Chapter 1 The Beginning
I look in the mirror as the cruel man who I once called my father cut my once long h/c hair off. He hated me and the way I remind him of my mother with my hair. She walked out on us and never returned for me, so my father took his anger out on me. I couldn't escape him especially since I was mute. I could only make a small number of noises but I couldn't speak.
I sign as he yells at me to sweep up my hair but instead, I look into the mirror that was beside me. My e/c studies the pixie cut that seems to make me look more like a boy than a female. I grabbed the broom and dustpan to sweep the hair up. I dumped it into the trash can and head to my room which was bare except with a bed and a dresser with a few clothes. I sit on my bed wishing my mom was here with me but she left me with an asshole. I grab an old black jacket to go to the store in and my wallet that has a good amount of cash in it.
I walked out of the house and walked to the part of town that had tons of stores. I walked past a costume store when suddenly an idea came to my head. I walked into the store and looked around until I found the mask section. There were over hundreds to choose from but I settle on one full face mask that was just white. I grab the mask and felt satisfied and decided to decorate it later on. I paid for the mask and went to a clothes store made for guys and bought a full outfit and an oversized black hoodie. At my final stop, I bought bandages to bind my breast.
I headed home when it started to get dark and headed to my room to pack. I grab a box out from under my bed and open it to reveal a knife that my mother has left behind. I held the knife up and studied the handle that had roses engrave in it. I grab the revolver that had roses engraved in it too and put it in my bookbag along with my mother's picture and clothes. I also put my diary and the stuffed animal I had since I was born. I heard my father yell for me downstairs and I smiled knowing it was time to get the show on the road.
