Fan Fiction ❯ Betrayal ❯ Betrayal ( One-Shot )

I can’t believe what I’m seeing as I’m washing my daughter’s sheets. Stains…familiar stains but not familiar on my daughter’s sheets. On my own sheets, the sheets that belong to the bed I share with my husband. These were semen stains. They do not belong on my baby’s sheets! On her blankets, even.

Immediately, I put the sheets down and go to find her and confront her. I ask her immediately what the stains were, even though I knew.

“I spilled something.” She says, shrugging.

“No. You didn’t. Someone else did. Tell me, what boy was in bed with you, please I need to know.” I say, pleading with her because I know that when she gets stubborn I can get nothing out of her.

“Nobody. You’re overreacting.” She says, nonchalantly.

It took much probing, but finally she admitted it. It was her brother. I turned away from her and covered my mouth with my hand. Her own brother! She’d had sex with her brother!

I walk out of my room and into my son’s room, where he’s lying on his bed, reading a comic book. Seventeen and he still reads those things…but that isn’t what I came in to speak to him about.

“How could you?” I ask, glaring at him.

“How could I what?” He asks, looking at me with such innocence. But, I’m not fooled.

“Don’t act innocent. How could you sleep with your own sister??” I’m nearly crying now. I’d left him in charge, I’d left him to take care of her to keep her safe and he turned into a predator.

“What?? That’s disgusting, where did you get that idea?” He asks, indignantly.

“Don’t give me that. She already told me.” I counter.

“Mom…it just sorta…happened.” He says.

“No. It didn’t just happen. I’m not going to stand for this. I won’t let you do this to your sister.” I say, leaving the room and going to my husband. I know I should have gone to him first, but I had to do this. I couldn’t bear to leave this unattended for a single moment longer than necessary.

Their father and I talked it over…and decided that it was too late to send our son away. He’d be out of school soon and back to hurt our daughter again. So…we opted to send her away, instead.

When we told her, she threw a fit. She didn’t want to leave her family, her friends, the only town she’d ever known, the school she liked. But, this had to be done. We couldn’t allow this to continue.

I don’t understand how our only son could do this to his own little sister. How he could do this to the family. We had trusted him that night that we were gone. He betrayed our trust and everything else that goes with a family. I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to forgive what he’s done.

Our son moved out days after our daughter moved away to boarding school. I doubt that we’ll be hearing from him much…

A/N: While I’m for incest being legal, I do realize (now but through no experience of my own) that it can destroy the family unit. I am trying to portray that here. Also, I know this isn’t a very good follow-up story, because it goes a bit fast. But, I couldn’t think of a way to make it longer and keep my own interest in it. And…it’s three in the morning. Heh.
