Unmasked

Introduction

"Mary Anabel!" My mother yelled,"If you don't come here right now!"

I ran.

The last thing I needed was my mother punishing me anymore.

I pushed up the lock from my door and swung it open. I held up part of my skirt and ran to her, ready to clean up any mess Elisabeth made. I know she does it on purpose so I could clean it up, but there was nothing I could do about it. I mean, she is one of my sisters and she's my mothers Favorite.

"Yes, mother?" I asked.

Her face looked angry, then again it always does. Without moving her face, she looked down at me. Her forehead, forming wrinkles.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

"In my room" I told her, looking up at her eyes that looked like they kill me any second.

"Really, because I have been calling you for the past five minutes, and you know I hate using my voice!" As she said that, her voice began rising at every word until she ended yelling.

She put both her hands on her hips, waiting for me to reply.

I hesitated for a while, then confessed, "I was asleep."

"Really and why is that?" She asked, her brow rising.

I opened my mouth to speak, but she continued.

"Because I instructed everyone to now begin waking up before the sun even rose!" She squinted her eyes at me.

"Before...?" I try to remember the day that she did.

"Enough of your foolishness!" She shouted.

"Now clean this mess up" She waved her hand around a little puddle of purple liquid.

I groaned as soon as she was gone.

I began walking to the kitchen, down the hallway, and to the right.

My name is Mary Anabel, I was blamed for something I didn't do and for punishment I'm treated me like a slave to my mother and Sisters.

This is the story that changed my life.
