paranoid love

The abused

Alinia was now a high school graduate at the age of 12, no one would know of this since she had no friends. After that eventful day, Mrs. Merlan never came back,alinia waited and waited for her to walk down the stairs with a stack of papers in her arms with a gentle smile on her face. That day has yet to come, it's been a while 2 month waiting for that day. Oh, it's been lonely for alinia. Usually, she's doing work and having fun but there's no one for her to have fun with. She sat in the corner of the room day and night with the bit of food her father would bring every morning when he came to unchain her and every night when he went to chain her back to the floor. It fell now and it was getting colder every night in the cement room, the floor and walls felt as if they were made of ice. The chains made her wrists feel as if they were burning her from how cold they felt on her skin. She had no blanket to keep her warm, only herself. It got colder at night now. Alinia had been hearing her father up at night throwing things, screaming, and slamming the front door closed when he would leave. It got worse on the night of January 7th, the sound of glass breaking and moaning filled the house. 

Screaming was heard as if someone was in excruciating pain. But then it went quiet, you could listen to a drip of water from a faucet miles away. Then the door at the top of the stairs opened with a loud creak, footsteps that sounded as if thunder was rolling in the sky came down the stairs, and slowly a body was revealed. First, there were newly polished shoes with gold imprints on them, then gray slacks with specks of blood on them. From the torso, you could tell it was a man, and the chest wore a white throw-over tank top. The face of man was her father with light blond hair, hazel eyes, and a detailed face. He looked angry as his eyes squinted at alinia and his jaw clenched,alinia felt afraid of the man in front of her as she had heard of what he was doing upstairs. He took slow calculating steps towards her, eyes wild with rage that would make anyone cower down at the feeling you felt looking into them. 

Soon he reached the frightened child who was now shaking. Matt crouches down to her heightening a fluent motion,"alinia that promise still holds meaning, I think it's time I show you " matt says with a sadistic smile. Locking her to the floor by the chains and shackling her feet together, so that she cannot move. He stood and walked to the corner of the room, and opened a door that alinia didn't even know was there. Soon he pulled out knives, nails, a blow torch, and anything you can think of to hurt someone was brought out and laid across the table. He brought a strip of cloth out and tied it around alinias eyes, she was frightened. Screaming as she struggled against the chains to not have to feel she knew to come. Matt walked away from her picking something up off the table,alinia did not understand what he had grabbed. Only she felt pain down her arm, he had brought a knife and dragged it down her arm in such slow motion. Going deeper and deeper with every inch the blade was in her skin, finally, he pulled away in a quick motion that hurt alinia as the blade had been pulling at her flesh. 

Soon she felt a warm liquid flowing down her arm, she was smart enough to realize it was blood. Alinia hoped that that was all he was gonna do, oh but she was wrong, soon she felt a needle in her skin and cloudy ness in her thoughts. The cloth around her eyes was removed, and she started blinking to get the blurriness away. Feeling pressure on her arm, she looked down to see her father bandaging her arm ." we can't have you dying on the first day now can we" he said in a sickening tone. Alinia still felt groggy from what was ever injected into her, soon matt left and it went back to being quiet. Looking at the walls she has seen people walking in them and cats fighting on a street. Trees as tall as the sky with little red flowers on them, she was imagining. The drug she was given was not something a simple person would know "any tiara" is what it is called. She had read it in a book when she was about to finish school, side effects were "hallucinations, fever, cold chills, and seizures".The drug was not meant for children under the age of 18 as the side effects were to be worse. Soon alinia stopped seeing things but was instead shaking with chills that rocked through her body .

 Alinia fell asleep from exhaustion soon after, the bandage on her arm came off in the panic of the actions. Morning came soon to the old house, Matt walked down the stairs to the girl with a plate of oatmeal and water. As he walked into the room he dropped the plate of food going everywhere. In shock, he ran towards alinia in a hurry as she was pale and blood slowly dripping from her arm ." I can't let her die'' he thought as he unchained her from the floor and wall. Alinia's breathing was shallow and her chest rise and fell lightly. Running up the stairs into the kitchen matt set the girl down and grabbed the phone. Pushing in a number the phone started to ring " this is ross eno how may I help you " spoke the voice .'' Ross, I need that favor " the line went silent for a second '' when? where? And who ?" Rosse spoke in a serious and hushed voice. "Now, here, and my dau-cousin, " Matt said as he caught himself on what he was about to say ." be there soon "then the line went dead as matt stood there staring at the girl on the counter. Slowly setting the phone down he looked at the girl with an unusual expression on his face, was it admiration? No, it couldn't he hated the girl, she killed his wife with no mercy. The look soon vanished from his face as there was a loud quick set of knocks on the front door. With long quick strides, matt made it to the door, his hand reached for the handle in a fluent motion that had been opened. There stood a short man in sweats and a black t-shirt with a heavy black bag clutched tightly to his side.' comin' matt rushed out as the man walked in the door at a fast pace. Seeing the girl ross quickly made his way to her.

Matt stood back as ross checked her vitals and got to work. Cleaning the wound and applying a new bandage to it," what happened to her arm? "The question came suddenly startling Matt who had just been staring at the girl ." oh uh she fell and sliced her arm on a nail I guess I didn't put the bandage on correctly " .matt sputtered out in a slow-thinking voice. Ross just hummed as he believed him yet he knew he was lying. Ross wondered what happened to the girl, he knew this wasn't from a nail but a gagged slice. As his mind was going over what could've created the world, matt was looking at the man for an answer as in if the thing in front of him was going to live or not." she will live but check the band age for blood leakage "ross spoke as he was cleaning up his tools and putting them back in his bag.
