"Father?"

Father was asleep in his large king size bed. It's black curtains making a large black shadow on the bed made it seem as if there was no one on it. As a six year old I sometimes had trouble getting onto the bed.

I walked up to the bed climbing onto it by stepping on it's bed frame that was made of metal. looking down at father, his long black hair covered his face blending in with the dark bed sheets.

My long silky blonde hair drapped over him when I leaned down and gently rubbed father's shoulder.

Father had been working all day, never taking a rest, as the god of the underworld, he was always busy. He never had time to play with me, only my twin could.

My twin, Kaylee, looked different from me. Her hair was short, mine was long. Her hair was black, mine was blonde. Her eyes were deadly red, mine were ocean blue.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Kaylee was the image of father, father said I was the image of my mom. That's the reason he ethier spent his time alone, or with Kaylee.

I've never met mom, father sent her back to live with humans after I was born. She never asked to visit.

Kaylee was with father all day, I had stayed in my room. I wasn't allowed to leave my room, only Kaylee could that day, father didn't want any distractions, he wanted to be with Kaylee today.

"Father? Can we cuddle?"I ask the lifless figure.

Father groans a bit,"go sleep in your room you worthless child"he said quietly in a low tone not daring to open his eyes.

I felt my heart sink at the word worthless,"yes father,"I said feeling tears build up inside.

I climbed off the bed and ran out of the room. My steps being silent, I sniffled as I ran to my room. I climbed onto kaylees bed with her, I didn't want to sleep on the floor tonight, it was too cold. I settled my eyes on Kaylee trying not to cry.

All father called me was worthless, Kaylee was called helpful. I try to help but father always said no, he said he'd rather work with kaylee.

I climb under the blanket suddenly hearing a soft sound.

'macaria?"
