"They beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead." Candle said waking up in the darkness. -(two years later)-
Her little spiritualized controlled doll gently snuggling her as she held onto it smiling then she heard footsteps and the doll quickly ran back too its hiding place. Her mother came back down in the morning and threw a heavy sand bag ontop of her and opened the door wide for her.
"Its six... get to work now!" she yelled growling at her. Candle did as she was told walking up the stairs and into her mothers mansion.
Her mother became wealthy by many sick ways. Candle was guided to the backyard putting up sand against the building even though their was no use for it, her mother actually kept making her do it for no reason and with the same sand bag. When she placed it down and turned around her mother was there and slapped her across her face hard.
"You was too slow!" Her mother shouted and punched her in the gut grabbing her and throwing her into the house again and then kicked her foot into Candles back breaking her ribs a little.
"Get down to the dungeon now you annoying little snatch!" She said as Candle weakly crawled away.
Aster getting mad she didn't go faster she grabbed her by her hair and threw her down the stairs making Candle hit her head bleeding.
Candle went to her corner and her doll came up wiping her head from the blood.
"Its okay..." Candle said as the Doll still unable to speak just shook its head and hugged Candles leg.
Then footsteps came closer down the stairs and the doll again disappeared.
"Its time for your stupid school session, as if you need it." Her mother said grabbing Candle by her hair and dragging her too the door but then opened the front door and kicked her out.
Candle stood up and walked to the edge of the road waiting for the bus to come. As it did she went in acting normal yet, as always... quiet. all the other kids just yelled cheered but she always went to the back of the bus without a word from her. She did her school work and when she got done she went home which was typical for her.
She never spoke of what she goes through as her mother threatened her life if she ever did.
Only one time the maid was going to the police, and Aster beat the maid to near death and gave Candle the knife to kill the maid or Candle would die instead. The maid begged Candle to do it to save her own life, to which Candle did regardless. Candle went back home and her mother kicked her in the groin and then smashed her face into the wall.
"You little shit! What did I tell you about walking in with your shoes on! The carpets were clean a week ago you little fucking bitch!" She pulled Candle to the kitchen and forced candles face on the hot skillet making her face burn.
Candle screamed in agony and after a minute Aster pulled Candles face off showing burn scorch marks on her face. Yet that wasn't all the scars she received, many many scars are over Candles body yet have over healed and scabbed over even by scalding her head with boiling water. Candles mother threw her down to the basement and locked it up yelling at her.
"You get nothing to eat for three days! or any water! Drink the moldy walls." Aster laughed walking up stairs.
Candle sighed doing so to get water licking the wet walls of mold. The little doll came up and hugged her again and she hugged it back and laid down on the dirt floor.
"Tomorrow will be better I pray." She said.
