“Are you going out again?”
“Yes, I’m going out again,” I rolled my eyes and yanked the
door open. Mom strode towards me, grabbing my shoulder and
pulling me back. Her nails dug into my skin like claws. Pain flared
within me and I glared at her, my eyes shining with fury. She backed
away.
“You can’t keep me prisoner here,” I yelled as I marched out
onto the porch, standing in the front yard. The ground shook under
my feet and I could almost imagine great cracks splintering out from
the point of impact. I felt bile rising to the back of my throat as the
energy twisted inside me, as this beast roared and tried to break free.
“I’m not trying to keep you prisoner Kyra, I’m just trying to
keep you safe,” Mom yelled, glancing anxiously up and down the
road. The night was quiet and our voices carried deep into the
distance, although I didn’t think there was any chance of anyone
listening. It wasn’t like there were many people in this dead-end
town anyway. We might as well have all been ghosts. Sometimes I
wished we were.
“I don’t need you to keep me safe. I’m quite capable of taking
care of myself. I’m 21 now,” I yelled back, folding my arms across my

shook my head, intending to walk away from her again, and she
grabbed my arm again, pulling me back.
“You are just a child and you don’t know what dangers are out
there,” she hissed.
“I do, because you keep telling me about them. All my life
you’ve been trying to keep me from living. You might as well have
put me in a cage and thrown away the key.”
She scowled and furrowed her brow. “You have no idea what
I’ve done for you, what I’ve given up for you.”
“Oh yes, here we go again. You were going to have a grand life
and you were going to be a queen. I’ve heard it all before Mom. Woe
is you. I don’t need to hear it again. Just because you’re a bum
doesn’t mean that I have to be.”
“I was never a bum. You don’t know… you don’t know
anything,” she cried out. “I wish that your father was here. Maybe he
could talk some sense into you.”
“Yeah, well, he’s not,” I spat. Bile rose in the back of my throat.
It all came back to my father, this man who had died before I was
born, although I wasn’t sure if this was just a lie Mom told herself to
make herself sleep better at night. Maybe he was out there now, in
