Irene Belserion was a young woman who was a single mother for a 7 year old girl named Erza.
For most of Irene's life she had grown up in fear of people. First it was her parents who constantly insulted her and would abuse her in any way they could. Then it was her ex that did the same to her.
In the start he thought he loved her but to Irene she only saw that he was lusting after her. It got to the point that he raped her after kidnapping her. Not long after that Irene ran away from her past life and gave birth to her daughter Erza. For seven years Irene did all she could to keep her only daughter that she cherished safe. She was afraid of what would happen if anyone tried to harm her daughter, she didn't want her daughter to grow up in fear like she did.
Erza on the other hand was a happy child that always smiled. She would always want her mother next to her no matter what sometimes at night Erza would silently go into her mother's room and would hear her mother silently crying herself to sleep. It would hurt Erza to watch but Erza would always climb into the bed with her mother who would briefly wake up and hug her then they would both go back to sleep.
One night Irene was putting Erza to bed and was laying in the bed with her.
"Erza, is something on your mind?"
Erza looked up at her mother.
"Are we moving again?"
Irene nodded.
"Yes, but this time we're moving into a bigger house. Just the two of us."
Erza smiled but then her smile went away which made Irene wonder something.
"What's wrong, sweetie?"
Erza looked at her.
"We're always moving, can't we stay in one place?"
Irene's eyes saddened. It was true, they were always moving but for Irene case it was because there were always people around. Now that she was a mother she didn't want to risk anything.
"I'm sorry that we moved so much but this time I promise that we won't move, deal?"
Erza smiled then nodded. Irene smiled then kissed her daughter on the forehead. Irene climbed into the bed and held Erza's small form to her.
"Sleep well, Erza."
With that they were both fast asleep.
The next day
Irene and Erza were both on the road to their new home. The drive was rather quiet and peaceful but Irene was mainly happy not to have anything to worry about.
After a few more hours they arrive to their new home. Irene was happy to see that their new home was big but it was bigger than she thought it would be.
Their new home is a two story house with an attic. Irene pulled up into the garage and carried the sleeping Erza to her room.
The first thing about the inside of the house that Irene noticed was that the house was cleaned as if it was brand new and that no one had used it. There were also decorations in the house but Irene assumed that maybe the person who sold her the home wanted her to feel welcomed.
She carried Erza to the master bedroom then she began to unpack everything from their car into the house.
When she was done Irene saw that it was getting late but then something outside caught her eye.
A dark figure was walking alone in the street. They weren't coming to the house but instead they went past the house and went further away.
Irene figured that it was someone who lived in the area then she went upstairs to the room to sleep with Erza.
As she went to her room she recalled that the person who sold her the house mentioned that there was one other house that wasn't too far from theirs but the person who lived there rarely came out. Irene didn't mind, it was just one person, had it been a group then she would worry but for now she had to keep her promise to Erza to stay in one home, at least for a long time.
When she got to her room she climbed onto the bed and held Erza to her.
"Welcome to our new home sweet home, Erza."
Erza moved in her sleep then Irene went to bed as well.
