Boy! Get your ass in here!"
Kai sat alone in the comer of his room. His legs pulled tightly to himself with his head resting on his knees. The devil is home. He thought. She's going to check.
He got up right away knowing he would get a good beating if he didn't get down right away. Fear consumed him as he made his way down the stairs. Her blue eyes piercing into his soul like a cold dagger. A very cold dagger. He could see the Popsicle stick she griped in her hand as he came face to face with his mother.
"Open wide dog!" she commanded as he obeyed. He's short, small, fragile, skinny, very skinny in fact. Every rib could be displayed on his body. She shoved the popsicle stick as far down his throat as she could till he began to gag furiously and dry heave. Nothing came up from his stomach as she pulled the stick away.
"I better not catch you eating boy unless I tell you! I find you pull shit like that again and the collar comes back on!" she threatened as her hand gripped his light brown hair in her hand. "Yes ma'am." he replied in a horse voice. He wanted to cry. Oh how bad he wanted to just cry out to the world, but that's a weakness. He wants to show the devil that she can't affect his pride when in reality, she shattered that years ago. She threw him into the nearest wall, his head colliding with the wall so hard he saw stars.
