Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 05: Shattered Soul

She let out a heavy sigh while her tears are streaming down from her eyes. Felisse then looked up to the sky, a shade of pitch black roofing the twinkling starts and the lone moon, as if it's looking down to her. She smiled as she spoke "The universe gifted you to me, although my past seems to make me unworthy. I wanted to be free but no one helped me, no one can hear. You're the only one who brought back my happiness.. the happiness I lost for who knows how long and i ruined it. I ruined everything." She chuckled bitterly as she clenched her hand. Her memories kept on playing to her head. Regrets.

...

Time has passed and things are changed. Michelle's already on her 3rd grade. She grew up in a life where nothing but only pain resides. Abused by the hands of her own mother but she kept wearing smiling like everything is perfectly fine. Michelle came home from her school. She immediately rushed towards her mom's room to give her the keychain she bought. "Mommy! Mom? Where are you? Mo-" her eyes widened in shock, couldn't even utter a single word as her eyes locked to her mother. Fellisse, bumping her head against the wall while mouthing words repeatedly, "You never did anything useful for this family!". It's happening again.. Michelle shook her head and rush towards the kitchen, she used the chair to grab the emergency kit placed on the kitchen cabinet. She hurriedly went to her mother and hugged her from behind, calming her down and made Felisse face her. She then flashed a warm smile at her. In her eyes saying "Everything is alright." Helping her ease the pain she never knew about. "Mommy, stop crying please? I'm here, look. I'm smiling, please smile too mommy." Felisse then held her daughter's cheek and smiled as a lone tear fell from her eyes along with the blood on her forehead kept on rolling down on the side of her head. "M-Michelle" she uttered before hugging her daughter tightly. Scared. After Felisse calmed down, Michelle immediately cleaned the blood from her face gently using a towel soaked in warm water and treated her wounds. Felisse fell asleep, in just a minute she already entered the dreamland. As she went to bed, her daughter kissed her mom's cheek before she stood up. She cleaned the blood stains in the room before she changed her clothes and lie down beside Felisse, she gave her mom a gentle but tight embrace as she slept peacefully.

"You've been a good girl, but that doesn't mean I already forgive you from the nightmare you caused me." Felisse intoned quietly as she walked towards her sleeping child, holding a sharp knife. She locked her stare at her daughter. Looking at her furiously. "You never did anything useful for this family!" She shouted as she repeatedly stabbed her daughter's chest, smiling like a psychopath and blood splattered on her face. She then sat beside her daughter's dead body and stared at the wall blankly before she licked her daughter's blood on her hand.
