Pain, pain, go away. Don't come back another day.
My family has turned the saying from Rain to Pain, because I had been injuring myself often. In the past, I would be running around the manor with my cousin Elizabeth, and I would always trip and scratch myself. My mother would run up to me and sing the little tune, and the pain almost instantly went away. I almost had wished that someone could have sung to me that tune while I was captured and branded, or trapped in a cage all alone.
~(*o*)~
On my tenth birthday, December 14th, I was celebrating it with my parents at the manor. Auntie Angela was supposedly coming to visit as well. I was to be eating cake, and was laying in bed besides my mother and father. I had fallen out of bed, and had twisted my hand. Mother had picked me up, and sang me the little song once more.
Pain, pain, go away. Don't come back another day.
And that was when the fire started.
Heat blazed throughout the manor. Mother pushed me out of the room, and told me to find Old Man Tanaka. I ran as fast as I could through the halls, praying to myself that my family would be alright. As I stumbled about, I thought I had seen my dog Sebastian laying in a hallway that I had just run right past. I turned around and went back, running to my sleeping dog.
"Sebastian! Is that you?" I cried out, kneeling besides him. When I stroked his fur, red paint stained my hands. The stench coming from my dog was awful. And I could have sworn that I saw a tear leak from my pet's eye. I got up and ran away, afraid.
"Anyone! Is anyone there?!" I shrieked. "Mother! Father! Where are you?!" I ran down the stairs, and flaming debris fell in my path. The only way I could escape was turning around, or else I would be burned by flames. As I ran as fast as my legs could take me, I saw Tanaka backing up against a wall. "Tanaka-san!" I shouted running towards him with my arms outstretched.
"Young Master!" Tanaka yelled, facing towards me with a hand out to stop me. "You mustn't come this way-," He fell over, coughing out the color red. I flinched as I saw a man in a black cape standing behind the fallen Tanaka.
"Ah!" The man gasped, pointing at me. "Him! There he is! Hurry!"
I whimpered, and started to step backwards slowly. "W-who are y-you?" I stuttered, afraid of them because I didn't know them.
"Come here, and we won't hurt you," The man said tried to convince me. I shook my head wildly, and started to turn around. I felt a hard whap at the base of my neck, and the last thing before I fell unconscious, was the tune that Mother had sung for me earlier.
Pain, pain, go away. Don't come back another day.
If only it could.
