Fire And Smoke

Chapter 1- Wall's Don't Laugh

Hi guys ,

So this is sorta my first story ever I've written a few before but I deleted them cause they were so damn cringe. This is probably so short so I might add onto it while it's up since no one will read it beside my friend, but if you guys are reading this I hope you enjoy the first chapter of Fire and Smoke

WARNING: EXPLICIT ABUSE SCENES WILL BE IN THIS CHAPTER, TRIGGER WARNING : ABUSE

---------------

"I'm so sorry Ethne, I had never meant for it to come to this" I felt my father's tears fall onto my cheeks as I drifted in and out of consciousness. His words echoed in my head 'I never meant for it to come to this'. Another lie I thought, he said he would protect me from them but he failed not only me but Mother. I felt my eyes gently shut but just as I felt the darkness succumb me I heard father whisper.

" What is your last wish from me Ethne, pl-please. Anything you ask I will do" His sobs echoed throughout the house that I used to call home, I felt a warm tear trickle down my skin as I grabbed onto his shirt.

"Keep me as far away from you and your scum bag life" I felt my eyes shut for the final time and my body go limp.

I shook my head trying to erase the last memory of my father from my head, he was no longer a father to me but a man that sold me to abuse and told me it was because he loved me. He was the devil in my eyes, the man that held me when I was a young child after I would graze my knee was long gone and was now replaced with a Mafia man and not even a Mafia man could save or love his family...

I felt the car come to a halt and I saw Kali turn to look at me from the driver's seat. Her eyes were filled with sympathy as she reached out to put a hand on my knee but I flinched away. Kali worked at a witness protection program. I had no clue what the hell the name of the program was, its motto was to help the inner broken child in young adults and have them find a new home or something along the bullshit lines of marketing lies and although I was 17 and no were near a young adult they still accepted me. I was known as the girl in the shadows by Kali's work colleagues because I would never talk to anyone except when I had too for lawful reasons.

"You ready Ethne?" her voice was laced with worry and comfort, all I did was look at her shrug my shoulders and turn my eyes into daggers.

"I'll take that as an 'I don't care but I still hate you no matter how nice you are look and answer'"

What a bitch, I opened the car door waiting for Kali to move her slow ass over here to open it. She finally made it over and opened the boot for me, I grabbed my suitcases and I trudged up my new house's stairs. In all fairness, the house was amazing it had a warm feeling and too many balconies to count, I went to knock on the door but my hand froze something was stopping me and I knew what. I glanced behind me at Kali and looked her in the eyes.

"I'm so sorry for acting like an A class bitch Kali" and I honestly was. I was so stuck in the past I brought my anger and hurt onto the others around me.

" Don't be Ethna, you are a strong girl and I admire you for it. Yes. you might be a bitch but you are one hell of a god one" I felt a tear slip down my cheek but quickly wiped it away, walking up to Kali I gave her a tight hug before whispering a quick thank you. I watched her as she walked down the stairs and I turned back to the doors that were looming over my short 5' figure. I quickly knocked on the door then stepped back holding onto my suitcase handles as if I were going to disappear if I let go of them. Hearing the doors creak open I took a deep breath and looked the women standing on the threshold of the door in the eyes, She had green eyes and was dressed in a pencil skirt and a button-down top. She had her hair flowing down her shoulders and her face was soft and caring. Before I could speak I felt her crash onto me and give me a welcoming hug.
