Jade was trembling violently, covering her ears, hiding in a far corner of a kitchen trying to make herself as small as possible. Her back was pressed tightly into the corner, listening to her dad shout at her, telling her off for whatever she had done this time, which just happened to be asking him to take her to the store because she needed to get some pads since her period had started and she was out. He, instead of responding and just driving her to the store, decided that she was asking for too much, and had forgotten her place and, therefore, had to be re-put into her place. He was currently at the stove, heating the potato masher inside of the oven, glaring at her.
Jade trembled, gazing at him in fear, tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't hide. He'd find her anyway, "I-I'm sorry, I, I shouldn't have asked. I won't ask again." she said through sobs, trembling violently in fear.
Her dad glared at her, rolling his eyes. He bore a striking resemblance to Jade, or at least how she looked before she had been forced to have a power. He had shaggy black hair, blue-grey eyes, a chevron mustache, and a tall, thin but muscular build. Everything about her came from him, except for her laugh and smile. Both of those were from her mom, who wasn't alive anymore. She was only about 10 at the time.
"Jade, do you know everything I go through for your incessant 'needs'" he made a finger movement at the word needs like they were made up, "You need new clothes because your old ones never fit, you need food, apparently almost every new school you need me to pick you up because you decided to get yourself into a fight with some stupid kids over who knows what?! The world doesn't revolve around you and what you 'need.' Now, since this isn't the first time you've done some stupid stunt like this, it's about time we give you a lesson, isn't it?!" He growled out, before opening the oven, pulling out the potato masher, which had a slight red tinge from the heat.
Jade whimpers in fear, watching him, trembling violently from fear, shaking her head quickly. "N-no, I-I-I won't do it again dad, just please don't do this!" she said trembling violently, pushing farther into the corner before whining in pain and fear as he grabbed her at the base of her hair, dragging her onto her feet forcefully.
"It's too late for apologies or empty promises, you little brat." He barked at her, before dragging her out of the kitchen, to her bedroom where the curtains were closed. He then forcefully shoved her onto the bed, forcing the back of her shirt up to expose her back. He then pressed her face into the pillow to muffle her cries, "Remember brat, this is what happens when you don't behave." He snapped, before pressing the potato masher onto the lower right side of her back.
Jade let out a frightened scream of terror, squirming and trying to get away, but her dad used his body weight to keep her pinned on the bed. After about a minute, he pulled the potato masher off, releasing her. Jade scrambled up, before quickly shifting to the other side of the bed, gazing at him in terror.
Her dad glared at her and said, "Remember this, brat, the next time you even think about bugging me with these incessant 'needs,'" he turned, going to leave, before saying, "Oh, and no leaving your room for the rest of the day. Leave you here to think about what you've been doing." He snapped, before closing and locking the door, leaving her alone.
Jade whimpers, sobbing in fear as she hides her face in her hands, curling up onto her left side in pain. She sobbed softly, starting to feel like someone was shaking her violently, even though she was in the room asleep. As she sobbed harder, she heard a voice saying, "Jade, you need to wake up. Jade."
After a bit, Jade gasped lightly, her eyes flying open in fear. Her cheeks felt wet with tears, the area on the pillow she'd been sleeping on soaked with tears. She quickly looked around confused, wiping her eyes.
