Althea POV

I came home drenched, cold and muddy. I didn't like it one bit. 

My rage had lessened but I still felt like ripping Noah's head off. Ugh he irritated me so much. I only hoped that when I got home, dad wouldn't be there. I wanted to avoid him as much as possible since every little thing would tick him off and I knew he would get mad at my not - so - pretty appearance. 

I arrived at my house and saw that dad's car wasn't in the driveway and sighed in relief. 

I couldn't handle another beating tonight, my cuts and bruises from a couple days hadn't healed yet and it would hurt a lot if he laid another beating on them.

I winced at the thought. 

I opened the front door and walked inside and went up stairs. I threw my shit down on my bed and moved to go to the bathroom to take a warm shower. 

I stripped out of my clothes and stepped inside the shower and turned on the nob. I sighed in pleasure and satisfaction as the hot water poured down on me and instantly relaxed my muscles. 

After about 10 minutes, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom. I went into my closet and dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank top. I then walked downstairs and there he was. 

Standing in the kitchen was my father. With an angry and disgusted expression on his face. 

I gulped and went to walk back up stairs, when he wrapped his hand around my arm and pulled me back. 

❝Where the fuck do you think you're going?❞ He said and turned me around so I was facing him. He leered down at me and pushed me roughly against the counter and grabbed a knife. I tried moving away but the next thing I felt was a stinging on my cheek. He slapped me. 

❝You're not going anywhere, slut.❞ He said as he smiled cruelly and started bringing the hot knife towards me. 

He touched the knife to my arm and my skin started hissing and smoke started rising.

I screamed as tears escaped from my eyes.

My punishment had begun.
