Vamparah

2- Uh-Oh

16 years later....

This is now taking place in Nevaeh. From now on being in Vamparah's point of view.

*****

I began another dreaded day of being in this hell hole they call  Nevaeh. Standing infront of my mirror I began looking at my reflection while I brushed through the tangles of my long black hair. As I finished brushing I let it lay across my shoulders. I contemplated if I even wanted to go to goddess school again today. I made up in my mind that I would beg my father for me not to go to school. I walked across the room then slinging my backpack across my shoulder and hurried down our grand staircase towards the kitchen. As I walked into the kitchen I found a spot at the island and plopped into the bar stoll.  I looked to the left of me to see my older brother Kaine biting into an apple. I swiveled in my seat til I heard footsteps nearby of leather shoes. My father Katasji had began walking down the stairs into the kitchen to join us and send us off to school. 

I watched my father as he walked in head high and shoulder's straight greeting us with a "Good Morning." I greeted him back. With us engaging in small talk until I mustered the courage to finally ask.

"Father, I was wondering if it would be okay if I skipped school today?" I softly say.

As I uttered the last word off my lips Kaine chimed in exclaiming that if I didn't go to school today he shouldn't have to either. I groaned at his annoying tantrum. My father was not pleased and scolded us both.

"You both are going to school today and that is final!" he bellowed.

I was startled at first but I retorted back.

"Father, I am a powerful goddess already! I am the princess! Why sh-"

*SMACK*

Before I could even finish my sentence my father backhanded me right on my left cheek. I whinced in pain rubbing on my cheek as I began to taste a familiar metallic taste in my mouth. Blood. 

With that he brushed his self off and began to scold me even more. Kaine quietly backed out of the room going to school I assume as he didn't want to face the same punishment as me. My father then began to cross his arms and stare at me intently. His strong gaze made my cheek  burn and sting even harder.  

He then grunted out "Stop this foolishness Vamparah and go to school."

I left the house without a word.

-------------------------------

I trudged myself all the way to goddess school as I sulked over having to go as I hated being here with a passion. I don't hate school in itself as I excel at everything here to my studies, talent, as well as powers. But I do dislike the people I go to school with. As I hear the whispers and rumours they pass around about me being a love child of a demon. My father of this world Neveah is Katasji he is a god. And my mother Mananaya is of Lleh and is a demon. To be of both is forbidden but at one point my parents were in love my mother tells me. But she also told me that father banished her to the pits of Lleh a short time after I was born and I still do not know the reason why. As I am seating in class lost in my thoughts I feel a piece of paper hit my head. This is only the beginning of a crappy day.

I then sighed heavily wondering if I should endure the teasing of the day. I decided that today I wouldn't endure it. As I had already been backhanded by my father earlier how else could it get worse. I jumped up from from my desk pushing my chair back with it, it made a screeching noise. I then bolted out of the classroom down the hall to Kaine's class slaming the door open.

"KAINE!" I screamed as I slammed the door open.

They were in the middle of taking their god exam to test their power of producing light from their hands. The teacher of the class shot me a mean glance as to tell me to go away but I didn't I stayed at the door waiting for Kaine to answer me. Kaine gradually stood up from his desk and walks towards me shutting the door behind me.

He kept his head hung low as he stood against the wall clenching his fist. I began to speak a nd tell him about the kids in my class but something didn't feel right. There was a cool breeze in the air that blow across my neck. I began to back away but Kaine already had grabbed my arm. 

Had I embarrassed him that bad this time? Was he really this angry with me?

I began to choke out a scream but the hand he had grabbed my arm with then went for my throat.

Was he trying to strangle me?

I ducked from him and ran to the other end of the hallway. He hissed at me to go away and I did just that. Is this the immense power that flows through me and him both? Or is this a seething fit of rage he has built up and is finally acting upon due to my father's actions this morning? Either way I was scared to death and I did not want to find out or even be in his sight for the rest of the school day. 

It was bad enough being backhanded by my father this morning, but now my brother was trying to strangle me as I was so braved to tell him of my troubles. I had felt defeated.

------------------------------

After that incident I decided that it was best for me to not even be in the same vicinity as Kaine as I was scared of what he'd do the next time he saw me. It was best for me to go home as my father had already went to work. But I had forgotten about my father's wife; Kaine's mother.

I entered our household slamming my backpack down as it was heavy from carrying so many books and also I slammed it due to anger. I sighed out in frustration for a minute til I perked my head up to the sound of footsteps.

"Shit." I muttered under my breath.

She turned the corner seeing me standing in the doorway and she began to look me up and down.

"Didn't your father tell you to go to school today little girl?" she said apathetically.

I retorted back "Yes he did. But shouldn't you be doing something productive instead of worrying about me?"

Her eyes raised, nose flared, and eyebrows had furrowed as she frowned and screamed in frustration stomping her foot on the ground. I laughed as she throw a tantrum and went up to my room and hid waiting for my father to return home. I was sure that she called him out of spite to tell him I disobeyed him. And of course he would not listen to my side of the story only her's and Kaine's.

I sat in my room and thought of ways to justify myself for my actions today and after what seemed like eternity I heard the heavy footsteps from his stomping on the stairs. I took a deepbreath and sighed heavily as I knew the punishment coming wasn't going to be a slap on the wrist this time. I heard a soft knock on the door and was suprised from it. I was expecting him to bust the door down. But due to this my guard was even up more than it was before. I heaved out another deep breath and stood up to answer the door. I gently turned the knob and opened the door. I shouldn't have been suprised when he came barging in yelling at me.

"Vamparah is it not enough for me to backhand you to understand the consequences of your actions!" He barked out at me.

I timidly looked at the floor as tears welled up in my eyes. Twidling with my fingers in an effort to not to look up. He still stood over me demanding an answer as we stood in silence after his first sentence.

I was scared at first to even attempt to say something. But I decided to fight against my father as he had always mistreated me and acted as if I was a burden for him.

"But Fath-!" I attempted to scream out so that he could understand it from my point of view. But instead he cut me off.

"No not this time Vamp! No if, and's, or, but's for that matter! I'm sick of your excuses!"

"As a matter of fact I banish you to the pit's of Lleh!"
