A Girl Named ... Mina Snape

Prologue

Girls POV 

“What did I tell you, you stupid bitch!” Father screamed at me yet again. “I said make me dinner and you give me this disgusting shit!” pulling back his arm to hit me more. I cringed into the wall knowing that I was in for a long night. I silently ran through my list as the hits kept raining down. Did I have enough anti-septic? Will I need to go steal some bandages from the store again? I’ll most definitely need to get more chemical ice packs as I only had two or three left. I was getting pretty good at blocking out the pain of the harsh blows and kicks by running through all the things I need to do but tonight was a whole different story. Today was the ten-year anniversary of the day mother left father and I. “Listen to me you ugly burden, I should never have agreed to adopt you. You are the worst thing to ever happen to this house. In fact I think it is time for you to leave.” He said getting quieter and quieter as he went on. Suddenly he stood up and reached behind himself for the large butchers knife I had left on the counter.

“No Papa, please no.” I begged tears raining down my cheeks. My lists weren’t going to save me this time. Father kept coming towards me with a scary empty look in his eyes and bent down beside me.

“Hush brat. It will all be over soon.” He said almost happily. I felt the cool whisper of the blade against my cheek, which opened up a large, stinging gash in my face. He did this a few more times as I struggled and screamed in vein knowing that there was nobody close enough to this house to hear me.

“Please! I’ll be good. I promise. Please Papa.” I wailed.

“Don’t call me Papa. I am not your father you ungrateful worm.” He screamed pulling his hand without the knife back and slapping me one last time, nocking me onto my side, before aiming the knife at my chest and plunging it down. The last thing I remember is a bright flash of green light coming out of my hands and thinking; this is why he wont love me, because I’m a freak.
