A Different Kind of Perfect: Prologue -Chapter Two

Prologue:

Two little girls alone in a room, both small for their age. The youngest looks more like a two-year-old than a five-year-old. The home they live in is luxurious, a home fitting for parents in their parents’ position.

Outside appearances can be deceiving, things are not always what they seem to be. Celeste learned that when she was only a little girl.

Emily, the youngest child, falls asleep one night, after her parents give her some milk. The milk tasted funny so Celeste dumps hers, but Emily drinks some before her big sister could stop her.

The parents eat in front of the Oldest Child, before hiding the body of the youngest.

You were supposed to die too, the Mother screams! Beating the child, before the Father stops her.

Remember no bruises. He says. Image is everything to them, no one can find out what they do to their little girls.

She shutters realizing they want her next, but she’s older, quick on her feet, she’s not going to let them kill her too!

Celeste learns then that even silence can be bought, and the very system that is supposed to protect you can fail you, especially when your parents have power and money.
