Chapter 1
Rebecca woke in the perfect blue morning with te birds chirping and the sun a brilliant ball of radiating yellow. She pushed herself out of bed and groaned. Until she realized that today was her birthday. Wait what! My birthday!! Her green eyes snapped open and she jumped out of bed and immediatly got dressed in a purple tank top, jean shorts, gold hoop earrings, put some lip gloss on, and pulled her reddish-brown hair back into a ponytail. Se raced downstairs and into the kitchen expecting to see presents. She wasn't disappointed. The table was piled with them. It looked like Rebecca got the new Journal she wanted, not to mention the makeup set. She ran into the living room grinning when she saw her parents. They turned around and smiled back when they saw her. "Good morning Becky!" her father said. Rebecca hugged her blonde haired mom who was sitting next to her father and she turned to her father. She took in his messy brown hair , glasses, and blue bathrobe. She laughed and hugged him the hardest of all. Her father was seldom home as a ambassador for the ministry of magic, and, when he was home he was often talking on the phone or on the computer typing up something for work. Her father laughed back and Rebecca pulled away. "morning father, mother." Rebecca replied. They went back to eating but Rebecca just stood there and began to tap her foot when they didn't pay attention. Her mother glanced up at her and hid an amused look while she said, "Ok Robert lets let Becky open her presents or I think she's going to explode." Rebecca just smirked as her father laughed and left to get dressed after he said ok. Rebecca and her mother went into the kitchen and sat at the table as her father came in dressed in jeans, a green striped t-shirt, and neatly combed hair. They sat down and Rebecca gave an excited squeak and ripped open her presents. She got a makeup set, a journal, a new racing broom(the firecracker 100), a nail manicure set, a chess set, -
the "Dragon Catcher" series(movies and boks), and her school books. She jumped up and hugged her parents hard. They chuckled and "Your Welcomed" her. She beamed. "So, what do you want to do?" they asked. Rebecca took on a mischievious grin and they exchanged a glance.

An hour before nightfall Rebecca lay on her boyfriends lap watching her new Dragon Catcher series. Her boyfriend, Zack, played with her hair. Rebecca thought back through the whole day. They went tenpin bowling, went shopping, ate lunch, visited her BFF Kimberly, ate dinner and she decided to call Zack and get him to come over. Rebecca didn't miss the meaningful glance between her parents as she told them she was going to call Zack. She decided to ignore it and called him. The movie finished as Rebecca snapped back into reality. "I've gotta go sweatheart," Zack said after a while. "Ok... just, call me tomorrow alright?" she said climbing onto his lap and kissing him. "Alright." He replied as he kissed her back. Rebecca got up and showed him out. As she closed the door and turned around she saw her parents standing there. She looked at them and said, "Yes?" They looked at each other before leading her onto the couch. "Sweetheart... we think... that maybe you shouldn't see Zack anymore. It's not because he's a bad person we just don't want you to date yet." They said. Rebecca sat there shocked. When she finally gained her voice back she croaked, "Y-you want me t-to break up with him?" she whispered in tears. "No! Well... yes." They said. Rebecca got to her feet and crossed her arms.'"No." she said. They stared at her in shock. "Rebecca just do it no questions asked." They said sternly.'"NO! I won't break up with him just because you hate the way he looks!" she cried out. They gasped. Her father got up angrily and grabbed her hair and pulled her into her bedroom. "Don't you dare disrespect your mother and I!" he roared as he back handed her acros the mouth. -
Rbecca cried out in pain. "If you ever say such things again I swear to God you will die!" he said between beating her face. She collapsed on the floor as he dropped her and left the rom while slamming the door behind him. She whimpered and managed to drag herself into bed. She finally started crying. Se felt blood run down from both nosrtils and her mouth and dozens of cuts on her face. She looked outside and saw the moon. Rebecca wondered what tomorrow would be like. She didn't even want to know. While her parents were talking downstairs Rbecca cried herself to sleep.
A/N: Soooo, how was it? -
Amazing. Love the story. I'm weird that way, though.
