Chapter 1
Something that changed my life happened when i was 8. It was a girl, her name was Abbey, remember she was 9 at that time. Another of the neighbour's children, though a new one at that time. Remember they had just moved in. She lived with her mother, no one knew about her father. She was a serious child for that age, but she still went out and played with the kids.rnBut there was something strange about her, whenever she commanded something, everybody obeyed, like it was a natural thing to do. Can't describe it with words. For example, if she was losing in a game, she would command us all to go to our houses, and dont come out again to play for two days. One time Ollie, a 10 years old kid who was the little trickster of the neighbour, made her fall while running. The first thing she did while she turned back was to stare at him and say "pee yourself". Ollie instantly wet his pants, and runned away crying. Anyway, people didnt thought what she did was something strange or different. Over the years she became more quiet and serious.rnOne time we had group school homework. Becka, a girl from the group was ill, or at least that what she said as a excuse for not coming, so we both had to do homework without her. I remember i went to her house, as soon as i entered her mother told us she had a meeting she didnt remember, and told us she would come back later.rnAs we were doing the homework, Abbey said she was tired and that didnt want to do it more. Didnt know how to say it, but told her i would need her help since it was a lot of homework, and we were already one less in the group to do it.rnShe just gave me a grin look and said "since its a lot of homework, you will work twice as hard to do it now". I just could only nod and start writing and reading faster than before.rnOver an hour passed, i finished the homework, and told her so. Also told her that she was a coward since all she did was command people to do things when she couldnt face things. Shouldn't have said that.rnShe watched me as if i was really saying that, and asked "so you think im a chicken for doing this". I barely could said "well, yes, dont know, you quit always things, i think so, at least i dont do that". She laughed and told me "you know what, now you will do it too, you will be a chicken, in fact, you are now a chicken, and you will be a chicken till you go to sleep tonight, so now what you will do is go to your house clucking, flaping your wings and being the stupid chicken that you are now, do you understand?". "Cuaak, cuaakk".rnAnd that was it, woke up the day after that, my family grounding me, friends laughing for months of that, and her, always with that look, implying she could do anything she wanted with me.rnAnd she did some time later.
We were on the last period of school, i wasnt comfortable with what happened that time, the chicken thing. Anyway couldnt do much about it, but just couldnt behave as she thought she deserved. We were preparing a miniature figures for the school fair, we were 4, she, me, a girl named Miley and Tom. All the time she sat there doing nothing, and looking at me, waiting for me to tell her that, so she could have some fun on me later. But since i already experienced that, didnt give her the chance. Tom thought a different way and told her to help, kinda scared, kinda angry. She laughed and did nothing, couldnt believe what my eyes saw. Seems that that got upset to Miley, so she told her the same thing. Abbey put her eyes on me waiting for me to say something, but i couldnt. "You are aware of what may happen to you, dont you? Look at him, he knows, and stays quiet, though he thinks as you do". The three of us didnt know what to expect. "But you are right, im not helping and thats not fair, so i think i will give you some help". That got me confused, but should have known why she said that. "Ok guys, since we are preparing little toy figures, i think ill do my part, so, guys, stand up and pose as the good dolls you are". I could only watch as we three rised from our chairs to pose like dolls on a shelf. "Nice work guys, now, from this moment until the last minute of school, you will freeze in that pose, like statues, and stay that way, no matter you are hungry, want to pee, or anything". And like that, we were the living models of the school fair that day. You cant imagine something like that, it was until the point it wasnt even embarrasing anymore, it was a natural thing for everybody, since she did it, and it was good, actually, after the fair was over, she got an A+, and we didnt get any credit, the teachers told us that she did all the work, and that we only served as material for the show.
She knew she could do anything she wanted, but she was running out of ideas. Unluckily for me, it seems that she ended up sawing me as her guinea pig for trying new stuff.
Maid, dog, furniture, vehicle, everything you could imagine she may need, she tried that idea on me. At one point, it seemed like i was her property, even my own family saw it that way.
But what seemed an eternity as her property, changed. Like a miracle, something happened that put her powers on test. And my destiny was tied to it.
