over the years

but unfortuantely, that statement never came true. days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into five years; five long years. five years of expiremnets, torture, degrading acts, vile men, and emotional dispair.

Spider Lily was eight now but had the mind of a thirty year old working man, Dao-Mind had fallen ill, and Claude could do nothing but watch in chains. the men Lily saw turned out to be scientists who had been studying the demon life and had been using Claude, Dao-Ming, and Spider Lily as samples.

but they were not the only ones who hade fallen victim to the lad factory, for Spider Lily had seen other demons come and go, most of them were killed. there was one demon that stood the most to Spider Lily though

- a few weeks ago-

my gaze shifted from mother to a man with black hair, they shoved him into a medium sized caged and walked away laughing. he growled and gripped the bars, my movement caught his attention and his eye color softened when he saw me and mother.

" is she alright?" he asked softly, i knew he was another demon so i trusted him.

" no...she's fallen very ill due to those sickos tests" i hissed, " how long have you been here?" he asked. " five years" i said through a shaky voice, his eyes widened " thats too long! how about i take you with me, i have a master to return to anyways" the demon offered me. but i shook my head

" no i must stay by my parent's side, i will go where they go...its the least i can do" i stated, " ...you...your the only demon that really deserves respect. you have gained my repsect and i shall gladly tell of your tale back home, your position will be a lesson to us all" the demon said with a bow. with a familiar warm feeling over coming me i let the slightest signs of a smile lift the curves of my lips,

after that he only stayed for a two days before disappareing at night.

After two more years went by Claude let the closure get to his mind and became delusional, to the point where he even blamed it all on his daughter. it broke Spider Lily's heart to see her father this way, he was always so cold and yelling at her to leave him alone. she wanted his hugs of reassurance and love,

but most of all she wanted her family back.

Spider Lily did not smile, frown, laugh, cry, or anything, she just held a blank stare all the time. she didnt really do anything except for take care of her mother, she learned how to control her emotions especially her anger. she learned the hard way, the scientists wanted her to get angry to see about her powers.

her father however had cracked and was already planning on his escape which didnt include Lily.

It was late at night around midnight and all was quiet in the lab , but ten year old Spider Lily knew better. she wordlessy sat up and watched her father take her mother out the cage with a blank expression, when she tried to crawl out aswell he shut the cage door on her knocking her back. she was confused and hurt, she wanted to go with her dad aswell to freedom. after watching her father dissappear into the black hallway she started to scream.

she screamed and screamed out for her parents but they never came back,

men came running in the find that Claude and the sick Dao-Ming were gone but they could do nothing but beat Spider Lily until she stopped her rampage.

Claude could hear his daughter's painful screams but chose to ignore her and carried Dao-Ming to their old house in the rain, the rain poured and poured as he ran as fast as his fatigue legs could carry him until he finally made it.

breaking throught the door he gently laid Dao-Ming down on the bed and shook her shoulders trying to wake her up, but she was already gone. through a fit of rage he destroyed the entire house and yelled into the raining sky,

far away Spider Lily could hear her father's roar of anger and instantly knew that mother had died, bowing her head she cried... for the first time in years she cried.
