  "Dear, wake up," A sweet voice whispered, I felt myself shake. I fluttered my eyes open to see Madam Lilith smiling above me, I sat up.

  "Sorry Madam Lilith. Did I fall asleep?" I asked blushing, I look terrible when I sleep and I make weird noises, it had something to do with my birth.

  "Yes, but that's alright. Your father wants to see you, go get cleaned up and meet him in his office," She informed and helped me up, I thanked her and walked over to the bathroom. I combed through my brown locks. I fixed up my blazer and pulled up my jeans. I looked through the drawers and grabbed a tube of lip gloss and quickly applied some.

  I hid it away and walked out of the bathroom and walked down the long hallway to my fathers room. I knocked on the door and was about to enter but ended up tripping over my untied shoelace. I let out a shriek and started laughing at my stupid self.

  I looked up to see my father with an angry expression on his face. I stopped laughing and scampered to my feet and looked down at my feet.

  "Stupid girl," He muttered and sat down back in his seat, I sat down on another seat but continued to look at my feet.

"Y-you asked f-for m-me f-f-father" I stuttered

"How many times do I have to tell you don't stutter and never call me your father! I am not your father, and you never will be my daughter" He growled, I bit my lip to stop the tears from falling and nodded slightly.

"I wanted you here to let you know that I will be holding a party tomorrow, you need to be dressed nicely. You will only be needed to be out there a few times so people won't get suspicious then the rest of the time you will be in your room asleep. Got it?" He explained, I nodded

"W-why are you having a p-party?" I asked quietly

"That is none of your concerns now, go and clean the house. I expect it to be spotless by midnight" He ordered, I nodded and got up from my seat and walked towards the door

"Oh and next time, don't sleep on the job or else next time you can sleep in the basement" He growled, my eyes widen at the memory of last time I was there, I nodded and exited the room quickly. I flew down the halls to fine Madam Lilith.

"Madam Lilith" I croaked, my voice sounded as if I were about to cry. It happens every time there is something that includes my father. He scares me, he is the cause of all my anxiety and panic attacks. He makes me cry at night. He makes me feel worthless. He blames me for the cause of my mothers death.

"Claire?" Madam Lilith's sweet voice called, I hurried over to wear her voice was heard and hugged her tightly, she stroked my hair

"Dear, what did he say this time?" She asked

"He said it again, he said I am not his daughter and he is not my father" I cry

"Why doesn't he like me Madam Lilith, what did I ever do to him?" I sob

"Why does he always say i'm worthless, a-am I r-really w-worthless?" I ask looking up at Madam Lilith with tears in my eyes

"Shush! Claire, you are no where near worthless! Your father is just, he just needs time" She assured

"How much time Madam Lilith?! Isn't fourteen years time enough?! Its going to be fifteen soon!" I whined and pulled away from her and tugged at my hair
