Twisted Fate

Chapter One

Waking up and dragging myself out of bed is one of the most difficult things to do. I just lay there among my pillows staring up the ceiling, prolonging until the very last second. I know I have to get up and go to work but having to deal with people just sounds insufferable today. I roll over and look at the clock on my bedside. Seven AM, what a dreadful time to get up. I hate mornings. I hear the creaking of the floorboards by my door right before I hear the banging on the thin wood. Angel's shrill voice pierce my ears as she yells on the other side.

"PASTY GET YOUR ASS UP!!!" She stomps back down the hallway sounding really pissed off.

I groan and slide the covers off. My name's not actually Pasty. Its Paisley, but they call me any name they can to get under my skin. They being my foster "family". And I use the term family loosely. I turn on the light as I walk into my closet pulling on my clothes for the day, just a simple blue t-shirt and black skinny jeans.
I throw my pale blonde hair up into a ponytail as I walk out of the room. Down the hall I can hear Angel whining to Adam and Misty. I round the corner and they all stop talking and look up. Angel sneers at me from the dining table. Her dark green eyes pierce into the side of my face as I walk to the counter to grab an apple.

"Angel, baby, are you ready to go?" Misty lovingly says to Angel. Adam doesn't even look up from his paper to acknowledge that I'm in the room. Not that I thought he would.

    Adam likes to pretend I don't exist while his wife, Misty and daughter, Angel relentlessly torment me. They hate me and I'm not sure why. When I came into their house I was 5 years old. I'm not sure what happened to my parents but Misty always told me they abandoned me.

    I have soft features with straight white blonde hair and bright blue ocean eyes. I'm pale with a splatter of freckles on my face and stand barely above 5 feet. While angel has dark sharp features. With chocolate brown hair that falls in waves below her waist and shiny Emerald green eyes that darken at the sight of me in disgust. Her olive skin and tall and lanky shape makes her look like an European princess. She's an exact copy of her mother.

    Misty likes to pretend that I was just a mutt that she and Adam picked up off the streets and I should kiss her and Angel's feet like I'm some sort of peasant beneath them. I put up with it because what else am I gonna do? I have no family or friends and the car that I use is rundown that its barely able to make it 10 minutes down the road. I only really use it to get to work and home anyways. It's not like I have friends or a social life. If it was allowed I'm pretty sure that Misty would lock me in the cellar and only let me come out to do their chores and shit.

    I look up from my thoughts to see Angel still glaring at me. I take that as my cue to leave and head into work for the day. I work at a book store in town. I don't make much but that's okay. Its my only escape from the dreadful house. As I walk in the door the smell of coffee and old book smells hit me. A smile grows on my face as I walk past the counter to the back. Sloane comes from her office with a big smile on her chubby, wrinkled face.

"Hey kiddo, ready to work today?"

"Yes Ma'am. You know I can't stay away from here." She smiles kindly and walks away to the back agian. And I get to work. The day flies by as I'm made busy in the shop recommending books and making a lot of sales . I go on break and come back and work the rest of the day without any incidents. I even start a new book about fairies that I can't put down. The next time I look up from the clock its 7 pm and starting to get dark. Sloane comes back out of her office.

"Alright kiddo, that's it for the day go ahead and head home before it gets dark. Good work and ill see you this weekend." I smile and head for the door.

"Bye Sloane! Let me know if you need anything and ill see you this weekend." I walk onto the street to my car a couple of blocks down. I'm digging into my pocket to get my keys out when I feel breathing down my neck. I start to spin around just as I get slammed into the side of my car.

"Hello there, pretty girl." The guy pushes his body against and purrs in my ear.

"How bout we have a good time." I freeze up and shiver in fear as he runs his tongue up my neck to my ear. His fingers trail the front of my shirt up my waist.

   I look around the best I can while being pinned against my car under the guy. No one is around now, its fully dark and I realise I'm all alone and won't be getting saved. His hands trail up and rip my breast out of my bra as he starts groping me. I stand there as tears start falling down my face, silently crying.

"Oh, yes, just be a good girl while I make you feel good" he groans into my ear as he pushes his hard on into my back.

    'Oh god, I'm going to get raped. No one is around to save me. I need to fight back. I can't let this happen' As the thoughts cross my mind a rush of heat flows over my body. The guy that's groping me howls out in pain as he staggers back from me. I quickly whip around as I smell burning flash. The man is staggering to his knees. His skin blistering as if he was burning. But there wasn't a fire or anything. I stand in horror as his skin bubbles up and swells. He screams in agony and falls to the ground while I just stand there watching. Within minutes the man is dead. His skin red and raised in bumps like boils. I have a slight satisfaction of knowing the man is dead.

'Did I do that?'
