thump, thump, thump.1
A young girl, about 15, with blood red hair and sparkling emerald eyes sat, her body shaking with fear as the sound of a man walking down the corridor reached her ears. She swallowed, and pulled her knees up to her chest, watching the door avidly. she knew who it was. He came every day, to torment her. Although he told her many times that what he did was for her own good, that one day she would thank him, the thought of being put through the amount of pain she had suffered so many times before still chilled her to the bone.2
The door opened. In it, stood a tall figure with shoulder length black hair and black eyes which glimmered with a cold satisfaction at seeing the girl cower before him. Her tear-stained face brought him pleasure.3
"Please, please leave me be! You can't hurt me anymore than you have before! Just go away! go!" the girl rasped, her voice tattered and torn. The man shook his head slowly. 4
"tch. now, now Sakura, you know what I do is only so that when you have to make it for yourself in the world you will be able to defend yourself. I believe you have already learnt the value of protecting your heart and your mind, now i just have to teach you how to defend your physical self..." He took two steps into the room, towards Sakura.5
" Too damn right I've learnt to defend my heart! You murdered my mother, my sister, my best friend, my first love! Why is that not enough to satisfy you?" Sakura was gaining confidence now, fuelled by her burning hatred.6
" Clearly you haven't learnt the value of discipline, and respecting your elders. Maybe your brother, Kris, or your one of your other sisters, Melanie or Gwen should be the next to go? hmmm?" He took another 5 steps closer. Sakura's eyes widened.7
"no! Please, no! Leave them out of this! You said... you promised!" Sakura's voice broke. The man took another 3 steps forward, bringing him to her.8
"I promised nothing." he replied coldly., and raised his hand, ready to strike.9
"FATHER! please, no more!"10
But still his hand came down.11

if by 'theme number' you mean what number theme I picked for the competition, I'd go for 14, probably. physical/emotional abuse. if I posted everthing everything else up it would probably stretch to include romance and stuff too.

hmmmmmm...maybe you ought to. uh you forgot to put the theme number-the only reason i ask is that i'll know when i'm reading th story what is about-and for publishing purposes so that i can give you the correct magazine that accepts material like this. anyway this story was good-a little frighting i was shocked to find out that this was her father. i would love to see more of this in the future. for now...it is fine the way it is.
