The Runaway Muggle Born

Chapter 1

(M=mom A=Avery)

Avery Knighton was a normal 10 year old child. Well, what normal seemed like in the muggle world, not that she knew what the word muggle meant. She had long black hair which she had been dyed weeks before and a lot of freckles on her face, she was tall for her age. She was dressed with a black baggy hoodie with black sweatpants and her glasses she always had to wear. It was the day before her 11th birthday. She was sat in her bedroom reading as she always does because she didn't want to face her parents. Luckily enough she had managed to avoid them all day as it was now 7pm. Until the next minute all she could hear was;

M: AVERY KNIGHTON. GET YOUR FUCKING ASS DOWN THE STAIRS, YOU NEED TO CLEAN THIS WHOLE HOUSE BEFORE 9PM!!!

A: ok, coming mom. *she whispers underneath her breath* ugh when am I gonna get out of this house...

Avery heads downstairs where she sees both her parents sat there. Her mother was really annoyed from the house being a mess and her dad well he was drinking as per usual.

M: AVERY I HAVE TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES YOU'RE MEANT TO CLEAN THIS HOUSE. WHY IS IT THIS MESSY? IF THIS HOUSE IS NOT FULLY CLEAN BY 9PM YOULL BE GROUNDED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Avery stayed quiet as her mother shouted at her, she was used to it at this stage..but it still hurt her so much. Every day she would get shouted at if she wasn't hiding in her room, even if she was in her room she would still get shouted at. Avery looked around the sitting room to see beer cans everywhere along with a whole load of other rubbish just thrown around the place. when she looked up at the clock she realized it was close to 5 past 7 at night already. If she didn't start working soon, she wouldn't be able to go outside on her birthday to escape her family.

After she finished mopping, sweeping and hoovering the whole floor along with dusting all the shelves and washing the windows in the sitting room, she then had to move onto the kitchen where she did the same along with washing the dishes that were still there from the dinner. She had to cook an hour earlier. After getting the dishes done she realized it was already half past 8, she was running out of time but she still had to finish the kitchen and clean her parents room along with her own room and the bathroom. She knew she wasn't gonna get it done and she was gonna have to spend her birthday at home with her parents who wouldn't even care that it was her birthday. She felt things getting bad in her head like it always does when she's around her parents, hence why she always wore long sleeves and long pants. She never wanted to show what happens when things get to much for her, or if she doesn't get things done in a set amount of time. She quickly finished up cleaning the kitchen as fast as she could and even got the hall cleaned before it hit 9pm.

M: AVERY KNIGHTON. YOU BETTER HAVE THIS WHOLE HOUSE CLEAN OR ELSE YOU KNOW WHATS COMING FOR YOU.

Avery hid in her room that she had started to clean until she heard her mother shouting. Before she went to her hiding spot she grabbed her kit so her mother wouldn't find it and have another reason to shout at her for and maybe even do worse. What was in this kit? Well no one knew really, but after getting into her hiding spot and hiding the kit it wasn't long before her mother barged into her room.

M: I TOLD YOU TO HAVE THIS PLACE FULLY CLEAN BY 9PM. WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU CHILD? GET OUT HERE NOW, I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE.

Avery had tried her best to stay quiet but she accidentally hit something onto the floor making a noise that her mother heard. When her mother got to the wardrobe where Avery was hiding, she dragged her out of it and continued to shout at her. She made Avery finish cleaning the rest of the house which she didn't end up getting finished until half past 11 at night. As she fell onto her bed drained of energy, she remembered where she had left her kit and she quickly ran over to get it making sure she didn't make much noise. After taking it out, she looked outside her bedroom door to see if her parents were around. She couldn't see them and all she could hear was both of them downstairs in the sitting room snoring clearly after getting too drunk to even get back upstairs.

She slowly closed her bedroom door making sure it wouldn't make any noise to wake up her parents and went back over to her bed where the kit was. when she opened the kit she saw exactly what she was looking for; the blades and some bandages. However, she didn't want to use the bandages. She rolled up her sleeves to reveal all the previous scars she had all along her arms. She grabbed her blades from the kit and thought, 'maybe this would finally be it and all my suffering would be over.' She uses the blade and cuts into her skin making it deeper than it was meant to be. it began bleeding more than expected so she quickly grabbed the bandages to cover it up making them tight enough so it wouldn't bleed through. She started to feel really dizzy at this point because of the blood loss..Her eyes went blurry so she swiftly hid everything back in her kit and placed it away from herself as she lies back on her bed. She looked at the time on her clock that said it was 11:55pm, meaning it was 5 minutes away from her birthday. The more she thought about what happened and badly she wanted to get out of the house. The more she thought the dizzier she got, to the point she passed out asleep before it could hit 12am. The day of her birthday.
