*Boom*

There is a loud bang in my room, I jump up and search everywhere for the noise. I see nothing, I look to my left and find my alarm clock now smashed on the floor. "Toby!" I yell and shuffle out of the warmth of my blanket.

His bedroom door slams just as I am about to walk in his room. "Toby! This isn't funny! Open up now, I swear to all that is holy if you don't open up right now!" his door slowly creeks open and he peeks through the crack. "Why were you in my room, and what did you do to my alarm clock," I try to calm myself down.

"I was only borrowing it, but it broke and I tried to return it but it slipped off your dresser," he pouts. "Don't try that with me," I huff, he only pouts more, I sigh and walk back to my room and close the door. Today is Tuesday, I am home schooled, since I had problems with my old school.

There is a knock at the door, I quickly finish washing my face and open the door. My mom is on her phone texting one of her clients. She owns five hotels currently. So yes we are very wealthy at the moment.

She doesn't glance up as she tells me that my teacher won't be here today because of a family emergency. My face shows no emotion as she turns and walks away, still texting on her phone. I got to shut the door but Toby comes running out of the room, in my underwear and bra singing to the barney song. "Toby!" I growl and chase after him.

He runs down the stairs and around dads legs before using the table to shield me from him. I pass my dad not even sparing a glance, not like he knew I existed anyways. "Get your three year old butt over here now!" we run around the table.

He laughs but is distracted by the cat rubbing up on his leg. Thanks snow, now I got him right where I want him. She purrs rubbing her pure white body against his leg and staring at him with her blue eyes. I quickly make my way over to him and grab him. He squeals and struggles to get out of my hold. His head swings back and catches my jaw and I drop him. He stares wide eyed at me and slowly backs away while setting my bra and underwear on the table, as if that would make things better

I hold my jaw, knowing there will be a light bruising there. My black hair falls over my face, Toby reaches the stairs and starts to run. I look up and chase him down. He almost makes it to his room but I jump and catch his leg making him fall. He lets out a scream and tries to pull away.

"Daddy! She's going to hurt me! Daddy!" Toby yells for dad and I can hear his heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. "What is it now Toby, I am busy, you know I have to leave for work in seven minutes," he fixes his tie and straightens out his clothes.

Toby runs to him and cries while hugging his legs. "Raven was trying to hurt me because I accidentally hit her," he sobs. My dad doesn't even glance at me, he bends down and pat Toby's head. He finally looks at me. "I don't want any problems today, leave your brother alone," I look into his eyes, they were not playful at all, they were serious and stern.

Tears threaten to spill from my eyes but I hold them back. Dad leads Toby to his room and goes to get in the car with mom. I stiffly turn around and walk into my room. I slam the door, my anger getting the best of me, "I hate you!" I scream over and over again. I punch at my walls adding to the other holes, but I don't stop. I throw things off my nightstand, off my bed, and off my dressers.

I pull out everything till the whole room is destroyed. I realize I am crying now, and I wipe at them harshly. My body slides down the wall as the tears keep coming. "Sissy?" Toby's small voice calls out. I don't look up, I don't want to look up.

I hear his little feet as he walks cautiously up to me. A sob breaks free and I grab his small little body and pull him toward me. He gives out a little gasp in surprise as I cry on his shoulder. "What wrong sissy," he slowly hugs me back. "Nothing, I just need a hug is all, I am sorry, I don't hate you, I am just so wrong inside," I sob. "It otay sissy, I am here," he hugs tighter and I calm down. Toby has fallen asleep on my chest and is snoring softly.

It may be early in the morning but he can sleep forever. Gently I pick him up and walk him into his room and lay him in his bed. I close his door but not before turning on his night light. "Where is your teacher?" my older brother James comes up behind me, and only in his boxers.

To be honest this is the fourth time he has talked to me...not that I counted. He is really popular, especially with the girls at his school. "She couldn't make it," he looks at me for a few seconds then walks down the stairs into the kitchen. You would think that he would be expelled by now with the days he has been missing in school.

I linger a little in the same spot and then start to go downstairs. The urge to run outside hits me. I look at the door and make a run for it. The sun shines onto my pale face, filling me with warmth. I run down the road, passing neighbors and giving a little wave to Mrs. Genovy as she plants her flowers. There is a trail in the woods that they use for hunting in the summer time so I run over to it. Since it is still kind of winter there shouldn't be any hunting.


I head over to a big tree that I have carved my name into with a rock when I was little. There is a little hole at the bottom in which I stored my stuffed bear and bunny, when I wanted to play I could just take them out. I reach under and pull them out, they were dirty and a torn but still intact. I give a sigh and put them back under hoping the squirrels don't take them as hostages.

I lay on the cold ground with my hands crossed over my stomach just looking at the sky and the leafless trees. Sleep is about to claim me but I hear a crunching sound behind me. I freeze, thinking that it was one of the bears that was reported seen in here. I turn slowly and find....
