4 Years Ago
Young Tohru sat in a corner of her basement, despising her father's arrival. A car was heard turning into the driveway. Then car doors opening and closing. Then the front door opening, her father's and his friend's loud voices being heard throughout the house. Daddy's drunk, Tohru thought fretfully.
The basement door swung opened. "Tohru!" her father boomed. "Come here!"
Tohru swallowed hard and walked up the stairs, her dirty, white dress being dragged slightly. That dress was her only piece of clothing. "Yes, Daddy?" Tohru asked, her blind eyes gazing at the ground. "I want you to play the piano for me and my friend here," he said. "Moonlight Sonata," He pushed his daughter roughly towards the big Grand Piano.
Tohru sat down and placed her fingers in the correct spots on the keys while her father sat down on the couch with his friend, talking loudly and drinking beers.
She then started playing, the music barely audible over her father's booming voice. Tohru accidentally pressed the wrong note but kept playing, hoping her father didn't notice.
"Stop," her father ordered. Tohru did as she was told. "Rick, it's time for you to go home now," he said to his friend and his friend left.
Tohru's heart pounded in her chest now that she was alone with her father.
Crash!
Tohru cried out in pain as her father threw an empty, glass beer bottle at Tohru's back. The splinters of glass were stuck in her back, blood pouring down her white dress.
"You missed a note!" her father yelled, grabbing the collar of his daughter's dress and throwing her onto the floor. "I'm sorry, Daddy!" Tohru sobbed, tears streaming down her face. "'Sorry' isn't good enough!" her father boomed. "You haven't been doing your chores as well either! You're a disgrace!
You're blind! I'm ashamed to be your father! He then kicked Tohru in the back, making her slide across the floor. "I'm sorry, Daddy! I really am! I'll do better next time!" Tohru cried, her back bleeding even more. "There won't be a next time!" her father yelled, dragging her over to the basement door. "You're staying in here for the rest of your life. And if you come out, I will kill you!"
He threw her down into the basement. Tohru fell down the stairs, missing most of them. She layed at the bottom of the stairs, crying, a small puddle of blood surrounding her abused body. Her father slammed the door closed, engulfing Tohru in darkness and leaving her to cry in pain.
OOC: she keeps all this pain bottled up now. Poor Tohru.
