SAVIOR

Chapter One

      "Help", I barley manage to get out. "Stop" My voice is barley above a whisper. He hits me over the head with a Bourbon bottle. The glass shatters falling on the floor my limp body falling from its sitting position on the floor. My face meets the floor as a piece of shattered glass slices my hand open. "Azer, Taito." I moan out. "Useless whore." My father says walking away. Azer had a concert with Taito today. We have a tiny family band along with my friend Misaki. But my father said I had to stay home and clean the house. My brother has to take my spot in the band now. He's the guitarist, and singer if he fills in for me. I wish they we're here. The look on their faces when he said I had to clean the house was awful. They practically begged him to let me come with them. And he did something he NEVER does to them. He slapped them. He usually never abuses them. Only me. He says I was the cause of my mother's death. I was crossing the road when I was ten, my dad screamed for me to get out of the way and was about to run into the road to grab me, but my mother pushed him out of the way and ran to me. She pushed me out of the way and went to run, but she was to late. The car hit her. The ambulance took her to the hospital, where the last words she said to me we're "Take care of the family for me Rikku." Then the machine she was plugged up to went flat. I screamed for her and everything went in slow motion. They pulled me away, my sister was crying and my brother looked broken. My father, he looked angry, upset, and sad. That's when I started being abused. "Hey, we're home." I can barley make out Taito's voice. "RIKKU!" Was the last thing I heard Taito's scream before everything went black.

      I wake up in my bed with Taito holding my head in his hands. I look over to see Azer cleaning my cuts on my arms and hands. Taito cleans the cuts on my face as he smiles sadly at me. "We shouldn't have left you." He says, his sad smile falling. "It's okay, " I choke out, "I'm fine." "No, you're not Rikku." Azer glares at me. "He abused you again. What was it about this time?" "It was about how I caused mother's death." I break into tears at that point. "You didn't cause it." Taito says sitting me up. "You couldn't help that a car was coming." I go to stand up, but fall instantly. Taito holds me up while Azer pulls my comforter down. Taito puts me in bed and covers me up while Azer places a cold rag on my head. Taito pulls a chair up to the side of my bed and sits there. "Don't worry Rikku, " I start to drift off to sleep, "it'll all be over soon."
