!SEXUAL AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
READER DISCRETION ADVISED!
What…the hell just happened. His head…it just…blew up? That wasn't me right. I'll admit I may have been a bit angry…but I doubt that was me. I don't think that was me atleast…
"ALBERT!!!"
There was a look of unsettledness on Arthur's face. He wasn't sure whether to be happy and relieved, or a bit, sad, for Serena.
Arthur tried to shake off this feeling by trying to justify it.
It was either him or us. Yes. That's right. If he didn't die, we would-
Arthur couldn't stand it. Each time he looked at the sight before him, all he saw was him, dead in Ana's lap, and Ana in complete despair.
This was the first time Arthur had ever felt like this. He hated all of his former classmates. He felt not a hint of sadness after killing Sena and Tiana.
Hey Arthur
That voice. I thought I told you to be gone.
Yes yes but don't you find it…strange?
What?
DON'T LISTEN TO HIM ARTHUR
I mean you just met this Ana girl and you already have such a strong connection to her. It's even gotten to where it's clouding your judgment. You shouldn't feel any sadness toward these people. They betrayed you after all.
STOP THIS! YOU'RE FILLING HIS HEAD WITH DEMORALIZING THOUGHTS!
Quiet you. You've told nothing but lies to my dear friend Arthur. Not only that, but you've also withheld truths too.
YOU ARE FORBIDDEN FROM SHARING THAT SET OF INFORMATION! ESPECIALLY TO THE HEROES!
What are yall talking about? Truths? Lies?
The being smiled once more.
See. Arthur is curious and wants to know. As a reward for killing the guy, I'll share one with y-
That is enough. Exterminating current transmutual link.
*Tsk* The system. Well goodbye for now Arthur. Make me proud…
The voice faded.
What was that about. And before he went out he said "the system". Those beings were already so much more powerful than me that they could freely enter in and out of my mind. And there's being even stronger than them? I have way too many questions.
Arthur was lost in thought.
"You…"
Shit! I forgot about her.
"Listen Serena, you can't possibly believe that I was responsible for that. I mean I would've just of done that from the start if I cou-"
"HUSH! My Albert is dead now. It's your fault."
Serena was filled with anger and hatred toward Arthur.
*Flashback*
When I was younger. I got bullied. My father was a well known drug lord. Very successful in it too. He had many ties, many, connections. So they were never able to legally prove that he sold drugs. But everyone around me knew. The looks they gave me, it was, unbearable.
"Get away from me! I don't want to be seen with someone like you!"
They all said about the same thing
"I heard her father just recently killed someone."
"Oh my goodness that is terrible. Why would they even allow the daughter of someone like that to attend here. What if she picks up on his habits."
Even the teachers at my school talked bad about me. They tried to look like they were being secretive about it…but they knew I could here them.
My home life was no better. That "man" was never home for his family nor did he ever send anything to help us out. So my mom struggled. I loved my mother very much. She was always so kind and gentle with me. She worked hard day and night just to support a living for the 2 of us.
"Ow!"
"Oh sweetie what happened."
"I cut my finger trying to cut the apple."
The young child made a sad face as if she were about to cry.
"Hmmmhmmmmhmmmhm"
The mother began humming. It was a soft, gentle melody that gave relievance to the young girl. Her face suddenly changed and her cut, it bothered her no more.
The girl giggled and tried to hum it with her mother.
"Mommy what is the sound, I like it very very much!"
"It's music sweetie. My mother used to hum it to me when I was younger."
I loved my mother very much. But of course all good things come to an end. See that "man" was rarely around, but when he was, it was dreadful.
*Smack!*
"You stupid fucking bitch! I asked you to do one thing for me. And you managed to fuck it up!"
"I-I'm sorry."
The mother layed on the floor with her arms up trying to deflect at least some of the hits coming at her. She cried every hit he struck her with. He grew with anger, his punches grew with power.
And I had to sit and watch the whole thing occur before my eyes. I didn't know what to do so I began crying as well.
"Please stop it!" The girl cried out.
But he didn't listen to me.
He just kept hitting the mother.
If he didn't stop, he was going to kill my mother.
So the girl got in front of one of the punches.
*Bam!*
Just one of those punches and I was nearly unconscious. And yet my mother had to endure countless numbers of them.
"SERENA DEAR!"
The mother tried to rush to the girls side but he didn't let her.
"You stay right there! I'm not done with you yet! She shouldn't have done that, it's her fault!"
He continued to hit my mother I tried to reach out to her but I eventually fell unconscious.
…
When I woke up it was the next day, that "man" and my mother were both gone. I wasn't sure what to do. My mother was the only one I could trust. I had no one but her.
I began to wander the streets. I didn't know what was real or fake anymore. Eventually the police found me. They took me to their station asked me questions, trying to be as nice and patient with me as possible. Then they did a background check. Found out my relationship with that "man"…and they threw me back out onto the street. They gave me that look that everyone always gives me. A look of disgust.
Not knowing what to do, I went back to school. And began to go back to my normal life.
Grouped laughter "Hahhaha!"
"Look at the way she squirms!"
More group laughter
"S-Stop p-please." The girl said in a quiet and scared tone.
"What was that?"
"She wants us to stop!"
More grouped laughter
"What about the people your little daddy killed huh? Did he stop when they asked."
"I-I'm not like him."
"Yeah yeah sure you're not. We know you're evil, and my mom said the evil should be punished."
They would usually do little things to me. Things like name calling or maybe taking my lunch. Sometimes they would physically bully me but it was never something that wasn't bearable. Today however…today was different."
"And I know just the thing to punish evil."
The 4 boys then smiled devilishly. This was the first time where I was actually scared as to what they were going to do to me.
"Just remember man, we want our share once your done."
"Yeah yeah I'll remember."
"W-What are you going to do to me."
He grinned again. His evil smile, I remember it even now.
"So glad you asked."
The boy then signaled to the others.
They forced me to the ground and held me down. Bastard then began undoing his pants. At the time I didn't know what he was going to do, but there was that feeling that whatever was going to happen, I should fear it. So I screamed.
"Shut her up quick!"
They gagged my mouth with a sock so I couldn't scream. I cried and cried but it was no use. It hurt so much.
…
I lost my virginity on that day.
…
I stood on the edge of that building ready to end it all. At the age of just 10…I was ready to die.
