Angelic Blood Series Book 1:Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1:Jason goes sassy

"Honestly Megan,grow up. You need to stop being so stubborn and get your life together." My father sternly said as he hits the glass dining table.

"My life is together just fine,Dad. You need to stop being so controlling." I tried to make myself sound firm and strong,not wavered by his harsh tone.

He continued,"You will be taking over the company in the future. You will be the sole heir to everything I worked for. Don't you let it all go to waste."

"I'm doing my best! What more do you want of me?" I demanded.

"Much more than this rubbish! Your mother is already down with cancer and yet you behave like this?" He threw a porcelain bowl towards my direction but aims it on the far right.

I cringed as I heard the bowl shatter into pieces on the floor and as one piece cuts me on the arm. I felt all my anger melt into my shoes. Talking about Mom was a touché subject for me. We found out Mom had cancer recently and it was already at stage Two. She's currently hospitalised,Doctors are trying to stabilise her.Ever since then,Dad started going more firm and strict with me. It didn't really help the situation that I was a splitting image of Mom. Whenever Dad sees me,its like he's taking a punch in his stomach. He became more cold towards me and started going abusive. It drove me crazy so I attempted to run away. But of course,I got caught. I always get caught. Stupid security guards everywhere.

"You don't think I care about Mom too? I love her as much as you do,Dad. So stop pressuring me! I'll figure it all out on my own. You need to stop treating me like I'm a child!" I yelled at him before proceeding to storm up to my room,holding onto my arm as I felt blood trickling down.

"Megan Bethany Reed! You better-"

I slammed the door and flopped onto my bed,not caring I had a big cut on my arm that was bleeding profusely.

Dad was getting worse and worse. Everyday,he would send the chauffeur to drive me to the company to see how the company runs and expects me to remember all the policies,positions of staff,the company's stocks, blah blah blah. He's also paying close attention to my grades now. And worst of all,he starts to shout and yell at me for no apparent reason. Sometimes he would get really violent and throw things at me or hit me. I understand that he loves Mom a lot and finding out she had cancer made a huge impact on him.. But why resort to such ways?

I screamed into my bed sheets so it was muffled. I rolled over to my side,only to see that my tears and blood from the cut had already stained the sheets. "Screw it." I mumbled.

I miss Mom.. I miss how she always was here for me when I needed her the most. I miss how Dad used to be. I missed how our family used to be. Everything seems to be falling apart,like someone is tearing my life down brick by brick at a time.

Exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep.

Where am I? I looked around the dark void and suddenly it shifted to a scene. It was as if I was watching some kind of memory. Clouds as soft and pure were floating around and I - I was amidst all of it, floating in the air.

"Megaria, there you are. I've been looking for you everywhere." A deep voice said behind me, with a hint of concern and love in it.

I turn, only to see a magnificent sight of pure snow white wings,extended to its fullest. I gasp. The voice belonged to a boy around my age was smiling warmly at me. Suddenly, I spoke with a voice that was not mine."Took you long enough,Ronav."

I blame it on myself. Being the stubborn and forgetful person that I am,I forgot to bandage my cut on my arm and got woken up by the pain. I groaned as I dragged my half asleep body to the bedside table and pulled open the drawer,revealing a First Aid Box I hid there just in case. I bandaged my arm tightly as I thought about the dream I had before got ready and dressed for school and walked to the dining room. After what happened yesterday and the weird-ass dream, I had no mood for breakfast and seeing all those empty chairs at the table. I didn't want to stay any longer in that cold big empty house that doesn't feel like home anymore.
