Aquamarine

I got you ángelos

Aqua POV

"You useless little shit!" The man that is supposed to be my father yelled as he hit me.

My name is Aquamarine Mercedes. I'm 4 years old and deaf in my left ear. You're probably wondering "how is she so smart?" well the answer is simple. I may be deaf in one ear but I can still hear out of the other one. I can read and write perfectly fine for my age. I can talk too but about a year ago I stopped talking. Every time I would talk or make a sound I was always hit. So I stopped. For the past two years my 'father' has been abusing me. I don't know why he suddenly started. I have a photographic memory so that means I remember everything that I see or hear. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Two years ago

I was just watching tv in my room when I heard yelling and glass breaking. I went to check it out and I barely made it two steps before something hit me across the face. I looked up and saw my father's angry face. He also smelled funny.

"Papa what's wrong?" I asked, only to receive another smack across my face.

I looked up at him with tears in my eyes because that's the first time he ever hit me.

"You're what's wrong you little skatá (shit)!" He yelled at me.

I understood what he was saying because Greek was my first language. At age 2 I was already fluent in 10 languages. That was the first time he ever raised his voice at me or called me a mean name.

"You're the reason she's dead!"

I knew he was talking about my mom who died giving birth to me. But that was two years ago. And for the past two years we were happy. We celebrated birthdays and Christmas . Whenever I was hurt he always kissed it better and gave me ice cream. He read me bedtime stories and tucked me in bed. Then I remember that at night I would hear him crying for my mom. I knew he missed her but he never once blamed me, until today.

"She would still be here if you hadn't been born!" He yelled as he continued to hit me and kick me till I lost consciousness. That was only the first of many beatings to come.

Present day

Apollo POV

I was bored today so I decided to visit my old "friend'' Calico Mercedes. He owes me a lot of money.

"Boss we're here." My driver said.

"Good. Let's get this over with." I said to my two closest men and best friends Eros and Luca.

As we walk into the pathetic excuse for an apartment, we hear yelling coming from the apartment where my target is. I open the door quietly to see what's happening and what I see makes my blood boil. I see Calico beating on a little girl who looks no older than 4. I decide to make my presence known by slamming the door to the wall. He turns around ready to yell at whoever barged in until he sees me and he visibly pales.

"A-Apollo. Wh-what can I do for you?" He stutters.

"Who's the girl?" I ask.

"No one." He answers a little too quickly.

"I wasn't asking. Tell me who the girl is." I demand.

"My daughter." He answers.

That just rubs me the wrong way and makes me mad. I look at the little girl and notice how she on the verge of passing out from the pain. I go over to Calico and punch him and he falls unconscious.

"Párte ton makriá." (Take him away.) I tell Eros and Luca.

I walk slowly towards the little girl as she looks up at me with frightened green eyes.

"I'm not going to hurt you little one." I say to her gently.

As I get a closer look at her I see her hair doesn't look like it been washed in a while, and it also looks like she hasn't been bathed in a while.

I move to gently pick her up and I feel her tense up against me. I make sure to carefully avoid putting too much pressure on her wounds that I'm guessing she has.  She slowly starts to relax against me until her head is in my neck.

"I got you ángelos." (You can guess what the word means) I say to her.

I knew from that moment that she was mine.
