He's here again. He's here to torture me and take me to that void of despair which I can't take much longer. Any second now and my mind's going to explode. I need to get away from this house, from this closet. I need... "Jacob? Where are you my boy?" The bittersweet voice of my drunken father echoes throughout the house. “Happy Birthday! How old are you now? Ten? Well, well, well I have a present for you! Come out so you can get it” Then I hear the sound of glass hit the floor. Jacob has been in the presence of a nightmare. Every Day it haunts him. One day, he was whisked away to a land called Altronia.

-"Why are you crying?" What, I didn't know I was crying. -"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up. -"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees. -"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them up close. -"Oh don't act as if you care." I look down and see he has wet hair, which is reasonable since he came out of the bathroom. *Swoop* He scoops me up, my injured knees on his left and my head rests on his right shoulder. I hitch as he picks me up. -"What do you think you're doing? Put me down this instant!" I try to wiggle out of his arms, but it's useless, he holds me tighter to his chest. He gently places me on the bed, and I sit on the edge, I instantly throw my hand to his face intending to slap him. As if it were muscle memory he blocks my hand and gently holds it. He crouches down not breaking eye contact. -"Stella, I'm... sorry. I acted out on you." I know Jacob, and that probably was hard for him to admit. -"Let me treat your knees." He places a gentle hand over my wound. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her Dad was murdered fighting for what was right, her mom didn't love her dad all that much...or her, she plans to follow her dad's footsteps even though that might lead her to death.
