I wake up from bed, feeling well rested. I'm getting up from bed when I smell pancakes. I hop out of bed, put on my black and purple colored robe, and go running towards the kitchen. Splendy back is turned, and he's bent over the stove making a huge stack of pancakes. Offender is sitting in a chair, and chuckles when he sees me. Trendy is sitting at the table, and his jaw drops when he notices me. "What?!" I ask. 'It's your hair,' Trendy says and passes me a compact mirror. My hair is standing up on one side. "So what, I'm going to brush it down later." I shrug. Trendy then starts preaching to me about proper hair care, but shuts up when the pancakes are placed in front of him. Splendy calls Jeff and Toby to the table. They come down to make their plates, and we all are eating in silence, until Offender tells me that I look sexy. I almost choke on my pancake. I place down my fork, wipe my face and get up walking towards him. I glare at him, and say, "Did you forget that I'm 'The Chosen', and if you make any more comments like that, I'll kill you in a heartbeat." He says something unexpected. He says, 'Sweetheart, no one in thousand years could kill me, I'd like to see you try.' 'Offender, you're making a grave mistake,' Splendy warns. Offender looks at me, holds my face and licks the syrup off my cheek. I jerk my head back, grab a knife off the table next to him, and I stab him in his side. "Alright, you want a fight, meet me on the training grounds in 15 minutes." I watch as he pulls out the knife, and I walk out of the kitchen to my room. "Offender, she's gonna kick your butt." Jeff says.

I go to my room, scrub my face, brush my hair, and pull on my training clothes. I walk outside to the training grounds, waiting for Offender. While I'm waiting, I pick up a knife and throw it at the target effortlessly striking it in the center. I pick up the next knife and I'm aiming it at the target, when the air behind me, blows making my skin grow cold. I turn around, and the trees are rustling and a tree branch snaps. I walk towards the woods, "Who's there?" I call. I am met with silence. As soon as I turn around, walking back towards the training grounds, a hand reaches out covering my mouth, and the other is wrapped around my waist dragging me into the wooded area. I fight my attacker, but he is too strong. Once we are deep in the woods, he turns me around, so that I can finally see him. It's Offender. He takes his hand off my mouth, as I'm about to scream and curse him out, he must have realized what I was about to do and he kisses me. I'm so caught off guard, that I step back and slap him hard across his face. He glares at me, and that glare is added with a sinister smile. I step back, tripping over a tree root. He chuckles darkly, as he walks towards me. I scramble to get up and start running through the woods to get away from him. He finds me and pins me to the ground. That's when I get the flashback..."Dad, I'm sorry. I promise I'll do better." I say with tears rolling down my 13-year old face. He walks up to me, holding the broken plate that I dropped from washing the dishes. He throws the pieces on the ground and pushes me to the ground, telling me to pick it up. I've must have been taking to long and he kicks me, my body rolls over the pieces. I feel the glass cut into my arms. "I-I'm sorry." I say. "Did anyone tell you to speak?" He demands, getting in my face. I don't reply. He grabs my hair, dragging me into the kitchen. "AAHHH!" "I'm sorry." I say, choking back my sobs. My dad releases my hair. He bends down and strokes my tear-stained cheek. I smell the alcohol reeking from his breath. Then, he gets on top of me, peppering my body with kisses, and tries to assault me. I kick him in the groin, and run as fast as I can to my room. I lock my door and slide to ground, sobbing.

I scream and cry. The bright light returns, blinding Offender. I realize that I'm still holding my knife, that I forgot to throw, and I stab him in his side again. He screams, getting off of me, and I use that as a chance to escape. Toby, and the others, must have seen the light, and come outside running towards me, as I make it towards the clearing. Splendor holds out his arms, embracing me as I run towards him, hugging him as I cry. "What's wrong?" He asks me, concerned. I explain to him that Offender was hiding in the woods and tried to assault me, just like my dad tried to many years ago. Jeff and Trendor run to the woods, finding a half-blind, angry Offender. Offender yells at me, and I break out of Splendor's embrace, running back to my room.

Once in the safety of my room, I lock the door and windows, closing out any light. I plop onto my bed, asking myself, "Why me? Why did I have to be The Chosen?" I think back to my terrible life, crying myself to sleep.

~ A few hours later ~

I wake up tracing my old scars, from abuse. I hear the guys arguing with Offender, that what he did was sneaky and wrong. I ignore them and fall back asleep, thinking of what my life would've been like if Dad didn't kill Mom, or if Dad didn't marry Diana, or if he wasn't so abusive. 'That would've been nice.' I think to myself. I dream about Diana, and what she might be doing right now.
