Chapter 3 - Angela's Past

"My name is Axxel..?" He said. While he was in deep thought, the girl came back to the hut to see if he was fine.

"Ah, I'm back, my uncle called me to help out in the field." She said while sweating and slightly breathing heavily. The girl's name was Angela. 14 years ago, when it was early in the morning while most of the villagers were tending the fields, the merchant came by to sell some spices. When he got there, Angela's mother, the village chief's sister, Sophia, greeted him and told him to come back later. Since she was good looking, the merchant decided to try his luck. And that same night, they were intertwined both in their birthday suits. When he came by 2 months later, while trading and selling goods, before he set off, Sophia came running to him.

"I think that I am pregnant," she said while panting even though she barely ran. And she also looked like she would throw up any minute now.

When the merchant heard what she said, he looked terrified, as he wasn't a wealthy merchant. 'There's no way I can take care of 2 more people' he thought while glaring at her.

"W-What's wrong is anything the problem?" She said while feeling uneasy and nauseated.

"Tch! Why would you go and get pregnant you filthy wh*re!" he exclaimed. He then smacked her, threw some silver coins on the ground, and left on his horse at full speed. She was shocked at what just happened and how fast it was. She couldn't help but cry. Some of the villagers found her crying in front of her door, and after hearing what happened, her brother was furious, so he and all the other villagers helped her raise the child together.

When angela was born, she saw her mother's happy expression on her face, but she also looked extremely exhausted. Because angela didn't know what was happening, she just thought her mother was tired. When she turned 7 the villagers finally told about how her mother died soon after giving birth to her.

She cried for days, thinking it was her fault. The villagers tried to cheer her up, but nothing worked. The only thing that made her happy again was her sister, Emma, the village chief's daughter. They had been friends for a while, and she was 3 years older than angela. Everyone was happy that angela stopped sulking and being depressed.

But the day before she turned 10 years old, she noticed all the villagers had an extremely sad look on their faces, and also that Emma was nowhere to be found. So she started getting worried and ran to her uncle's home. He was also wasn't in his home. So she went out into the field and saw him digging up a hole, which gave off an uneasy feeling. After she made it over to him, she could see a bloodied up mangled body that looked oddly similar to her sisters.

She noticed that the face also looked similar to her sister, and then she began crying so loud and hard that it surprised her uncle. He ran over to her and hugged her with a grim look on his face.

"I'm sorry, but I wish you wouldn't have had to see this," he said with a shaky voice. After that, during dinner, he told her all about what had happened. Nobody could sleep that night...
