Gift

Chapter 3- Training

~>Macy's pov<~

I needed to impress dad. Last time we practiced I could only make 3 people see different things and he said that someone from the Russian school could do 5. Meaning he needed me to do 10.

That Russian girl is 17 but he doesn't care. I know he loves me. He jus wants me to be the best and sometimes he can do some mean things to get me to the best.

He didn't let me follow the normal program for my gift. He made me a special one. I shouldn't of started until 6 but I started at 3.

Instead of still objects at 1 years of practice he made it 1 month.

He made me train 8 hours a day. I hated it but he said it was because I needed to be challenged. So I believed him.

Next he taught me moving objects in 1 year instead of 4, moving people in 1 and a half years instead of 5. Now I was on multiple images and I was on my last year to finish it.

I was 7 and a half when I got to it and I was 10 at that point. I only had a few months to get 10 people to see different things.

There were 10 on dad's men stood in a group each one of them had a sign with a word on around their neck.
'apple, leaf, bird, dog, fence, hat, bag, bunny, zebra, bee'.

"You've got this, just focus" dad said encouragingly. I gave him a quick nod and closed my eyes, the words repeating in my head.

"Okay everyone when you see your item just put a hand up" dad commanded.

"Yes sir!" they chorused.

apple, leaf, bird, dog, fence, hat, bag, bunny, zebra, bee.
apple, leaf, bird, dog, fence, hat, bag, bunny, zebra, bee.

One by one all the men put up a hand in the air silently, all but one.

"Come on, one more, honey" he whispered.

I tried as hard as I could but no matter how much effort I used nothing happened.

"I can't!" I exclaimed frustratedly.

He grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the warehouse.

He didn't say a word as he walked me all the way back to the room.

It's his fault for expecting me to be able to do all of this so quickly and he's getting mad at me for not being able to do twice as much and someone nearly twice my age!

He unlocked the door and pushed me onto the floor making me knock over the dollhouse. I fell to my knees and stared up at him.

"You can come out when you grow up and actually try!" he screamed at me.

I just screamed and bawled on the floor for what felt like hours. When I stopped I was met with silence. I never liked silence. It's normally why I make someone to talk to. I do see the others sometimes but they see me as an outcast because of my relationship with dad.

When I got here it was only K.C and jayden. Not that I remember any of it. Then when I was 3 lucie came, when I was 6 nuo arrived, and when I was 7 sparky got here.

It's been 3 years since a new person came. Not that I'd talk to them or anything for a while because dad's locked me up in here.

I could tell it was getting late from the skylight in my having faded from a light blue to a deep navy colour. I walked over to my bed and sat down, my eyes beginning to water again.

I led down and closed my eyes as tight as i could in hope of falling asleep. It felt like hours, but I know it happened eventually as I woke up the next morning .
