It all began when I turned 8 years old, at first I did not know what was going on because it happen so fast I could realize what my fate will be..
I was always a quiet kid, I hardly ever spoke even my parents once told me that from birth I never cried. My parents were afraid of me because they knew when I turned 5 years old, they fates will be sealed.
Between the ages of 2 to 4 I was always mocked, teased, called names even treated me like I was trash because of my parents even though they did the same when I was in the house, it's like they never cared about me, they don't look happy or in love with eachother, they were disgusted by me.
When I turned 8 my fate changed. Men dressed in white came rushing in the house, so fast I couldn't see them probably, I only saw climpses of their shadows. They came to me and covered me with cloth enabling me not able to see, they carried me in they arms and left, I had my parents cry out loud when they arrived, they didn't care about me 'typical' I thought to myself.
It was time for my parents to kill themselves, the clan called it harugagure[1].I watched them looking at me with fearful and pleading eyes as tears dripping from them 'how pitiful' I said, I just watched as they were given the poisoned[2] knives and stabbed themselves. This was done so that they don't become demons, as if I knew why.
For the first time In years , I was happy, the next day I was taken to the chief's household, it was the beginning but I was smiling, happier than anything.
[1] harugagure/ noble sacrifice = in the clan for those who didn't perform, accomplish anything or even gave up where forced to kill themselves after giving birth and raising the child too 8 years old
[2] poisoned knives = these knives carried lethal poison called inkro which burns the insides within seconds, completely destroying your organs, it kills within 5 minutes after tormenting pain, it was used by the Clan because of their lineage.
Please support me guys, It's my first time writing
