Sanctuary
…
Every breath tore through his throat, eliciting waves of pain as if he was breathing in acid. Blindly crying out he begged for the pain to stop, but she wouldn't listen.
"It's all your fault. You're just like him. I've done everything for you and this is my reward, you pathetic excuse for a son!"
"I'm sorry mother, I'm sorry! Please… I'm so sorry… please stop!" streams of tears mixed with crimson dripped form his delicate face as he begged for his mother to stop.
"No. I won't stop until you're broken! I won't stop until you can feel the pain and the misery I went through for you!" she shrieked.
At this the youth became silent. He thought to himself, "She's right. This is a sin that I must atone for. She can break me… I deserve this and so much more…"
He bit his lips to stop himself from crying out as his mother began mercilessly beating him. Hitting him with anything and everything that was with in her reach. Blood dripped from his abused lips, having bitten down too hard to stop himself from screaming. Everything hurt. His body, his mind, his soul… everything. But what hurt him the most was that he was unwanted… first from his father, then from his mother. No one wanted him. As he closed his eyes he surrendered himself to the comforting darkness. His sanctuary. His sweet oblivion.
…
It was morning and the sun gently caressed the brunette. Healing his wounds simply through the warmth of her touch. The zephyrs kindly embraced the fragile boy, slowly bringing the youth to awareness as they breathed to him words of comfort. Promising him that the pain gone. Nothing but a fragment of the past. Sora slowly opened his eyes. Thankful that the gentle glow of the sun was not too bright. He began to sit up, but his body screamed in protest, remembering too well the abuse it had experienced. Memories of last night came crashing down, refusing to soften their blow as they allowed Sora to remember in crystal clarity the pure hatred and the desperate wanting... A whirlwind of emotion erupted as a broken sob escaped his lips. His body wracked in agony as a single voice rang through his mind. "You pathetic excuse for a son!!"
"I'm such a failure." Tears rained down, but he refused to pity himself. As he slowly wiped away his sorrow, he tried yet again to sit up. This time his body cooperated despite the sheer pain that reminded him of his weakness. Sora slowly stood up and walked over to the bathroom. At the moment, wanting nothing more than to wash away the tears and the blood that stained his soul. He turned on the water and carefully began to strip off his clothes, not wanting to irritate his fresh wounds. He then slowly entered the bath. The warm water immediately put him at ease as it washed away the pain and for a brief moment, the unwanted memories.
