Chapter 3 - CHAPTER TWO: A DREADFUL PAST WHICH SHE DIDN'T KNOW.

"Mom it hurts" I said sobbing. But she had a crazed look in her eyes.It looked like she wanted to get rid of me. I had always been beaten blue ever since I started talking. I feel something is different today. There is a looming shadow of something. I can't help but doubt my sixth sense. She is my mother, no matter how much she hates me she would never do anything more awful. I tried to relieve myself.

Suddenly, she stormed out of the room. I relaxed knowing my punishment was over. But this relief was short lived. She came back after 10 minutes and had a garden cutter in her hands. She slowly dragged it across the tiles. I couldn't get my body to move. I was horrified. What is she going to do? Is she going to kill me? But I am her daughter. She wouldn't do that. Did I do something wrong? Where did I make a mistake? Thousands of thoughts rushed past my brain.

In the mean time , She was standing above my head. She started to rapidly open and close the cutter. She then grabbed a handful of my ash coloured hair and cut it. I screamed in terror. But nobody came to my rescue. For the maids and other servants in the castle this is a normal occuring. They would not bother coming in to save me. For them, their job is more important than a child who is being abused by her own birth mother. She let go of my hair and caught my hand but let go of it after pondering over it for a moment. Then all of a sudden she used the sharp blades of the cutter to make marks over my arms and legs.

By now I was a screaming mess. I begged for someone to save me from this monster. I called my father. But he would not have cared even if he were here let alone now that he has already gone and would probably never look back here. The burning pain was slowly increasing. It began from my arms then my legs and now she was cutting through the skin on my stomach. I was almost unconscious. But she still didn't take pity. Even when I was drowned in a pool if my own blood. She didn't take mercy on me. She was doing right to her name Miana meaning merciless. She looked in my eyes for a second and then she opened the mouth of the cutter and cut my stomach. All my screams were cut short. The pain was unbearable. I lost my consciousness.

"Ha.....ha....ha" I woke up. I was sweating. My bed was wet and my clothes were also wet. I can't remember why I had such a dream. I looked at the clock. It was showing 2am. There was a knock on my door and it opened with a click. My father entered. I must have screamed in my dream. He was looking distressed. "My Precious! Are you alright?" His voice was heavy. It seems he had just woke up. "Baba I am scared" I said with tears staining my face.

"It's gonna be alright. My cupcake" He said hugging me. I don't know if I would ever feel safe other than his arms. I always felt that no matter what happened no matter how messy a situation becomes , he would hide me in his arms. He would hide me in his chest. " You can sleep now. I will be here. I will always be here" my dad said. At some point he had also come to my room. He caressed my face, tucking in few strands of my hair behind my ears.

"Somi, Can you tell me what you saw and why are you so scared?" Baba asked gently. I started having these nightmares about two months ago. And I can't remembered why I get so scared and what happens in the nightmare when I wake up. "No I can't remember baba" I said sobbing and feeling guilty for waking them up in the middle of the night. "You do know that we are always going to be with you no matter the situation. Right?" Dad says looking in my eyes as if to assure me. "Yeah" I said. A trace of smile appeared on my lips. Yes I do know that my parents are going to be with me through thick and thin. They will never leave me alone.

My Baba and Dad are married and have 6 children including me. I am the youngest of the Zoldyck family. Somi Vien Zoldyck. My Baba is Zeno Astralobe Zoldyck. And my dad is Leon Carvo Zoldyck. I have 5 elder brothers. The eldest being Sa'eer Vincento Zoldyck. My family loves me. I am the apple of my parents eye. In this world, Same gender couples are not uncommon but they can't give birth to Children to they have to either surrogate or try other means to bear children. But there is a catch. If you are mated which is extremely rare but if you are lucky enough to be mated like my parents then you can bear children even in the same gender couples. That is what happened in this case. Baba is from Zoldyck family which are world renowned assassins. And Dad is from the royal family of Brizialon. His mother is the queen.

Hence it makes me and my brothers rare specimens of a non typical mating. Why non typical? Well where else in the world you would see a marriage between an assassin and a prince. Baba is 6ft5' while Dad is 5ft9'.They make a pretty unique couple. And I love both of them. Same goes for them also. I am 5ft7' with ash colored hair and my skin is so white that people often take me for a vampire which I am not. I am a part-time assassin ignoring the fact that because my fees are so high no one asks me to kill for them. And my family wouldn't like that either so I'm like the baby of an assassin family. Hah talk about sarcasm.

Both my maternal and paternal grandparents love me equally which is not the case with my brothers. They like only one side and vive versa. Baba was looking at me and then slowly asked me to lie down and try to sleep. But I knew that sleep would not take mercy on me now. I still closed my eyes and tried to relax. Even though I couldn't remember what happened in my dream my body was tense and it hurt to move even a little bit. I tried to calm myself down. The soothing motion of Dad's hand in my hair also helped me relax.
