Prologue
Understanding completely now what my life would be ending up like, is quite terrifying. However regardless of that I hate myself doubly for what I did to Danielle 5 years past. I however since the day we left the castle do not know how to begin describing my life with my mother after those days; only that a year after working for several different owners my mother married Le Piue, a vision to what I thought my eyes would never lay.
Again had my mother and I not only betrayed Danielle, but I should have known my own mother would eventually deceive me as well. Not a day a passes without a lash of some sort of abuse, and each day it's growing worse.
But yet I am not as lucky as others. I receive no comfort from anyone in the manor regarding my mother and Le Piue's hate. Fore they all know of the horrid I brought onto Danielle; and my mother somehow donated her wronging to me as well.
No matter how hard I try I cannot seem to let a day pass without doing something wrong. Today's punishment lies already in front of me. I've poured the wine all over Le Piue's white blouse.
"Damn you, you clumsy fool!" My mother screamed at me from across the table. But with tears of defeat I refused my mother's glare. Suddenly with all the mustered anger Le Piue contained he stood grabbing my hair and pulling it hard, as if I were a rag doll.
"100 lashes! And cut this stupid hair!" He ordered one of the guards. And that's when it all began. My escape… my fight for life… and my new hope.
