Point of view

Chapter 2

Ashton's POV

The sound of my alarm was annoying as always. Always going off at the wrong time. I groaned as I tried getting up but someone had their arms wrapped around me, trapping into their embrace.

I stare at the 5 year old angel that is sound asleep. My little sister Destiny means the world to me. She can be a little....outspoken sometimes...but nonetheless, I still love her. I mean who wouldn't.

She has ocean blue eyes with clean white skin and just this long flowing head of blone hair that stops at the middle of her back. Growing up I used to call her rapunzel and she hated it.

She started to stir in her sleep and I couldn't help but smile. And nowadays I rarely smile. Things haven't been going our way and I moved her to have a better life for Destiny. But mostly to try and rid myself of my dark past.

I never want to experience the fear and weakness I felt and to not have to be on the run, constantly looking over my shoulders.

My thoughts were disturbed when I heard a certain someone yawned.

"Good morning sleepy head." I said ruffling her bed hair.

"Heyyy...stop it zombie breath."she swatted my hand away giggling.

Ouch...BURN!!!!!

I can't believe I just got burned by a 5 year old. Ohhh its so on....

"At least I don't have my two front teeth missing." Her mouth hung open and I just smirked in response.

Ash-1
Devil child-1

By now we spent 10 whole mins going back and forth til we just started laughing and holding our stomachs. I missed hearing her laugh her heart it. It's like music to my ears.

She looked at me then my alarm clock and her eyebrows scrunched together. Something she did whenever she was thinking hard.

"Hey what's wrong D?"

"I'm just wondering why the clock thingy has a 8 in the front and then 3 zeros. Isn't it supposed to be 8,9 then 10?"

She must have seen the confusion written over my face because she face palmed herself then turned my head towards the alarm clock.

"Ohhh...thats an alarm clock. We use it to wake up at a certain time. It reads 8 o'clock that's why there are 3 ze-

Wait...what the fuck

I looked at the alarm clock again and my eyes widened.

"Fuck...your gonna be late for school." I just so fast, you would think I was a frog.

Destiny gasped and covered her mouth. "Ashy...you used a swear word. You know how mommy feels about you using those words young man." She pushed out her bottom lip and place her hands on her hips.

I stopped in my tracks and stared at Destiny. It breaks my heart hearing her talk about mom. She is so young but still don't know much. It's best to let it stay that way.

"Well Mom isn't here so, I can do this." I rushed towards her and threw her over my shoulders. She squealed and tried hitting my back but it all felt like getting hit with balloons.

"Ashy you put me down this instant or else your grounded." She continued to "hit" me and tried squirming her way out.

"No can do "mom", we have 30 mins to take a shower, get ready, eat breakfast and get you to school. Are you up for the race against time?" I used my best spaceman commander voice.

It was her favorite cartoon.

"Aye aye commander meathead." She had the goofiest grin ever.

"Then lets get ready to blaaaaast offfff." I took off running into the bathroom so we could take a shower.

After 20 mins of playful showering(and a little waterfight), finding clothes to wear, doing her hair(two ponytails perfectly done I may add), and an eggs and pancake breakfast, we were ready to go.

We washed up the dishes and then made sure to lock up before heading to the car. While she rushed to the car and sat in shotgun. I turned and look at the house.

We weren't rich but we weren't poor either. Before I came here, I made sure to do some house shopping so that I could find one that suited our needs and benefits. Ok that's s load of bullshit. Destiny was the one who chose the house. I had to bring her along with me.

You should have seen the the real estate agent's face when she saw that a 5 year old was calling the shots. Nonetheless, we(destiny) decided to go with a house that had a front and a backyard with a a driveway and playset at the back. The house itself was pretty cute to say the least. It was made up of bricks that were painted grey and the roof black. There were 3 bedrooms with each of them having 2 pairs of windows, a medium size bath big enough for 5 people, a kitchen that leads into the living room, a 48" inch TV with bass stereos(thanks to yours truly), three cotton plushed couches and a basement. The basement is off limits. Nobody but me goes down there but me and I haven't been down there in 2 years. I buried my whole past down there and I don't intend to rekindle unwanted memories.

"Ashy we're gonna be late. Bring that butt in here and drive." So bossy.

I got in the car and we drove out the driveway. I checked the time and we have 5 mins before school starts. Thank God Destiny's school is close. I wanted to her school to be near mine in case of any emergencies I could just rush over there.

We started driving and I notice she keeps smiling and bobbing her head. It's been a while since I seen her this happy.

"You that happy to be going to school kiddo?" It's odd because she never really talks about school, even when I ask her how her day was.

"No meathead. I'm just happy that I get to see mommy and daddy soon."

"WHAT???!!!!" I whipped my head so fast to look at her, I could have sworn my spine cracked.

What the fuck is she talking about.

"Destiny...what are you talking about?" It's harder to concentrate on driving now.

"Yeah. Some strange man said that I would be able to see mommy and daddy soon. I'm so excited that I can't keep still."

Ohhh no

Fuck no

"Destiny....when and where did you meet that strange guy?" My heart was beating so hard, you could practically hear it.

"I don't remember but don't worry about it. You worry too mu-

"Destiny I'm not fucking around. I need you to tell me RIGHT NOW."

"Ashton...your scaring me." I could see the tears forming in her eyes. She always hated when I shouted at her but I really need her to remember.

"I'm sorry but please Destiny. I need you to remember." If it's who I think it is, we are in so much fucking trouble.

"Ummm...it w-was...umm-

"Destiny!"

"Umm..it w-was l-last we-week after s-school when I -w-was waiting for you." They even know her school?

"Destiny why are you just fucking telling me this now?" I was furious, nervous, anxious but most of all scared.

"I'm so-sorry Ash, I didn't know." I looked over to her and she was crying and now I felt bad.

"Look...how about we buy some ice-

"ASHTON LOOK OUT!!!"

I pressed the brakes so hard that the car screeched and came to a stop right in front of a screaming girl.

Ohhh fuck I'm screwed.
