1 Chapter 1

"Siblings." By Treasure Jackson.

This story is about a girl named Viola.

EVERYTHING IN THIS IS NOT REAL, NOR BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

I was born in the year 2000 on Tuesday in February, then, I was a newborn. Me, Viola, and my twin brother, Jason, and a 1-year-old older brother who was born in 1999, Colby, and my 16-year-old sister, Lily.

By then, we were born in an abusive home, my uncle was the only one who cared about us, my grandmother and grandfather hated us and my mother and father for having our sister at teenage age, my grandmother was found once holding my sister by the leg as a newborn out the window on the top floor of her house, my mom was frantic, my dad was fighting to get to her while the police were holding him back, my grandfather did nothing to stop her, my Uncle ran in there and stopped her himself and they were all teens.

Later, they moved into my father's parents' house since they, especially, my father were unable to trust my grandparents again.

My mom and dad loved us, it was just his parents that were abusive. He would fight non-stop with them about us, they were a good family before we came along, when my parents would leave to go to school and work, they beat my sister.

When I was a child, my sister sometimes told me I think, which made me wanna cry and I was terrified of going to visit as a child which she would never let me do... fear would STRIKE her in the chest every time my parents left, she'd hide under a table until her parents came home.

They were married then, and my sister was 7, my mother had her at 16, my father was 17, my sister was treated horribly for anything she did. Hiding under the table was the only place she didn't get in trouble unless they were eating, she made that mistake and was beaten for it.

She was hiding there until Shane and Mercy, my grandparents, decided to have lunch, my sister said to me when I was older "they never did it before, this was a first, and it was so well-timed," especially since they always knew she was there, she thought it was planned and I'm sure it was.

They were at the table, kicking their legs, and rubbing their feet together, all she could do was sit there, fearing what would happen if she got out...

She started nervously moving, which is what she did when she was nervous, and still does. She was accidentally hitting their legs as they were kicking on her body and head, then she accidentally hit the bottom of the table with her head, that was all they needed before they got up, looked under the table, and dragged her out from under the table by her legs, the back of her head hitting the floor, she was screaming from the pain and the fear from seeing her blood on the floor which was leading a trace as she was being dragged on the floor, she never saw so much blood in her life, and the fact it was coming from her own body was scary enough, from her own head!

They pulled her up by her blood-stained red hair, (her hair was orange), Shane was holding her up by her hair, while Mercy beat her badly, and then they laughed at her when she was on the floor, bleeding and bruised, and told her she was a bastard even though she was born inside of wedlock) she feared for her life when she was face down on the floor, they kicked her on her back, she thought she had done something bad because my grandmother told her "you deserve this! You're a little bastard! Anything you get is what you deserve! And You don't want to make us even madder, do you?"

My sister started crying and said "N-No! I d-don't! I'm scared! I'm your granddaughter! I want to make you happy! But, you're never happy! You make me cry! Sometimes, I think you don't love me!"

Now, they were angry, Mercy kicked her in the face, "You've been very bad! You just made us more mad, Angry! And now, you're in big trouble! And, do you know what I have to do, now? I have to choke you, and it's all your fault!" Mercy said, hoping to strike fear in her, and it worked, "please! Don't! Don't do it! I'll be good! Really! I'll be out of your way!"

Lily didn't know what to do, then Mercy was only going to choke her 'til she passed out, no matter how much she wanted to kill her, she couldn't risk having a murder case, and going to jail, and her son not loving her anymore, so choking her 'til she passed out was as close as she could get to killing Lily, she really loved her son and found it hard to believe he got my mother pregnant with Lily.

She always hid what she did to Lily from him out of fear of his love ending for her, tears fell down my sister's face, she knew what was going to happen, Mercy got on top of her, and started choking her, it wasn't long, before she was gasping for breath and passed out, when she woke up, she was in pain, Shane was stabbing her in the leg, she cried, and shouted at him to stop, but it was no use... He wouldn't listen to her, Mercy was standing there, watching, she didn't care... Maybe it would be different if it was her... But she didn't love my sister... So she didn't help...

When Linda and Mike, my parents,) came home, Lily had already covered up the bruises and cuts on her body as Mercy and Shane told her to, so they didn't know...

Mercy would beat her if she tried to tell, and my sister knew it, which is why she was so nervous about baths, Mercy would bathe her, but the way she did it, hurt, so she hated...

Chapter 1

bath time...

