FIGHT FOR ME

3} Silent Rage

[Siony's pov]

As Rozen and I parted ways, I made my way back to the estate my mother bought just for me and Claudius to study here at the Castle of Legendaries. It was only a 30 minute walk from there to the school, but it felt like forever and it was sickening. The sky was dark already, air was cold, and the path I trailed in was quiet and peaceful, yet I felt a splitting headache form in my head.

The giant mansion door slammed shut as I entered inside. I held my palm against my forehead from the headache as my eyes winced from the bright glow of the chandelier right above me.

"SIONY!!! is that you??" a voice shouted from the living room right up ahead.

It was mom. Shit. Shit. SHIT. I panicked, fumbling back and forth. There were still bruises all over me and two bandages on my face, one bandage on my neck, I can't let her see it. I'm so physically drained that I can't use my own healing Spade skill on myself.

"Siony???" she called again, "come over here now." she demanded.

I walked slowly down the long hallway making my way to the living room, which felt like forever. My body shivered into a cold sweat, and the bangs on either side of my face bounced as I moved. She was mad already, I forgot to tell her I was coming home late and now it's 6 pm. I am so fucked. I held one of my bruised elbows with my hand tightly, and breathed in.

"Why are you so late today Siony?" she almost yelled if it was not for the steady volume of her voice. Mother had her hands on a dark red, gold outlined book with her reading glasses on. She took her glasses off and uncrossed her legs then got off the couch. With each and every step she made, her death stare got closer and closer to me and I felt myself shaking inside. It was so obvious I had gotten scratched up earlier and she noticed.

"you got into trouble today."

"again."

She gave me a harsh slap on the right side of my face with the back of her hand, and you could see how much it hurt in my eyes. Not on my face, but my heart.

She gave me a look, her eyes questioning me 'are you seriously about to cry?', I saw it from the corner of my eye but I didn't dare look back at her. Of course I'm not about to cry, I haven't let myself cry in years.

She saw the look in my eyes too. That's why she didn't think to punish me further, because I knew I had just disappointed her and she knows it. I heard her voice in my head, her scoldings from previous years replay in my mind.

"and what is it that you did wrong this time?"
"I didn't mean t-"
*SLAP*
"I-...I let my anger get the better of me."
"and that is your weakness."

'And that is why I disappoint you, mom.' I finished the past memory of her sentence with my own thoughts. It wasn't something she said to my face, but I knew she thought it. She thought it every single time she hits me.

My body was hurting so bad. His stones crushed my bones and I could barely move. I crept back quietly to the dorm connected to the school, moments away from fucking fainting yet being cautious no one saw me. God fucking damn it. I keep getting myself into so much trouble, my limbs were screaming. My hands shook as I unlocked the door to my room, my legs wobbled as I approached the bed and collapsed on top of it not even bothering to turn on a light.

The dark blue scenery filled my room and I could barely see anything before my eyes finally focused to the darkness. There was still a little light coming in the window, as the sun started to set. it was almost an hour after school ended.
