The Queen Of Shadows (Persona 5 Fanfic)

Chapter 2

I made it to my fathers office and knocked. "Come in" he said. I walked in and closed the door. He got up from his desk and walked over to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and made me look him in the eyes. "Wow what an ugly sight. Make sure to hide these bruises with make up from now on you dumb bitch" he said kneeing me in the stomach. I closed my eyes as he threw me to the ground. He kicked my stomach as I held back my tears. "God your so much like your mother. Its disgusting. When I found her she had given birth to your brother. Turns out his father had raped her and bam got her pregnant. But no one even knows who the man is. Then she came to my feet desperately when I had gotten her pregnant. God worthless women. I had to marry the bitch just because of you" he said. He grabbed my hair roughly. "She was always fun to play with. Your old enough no I could play with you but I'll wait another year. Give you time to make yourself worth something. Otherwise your just gonna become my toy" he said darkly. He let go of my hair and walked to his desk. "Go back to the penthouse you trash" he said sitting down.

I weakly got to my feet and picked my bag up. I walked out the room and weakly and shakidly walked to the penthouse we lived in. Once there I made it to my room. I grabbed pajamas. walking to the bathroom and stripping my clothes. I let cold water run down my body as tears flowed from my dull blue eyes. I closed my eyes and hugged myself. "Zetsu... I can't keep going" I said. "But what if you wake up and I'm dead?" I asked. "Please wake up before I'm dead" I said crying as I slid down the wall of the shower. I curled in a ball and let my cries out. Yet they were unheard again.

I turned off the shower and looked in the mirror. Everywhere on my body litered in bruises. I put my clothes on and walked to my bed. I curled into a ball as I laided down. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

I woke up to my alarm. I turned it off and got out my makeup and uniform. I stripped and put the uniform on. I put makeup on to his my face. Stuffing my uniform with some clothes to maje myself look more healthy. I walked out my bathroom and put my hair into a pony tail. I grabbed my school bag and left.

I got to school and sat in my seat. The bullies walking over. "Hey loser" the main girl said again. She went to reach for my hair but Akira got in the way. "Here's your book Catherine" he said with a gentle smile. I took the book and the girls huffed. "Actually. Catherine why don't you and me have lunch together" he said. Realization hit me. He was trying to help me. He knew the girls wouldn't try and hurt me if he was around. After all he was rumored as a criminal. "Yeah I'd like to" I said. He nodded. "Good see you" he said sitting down. The girls already walking away annoyed. I looked at him and mouthed a thank you. He nodded as class was about to start.

When lunch came I walked to Akira. "Why did you help me?" I asked. "Do I need a reason to help?" He asked. "Well no ones ever helped me unless they want money" I said. "I'm already an outcast and I have a feeling you are one too because of having money" he replied. "Your pretty smart" I said smiling. "But thank you. No ones ever really stuck up for me or even tried to be nice to me in a very long time" I said. Akira smiled. "Lets be friends" he said. I smiled and held out my hand. "Yeah lets be friends" I said. He shook my hand as we made it to a good spot to sit for lunch.

We sat there and I sighed. "So what's this rumor about?" I asked. "Well. I was falsely convicted for assult when I was trying to save a women from being assaulted by a drunk man" he explained. "T-Thats terrible" I stuttered feeling bad. I gave him a hug with tears. I felt so bad for him. "I'm so sorry you have a criminal record for no reason" I said. "You believe me?" He asked shocked. "Yes I do. Because theirs many people who arent believed in when things like that happen. Besides I feel like I can trust you" I said. He smiled and ate his lunch. He looked at me and I looked back. "You don't have a lunch?" He asked. "No I was to late and couldn't buy one in time" I said. He split his in half and gave me half. "Here" he said. I looked at him and blushed. "No its okay! I don't need it!" I said. "Come on take it" he said. "T-Thank you" I stuttered smiling.

It was nice having a Friend. It was nice having someone being so nice to me. It was nice having someone to talk to. It was nice not being beat up. When lunch ended I stood up and smiled to him. "Thanks again Akira. I can't wait to get to know you more" I said. He gave a small smile and nod.

After school ended I walked on. Feeling happy for once. I went to the hospital with a smile on my face. I opened the door to my brothers room and put my hand against his. "Brother. I... I have a friend" I said with tears. "I acctually have a friend. He didnt seem like he was lying either. He seemed genuine" I said. I smiled brightly through my tears. "When you wake up I think your gonna be happy" I said gripping his hand.
