VERGLAS (Complete)

FREEZE TO DEATH

The spoon slips out of my hand and the sound of the steel spoon scatters in the dining room. Both Ellen and Adam looks at me with surprise. I consider closing my open mouth immediately.

My jaw is hanging from the shocking news I just received, and I almost drop myself on the floor in complete surprise. I cover my expression of shock quickly and pretend like nothing happened earlier.

“What a news? I mean, this is superb, actually great. I am happy for both of you." I stammer. 

I lied actually because I am not happy at all. I had this feeling in my guts that this ain’t going to be a good evening, better I don't say a word about the night. Ellen marring Adam? this is not digestible. I can’t believe in my ears, they are bleeding. Anyway, it's not my problem, why should I bother about them? I need not to stress out on this topic. I guess I feel bad for my foster father. He is a good and charming man, but worthless in buttoned eyes of his ex-wife.

I finish the rest of my supper in silence, which seems out to be very awkward when two lovebirds are ready to tear each other's clothes in front of an underage. Afterward, Ellen keeps talking nonsense to his soon to be a husband, Adam, for the rest of the dinner. She has even planned a family with him. Great, now they will form an army of shitake mushrooms and mindless minions. what else you can expect from someone like them?

I push my plate away after finishing my course and wipe my mouth with a napkin. i stand up and take my plate to put it in the sink.

 “You did your dinner quiet early today, dear daughter?” Ellen hisses but sweetly, but I can sense the venom in her voice. 

 “yes, I Am done for today and now I am full and I Can't have any more.” I reply to her statement, but to be honest, I have lost my appetite since they announced their proposal of marriage.

“but the dessert is still untouched, don’t you want some?” Adam asked politely and I roll my eyes internally.

 “No, thanks! I Am good.” I get up from the chair and put my plate in the sink. Ellen and Adam are kissing each other like I Am not present in the dining room with them; I want to puke all the contents I just had. Get a room, you horny fucktards.

Adam looks at Ellen with a bright smile and a future like he just won a million dollars lottery. oh! boy you just won a v****a used more than Google. Adam leaves the dining room to the living hall and Ellen approaches me quietly, “make sure to clean the whole dining area and do the dishes in time before you take your ass back in your cave. Adam and I going to my room to spend some good time, alone. So, please bother us for a while and do not disturb us until it's an emergency.” She orders me like she paid me wages for my bills.

 “Oh Crap!! How long do I have to deal with this lunatic? She is a b***h!” I mutter under my breath.

I pick up all the plates and other crockery and put them to the sink and clean the dining table. Meanwhile, I hear Ellen and Adam whispering and they probably talking about s*x; I guess. Ewww.. That’s gross, they are gross. Ellen is too cheap to have s*x. She thinks herself no less than a queen; but in reality,  she is a queen of drag, not forgetting the Queen of rodents too.

I put all the expensive crockery into the dishwasher while I wash the remaining plates in the sink. Soon after, Adam came into the kitchen and takes out two bottles of beer from the freezer. Great!! they will drink and Now I have to tolerate two adult drunkards. I hope both of them vomit after drinks and pass out in the bed soon.

I keep doing the dishes when Adam approaches me and touches my arm provocatively. I feel weird sensations over the arm where he touches me and I jerk off his hand away and glare him dangerously at him while frowning.

“How can I help you?” I maintain my demeanor because I don't want to detain with misbehaving with Ellen's guest.

 “OH!! I need some ice. Will you pass me the ice?” Adam asks. Why in the world he needs ice when the beer is already chilled? I ask nothing but I doubt. I take out an ice tray from the freezer and put the ice in an ice bucket. Meanwhile, I Can feel Adam is glaring at my back and a shudder went down to my spine. This feeling is not good, my intuitions tell me.

“Here is your ice.” I hand him the bucket, but he grabs my hand instead, “what the hell are you doing?” I yell at him, almost crying.

 “SHHH!! Don’t shout, I mean no harm. Just wanted to talk to you. If let me..” he came closer to me and I push him away. Soon Ellen came into the kitchen and for the first time in my life I felt relieved to see her.

“love. I was waiting for you in the bedroom. What took you so long?” she asks while placing her hand on Adam’s shoulder. Her gaze turns at me.

“Silver darling, there is no need to do the dishes. Look at the time, go to your room and sleep. The maid will take care of them in the morning.” she says from her sugarcoated tongue. I am that maid who will do it in the morning before hoping for the school.

“It is fine, I will do it” I roll my eyes and did the dishes. 

“darling she is very hard working….” The voices fade when both of them went back to Ellen’s room. But I could not avoid the feeling from those weird stares that Adam gives me. I shrug the stupid thoughts away and I quickly did the dishes and went back to my room, making no noises.

I take a warm shower and change into my most comfortable pajama. I get in my bed and read few novels till I fall asleep. All of a sudden, I wake by the sound of a knock on my door. I get up from the bed and peek through the little space between the door and the floor.

“Guess my mind playing tricks, I should stop reading thrillers.” I shrug and went back to the bed, cuddling with my duvet. I could not sleep and keep turning sides to find a comfortable position to sleep.

Soon, I hear the door is getting unlock. I panic and sit straight on the bed to see. I see the shadow of someone’s feet from the space. I thought to check it once; maybe Ellen is sleep walking again. I open the door quickly, but to my shock, Adam is standing at the doorway. He scares me and I thought of screaming to alert Ellen, but Adam manages to place his hand to cover my mouth.

He pushes me back inside the room and locks the door behind. “What the hell are you doing here? Get out of my room or I will shout.” I warn him or try to threaten him, but he ignores my warning and came closer to me, I shook in fear. He is drunk, badly drunk.

“Do you really think if you shout at top of your lungs and Ellen will come to help you? Haha! She had passed out already and there is nothing that will wake her up soon. And I know that you are not blood related to her, so there is no problem in having a little fun with you,” he smirks evilly and pushes me onto the bed. I try screaming, but he places his hand over my mouth and with other hand, he touches me on the places where he shouldn’t have.

Tears dwell from my eyes and I Am scared of this monster. This douche bag will rape and no one will save me. My room is at the corner of the house, and it hardly make any sense to scream on top of my lung and expecting anyone from outside will come to rescue me.

“I always wanted a virgin for myself and you are too beautiful to control my hard emotions right now.” I felt his boner from his pants on my thigh. He forcefully kisses me. s**t, his breath speaks alcohol and I want to puke right now. I try to kick him, but his grip is way too tight. He unzipped his pants and the fear washes over my face. I am sweating badly and gasping for air to breathe.

He removes my pajama. And I have never felt this helpless in my life. This massive dickhead, who will be my foster step father, is raping me. I feel nothing, I Am numb; I am too weak to help myself even. A tear escaped from eyes. All I Am thinking of stabbing him, killing him, because he disgusts me.

I shut my eyes, but nothing happens. I thought he will rape me, but he did nothing to me, in fact he halts. I slowly open my eyes and I fall back in horror. My eyes widened in pure shock. Adam was lying on top of me, but I found that his whole body is frozen. Yes, frozen. He is looking like an ice sculpture. I notice my hands; they were cold and there was ice on them.

Did I do that? I freeze him to the death?
