'Thud'
'pak'
'pak'
A some crowd of students gathered beating up a young girl,her shiny silver hair now covered in mud,her blue eyes filled with tears and pain,her dark skinned face filled with bruses and slap marks
"Pathetic Crystal, totally pathetic" one of the girls hitting Crystal remarked and landed another slap on her face
"Please.."
'pak'
Another slap met with Crystal's face as she tried to speak
This was the third time this week, fifteenth time this month

When they were done with her they left her there weak and bleeding not caring to take her to the nurse's office.
With the little strength she has, she got up leaning on the wall for support and coughed out a handful of blood. It was her every day Life,she accepted it, she was different from the other kids, rumoured to be a curse that killed her mother at birth, anything bad that happens would be on her,she had to bare it but she still longed to be in a place where she was not the only one left out,not the only odd one out of the bunch
Crawling into a corner,she burst into tears, crying silently as to avoid unwanted attention
"Why me?why me?why am I different from them?why can't I just be like them?"she muttered crying more and more
'You're different'
A voice whispered into her ears
"I don't wanna hear it"she said covering her ears trying to get the voice out of her head but it came again
'You're special and u know it'
She screamed and ran into the school garden. The students watching her run just scoffed and snickered
"She's gone mad again"
"Who cares?"
"Weirdo"
"A freak in society"
They commented but Crystal didn't care,all she knew was to get the voice out of her head.
Crystal ran to the school's garden and hit her head against the oak tree several times hoping to get rid of the voice but to avail,she gave up and sat down leaning against the tree
"I hate myself"she muttered then looked at her arms and legs,the wounds were gone,she touched her head,the wound was also gone
"As expected"she muttered and sighed not bothering to go back to class and instead went home
~DAVIS RESIDENCE~
Crystal opened the gates going in and int the house,she wasn't rich neither was she poor just somewhere in between.
"Crystal!"
Oh shit!
Crystal clenched her fists and turned to where the voice came from,it was a woman in her early thirties holding a cane,her brows creased in a frown,her brown eyes staring intently at Crystal
Why now?
"Where are you coming from young lady...*she took in her appearance*...and looking like this?did you kill someone?"the lady asked
*More like tried to kill me*
She thought but kept it to herself
"Answer me u b*tch!"
"Where else would I come from?"Crystal asked calmly unbothered by the woman about to lose her temper
"Are you talking to me like that, I'll teach you a lesson"the woman said and Crystal snapped
"SHUT UP WILL YOU?!!"
'pak'
'pak'
Two sounding slaps made way to her face
"How dare you talk back at me?,do you know who I am?"
Crystal clenched her fists and went to her room trying so hard not to commit a crime.
At dinner the atmosphere was dence with deafening silence,she was sitting with her dad,step mom and her older step sister
How did that happen?, we'll find out later
Her dad,Mr.Davis made an announcement breaking the silence
"Crystal will be changing school's"
1..2..3....
Norine:"What?!"
Clara:"Daddy?!'
Crystal:"..."
"Yes I noticed the way Crystal comes home in a bad shape everyday and I'm greatly disappointed that I didn't notice sooner"Martin said with a straight face
"Which school are you sending her to?"Morine asked
"A school two towns far from here. Arcum Asylum"
Another round of shock smeared their faces, Crystal especially
"A-arcum..as-sylum?"....
