Bloody Origins

Part 1

This takes place when Alastor is younger around 10 or 11 maybe? Just so you can understand!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel myself shiver as the yelling of my bickering parents gets louder. Covering my head with my pillow I try to drown out the sounds and go to my happy place like my mother told me to.  The yelling seems to reach it's peak for I can hear my mothers quiet sobs. 

Tears begin running down my cheeks as I begin singing to myself quietly to make sure I didn't alert my father of me listening in on them. The noises of them fighting begin dying down making me feel much calmer as I let my form relax a bit.

The slam of my door forces me to sit up showing none other than my father my tear stained face and puffy red eyes. 

"Get out here now" he grumbles to me before stomping down the hallway.

I force myself to get up knowing the punishment would only be worse if I didn't come soon enough. Trudging down the hallway I prepare myself for my fathers fury.

I stand in the doorway making sure my gaze was directed to the floor as to not upset my father. The feeling of my fathers hard gaze burning holes in my head made me wince. I knew he was angry with me the moment I looked up into his enraged face. In his hand he holds a leather belt gripping it tightly. I knew what it was for and truly I was fearing how he would use it.

In horror I watch as my father points to the floor motioning for me to sit down. My mother watches sadly as I do as he commands slowly sitting down on my knees and praying it would be over soon.

I watched as he lifts the belt above his head only to bring it down onto my back making a sharp pain go up my spine. I hold back a scream tears once again rolling down my face and dripping onto the floor.

"Stop crying you weak little shit" I hear my father yell at me bringing the belt down once again.

My mother winces at my pained expression knowing these would be scars I would keep forever both inside and out. With one last whip I collapse onto the floor my back stinging as my father stands over me with a smile.

"Now you know what happens when you disobey" I hear him growl at me before grabbing my hair to lift my face.

We are so close that I can feel his warm breath on my face. He slams my head on the ground making me wince at the hard floor connecting with my skull. I feel a drip of my warm blood slip out of my mouth as I weakly sit up.

A loud slam of the front door indicates my father had left to get a drink. I sigh letting myself collapse onto the floor tears pouring out of my eyes due to the pain on my back. 

"My god Alastor!" I hear my mother nervously yell while crawling over and cradling me head in her arms.

"Smile dear you know your never fully dressed without one!" She says letting a small one graze her face.

She rubs a few stray strands of my brown hair out of my face as I close my eyes.

"Please dear give me a smile" I hear her whisper in my ear.

With the little energy I had I mustered a small smile just to make her feel better.

"There's my boy" She says pulling me into a hug.

Lovingly I wrap my arms around her trying to reassure her. I knew father would be back and this time I promised he wouldn't hurt her as long as I'm breathing.

Never will he take this from me. 

Never
