Cecelia walked home as fast as she could she placed the bag of gold coins on the table

and went to a nearby lake and cleaned herself she scrubbed her body from head to toes never in her whole life she felt so dirty she still couldn't believe she lowered herself to the level of a prostitute.

after bathing she went home ate something it was quiet Cecelia wondered where everyone was she checked the kitchen and living room but no one was there she heard something upstairs could it be an intruder? she thought.

Cecelia became alarmed and grabbed something to defend herself with and slowly went up to the stairs.

Her anxiousness became worse as she went up step by step. she reached to the door knob and opened it and rushed inside to strike who ever entered her room.

Cecelia gasped lowering her arm

it was Ariel going through her belongings opening her drawers taking things out

"Ariel... why are you packing my belongings? i thought i could stay if i agreed to help you". Cecelia said scared.

Ariel looked at her over her shoulder and continued with what she was doing.

"you don't have to leave im just looking through your stuff to see if i can sell some things im sure you don't mind giving your paint equipment away won't you"? Ariel said uncaring.

"But i love to paint you can't sell that! what am i supposed to do in my free time"?

"well find an new hobby" Ariel responded cold.

Cecelia felt that she could do nothing about it whatever Ariel says goes

Cecelia watched move to her nightstand placing a hand in her drawer and pulled Cecelia's musical box out putting it near the items she wanted to sell to the local pawn shop.

"No! please not my box you can have everything else but please not that"

"it's the only thing i have left of my father" she grabbed onto Ariel's shoulder trying to reason with her but her hand got brushed off.

Cecelia felt her anger grow she clenched her fists to her side she opened her mouth to say something but closed it she inhaled deep and out and loosened her hands

"just go to hell" Cecelia said almost whispering

"what did you just said"? Ariel said stern.

"I'm leaving i don't care what happens to me everything is better than living here with hollow things like you!

, "To be honest starving doesn't seem so bad at all". Cecelia said with tears brimming in her eyes.

she turned around and ran downstairs her stomach tensed up when she heard Ariel yelling to get back but she ignored it and unlocked the door

Lotus was about to come in and noticed Cecelia's tear-stained face.

"Cecelia what happened? where are you going"? Lotus said trying to stop her.

"I'm leaving this place forgood. "this is something i should have done years ago"

" Goodbye" Cecelia said.

"No wait!" Lotus said.

Cecelia disappeared in the Woods and it made Lotus heart break in pieces.

Ariel came behind her and ordered her and her sisters to go look for her immediately but karima and maja weren't worried at all they assured their mother that she wouldn't make an day on her own and will be back.

Both women started to mock Cecelia saying that she will beg to come back inside again.

But Cecelia didn't came back everyone was looking for her even Ariel they couldn't find her it became night Ariels daughters came back they told her she couldn't find her it was like she disappeared.

Ariel sighed and told them they can go to bed and tomorrow they continue their search but after searching for 2 days cecelia remained unfound.

ariel was devastated her worries about cecelia's safety kept her awake almost the whole night if something happens to her it's her fault and she had to live with that guilt for the rest of her life she placed a robe on and walked outside waiting for Cecelia but deep inside she knew she might never see her again.

Ariel placed a hand in her pocket and looked at cecelia's musical box she wanted to sell it but she couldn't do it anymore not only she feels bad for wanting to sell her most precious property but for all the time she treated her like filth and caused her so much pain.

cecelia didn't deserve that she was the perfect daughter innocent obidient multi talented everything a mother wants in a daughter if only she realised that sooner.

Cecelia calling her a hollow thing is something Ariel will never forget, if she would ever return Ariel would hold her and tell how proud she is of the woman Cecelia became.

"I'm sorry for all the things I did be safe my daughter"

"May the Gods protect you"

Cecelia pushed many people roughly aside as she walked outside her home village without looking back she never wanted to see them again she reached the end of the city she traveled for two days.

she was tired and thirst but didn't stop when the night came she didn't rest after hours she stopped walking she thought she heard rousing noises it sounds like streaming water the followed the sound and reached a long river.

she dug her head in the water she drank and got ou for air and drank more she clean her wound on her knee she had no idea how she got that maybe she got it from running trough those bushes they got some nasty thorns.

she rested a on the grass and wondered where she should be going she has no place to stay she didn't think that someone would be kindly enough to give her a place to stay she doesn't belive that there's kind-hearted people left in this world most people are selfish always putting themselves in the first place.

they only care about their own needs.

their greedy,they even steal from their friends without feeling any remorse not because they need it only for their own selfish desires or because their jealous of you.

she never felt comfortable being around humans because she was always afraid that they will say something nasty to her she could still remember that when she was little children alway use to throw rocks at her when she was send to the well to fetch some water.

"Even pigs treat eachother better than humans" cecelia said angry.

i can't believe she took my musical box and i did nothing to stop her im such a wept resting her face on her knees. "But atleast If free now" Cecelia said to herself looking up again.

Cecelia brushed a tear away when the sun shined a bit brightly. "I'm going to find them Father,I sense your spirit inside me"..I hope I will join you one day after I lived for a couple of years in Elf land"

she stayed for a few hours she watched the little birds making a nest and the butterflies drinking honey and the humming birds flying around it made her mind calm a bit she could forget her troubles cecelia looked at the clouds and inhaled deeply she almost fell asleep but suddenly she felt a arm wrapped around her

she looked up and saw a man.

"hello cutie where you from"?

"unhand me" she yelled and slapped his hand off her shoulder

"come on now girl don't you wanna have a little fun?" the man said trying to seduce her

she could smell the alcohol off him and she didn't like his presence one bit

"just go away human"! Cecelia said and stood up

the human grabbed her butt and Cecelia turned around and hit him very hard in the face with A backhand. "You savage! Cecelia said. "Get lost and find yourself a Prostitute!

The man became angry and grabbed her cecelia began to hit him with balled fists let me go you sick bastard!

she punched him against his nose but he grabbed her hands so that she was unable to defend herself and pushed her on the ground and pulled her dress up.

cecelia began to panic she screamed and hoped someone will hear her and someone did hear her plea Cecelia closed her eyes the pain was too much to handle before her vision went blank.

She heard the man scream in agony after a few minutes she gained her conscious back her vision was still blurry she wondered what the hell has happened.

Cecelia clasped her hand over her mouth when she saw that her attacker was brutally murdered she saw that the man's head was cut off and had a sword through his stomach.

Cecelia felt she was going to throw up she looked up and caught sight of something red she narrowed her eyes and looked closer.

She saw someone standing in the shade and felt her stomach sink in fear,

This could be the end for her, She wished she could make her move and grab that sword to make a final attempt to defend herself with all the strength she has left but was unable to get up.

The man stepped into the light,walked towards the corpse and pulled his sword out.

it was a very tall man he has blond hair and golden-brown eyes he looked at her and cecelia started trembling with fear.

the man spoke to her with a calm yet powerful voice.

"Don't be frightened dear woman"

"i shall do you no harm"
