"That wasn't the reaction I was expecting..." She frowned at her siblings lack of enthusiasm that their sister had returned after three whole months of exile. The least they could have done was pretend. Riley ran away at first chance, Zoey didn't even look in their direction and James acted as if Kylie wasn't even standing right next to her. What a heart warming family she had. Kylie must be thrilled to be back. Sophia shot a side glance a Kylie, wondering how badly she would take it. Was her sister about to throw a huge fit, as per usual? She couldn't tell. Kylie had been acting very precarious on the ride home, maybe she wasn't a ticking time bomb anymore?

"Uhm, thanks James..." Her voice trailed off as she walked into the kitchen, taking a look at what James was cooking. "Georgie not awake yet?" She asked, referring to their youngest sister Georgina who was no where in sight. "Maybe she'll be a little more excited..."

As Sophia inspected the pancakes she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Wiggling it out of her back pocket, she smiled as she saw Elliot's name pop up on the screen. Surely, it was to wish her a happy birthday. Bringing the phone to her ear, she stepped away from the kitchen and into the attached Laundry room, shutting the door behind her for some privacy.

"Hey Elliot!" She sounded genuinely excited for the first time today.

"Not much, what are you up to?" Why hadn't he immediately wished her a happy birthday and instead had asked her "what's up"? She still had to tell Elliot that Kylie was back, but this had thrown her off completely.

" ...... What do you MEAN what do I want for my birthday?" Her eyes glared at the washer in front of her, as if she were glaring at the idiot on the other side of the phone.

"You haven't gotten anything yet?!" She purposely sighed heavily into the phone just so he'd know how disappointed she was to hear that.

"Did you forget my fucking birthday?! You better be messing with me, Elliot!" How could he? Sure, she hadn't mentioned it as often this year but really, did he need a reminder every day?! The one thing she had always wanted him to remember and he forgot. As soon as he began to say something sassy in response, she pressed the "end call" button and stuffed the phone back into her pocket.

"God, he's such an ass sometimes!" She flung the door open and reentered the kitchen, frustrated with both Elliot and her family. All of them were so inconsiderate. "I should cancel this party, what's the point, honestly?" The lingering thought of how easy it would be to get shit faced came back to mind, erasing that notion immediately.

"Riley, could you get the door. I'm kinda busy."

Sophia raised a brow as James told Riley to get the door, who had been upstairs since the moment they returned home. Had everyone lost their minds today? "I'll get it..." She muttered, passing through the kitchen and to the living room where Zoey was still plucking at her violin, completely lost in her own world.

Before opening the door, Sophia peeked through the peephole, eyeing the two figures just beyond the door. Jerry, the cop who had arrested Kylie and was now practically her probation officer. Of course he was here already, she should've known that he would be the first to know when Kylie returned. The blonde woman speaking next to him she recognized as one of their neighbors, the woman who Zoey had said was one of her teachers. Even though she had never met her personally, it was easy to tell she was an "odd one." Especially from the stories she had heard when Zoey occasionally felt like talking about it.

Opening the door, Sophia put on a soft smile and let her tired eyes bounce between the two. "Morning, officer." She let her eyes rest on him for a moment before turning to Zoey's teacher, "How can I help you two?" She immediately assumed the two were seeing each other, or were perhaps friends of some sort. Why else would they be coming together to her house? A strange pairing, though she had to admit that she barely knew Jerry. Perhaps he was an odd one himself. The neighborhood was littered with those and she was no exception.

Mia Abner

Name
Mia Abner

Birthday
October 19th, 1994

Age
22 Years Old

Appearance
Height
5 Feet 7 Inches

Weight
158 Pounds

Other Prominent Traits
Mia has scars all over her body. Burns, lashes, knife wounds. Most of the worst ones are never exposed, but people can see a long slash above her breasts, short licks from a knife on her wrist, and a scar on her cheeks. If she's in a backless outfit, people will see the lashes and burns on her back.

Position
Melanie Wyatt’s roommate in Apartment 2B

Secret
Mia was a long-time victim of abuse, which is pretty obvious considering the scars on her chest. However, only her adoptive parents and the child protective services know the whole story. There's also another secret....why so curious?

School
She's a hardworking college student, majoring in Accounting and Finances. She's in her second year.

Occupation
She works night shifts at The Honey Pot. Not as a stripper, but a bartender.

Personality
Mia’s life started out rough, but she never lets it show. She always has a lopsided smile on her face, or at least some happiness dancing in her eyes. Be this as it may, she does get upset rather easily, and has a hard time controlling her emotions. When she's annoyed, she uses her scars as a sort of means of protection, seeing as many people won't approach her if they see them. She's never allowed her past to affect her, so when anyone asks about what happened, she usually just laughs and brushes it off.

Short Bio
Mia was born to an average family, on the outside at least. Her father was a great worker at a well paying job, and his mother was a sweetheart who did a lot for her neighborhood; keeping people out of the streets, the whole nine yards. On the inside however, it was a different story.

Mia assumed it was her father that started things, because her mother was a great stay at home mom for the first five years of her life. In fact, Mia clung to her and loved her dearly. Then, one day lost in memories of later abuse, her mom and dad came into her room with the belt. Of course Mia had wondered what was wrong, she didn't remember what had happened earlier that day that caused them to punish her. Later on in the night though, while they were still spanking her with strange smiles on their faces, Mia realized this wasn't a normal punishment.

Every night from then on, they would come in with new devices and beat her bloody. They never attacked her arms or face, because if they did she wouldn't be able to go out, and people would be suspicious. They used knives, wax, belts, sticks. It was later on in her life when Mia realized they probably found a form of sexual release from it, at least her father did.

Her mother was never truly into it, she just did it to make her dad happy. Almost every week Mia’s mom would pull her out from school early and take her shopping, or for her favorite meal. While they walked from place to place she would aplogize, but Mia never accepted. It wasn't until she was fifteen that things changed, and that she was freed from her miserable life.

Shortly after her fifteenth birthday, Mia made a rush decision to fight back. She didn't do anything agressive, but she held up her arms when the knife came down, and she finally managed some visible defensive wounds. Her father, in a rage, didn't even think when he slashed her face and chest. Mia had never been so happy, she was finally able to show everyone that her life was hell and she needed a way out.

It was later that week, during her mother's house party, that her father's co-workers called the child protective agency and she was taken away. She never went to court to testify against them, because she felt safe with her new adoptive family, and she didn't want to bring any more attention to herself in her new home. Now, she works as a Bartender in Millington, and is a hard working college student.

@Zordon Anthony Noll is most likely an NPC now since I don't think Athinar is in Secrets any longer.

@lovely complex

@Zordon Athinar (Anthony Noll) is still in but he has to be away for awhile and will be returning when able so placing a new character related to Anthony probably isnt the best idea at the moment. Haha
