Powers Beneath The Skin (Book 1 of Many) *COMPLETED*

The Past and Present

The past......

I lay on the ground in my bedroom shivering as the A.C is turned up all the way. My punishment for not cleaning my parents rat filled bed room and their maggot filled kitchen. It's disgusting because they are pigs! 🐖 They never clean up and they make me do all the work until my hands are red raw and I am exhausted they blame me for never getting anything spotless when it is their fault because every second I clean up the create more mess until I almost collapse from lack of energy, food, water, sleep anything!

It obviously worked because I started to feel myself drift into slumber as Halle placed a damp flannel on my fore head. I muttered a few words then I let exhaustion over come me.
