The Daughter In Isolation

Chapter Five: School brings Emotions?

I feel like I'll do great at school, just act normal and be quiet. I'm good at that, but I hope I'm good at everything else.

I awoke to my maid Lucy and both of my sisters standing over my bed while smiling like idiots while I fixed my hair from being all over my head. " Can you three please stop smiling like that? It's giving me an unsettling feeling. "  I see their facial expressions change while I  get up to take a shower and find something to wear while singing along to the music. I don't really listen to music, but  I do like some genres so I feel somewhat normal since this will be my first day at school and I will be exposed to so many new things at one time. " Scarlet! Are you done yet?" I hear my sister yell out to me while I dry my hair and try to find something to wear, I'd never thought there would be a school without a dress code or a uniform. " I'm almost ready okay, don't rush me so much. " I finish fixing my hair and put my clothes on. I thought this would be the most appropriate thing to wear so my dad doesn't have a fit with me showing too much skin.

" Aww, aren't you cute I can remember how are were at six years old, Wearing ruffled dresses with matching socks and flats that had flowers on them? " I look at my maid Lucy with a stone-faced look. " I'm sixteen! That was ten years ago, we're focusing on the future now and the future is bright! Right Serenity?" She nodded as I laughed and Lucy slowly agreed as we headed downstairs. I rubbed both of my brother's heads while looking for my other sister. " Where's Ophelia? " I see my father and siblings point back upstairs to her room while I sigh and go to get her. I slowly knock on her door and walk in to see her walls covered in paintings and different art supplies on her floor. I finally got to her and touched her shoulder softly. " Opal, wake up for school." She moves a bit and grabs my hand while rubbing her eye. " Thank you for waking me up, one else will because they think I will hurt them in some form or fashion." I smile softly at her while touching her head. " No problem, but you should really go to sleep more instead of staying up to paint and design, you really need sleep and it's kinda showing." She nods and gets dressed while I leave her room. "I'll try, but only for you." I nod and go back downstairs to see everyone's faces in pure shock.  " She's not gonna hurt anyone, she just needs sleep because to stays up to paint and draw. All I did was shake her and she thanked me for waking up because you five wouldn't have. " They all look at me like I had just taken their happiness and thrown it all away. " Did I say something wrong?" I was confused because all I did was tell them about Ophelia and for them to not be scared to wake her up. " You sound just like me, never thought I would have such a little prodigy. " I looked to see my mother behind me with a smirk on her face as everyone looked away from her. " I-I'm nothing like you... I never want to be like you. You're a monster. " She walks over to me and grabs my arm. " If I'm a monster, then what are all your siblings, your father, your grandparents, and you? We're all demons here Bayonetta, so pick your words wisely." I slap her hand away from me and look at her with pure anger. " Don't you dare compare yourself to being an actual demon to the family that actually loves me, you are nothing to me so, you can just go die and get out of my life! " I walk away and go sit in another room while waiting for everyone else to be ready to go. " I can't fucking believe she would say that to me! I can't wait to get out of here! "  My dad comes to check on me while I bite my finger and look. " What? you've come to make me apologize to that woman?" He nods no and sits next to me. " I think what you said was straight from the heart and I think I should tell you why your mother is like this. I turned her into a demon to be with her and she never liked that so, she decided to be cold and heartless. Even when you and Endymion were born, we didn't stop and since you look so much to me and her, she hates you because you're my favorite. " I think and look at him. If she hates me so much for being loved why didn't she just leave me with you or my grandparents? At least you guys love me more than her,  she has never shown me, love, since I was a baby and I think her heart is cold because she hasn't got what she wants and that's her fault." I get up and walk away to sit in the car while thinking. I don't care about her being mad at my father, but take it out on everyone else. It's very stupid and she should just get over it. I hear everyone get in the car with my dad and I put my earbuds in to ignore all of them as we get to school.
