When I Was A Child, I Was Nothing…
Growing Up I Learned The Hard Way That Those Without Power Are Nothing, Not Even Viewed By Society As Human…
You're Worth In Life Is Determined By How Much Power You Possess…
When I Was Around Five Years Of Age, My Parents Where Low Class Civilians In Our Village, Constantly Ostracized By Those Who Had Immense Power And Wealth…
Then One Day, Me And My Parents Were Wandering Around The World In Order To Survive…
We Had No Choice But To Steal From Wealthy People In Order To Not Starve To Death…
One Day We Stumbled Upon A Big House And My Parents Who Were Frail And Weak, Sent Me Inside Of The House…
Mallory(Whispering): Ashe You're The Smallest So They Won't Catch You, You Need To Go In There And Take Whatever Food You Can Find!
Ashe(Whispering/Weakly): But What If They Catch Me? They'll Kill Me On The Spot!
Mallory(Reassuring): Nothing'll Happen If You Be As Quiet As Possible, Honey You Have To Do This. If You Don't Then We'll Starve!
At That Moment I Looked At My Mother In The Eyes And Thought To Myself, "I'll Do It For Momma, She Sacrificed A Lot For Me And I Won't Let Anything Bad Happen To Her Or Father…
So I Snuck Into The House By Jumping Through The Window…
The House Was Very Dark And I Couldn't Really See Much, But I Could Feel My Surroundings,,,
One Of The Room Doors Was Open So I Glanced Inside And Saw A Woman Lying Down On Her Bed Alone…
Then I Made My Way Slowly And Quietly To The Kitchen And Opened Their Fridge To See Many Different Types Of Foods, And I Coincidentally Found A Big Sack Hung Up On A Rack Next To The House Door…
I Grabbed Some Food And Put Them In The Sack, But Then I Felt A Malevolent Aura Right Next To Me…
Sweat Started Racing Down My Face As My Small Hands Began Trembling, My Breathing Picked Up As I Turned Around To See A Small Statue Of A Demonic Entity Just Sitting There…
I Got Startled And Let Out A Little Squeal As I Jumped Back And Knocked Over A Vase…
I Start Panicking As I Pick Up The Sack And Turn Around To Bump Into The Owner Of The Home…
Man(Angry): You've Got Some Nerve Stealing From Me You Little Dumbass!!!
I Try To Run But He Picks Me Up By My Collar And Throws Me Into A Table, The Table Broke And I Hit My Head On The Floor And Lost Consciousness…
30 Minutes Later I Wake Up To See Both My Mother And Father Tied Up With Tape On Their Mouths…
I Try To Go Straight To Them But Find Myself Tied Up In Ropes As Well…
Man(Coldly): Three Poor And Powerless Animals Try And Steal Food, From A Big House Like This One?!!
Man(Ominously): Goddamn, You All Smell Like Horseshit!
Man(Ominously): If You Want Food You've Gotta Pay Up! And Seeing How You Forced The Puppy Over There To Break In, It's Only Right That The Dogs Pay!!!
My Mother Who's Near Starved, Can't Help But To Give In…
Mallory(Shaking): What Do You Want?!
The Guy Slowly Walks Up To My Mother Each Footstep More Frightening Than The Last…
When He Reached Her, He Sat Her Up And Moved A Strand Of Her Hair Behind Her Ear…
My Mother Powerless To Do Anything Continues Shaking And Sweating Already Knowing What's Coming…
He Violated My Mother, Right In Front Of Me And My Father… My Father Didn't Even Try To Stop Him…
Not Even Showing Any Signs Of Fear Or Worry For His Own Wife!!!
I Start Shouting And Screaming At The Top Of My Lungs, Biting My Lips Until They Began To Bleed…
That Night Traumatized Me, I Stared At My Father Who Couldn't Even Bother To Look Our Way!!!
My Hatred For Him Started Right There, The Man Let Us Keep The Sack Of Food And Threw Us Out After He Had His Way With My Mother!!!
My Mother, Once We Got Out Didn't Say A Word…
Her Eyes Killed Of Any Light It Had Before We Got To That House, My Father Looked For Wood After We Sat Down Near A Campfire In The Woods…
And Me And Mother Just Sat Next To Each Other, The Silence Was Deafening…
I Looked At Her With A Sense Of Regret And Irrational Guilt.
Ashe(Pleading): Momma, I'm So Sorry. It's My Fault…
Ashe(Pleading): I Got Spooked And Knocked Over A Statue, Please Forgive Me!
Ashe(Pleading): I Promise I Won't Let Anything Bad Happen To You Again!
Mallory Looks At Ashe Eye To Eye, Her Lifeless And Soulless Eyes Meet His Sad And Regretful Eyes…
To Be Continued In Chapter Forty-Nine…
