In the middle of the night, the angry voice of the man can be heard by the people outside of the small darkroom.
"You impudent bitch!" Shout the man along with a loud sound of something being hit by a whip.
Inside of the darkroom where only the light from the moon that penetrates from the small window can seen the shadow of a man holding a whip while at his feet lies the body of a little girl.
"You should have died, not Helena!" The man said angrily before starting to whip the girl's little body which was almost covered in her own blood.
"I won't forgive a murderer like you who killed her own mother! You deserve it. You monster!" There was no sign of reaction on the girl's face staring out on the window as the man continued to whip her little body. It's as if she was numb from any kind of pain.
The man just kept whipping the body of the little girl regardless of almost seeing the bone in her body. Until a few moments later the man suddenly stopped and then started to cry.
"Why did you leave me Helena? Why?" Sorrow and longing can be felt from the man's voice. He loosened his grip on the whip and knelt down while continue to cry.
After a while, the man stopped crying and was stunned for a moment. It's as if a devil whispered to his ears that makes his face become twisted.
"Right, If you hadn't gave birth to this monster I'm sure you're still alive by now. This monster killed you so I'm going to kill it too." The man was filled with anger and hatred while looking at the little girl. He grab the whip and started to whipped the body of the girl excerting more force this time. He whipped the girls body again and again. He didn't stop until he heard and see some reactions from the little girls face.
Satisfied from the moan he heard from her, He stood up then went straight to the door to go out. The maids and the butler who were just listening outside of the room a while ago straightened up. They secretly looked at the man's appearance but only as far as to his clothes did their eyes reach for fear of staring into the man's eyes.
The drops of red liquid can be seen on the man's white suit while the whip he's holding can see the red liquid dripping from it. He grudgingly threw the whip he was holding that hit the butler's feet.
"Clean that mess." The man said coldly to them before leaving. The butler hurriedly took the whip at his feet before following the man. While the maids were arguing who's gonna clean the room. But after a while, one of them push the youngest one among them and look her in the eyes as if saying that she know what to do. The girl couldn't argue with them and was left no choice but to step forward and went inside of the room carrying a bucket and a mop.
As the girl went in, she immediately covered her nose because of the bad smell the room has. She walked slowly towards the body of a little girl laying in the floor. Using her feet, she pushed the girls little body to the side and started to clean the floor. When the girl finished cleaning up, she went straight to the door with her cleaning materials and gave a murderous look to the little girl before she leave.
Now, the little girl was left all alone in a dark room still covered with her own blood. No one came to help her clean and treat her wounded body.
The little girl just closed her eyes praying that this was just a dream.
***
It was morning when the little girl woke up because of the dazzling sunlight that hit her face. She didn't get up at first and just felt the heatness of the sunlight for a few minutes before deciding to get up but was stopped because of the severe pain she felt all over her body.
'I thought i was just dreaming.' The little girl murmured while forcing herself to stand-up paying no mind if the wounds from her little body starts to bleed again.
The little girl look at her skinny little hands stained with blood then took a small steps forward to look at the broken and old mirror in front of her.
She touch the mirror and examine herself through it. The little girl infront of her has a silver curly hair that passed over her legs. She also has a unique eye color. Because her right eye has a color of ocean blue while her left eye has a color of gold. It was so beautiful that it can attract the people's attention once they caught a glimpse of her eyes. However, her beautiful eyes shows no sign of emotions. She looked down at her small pinkish lips that were still stained with her blood.
'Huh! Why does everyone didn't like you even though you had a very unique and beautiful appearance?' The little girl asked to herself in the mirror.
She looked at her face a few more times as she looked down to her body. She's wearing a loose shabby clothes that slid off to her thin shoulder. She pulled her clothes up and found bruises all over her body. Although she has a skin that as white as snow, it was almost covered by bruises. Some are still fresh with blood while others started to turn purple and black.
After examining her body, she pulled her clothes back and opened her tiny hands in front of her. Her hands was full of scars and calluses. She turned her back at the mirror and looked at it. The moment she saw her back, she felt like crying. Because her back looks awful. Due to the excessive whipping she suffered from the man's hands overnight, her flesh was teared open that she can almost see her back bone. Her wounds are so deep that it hurts so much.
