Acidic Paradise
The thunder rang loudly in the air as the cool rain pounded hard onto the ground, and mercilessly onto the frail girl lying in the alley way.
She lay there motionless…her eyes hallow and her body cold. There she lay in a pool of blood; her own blood. Had it not been for the light rise and fall of her chest, one would believe she was dead…had anyone been around.
Her mind ran blank, and she felt so…numb. And oh so cold.
where am I? She tried to push herself up, but felt a sharp pain shoot through her body.
“AAHH,” She released a strangled cry from her soar throat.
She fell back to the cold, hard ground. She reached her hand up to her face to wipe it of some of what she thought was grime. The red that stained her hand brought her to a sudden stop. Blood, is it…mine? She forced herself to a sitting position and examined her surroundings.
“Where?” she paused, “What?”
Then it all came back to her. The fight with her mom, all the running, the endless rain, the man, and then the nothingness. The man… Newly formed tears rushed to her eyes at the thought of the man and what he did to her. She pulled herself into a ball and began screaming and crying as what the man did to her repeated itself over and over again in her head.
After an hour of crying in her own blood, the girl finally managed to pull her self together enough to stand. As she made her way home she examined her self more. She was limping, and looking down at her ankle made her think it was broken because it was a nasty purple color. Her clothes were all ripped up, barely covering her, but she rearranged them so that they gave her some protection. She had quite a few cuts and bruises as well. I wonder how long I was in that alley… She continued her trudge home though, and while she walked, the events of the past day reeled through her head.
Flashback
“Mamitsuna! What are you doing!”
Mamitsuna looked up from lighting her cigarette to stare at her mother, Yami. Yami has short clipped brown hair fiery red eyes, eyes that were reflecting her maternal concern for her child.
“Since when do you smoke?” Yami hobbled down the stairs with much difficulty due to her 6 months rounded belly. She snatched the cigarette out of her daughters mouth and held it in front of her face.
“Don't you know that this can kill you!” She threw it onto the ground and stomped on it. Mamitsuna gave her mother a hard glare.
“Why should what I do concern you?” Mamitsuna hissed, “It hasn't been mattering lately! The only thing you ever think about now is that baby and what you're going to do for it!” She said pointing at her stomach. “You haven't even paid me any attention since you found out. I try to talk to you and you don't even listen! You just blow me off!”
In shock at Mamitsuna's outburst, Yami stood there frozen, mouth agape. Mamitsuna pushed pass her and into the house.
End Flashback
Mamitsuna stopped and raised her hand to her cheek. Wet. She was crying. She released a broken sob from her throat. Mother…I'm sorry. What was I thinking? Tears rolled freely down her cheeks, red tears from the dried blood on her face. The saltiness of the tears stung at the cuts on her face.
She deserved this. Every ounce of the pain she felt and still feels…she deserved it. Her mind traveled back to the earlier events. She didn't even take notice to the fact that the rain had long since stopped its beating upon her.
Flashback
Mamitsuna stormed into the house, thoroughly angered with her mom. As she passed the living room, sickly painted in yellows, greens, and pinks a hand reached out and grabbed her arm. She whipped around and found herself face to face with her father's hard stare. She heard her mothers light panting from behind her. She must have run in after me.
“What's wrong with you?” Her father, Kaytos, demanded.
Mamitsuna jerked her arm away, “What does it matter to you!”
“Mamitsuna I'm sorry! I didn't realize that your father and I were treating you any different than we were before.
Yami embraced her daughter, or at least attempted to. Mamitsuna pulled away, making her mother lose balance. Kaytos caught his wife before she could begin to fall though.
“Mamitsuna! What were you thinking!”
Mamitsuna just ran out the door, its slamming blending in perfectly with the thunder.