Our Uncle came over to bathe her One day, "No, Uncle Bo! Get away! Please! Uncle Bo! Stop!" my sister was shouting at him and fighting him, it took an hour for him to get her in their...

After getting her long dress off, he saw cuts on her legs, he got her in the bath, after her fighting, then all the make-up was washed off, he looked at her bruised neck, back, front, legs, feet, face, arms, hands, and "bottom," He told mom and dad about it, mom was worried and called the hospital, dad held Lily's hand, Bo told Mercy and Shane, they said someone must have done it, Bo just looked at them, and told them "Well, why don't You find the guy that you think did it?"

"Well... We don't know who did it, Bo, we can't just go after them, but... I guess i should expect stupidity from your kind... You know... YOUR SIDE of the family? You were 18 when she was born, and you didn't THINK to be there." Mercy told him, I know my uncle was mad, "I was called in the army! I couldn't stay! I had a country to protect!"

"And you left the one who needed the most support." Mercy said, without a care, they were talking about my Mom, Now. My uncle told her "Look's who's talking! You were agents her! Told your son to leave his own child! What kind of woman are you!? You Had yelled at him for having them around! In front of everybody! You talk about support!!?? Look in the mirror at your own self-!"

Mercy cut him off right there, and with a mix of stress, anger, and sadness, said, "oh, please! I should have an apology for what happened! After all, you put me through!" she started crying "I shouldn't have to deal with this, and them! I never wanted them in my house!" she had paused for a second before saying what she had next, "I wish he would just... Send that child and Lucy-Loose away! That way, we could be a NORMAL Family, again, with a normal life!"

Lily heard everything, she started crying, because she thought she had caused a lot of the problems in the family, the arguing, the abuse, the hatred, the fighting, everything WRONG in the family, she thought was her fault, she hated herself, the argument continued on.

A year later, Mercy and Shane beat Lily horrifically, and started spanking her, with a knife wildly for hours, Lily was bleeding, terrifyingly, and getting Horrible and Terrible cuts, Bo accidentally walked in on them doing it, and there was a physical fight, too.

It was against a man from the army and navy, so you can guess who won that fight, my uncle.

He still had his rifle, they were lucky he didn't use it, he didn't want to scar my sister, because she still wanted to believe they loved her even though she was already scarred by their actions...

Mom and dad were at work and college, Mercy and Shane, never helped them take care of us at all, my parents worked hard to take care of us, my dad MADE them watch my sister, bad idea, of course...

But, he didn't know... So nobody can blame him... Bo told my parents with my sister in his arms.

While he was carrying her he pulled up her dress and then turned her around to show the cuts on her "bottom," to show them proof, My Mom cried and grabbed my sister and held her close, my dad was furious and unable to believe what he was hearing, but, he did, so they went to my grandparents, and there was a full-blown fight between them.

Worse than any fight they had before, luckily, having enough money to move out, my parents Moved.

My sister had turned 8 later and Mercy came to visit, Mom and Dad were sleeping, and so was Lily on the couch, she woke up to an uninvited visit from grandma punching her in her stomach, "Ow!" it left a bruise for sure, my sister saw her, shocked that Mercy knew where they lived, and now aware that her grandparents didn't love her And finally done with the tears she shed, she Ran!

She ran upstairs to my parents' room, banging on their door, I don't know if they woke up though...

She ran to her room and locked the door, my parents woke up then, I think...

Because, my Sister said she heard yelling and screaming throughout the house, it worried her, "What if Mercy had a gun now?" Lily thought, "She could kill them! Or, if she had a knife!"

She saw what she could do to her with a knife when she was seven!

What about her parents!? She had already lost the love of her son let alone his Trust!

And she never loved my mother!

She could even choke them!

Beat them to death, or worse!

She could torture them 'til their death and in FRONT of Lily! Making her Watch!

So, Lily sat there on the floor in a fetal position, her back against the wall, waiting for for...something...something to reassure her that good is going to come, in all this, then she wondered "Why? Why was my life, like... This? Did it have to be this way...? Did life ever even think, to remember that everyone deserves the GOOD part of it? Would life just get worse?" She was too scared to find out with all that's happening now, she didn't wanna know.

Crazy as it might seem, these things can happen to people, and it might be best not to know what's going to happen in the future. It scares people anyway.

My Sister, Lily, decided to come out, she was so scared of what would happen when she did.

She stood up and slowly walked to the door, her mind was racing.
