POV Shizuru

"Do you know who am I?" I spat furiously and afraid to that stranger. She touched me even she knew the tragic consequence. I still felt the warm… It shocked me… never someone dared to touch me or watched, even my own parents. I felt my burning and hurt hand. I never slapped someone before. And I disliked it. I did not know if she was brave or stupid like the other maid. I could not see her reaction, but I can read her emotion. Physically I was blind but not my spirit and ears. Why did not she run away? I felt she was here, and did not move. I did not know if she was trying to pay a game with me, but I won't let that happen.

"I am sorry if I hurt. And… Yes?" I frowned and I was surprised. She apologized when I was the one to hurt her? She did not hear about me and my condition? That was impossible. Everybody in the castle knew who I am, the curse child that only brought misery and death. I was cast aside so nobody could see me, except some who steal me like the other one, or throw food in front of my door and never entered. They all imagined that because I am weak and I am wearing a blindfold that I was a fool. It was not the case; I was very wise and perceptive about other's real intentions. I could hear their harsh words about me. Why a monster liked me to be alive? How many times I will be here before dying? That my parents are ill-fated. I am nothing but a pain.

"Really? Who?" I insisted. I was fed up with everything, perhaps they were all right. Why I was born?

"My…err… master?" I laughed. Not of fun but suffering. Master? It was the first. Miss Maria only called me Lady Shizuru, but I knew deep inside, I was a bother for her. Sometimes she came here to see if I am still breathing and she told my parents. She only said the same words. "Hello, how are you, do you need something, goodbye." She did not care if I really want something. It was only an ungrateful task to accomplish, and the faster she did it, and then she can leave.

That girl… did she really respect me to be my servant? No, it was just a way to escape from my cursed. To not make me angry.

"I am your master? Me?"

"Yes." She answered more firmly. I felt a cold wind and warm entering inside my cavern. I shivered.

"What are you doing!" I snapped, I tried to hide under my blanket. I could not bear the sun light.

"I open the curtain and window. You can't live all your life in the dark. It's good to be free and not to imprison yourself here. Also, there are a lot of dust and spider webs. The air outside is very good. You should enjoy it more, it's so beautiful." I bitterly laughed. She did not realize her words. Her coarse voice annoyed me.

"It's not your problem! Leave! Or I will make you go forever!" I growled exhausted, I did not have enough strength to bear a conversation, my condition was not good. My body was so weak and tired. I heard she finally left and I rolled into a ball inside my blanket.

I knew it. She was like others. What did I expect? Nothing.

Few minutes later, I heard persistent footsteps. Who was it again? What's going on today? I never had so many visitors in a year.

"Sorry. I will be more careful this time." It was her again? What she was doing? Again, she lifted me from my blankets to her warm body, I was petrified, did she have a death wish?

"What? How dare you to touch me again! You should know your position! Let me go! Let me go!" I screamed like a crazy person; I scratched everything that was around me. I heard a whimper of pain, it did not stop me, and she put me safely to something comfy and warm. It was the couch.

"What are you doing?"

"I am doing my job." She truthfully answered. And I did not know what she means. What was her job? To kill me? To annoy me? To monitor me?

She put on new blankets, not the one who wear my smelly perfume that was never wash, but a new one who smell very good. I could not help but enjoyed sensation. It was soft, warm with good smell. Prideful and suspicious, I throw on the floor the blanket. I regretted I felt cold. She probably noticed I was uncomfortable; she rolled all the blanket around me and I was defeated. I could not fight back, I only wanted to sleep. And I did.
