A new chapter

Chapter 15

(Elizabeth's pov)

I am sound asleep when my father grabs my arm and yanks me out of bed, I scream and hit the floor in shock. I roll over and see him standing over me then he starts yelling.

"Wake up maggot! get off the ,floor and stand straight!"

I lay there taken by surprise and not moving one muscle. His hand comes down and yanks my arm and throws me to my dresser.

"Get dressed! I refilled you dresser with appropriate clothes maggot! get dressed now!"

I open my dresser drawer to find nothing but military stature clothes. I huff and grab some.

"Faster! now!" he yells in my ear.

I quickly grab clothes and try to go to the bathroom.

"No! right here!"

I huff and turn around and strip and get clothed with the military clothes he has provided. After I am done he pushes me to my door. And turns my body around facing my entire room.

"Maggot! I want your room cleaned! Spotless! White glove tested! I will be back in two hours! You have a break for lunch it's ten minutes! I will know if your not done in ten minutes! Understood!?" He yells right in my ear and I don't flinch just stand straight

"Yes sir!"

I sigh as he walks out slamming my door. I lean against the door and slid down it in tears. Then I hear a knock at the door, I open my door and creep down stares. I can hear the door being opened, I'm walking down the stairs as I look at the door and see my mom standing there. She is talking to someone but I can not make them out until she opens the door. Sevastian! What is he doing hear!

My mother opens the door and let's him in and I sneak back into my room, and lock the door. Then I hear the two pairs of foot steps Coming up the stairs. Great, mom just please stop. Was all that is running through my head.

Then the knock at my door, I huff and unlock it and open it. I see my mothers bruised face, and the tears stains on her cheeks and shirt.

"This boy came to talk to you...."

I look at Sevastian's shocked face as he looks me from head to toe.

"Thanks mom....... Please d-"

"I won't honey, remember two hours........"

"Yes ma'am...." My mom walks away closing my door.

"What are you doing here!?" I yell with a angry face with a hint and mixture of worried concern."my father will murder you!"

"Well I was worried... I wanted to see if u were ok."

"My father will kill you! I am fine please go, I care for your well being!"

"Alright... Sorry I was just worried..." He looks at me with sad eyes and starts walking towards the door. "I'll see you at school then I hope."

"Wait, I do have two hours, we can talk for a few but I have to clean while we talk...... If that's okay."

"Yah that's fine. I'll help."

"You sure? It's a White glove inspection?"

"Oh well I'm a good cleaner. Do it all the time at my house when the family's away."

"Why?" I ask taking a wash cloth and cleaning.

"They are just always busy with work. I don't have much time to see them. That's why I snowboard."

"Oh, well you can't do that much with the military around......"

"Yah I noticed....". He says starting on washing the windows.

I smile watching him clean. He does clean pretty well, I sigh and clean.

A hour passes then I hear a door slam downstairs. He can't be home early. But even so.

"Sevastian hide!...." I whisper yell.

He crouches behind a thick curtain near the window and he looks pretty well hidden.

"Get him out of the living room so I can sneak out the window."

"Oh no I think he may come up here"

"Umm if I can jump from a mountain into a lake I think a two story window will not be a problem...."

"I don't want you hu-" my dad bangs and swings the door open and his face is blood red. Oh no.

".........uh..."

"Ya know what I take that back..... Go!" I hold my dad back as much as I can until he grabs my collar of the jacket and throws me aside. I hit the floor and the corner of my dresser, I wince and curl into a ball. I look at my dad his face full of anger and half his body out the window then a shot is fired and I hear a scream.

I force myself up and push my dad away from the window, I look at see Sevastian limping away. God damn it, he got hit in the leg, but I guess that's good considering he wasn't shot in the head.

My dad yanks my shoulder and his face is redder than the flames of hell. He hits me across the face and then throws me on the floor. He picks me up and I stand in defense as his hand comes to my face again. This time my reactions kick in and I grab his hand, his other one comes at me and I grab it and then next I know he flips me and his foot slams my chest to the floor. I feel my insides hurt.

"Dad! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please!" I yell, tears in my, and my body aching.

His foot is off my chest and I try to catch my breath. He walks out without another word and slams my door. I lay there on my floor breathing hard. Soon to only crawl on my bed and lay on my back, I can't lay on my stomach like I always do because my chest hurts way to much. Even breathing hurts. I wonder if I may have broken some ribs, actually no my father has probably broken some ribs.

I lay there in silence for hours at a time. Soon to only slowly fall asleep.
