"Y/n and Megan Moon, what brings you in so early?" One of the police officers asked sarcastically. Every single officer in this unit is used to me and my sister constantly coming in here.
"Don't bother asking questions you already know the answer to," I answer blankly, narrowing my eyes in hopes of finding my dad in the crowd of criminals. To me, it was funny to see my dad in here, crammed shoulder to shoulder with other filthy men in a shallow prison cell. They remind me of tinned sardines. I smiled to myself. They could probably pass as sardines as well, considering how ugly and grey they all were.

"Mean as always Y/n," another one of the officers scoffed, "you know men don't like girls who have so much teeth."

"Hey, lay off creep. She's a minor." My sister jumps in before I can come to my own defence, "We're just here for our dad, "

"Don't get upset that we weren't talking to you cupcake. Your sister is just ten times prettier," yet another one of the usual officers chimed in.
My sister scoffed as I just grimaced.

"Where's our dad? I don't want him anymore than you do, so if you don't just tell us now, then you'll just have to keep him forever," I spit, hesitantly locking eyes with one of the officers. I want to beat him up. I hate police officers, they go around in uniforms, flaunting thier guns and shiny badges, doing whatever the fuck they want to whoever the fuck they want because as long as they play dress up in that police suit, they're untouchable from the law. Well, at least they all think they are.

"He's just in there, sunshine."
Laughter erupts from the men in uniform as I roll my eyes and walk over to my dad after grabbing my sisters arm.

Eventually, after signing a bunch of shit, we were finally on the road to going home.

"Finally," I breathed out as soon as we left the grimy police station.
"Thanks for letting me out again, girls. I don't know what I'd do without you." My dad cheerfully pipes up, a warm, plastic smile etched across his face. A smile on my dad just looks unnatural. I hate when he smiles, and I hate when he's happy. He doesn't deserve to be happy.
"Well I know," I scoffed, "you'd be ten feet in a fucking ditch and I would probably be on a yacht with my sister enjoying my life instead of living out my days in some crusty old apartment."
This made my dad fall silent. As his smile fades away, I can't help but smile to myself. All in a days work.

"Don't talk to him like that, Y/n.." My sister began, but I just rolled my eyes and looked down at my shoes.

I hate it here.

As soon as we got into the apartment, I ran to my room, shoved some spray paints in a bag, and opened my window.
I didn't want to be here, and as soon as I left to my room, I could hear my dad's aggravated yelling. My head burned as all I could think about was how much my sister loved him and let him hurt me. Well, now she was going to feel what I feel, I hope he hurts her, but only enough to knock some sense into her thick skull. Now she'll have to put up with being hurt by him instead of me.

"Y/N, COME BACK HERE!" I hear my dad shout as my sisters sobbing made noise through the floorboards and up into my spine, sending erratic chills throughout my whole body. Holy shit, is she okay?
My feet felt frozen in place, and everything seemed to stay still because today I had a choice. Today, I could run. I wasn't trapped or baracaded in a room with my dad, I had an escape, and I could leave right now. A solution has never been so clear.
Forget my dad, forget Megan.

Without thinking, I scrambled out of the window, I didn't think about what would happen to Megan if I left, I didn't think about any of it. I just ran.

I stood on the windowsill and turned my whole body to the right side of the wall, allowing my hands to stick to the cold, hard, red brick. After settling my hands onto the wall, I hastily started to add my feet, feeling them stick to the wall, I stuck there for a minute before letting go and free falling down, shooting a Web from my wrist just in time before hitting the ground. I released the web and landed on my hands and knees, quickly hiosting myself up and pelting down the dull alleyway.

I felt free as my feet finally touched solid ground, and I ran, my feet slapping on the hard pavement as my arms were blurs shooting out from my sides. I pushed and shoved my way through people, ignoring their angry remarks and judgemental stares. The wind whistled in my ears as I ran until there was no more pavement to run on. I stopped, but the voice in my head only continued, "Why stop now?" I jumped onto the road, traffic beeping and blaring past me. People had rolled down their windows to scream at me, but I didn't care. I ran past all of it, and I kept running until I felt like I was going to die.

I hopped over a fence that separated the road from a big field and allowed my entire body to flop down into the long grass. My breath was shallow, and in my eyes, I could see stars, but I was free.

I'd never been this far out of the city before, and it was amazing. I breathed as the reality of what I had just done hit me with an aching and soul crushing force.
What was going to happen to my sister?

I felt my chest getting weighed down until I couldn't breathe anymore.
I gasped for air as tears started cascading from my eyes.
What have I done? What is he going to do to Megan? What if I just made it worse for her by leaving? Why did I have to be so selfish and leave her like that?

I get up from where I was sat. Where even am I? I tried looking around, but the search only made me more confused. My breathing was slowly coming back as I tried collecting my thoughts, I needed to go home.

Even though my legs felt like jelly and every atom in my body was begging me not to leave, I knew I had to.
I started to walk in the opposite direction back into the city, as the noise of traffic slowly started returning to my ears I heard something behind me. A rumbling, volcano-errupting kind of sound.

I turned around, confusion plastered all over my face only to feel the floor beneath me practically vibrate as colours of purple, magenta and blue started to entangle the sky, the galaxy colours mixed with the darkish blue like paint, swirling around each other. I stared in confusion and shock.
"Am I tweeking?" I say out loud, half-convinced this was all just a hallucination.

I stare in bewilderment as the sky slices itself up, gaping open a hole.

Is it.....a portal?
