"Heal what has been hurt, Change the fates design. Save what has been lost, Bring back what once was mine, What once was mine."

No, I wasn't singing to heal all the cuts and bruises Mother gave me. I was singing to heal my broken heart. I hated that stupid song. It was the song I sang every day to her.

Yet, there I was singing it to comfort myself. Maybe because it was the song that saved Eugene.

It made me think of him. That's all I did. All I could do really. I was so alone.

Where was Pascal? Was he with Eugene? How was Eugene? Had he escaped those chains yet? Of course he had. He was a thief. I wonder if he's thinking of me?

I heard the horrible clanking of those stairs again. She came down. It had been what seemed like days since I'd seen her. That meant it had been days since I sang to her. Except this time she brought me food. I didn't remember the last time I'd eaten. Or slept for that matter. I couldn't even tell how many days had gone by.

She made me sing that song to her again. This time I sang it with no emotion just coldly. She didn't seem to care though. All she really cared about was her youth. I bet the only reason she brought me food was so she wouldn't lose her precious flower.

"What a good girl," Gothel cooed as she patted me on the head. "Now clean this room up. It's filthy." She threw me a rag and then freed me from my chains for the first time.

She didn't say anything else as she left. As soon as I heard the door shut I stood up rather excited that I could finally be free of those chains. I fell over as soon as I stood. I was so weak I thought I heard something crack as I fell down.

I looked at my bland piece of bread and began to eat it. I knew I had to or else she would hurt me again. I couldn't handle it. Seeing the pleasure in her eyes as she heard my cries begging her to stop. Besides I promised, and when I promise something I never ever break that promise, ever.

I found myself humming a little tune mindlessly while cleaning. I didn't think anything of it until I realized I was singing "I See The Light." With that I once again broke down. Thinking of how in that one moment under the lanterns everything was perfect. But then that moment ended. I thought Eugene had left me. I thought the world truly was dark, and selfish, and cruel. When it seemed more like I would use those words to describe Mother.

I lost it. I cried about everything.

I cried for Eugene.

I cried for Pascal.

I cried for the world I would never get a chance to know.

And eventually I cried myself to sleep.

I had pointless hope that when I woke up everything would be perfect, but it wasn't. My life is far from fairy tale. I was wrong about everything. The one person I trusted with my life is the one who betrayed me. Who knows. Maybe that is how the real world is. It's not like I'll ever get to know.

AN: AWWWWWW I BROKE MY OWN HEART! WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I'M GOTHEL! Well, this isn't what I intended for this chapter at all. It just kinda came. Sorry it's a little short! I'll get on with the story in the next chapter. It'll be about what Eugene is doing. A HUGE thank you to all that favorited, followed, and reviewed! It really just makes my day! I know I'm not the best writer out there, but I try my hardest! Thanks again! I'll have more out next Saturday!
