                                                                                     Chapter 2

   "Wake up, we are here" Marie's voice rang in my head, I slowly open my eyes to see an old house that looked like it belongs in a slasher film, should be too, especially cause of the events about to take place. The house was located on a long deserted road, which just adds to the creepiness..As I get out of the car, I feel a completely different atmosphere. I realized the feeling as sadness, I didn't take it very seriously. I should have, little did I know something bad, something evil would happen at this house.  Something that would scar me forever. literally. Marie noticed it too. she took out her cell phone and called someone. she stared at me the entire conversation.

"Are you sure this is the right house? Something doesn't feel right." She told some one on the other line. She lowered her voice and said something else, I only caught one thing "demonic.." She then hung up and walked over to me, and knelt down in front of me.

"Look, sweetie, if you don't want to live here, it's okay, I feel it too. I can find you some place new.. I'm sorry for what I said in the car, I was just..ughh never mind, I have these breakdown ever since..." Her voice trailed off and a single tear dripped down her soft flawless face.

"It's okay. I want to live here" I said in a squeaky voice ( hey I was 4, come on.) I looked at her and smiled, I was hoping she could be my mom, but something told me not to mention that.

"okay.. If you need anything call me." She gave me her number and information, I was never able to use it. She took me up to the door and introduced me to my new "parents".

"Hi, It's Marie, remember we talked about Aduo on the phone last week..." She was saying, I stopped paying attention after a while and went exploring,the house was old and moldy, IT was dark, not just the lighting but the atmosphere it self,it smelled like garlic, and onions in the house. I saw two kids sitting in front of the counter about 20 feet from the door.one was a girl, about 5 or 6, the other was about 3 or 4. I went up to the girl, (of course), and introduced my self, " Hi I'm Aduo, Who are you? Are you going to be my new sissy?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"No, Leave us alone, go back where you came from, you don't belong here!" She yelled at me and threw her food at me, which consisted of onions....and you guessed it, garlic(yum). She then proceeded to try to run to her room, tripping twice on the way, landing face first into a pile of dog shit.  She got up crying and ran into the bath room and slammed the door shut.

"It's okay, she has issues, she will get over it soon" Said a large man that looked about 45 said. "You'll be okay, I'm your new daddy now, You should say bye to Marie." He said. He walked me outside to Marie's car. She wouldn't look at me the entire time. "Bye Aduo. Bye Mr. Howard, take good care of him please."  She told him with a sad look in her eyes.

" I will, I promise, I'll take really good care of him" As he said this he grabbed my shoulder and squeezed as hard as he could. I stopped my self from crying out in pain. Oh how much I wanted to just break loose and run to her. To run into her arms and just cry on her shoulder..to call her Mom, But it never happened. She looked at me one last time and got in her car and pulled out of the drive way. I watched her start to pull out of the drive way, she then stopped with half of her car on the street and half of it on the drive way. My dad released me and I started walking towards her car. I saw the other car coming towards her, I wasn't able to do anything, it all happened so fast, I was less then 5 feet away from the car when the other car struck the front of her car, Her car flipped twice and shards just barely grazed my hip,leaving a scar the size of a dime right above my hip bone. Blood splattered across my face and my shirt, I started crying. I didn't even see my dad till he walked past me and checked the inside of the car and pulled her limp body out of the car and dragged it across the yard to the back. I looked for the car that struck her but I couldn't find it anywhere. I looked behind me and saw my dad disappear around the side of the house. I saw my mom in the door way, smiling, a very evil smile. I ran around to the back as fast as my stubby little 4 year old legs would take me. As I turned the corner I saw my dad holding an axe and placing it on her neck, I ran to him and grabbed his shirt and started crying

" What are you doing?! Please stop!" I cried pulling on the axe trying to take it away from him. He plucked me off his shirt and picked me up by my shirt and stuck me in front of his face.

"don't ever speak of this again, Never talk of her again, you don't know who she is and you don't know where the car came from, do you under stand?" He growled in my face, His breath smelled of beer and...well damn it, garlic and onions. seriously? who eats that shit for a meal? Anyways I started crying and he pulled me closer and yelled it this time " Do you understand or do I have to hit you?!" 

"Yes, I understand..please let me go.." I whimpered. He threw me aside like I was nothing.

"Can someone please get this kid!" He yelled. My mom walked out and dragged me inside. While I was being dragged I managed to get one good look at Marie, her hair was pulled back so I could see her face, she had a huge gash on the side of her face, It wasn't big enough or deep enough to kill her. So I was wondering if she was still alive or not. I was too scared to move or do anything. I looked at my dad and he waved to me. As me and my mom turned the corner, I saw him swing the axe, I saw her head roll, her eyes still open..Those gorgeous bright green eyes, just staring at me. It was at that moment that I realized...That my entire life, will be fucked.
