My Life
"WINTER GET UP!!"I hear January shouting at me, "ITS TIME FOR SCHOOL." I wake up and unfold myself out of my blankets, I don't even know why I have them it's never cold, ever. "January why do you have to wake me up everyday because you have to go to school?"I asked her with a very annoyed expression. "Aw because it's fun to know I'm not the only one going through this misery,"she announced in a happy tone.
"What misery? I like going to school, but just because your mum is forcing me to go cause she doesn't want me at home doesn't make this any less happy,"I said seriously. She just rolled her eyes and glared at me. "Eat your breakfast Winter,"my 'mom' said. "You know I can't so please stop forcing me to eat in the morning,"I complained to her while shaking my head.
"If you don't want to be under our rules Winter, please leave. I can't deal with you anymore,"she said complaining as usual. Just to clear things up, her husband found me who is also January's step-dad. He loves me so much whereas these two witches just want me out of here. "Can't you leave the poor child alone,"my lovely dad said. My 'mom' mumbled, "If anything happens to you this child isn't my problem."
I heard it, I think I was meant to hear it. Tears started to build up in my eyes, so I got up and walked out of the house and sat in the snow with the clothes I was forced to where. Since they still believe in that conspiracy theory that 5 blankets saved my life. "Hey sweet-pea, what's wrong?"he asked kindly. "Your wife hates me and so does your daughter,"I said upset and serious, "what will happen to me if you die?" "First of all, I don't believe they hate you that much, but I don't know Winter. I'll think of something, I promise,"he said kindly, holding on to me tightly while we sat in the snow.
I grabbed my lunch and bags, we ran to school together. It was August going to September and I am terrified, if he finds me I am dead. I happily enter the school even though they keep telling me not to come back, my 'mom' refuses to listen so. My teacher sighed when he saw me, "Winter can I talk to you please?" "Yes sir,"I said formally. "Why are you here?"he asked seriously, just looking me dead in the eyes. "Um...my 'mom' doesn't want me to stay at home and I also have nothing better to do,"I said nervously.
"Fine, let me call the principle. You can sit in the library and do any research you want there,"he said knowing that I would still come to school but get something accomplished and I wouldn't be bored. I walked to the library after the principle confirmed it was ok for me to carry out this task. So I decided to research about the man who kills since his own was killed, the worst part is he won't kill a boy only girls.
I walked around the library collecting material and finally got everything I wanted. I found out about his daughter Ember, how she looked which terrified me since we looked the same, exactly the same. Anyways, I found out why he killed but why his daughter was killed is still a mystery. I guess I'll never know. I researched more about how he kills his victims and I compared it to how his daughter was killed but it wasn't the same, in fact it was very different, more gruesome the way he killed then the way she was killed.
Finally, the lunch bell rang and I went to go eat. I had...nothing. Seriously, again, every-time I don't eat breakfast she puts nothing in. When I eat breakfast I don't eat lunch cause I feel sick already. I saw a note too that read, "Stop being a burden to this family and leave already or kill yourself since your not mine and you'll never be mine." Tears fell readily. Because the only 'mom' and sister I ever knew and had didn't want me and my other family was long dead, I knew that for sure.
I went home with January, I just wanted to see my dad. I walked in but I only heard sobs. January shoved past me and I saw my dad dead on the floor, she wasn't fazed but I was. "He was trying to save another baby and got killed. The family was thankful but their baby died too. Her name was Lachesis,"she said sadly. January wasn't even bothered but she felt sorry for her mom so she bent down and hugged her. I wish I didn't speak but being me I did. "Isn't that a bit ironic, I mean her name?"I said regretting it as soon as two pairs of eyes were staring at me like daggers. I just swallowed really hard and looked down.
"Winter, get out of my house,"she said finally, "he never ever found any security for you for when he died so good luck. Take what belongs to you and not what we gave you and leave." I just stared at her, tears in my eyes. I gathered myself and my thoughts, I dropped the bag for school and walked out with the clothes on my back, since everything else belonged to them. I heard the door open and January came out, "My mom said everything Winter and everything means everything." She was being pretty clear. So I undressed right there and gave her the clothes, I didn't even shiver not one single shiver. It wasn't even cold but I could see she was starting to falter.
She quickly ran inside while I walked and knocked on the neighbors door. "Hey do you mind just giving me some clothes,"I asked hopeful, "I'm from next door but they kicked me out since my dad died." She nodded and then escorted me in, she gave me clothes. After I dressed up, I saw a young boy no older then 6 staring at me and he asked, "How'd you survive and not Lachesis?" I bent down and looked at him, I said, "Some people are lucky and I'm one of the luckiest." "Why,"he asked a simple question that I couldn't answer to it's fullest extent.
"Cause I was born in September on the 30th, but I was spared. I escaped,"I said honestly. The mom looked at me in horror. "So your parents ran,"she asked indirectly. "Yes,"I said simply. "Sorry buddy that your sisters gone but how did she look?"I asked the little guy, what I was trying to enlighten myself. "She had brown hair and eyes like all of us except you,"he said seriously, "maybe that's why you're still alive, you're special." A six year old figured it out but I couldn't, hilarious. I stared at him in shock, his mom didn't seem convinced. I thanked her and left.
I'm guessing you thought she was going to be nice and keep me. No, this isn't some sob story where everything goes right in life. I'm stuck in an eternal winter with nowhere to go and no one to love. But I do have one thing...
