Nobody Cares

That morning, Tori woke up to a bright sun, shining freely in her face. "Ughhhh… stupid sun," Tori groaned while getting out of bed.

The six year old, black haired, blue eyed girl got up and went to the bathroom to realize she slept with her training cloths on. The cloths had blood and burns on them from battling with her father, yesterday

She slowly took them off as the fabric brushed against her cuts and got in the bath tub. She cringed as she got in the tub and the hot water washed over her cuts. She soon relaxed and started washing her hair and body.

When she was done, she quickly got dressed and walked out of the bathroom. She was headed towards the door when she remembered she was locked in so she went to her window and gazed out to see all the smoke and people walking below.

This was not the place she wanted to grow up in. She didn't want to hate or kill and certainly did not want to deal with her curse. When she thought of her curse, her face became pained. The thought of having a dragon spirit inside of her always made her cringe in fear, but she knew she could never get rid of it for it was her destiny, her curse to have the dragon spirit, Kin inside of her. The dragon spirits are always passed on generation after generation to the dragon princess or prince. It was to be a gift to most people in the nation, but to Tori all it is, is a curse, a cruel punishment for her.

Tori was still in deep thought about it when the door opened. Tori heard the creak of the door and quickly turned around to see her servant, Gin, standing in the doorway with tears rolling down her pale cheeks. Tori looked at Gin questionably.

"My dear," Gin started, choking down her tears, "Your mother was murdered last night." Tori went pale, and it felt like her heart went to her stomach. She stayed frozen for a few moments when she quickly looked at the servant.

"Who killed her," Tori questioned with anger. Gin looked at Tori a little scared at what she might do. "I don't know," Gin stated. Tori got up and started to run out of the room. "No one knows," Gin yelled at Tori who was running towards her fathers throne.

'This can't be happening! I know it can't be!' Tori thought as she ran through the halls. Tori finally reached her father, and stopped right at the steps of her father's throne.

"Is it true," Tori asked breathlessly. Raidon just looked at her with emotionless eyes. "Is it true that mother is dead," Tori yelled while tears poured out of her eyes.

"Yes," Raidon quietly said. Tori cried even harder. "No," Tori whispered to herself. She closed her eyes to try and make the tears stop, but that didn't stop one tear drop from sliding down her cheek.

"Yes," Raidon said again, "And it should've been you." Tori looked up quickly, shocked at what he had said. "You should've been the one to die, you are worthless and a failure." Raidon yelled.

Tori couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her father wanted her dead. 'Why does nobody care' Tori thought. She looked up at her father. "Father, I……" Tori started, but was interrupted by her father's bellowing voice. "Get out of my site." Raidon turned around and sat on his throne.

Tori was heartbroken. The people she loved the most were gone. Her father wants her dead and her mother murdered. She just wanted someone to be there for her. While in thought, Tori felt a hand on her shoulder.

She quickly turned around and saw Gin. "Come on, Tori," Gin softly told her. Tori nodded and walked out of the throne room to her bedroom.

As they were walking down the hall, something caught Tori's eye. Her mother's door was slightly open and while she walked by she saw burn marks on the walls. Tori gasped, "Mom!"

She quickly turned around and ran towards her mother's door. "Tori, wait," Gin yelled at Tori. She didn't listen and she opened the door to see the most horrific thing.

The chairs were scattered and broken. The floor, bed, and walls were covered in blood. Every single wall had fire marks on them and the bed was broken almost in half. The windows were shattered and the table beside it was in two. The crystal chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling was now on the floor shattered into pieces.

Tori was overwhelmed with fear, anger, sadness, to many emotions. She couldn't hold it in anymore, she suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs while falling on her knees as if in pain. She clutched her tear stained face with her hands, sobbing into them.

Her servant ran in and stared at the broken room. She then saw Tori crying on the floor. She quickly ran over to her and hugged her to assure her everything was going to be ok, but Tori felt like it was the end of her life.

"Tori, it will be ok," Gin said trying to make her feel better, "I will be here for you." Tori looked up at her servant with tears flowing freely down her cheeks. "Thank you, Gin," Tori managed to get out of sore throat. Gin looked into the girls sparkly blue eyes and could only hug her even tighter.

The servant then picked Tori up and took her to her room. The servant gently laid Tori down in her bed. As Gin was covering up Tori, Tori couldn't help but ask the one question that was bothering her. "Why would they kill my mother," Tori asked softly.

Gin stopped and looked at Tori. "When you find the person who killed her," Gin stopped and looked down, "Ask them that question." Gin got up slowly and walked towards the door. It was only 4 p.m. but Gin thought it was best for Tori to rest her mind.

"Get some sleep. You have been through a rough day," Gin said before walking out and closing the door. Tori nodded and soon fell asleep.

Tori sat up and looked out the window, it was about 12 a.m. Tori soon remembered everything that happened and looked at the entrance door. "I'm sorry, Gin," Tori whispered, "But I cannot stay here."

She quickly got up and got a bag out of her wardrobe and started packing her cloths, blankets, and anything she would need to keep her alive. One thing in particular, was her twin swords her grandfather gave her that year for her birthday. She studied the swords and quickly put them in there holders to strap them on her back.

She quickly tied her sheets together to make a rope down the outside wall. She then grabbed her bag and threw it over her back. Just when she was about to climb onto the rope she looked over her shoulder to look at her room one more time. Tears formed in her eyes but she was quick to wipe them away. "Goodbye," Tori whispered to the empty, dark room.

She soon climbed down from the rope and jumped off onto the rock ally way. She quickly ran towards the secret passage way out of the palaces and slide in when she suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She quickly turned around to find Gin looking down at her.

"Gin," Tori said franticly, "Look I can explain." "There is no need to," Gin said. Suddenly, Gin embraced Tori with a tight hug. "Go and find your way to where you want to be," Gin said while letting go. Tori smiled, "Thank you, Gin. Maybe someday we will meet again." Gin smiled, "Goodbye." Gin then slowly closed the pathways door and went back inside the palace.
