Chapter 3: The Next Morning

It was dark and cold, you huddled up in the corner trying to keep yourself warm. Not only that, but you were also trying to feel protected.

You could hear banging and yelling, trembling with dread and trying to keep as quiet as you possibly could.

Suddenly your door slammed open and you whimpered, trying to curl up even further into a ball.

Heavy footsteps slowly approached you as you jammed your eyes shut trying to back up further into the corner, despite having already gone as far as you could.

The footsteps stopped and you slowly lifted your head up and opened your eyes. A figure stood above you in the dark, unmoving and silent.

"You.....USELESS PIECE OF SHIT!!!" The yelling was sudden and loud, the words hurting deep inside of you as you whimpered again.

The figure then raised its fists and balled them up.

"How could you ever be a son of mine?" It spat and reeled its fists back, closing in on punching you.

You screamed and everything went black just as the fist connected with your face.

You awoke quickly with sweat pouring down your face, breathing quickly and heavily.

"J-just....a dream...." You sighed with relief as you held your head with one of your hands, while lifting the other up into the sunlight that was shining into your room.

You observed your arm, turning it around to get a good look at everything. There was many scars, scratches and bruises right the way up and down your arm.

It wasn't the only place you had them as they were scattered all across your body.

"Scarring quite badly...." You sigh and drop your arm before slowly falling onto your back.

For a while you laid there and stared at the ceiling, getting lost in your thoughts. That was until, you heard a knock at the door which startled you and made you sit up again.

"Y/N? Are you awake?" It was the headmistress and you could feel your body relax again when you realised it was her.

"Y-yeah.....I am." You called out as loudly as you could.

However it was still pretty quiet and you were surprised that she had heard you at all when she opened the door and walked into the room.

"Good morning Y/N! Did you sleep well?" She asked as she approached.

"F-Fairly well yeah...." You said.

"Are you sure? You seem to have been sweating quite a bit. Is everything okay?" She asked, concerned.

".....j-just had a nightmare....th-that's all....." You responded.

"I see....do you want to talk about it?" She took a seat as you shook your head.

"N-No....not yet anyway....." You said.

"Alright. I can tell that there are many things that trouble your mind Y/N. When you feel the time is right, you can talk to me okay?" She said, slowly reaching over and placing her hand on yours.

You turned your gaze down to her hand and stared at it for a little while before looking back up at her and nodding your head.

"Now then, I've arranged a meeting with my staff so I can introduce you and tell them what is going on. Do you think that would be okay?" She asked.

"S-sure....I-I guess...." You shrugged.

"Excellent! But before that, you must be hungry." She said and right on cue, your stomach rumbled loudly making her smile.
