Prologue
I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside
All I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
The arguments bombarded the place again, she tried to block the noise by using her powers. But it was no use, their voices were also like immortal sirens, it should shatter anyone's unfortunate eardrums. Her younger sister's set of lungs was the loudest.
What would you do
You do if you knew
What would you do
This time, the fight was about the lack of chores done in the house. And as usual she would be the one with the fault stamped across her forehead.
"YOU LAZY GIRLS!" She cringed at her father's voice. "You women don't even work enough!"
"TELL HIM TO DO IT!"
"He's a boy, boys don't do household work!"
"FOR FUCK'S SAKE!"
Unable to take it anymore, she rolled off her bed and teleported outside before her door was kicked open and her sister along with her dad was met by an empty room.
I feel like I'm all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold
Finding herself outside in the cold as she walked under the dreaded thick grey clouds, she hugged herself, trying to keep the as warm as possible. The thunder rolled and she knew it was a sign that rain would descend from the heavens soon.
This is what she had been reduced to, finding solace in the worst of things. She did love her family, she loved them a lot. It was her, her sister and her little brother with their parents. They were a family of aliens and unlike humans; they had no taste for behaving exactly as humans did. Her sister was the one who used her powers for everything, even to tie up her shoelaces. Her brother had also been reckless and even made the mistake of letting his humans friends in on their secret...both incidents had been blamed on her, the eldest sister.
I don't think you'd understand
'Cause no one understands
“You should have taken care of them” her mother's voice rang in her ears.
“It's your fault they turned out this way” her father's yells burned through her mind.
She wished someone would just take her away, like in those fairy tales where Prince charming would gallop on a horse and meet the princess who yearned for an adventurous life. Who was she kidding?
All the pain
I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
She wasn't exactly a beautiful princess who had a flat stomach and toned limbs. She hated her wide hips and not so skinny stomach and fat thighs. She was ugly; her father had made sure that it stuck in to her brain. She wasn't the supermodel that all the men drooled over. She had failed to be what her father called beautiful.
Back to what
Was never said
Back and forward
Her eyes were glassy and her vision was blurred. Her father was right. Her lack of a love life had been the living proof of how disgustingly ugly she was. No one asked her out, nobody even wanted a one night stand with her because she was that bad.
She remained an unwanted virgin.
Nineteen and never been kissed, she thought sadly. It wasn't as if they knew she was an alien freak. They had to hide their identities just like any other alien on Earth.
Antar had been taken over by Khivar and his wife Tess who wanted nothing to do with those who loved Earth. Her parents chose Earth as their final resort because Antar had not been their satisfactory accommodation. Maybe she might have been happy there.
Who knew, after all she had been born and raised on Earth, California, Los Angeles.
Pieces of torn newspaper rolled on the sidewalk and flew in the air.
Coming across a building which seemed to have a huge party inside, she peered in the window and noticed there was indeed a party that everyone was enjoying. Her parents had banned her from parties and never let her leave the house to stay elsewhere.
She pulled back and discovered a flyer stuck on the brick wall. It read that the event was a bride ball, where the guy would be searching for a bride. Touching the paper again, she had a flash and realised that the family who was hosting this party where also aliens just like herself.
She scoffed, as if she stood a chance among those pretty ladies. Who'd ever look her way?
The party was currently in progress and everyone was just having a good time in their ball gowns and tuxes. She thought about it and knew that she'd rather be here that back in the hell known as her home.
Taking a deep breath, she entered the building.
Take me away
Break me away
Take me away
A/N: Song used Take me Away by Avril Lavinge.
Should I continue?
