Karma

Chapter 11

"Em, I'm not–"

"Oh shush! I can see the eye bags, and I saw you yawning a bunch of times during the auditorium! Now sleep!" Emilia ordered as she pulled me into her room.

Surprisingly her room wasn't pink or blue, instead it was white just like the rest of the house. A polished birch wooden floor with a large black and white rug in the middle. The only color in the room is the light blue bed in the middle. A vanity in one corner and a desk in another.

"I'm surprised your room isn't–" I yawned before I was able to finish my sentence, proving Emilia right.

"That's it Mel! Bed now, I don't care if you didn't go back home and pack clothes to change into, just go to bed and sleep! I'll be leaving to buy you some new clothes, ask my brother if you need anything. Bye!" Emilia said as she left me.

"Bye mom!" I chuckled to myself before flopping onto the bed. My god, the bed is so soft! I rubbed my face into the covers before slipping to sleep.

I cried out in pain as John pushed the glass shards deeper into my skin. I felt the tears threaten to break loose, as I stifled another cry. I can't, no I won't cry in front of him.

I glared at John, staring him in his cold blue eyes. I felt a burning sensation of the wounds that littered my body. All John did was laugh. "How pathetic! A waste of space like you! I'm not surprised that your bullied. Next time I hear a single complaint from the teacher just to waste my time with you, it won't just be glass digging into your skin." He sneered as he pulled my hair and slammed me into the ground.

I was slipping in and out of consciousness, the blood pooling around me. "I hope you die you little piece of shit." That was the last thing I heard before passing out.

I woke up in my bad, wrapped in bandages. I looked at my hands as the tears pooled down my face. I sobbed into my hands, letting out all the pent up pain and anger. I felt a reassuring arm wrap around me into a tight hug. I sobbed into Shadows shoulder, crying,"Why?! W-What did I d-do to d-deserve this?!"

Shadow cooed rubbing my shoulder. "Mel, it hurts me to see you like this, please consider my deal. I don't want you to suffer anymore." He said in a hush tone. His cheery voice filled with sadness and hurt.

I stared at the newly renovated floor, crying my eyes out while debating. I finally said it. The magic words that would lift all my suffering, at a price I didn't know. "M-make then p-pay, S-Sha. I w-want t-them to s-suffer much w-worse then I h-have." I sniffed in a hush tone.

I woke up crying. I covered my mouth before crying out. David rushes into the room before asking,"What's wrong?! Are you hurt?!" Once he saw that I was crying, he ran over and wrapped me in a hug.

"It's all my fault! It's my fault she's dead! Oh my god, they are all going to die!" I cried.

"Shh, shh. It going to be all right. Don't cry." David said, rocking my back and forward as I clutched on his sleeves.

For once, I felt safe, not even Shadow could provide this for me.
