Thalia

Thalia’s eyes fluttered open when a yawn escaped her lips. The curtains were wide open letting in the harsh sun rays. It was still too early to expect people to be awake. Her hair was tickling the back of her neck as she sat up all the way. Thalia ran her small hands through her bright orange hair, pulling through tangles as she did. By now Thomas would have come to force her into the shower so that he could teach her, but that was no more. Thomas was gone with the slight chance that he was ever coming back. A sigh left her mouth as the thoughts of her brother flooded her mind. Thalia’s feet touched the cold ground when she commanded her body to stand up and go through the daily routine.

They were coming to take her house soon. They thought it was empty after all, why wouldn’t they come and repossess it. She needed to pack all her important items and clear out her mother’s safe before she leaves. But first a necessary shower. The water was exerting steam to display how hot it was. She stripped down eager to take her hot bath. The water seemed to be washing away her sadness and pain. But she knew that as soon as she walked out of the shower the pain was going to come back. She didn't deserve this. She wanted things to go back to normal. She allowed the water to run through her tangled hair getting rid of her migraine. Her hair was a mess that could never be contained. As many times as her mother, Thomas, and she has tried it won’t be tamed. Now she hides it. That is the only way to move around without being spotted.

The water stopped and she lingered in the tub a little longer allowing her skin to soak up the excess steam. Thalia walked out of the shower, wrapped two towels around her and her hair, and stepped back into her bedroom. As she dried off she sat on her bed fiddling with the necklace her mother gave her.

Flashback
“Thalia! Come here.” Her mother called. Thalia was in a the middle of a lesson with Thomas. She was learning about the different cells in the body. Usually their mother leaves them to her studies, but it must have been important. Getting up, Thalia dashed down the stairs to her mother. She found her mother sitting on the couch in tears reading a sheet of paper. Thalia knew better than she question what her mother does, but that paper was causing her mother grief.

“Yes, mom.” Thalia replied using her innocent voice. Her mother gestured her to come closer. She did as she was told and sat next to her mother on the couch.

“Close your eyes, love.” Her mother commanded softly. With Thalia’s eyes closed her mother placed the necklace around her neck. It was cold and made Thalia shiver. Her eyes opened immediately.

“Why are you giving this to me?” Thalia questioned while looking at the necklace.

“I thought you would want something to remember me by.” Her mother replied honestly.

“Where are you going?” Thalia questioned still naive to the outside world.

“No where love.”

End of Flashback


Thalia wiped away the tear that was coming down her tears and moved off her bed to get dress. She slipped on her undergarments underneath the towel before she dropped it. She put on her black jeans and a dark red t-shirt. She didn’t want to be seen. Brushing her hair as nice as she could, she forced it into a low ponytail. A look in the mirror and Thalia felt incomplete. Her mother wasn't there to tell her that her hair deserved to be free.

On the bed was her brother’s bandanna. She swiped it from his room after he was taken. His name was even scribbled inside. She tied to her belt loop and went into her mother’s room. Where is it? She thought turning the room upside down. Eventually she found the safe that contained her mother’s secret stash under the bed. Thalia hesitated to take it. What would happen if they came back home and it was missing? She couldn't get her hoped up though. Her mother had the key on her desk. Unlocking the safe she found around 10,000 dollars tucked away inside. Thalia took it and put the safe back where she found it.

Thalia stood at the front door staring at the place she was leaving behind. It was her home. Her only reminder of the ones she loved the most. But she had to go. She stared at the living room where she lost her first tooth. Thomas stole it and ran around the living room with it. In the kitchen, Thalia burned her first meal. Her mother was proud that she tried to cook ,but devastated that her cooking utensils were taken. Finally her gaze shifted to the staircase. There she took her first family photo. It was far from perfect, but Thalia carried around with her. It is now burned with the rest of the things she had to get rid of before ‘they’ show up.

She walked out of the front greeted by fresh air and a morning breeze. Thalia had no idea where she was going, but she had to get far away from here.
