something lumpy in my throat and decided to let it go. I couldn't handle the pressure inside of me and curled myself into a ball.
Then in the atmosphere of despair, I felt a hand on my shoulder. The hand brought a little hope and happiness along with it which lifted my heavy heart a little. "What's wrong Ella?" a familiar voice asked. I turned up to see my big brother Carter. "N-N-Nothing brother, I'm just...upset" I stutter. "You know she doesn't mean that. She is just nervous about you going to the same school as her and she doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone" he said in a confronting voice. " Then if that's the case, why did she say that I bring hell to her and what is this 'Satan'? Is it a bad thing? Does it mean I am an m-m-m-monster?" I replied. It hurts me a lot that the fact my big sister called me a monster. I couldn't handle it anymore and let the drops fall out of my eyes.
Carter took a deep breath and hugged me lovingly and told me something that made me smile," Florence has been a very bad girl ever since we moved here and when our eyes finally met yours. She has nothing that can make her happy even though we tried our best to make her and gave her all the love we have, she would never be satisfied so she received several punishments to teach her some discipline but she would never learn. Do you know why? because she has a heart of ice unlike you who is always energetic and cheerful, kind, honest, respectful to many people, and always cherishes many people and our little star of the family. Don't let her get you and you are no monster, you are an angel who came straight from heaven, and you have a heart of gold. And if she tried to hurt you, not only me but the whole family, we will always protect you never forget this". " I felt my heart lifted from the ocean and fly like a little bird, free formed its cage. The drops continued but this time in happiness and seeing my brother hug got tighter I finally decided to hug him back, letting all the pressure go to him. I felt safe in his arms." Thank you" I softly whispered, " Anything for you Ella" he whispered back and we both stayed that way for hours.
"Now let's get you to the bed" he whispered and carried me towards my soft clean rainbow bed ( the blanket is rainbow). He laid me there and kissed me on the cheek. I giggled. "Now close your eyes and go to sleep". "Good night brother and thank you for making me feel better", "You're welcome my little star," he said, and slowly I felt my eyes weighing down and soon everything turned pitch black. I can't wait for my first day of school.
Florence's pov:-
Just wait and watch Ella, if I can't convince my mother and Gryffindor to change schools, I will convince the school to remove you from it. Just wait and see.....
