Chapter 3

Skyla was falling backwards down the stairs. She tried to grab on to something, but she couldn’t. Her sister watched the scene with satisfaction.

No one was their to see it. No one could help Skyla who crushed onto the floor, as the stairs where over. She just laid their like a dead body not moving a single muscle.

However the next moment she got up. Her forehead was bleeding, as well as her nose and some other scars she got from the fall. But still she smiled at her Sister, while saying “Thank you sister, I’m glad i could help you.”

Cassandra got annoyed and clenched her fist “You’re welcome Skyla.” even though she said that, she was thinking something else ‘I hate her! I hate this smile! I hate her so much!’

Skyla interrupted Cassandras thoughts and said “Bye Sister. See you at home”

As Cassandra get pissed by Skylas attitude, she left without a word.

In the next Moment when Cassandra left, Skyla let out small sounds “Hiss. Hurts.” While trying to get up with the support of the wall.

No one else seemed to be in school anymore, as she stumbled threw the halls. She even almost fell down, so she spoke to herself in her mind ‘Come on Sky, you got this. This is nothing. There were days it was worse then this.’

So she got up again and walked further to her bike.

Even though she just fell down the stairs and is heavily injured, she drove on her bike back home.

There she gone, right after she entered the house, to the kitchen.

She signed “Let’s get this started. I only have 1 hour left.”

Despite of the injuries, she wears her apron and starts to make food. After she finished it, she placed the food on the table.

“Looks good, i really hope they like it” Skyla smiled while looking at the food, as she heard the sound from the door.

On her way to the corridor her mother and father entered the house. Skyla bowed slightly and greeted them “Welcome home Madam and Sir.”

“Hello” was all her father spoke in a cold tone.

Her Mother didn’t even made the effort to greet her “hmm…” she just throwed her jacket at Skyla and said “I hope dinner is ready?!”

In hope of a praise Skyla answered with a slight smile “Of course Ma’m, everything is finished and delicious.”

Even so She was polite and friendly her mother still found something to insult her “That’s our part to decide! Not yours!”

To avoid more conflicts Skyla bowed down “Yes Ma’m my apologies for being out of line.”

Her parents walked away, as her Siblings entered the house.

While Cassandra ignored Skyla completely, her little brother Louis talked to her as everyone else was gone.

“Hello big sis.” Smiling at her “How are you?”

Happy that Louis talked to her she smiled again “Welcome home Louis. I’m fine, thank you. But you should go now and eat something. Give me your jacket.” Skyla stretched her arms out, but Louis pulls away.

“Thank you, but i can do it myself. You aren’t a maid or something like that. You are my sister!” With that Louis put his Jacket on the wardrobe and left towards the dinning room.

Quickly Skyla followed Louis to the dinning room. She stood beside the table like every time and waited for her family to finish the food. Just like she does for every meal.

After Dinner her Mother spoke first “You did not a bad job Skyla. You are allowed to eat something. Before you go and do your work. Then go down to your room. After that don’t you dare to come out again! Got that?!”

“Yes Ma’m thank you for your kindness” Skyla bowed again as usual.

After dinner, all left her alone with the work. So she did what she was told to do. Ate some food, cleaned the dishes and the kitchen, finished her daily chores lastly. Finally she took er bag and gone down to her room. She was done with all that after 2 hours.

As it was just 21:48 Skyla decided to lay down on bed with her headphones and listen to some music.

However, after some Minutes her body starts hurting.

‘It was a harsh day. My body is hurting. I should clean the wounds, so i wont get an infection.’ Her thoughts reminded her, so she got up and into her own small bathroom. Only a bathtub on the left hand and a toilet with a sink on the right with a small mirror above it was inside But it was enough.

She looked in the Mirror and smiled at herself, while talking “See you are fine. Nothing to be worrying about.”

While she took the medicine box out and applied the medicine on her wound she started singing… “Break me down… Break me down to pieces…Break me to the bone…and when you see those pieces, just step on them and go.” She repeated those lines again and again, till she was finished.

Finally she got to bed, laid down and fell asleep.

After a short while at Midnight Skyla started to hear loud Banging noises ‘What is that?’ She thought while looking around.

“NO! PLEASE! STOP, LET ME GO!”

Skyla started to tremble as she heard that voice ‘No, please!’ She run out of her room upstairs.

“N-NO PLEASE! I BEG YOU! STOP! I’M SORRY! I-I WONT DO IT AG-AGAIN!”

“SHUT YOUR MOUTH!” Again some loud banging noises where heard.

Skyla run as fast as she could to the living room what she saw shocked her to the bones.

She started to scream “no-No-NO Pleas! Not THIS! STOP IT”

But her screaming was not heard…
