~*-Prologue-*~
No one would have believed me anyways. No one ever did...
Every time I cry for help.
Every time I needed someone. They would always face apart from my shattered self.
I can feel myself breaking away. I can now see what defies a human.
Betrayal. Hurt. Lost. Greed...
Greed is what sets people off. For their selfish needs. Even I have greed. But my need in greed could never be helped. Instead, I was used as someone else's
guide for their fulfilled need.
Greed is what defies a human...
My mother and I were a the same market we had always went to. Every year we would go here. Every year my mother would by me a present to celebrate my birthday. It was always my choice.
This year I was turning 10. It was going to be a great day I just new it! It had to be...
Mom promised.
"See anything you like sweetie?" My mom asked as she held my hand and looked down on me. She had her same fixed smile she always had. The pleasant smile that made me feel safe. As if nothing would ever happen.
I was quite short for my age. To the point that it even made my hair look longer than what it actually was. I twirled my curly brown hair in my fingers as I look back up at her. Then I just shook my head. I stared up at her large blue eyes that just seemed to sparkle at me. It was a calming feature. Always so pretty. Her hair was blonde, as she wore a purple laced dress with a matching hat, with the same design of the dress.
"I don't see anything... What if I can't find anything at all!" I say with a worried expression on my face. My eyes teared up at the very thought of not being able to get any presents. I've never gone without a new gift, what If I would never get another because they thought I couldn't handle the pressure of choosing? "Don't worry dear I'm sure you will find something. Now go run along dear, I'll be right here if you need me. Go on have fun! It's your birthday after all." She told me with a smile. Oh but please don't wander off too far. Stay were I can see you!" She finished calling off to me. But I had already left.
In the cheerful spree I wander off looking for a new toy. Just then I wasn't really looking were I was walking, just caught up up the joy.
I bumped into a large man and stumble back. I fell flat down onto the cold surface of snow. I look up with fear at a large man holding hands with another woman. She sort of reminded me of my mom, but her eyes were way off. The man had jet black hair with a blue-ish tint to it. "I'm terribly sorry for that. Allow me." He told my letting go of his wife's hand to help me up. I stare at it with wide eyes for a few seconds as I took his hand and he helped me up.
He then twinned his hand back with his wife's and looked at me. Just in the corner of himself was a boy, who was slightly taller than me, but seemed to be the same age. He hid behind his father, and didn't dare show too much of himself.
"It's my bad, I'm sorry mister .Truly I am." I say quietly staring down at the floor. "Might I ask were your parents are?" He asked my with a smile on his face.
"My mommy is over there." I then said shyly as I pointed at the bench my mother was sitting at. She stared at me for a few seconds as she walked over to me and pulled me away from the family. "I'm sorry for my daughters fault. Please forgive her reckless behavior She added in her pretty smile that always made me feel better.
"Its quite alright, don't mind it too much. Well we best be off. We have important business to attend to." He said pulling down his hat slightly and walking off with his family aside from him.
My mother then looked at me her smile turning into a slight frown. "You have to be more careful next time you hear me? We don't want to be bothering people like that."
"I'm sorry mommy..." I say looking at the snow white ground. Her smile then returned and made me felt instantly better at the thought.
"Now. Let's get you that present dear." "Okay!" I say with my smile returning as well.
After a while of looking I finally found it. The thing that would make my birthday perfect.
It was nothing more of just a mere golden heart necklace, which had seemed to open. My eyes glistened as I stared at it's shine. "Mommy I want this." I looked up at her with hopeful eyes. "Why of course dear. " She told me her smile bearing down on me.
The went to the owner and paid for the necklace. She then placed it around my neck and smiled. "I have just the thing. " She the said pulling out a picture she always kept around for good luck. She then looked around and grabbed a pair of scissors and placed 3 pounds on the place were it way before. She cut the picture into a sort of heart shape and placed it inside of the locket.
"There... Now you always have us in your heart." I couldn't held but smiling and throwing out a cheerful laugh. I was happy.
Back at home, I was staring at a large cake placed on the table. My mouth opened in shock as my stomach rumbled. My father had urged me to the table to blow out the one candle on delicately made cake.
It was a party for myself but not very many people were there. It was really just my family. My mother, my father, a few servants, and myself.
After I finished eating, my father gave my another present. It was a ring. The ring had the family crest place onto it. It was much to large for my ring finger, so he had to slide it onto my thumb. The crest was on the side of the ring rather than middle. The top of the ring was a ruby. It sparkled and made me look at it in awe.
My mother and father than both hugged me and told me they loved me. Then they told me that one day I would turn out to be a wonderful woman.
At last, it was the time of my bedtime. My mother stood up and read my bedtime stories until I fell asleep. It was so calm.
I awoke to hear foot steps outside of my door as well as whispering. Then I heard my door creek open, as they walked inside of my room. I didn't see anything but they really looked like shadows.
The whispering shadows walked closer to me when I shut my eyes quickly.
The stopped at the side of my bed. Then they harshly yanked my cover off and dragged my off of the my bed.
Mommy, daddy, I'm scared... I thought to myself as my eyes widened. They then put a rag on my mouth before I could scream for help. The room began to swirl as it was hard to stay awake. I lost all of my thoughts and worries and fell asleep.
