Chapter 12
Chapter 12
I woke up right before anyone could do, it had become part of me, waking up so early no matter
how late I slept, I got out of the bed feeling weak but I am not ready for another round of beating or
torture, it has been so much recently,
I had passed through a lot that I wondered if I should take my life, the hatred was too much,
everyone, just every single person hates me deeply and raw, seeing me was enough to spoil their day,
they will always act like I am a kind of monster, I wish I can meet my mother and ask if I really took her
life,
I knew nothing then, I was still like a fetus, how would I have the mind of killing mom when she
was yet to wrong me, my birth took her life and I guess it should be blamed on fate, that may have
been the fate assigned for her by the moon goddess but that didn't go that way,
I was made the killer and everyone believed it, the reason why mom died was never known do
they concluded especially with my strange eyes, they had no choice but to term me a demon...
I took three-step to the door and felt a rush of dizziness wave through my body that I staggered
back to the bed and plopped down with a loud thud, my head pound so heavily, both of my legs were
weakened that I couldn't stand again,
The scene of yesterday came filling my mind and I shut my eyes tight holding my temple as I
shook my head to shove it off, it was taunting me, the sight of the demon Luna was breaking my heart
and making me go mad,
It was so clear to me that she was a demon yet I have no courage to say it to daddy, the first time I
mentioned it, he punched me himself, I bled,
I fear what he will do this time when I repeat those words, there was no friend around me, no one
will hear me out, they all love Elf as the second Luna, she is highly respected,
How then can I make it known that she was here for a bloody mission, her mission to wipe the
silver moon away from the surface of the earth!
"Why I'm the only one who knows this!!!" I screamed in pain gritting my teeth as hot tears rolled
freely,
My lips quivered and I really felt my heart breaking into pieces, it was useless knowing it, I got to
see her true identity with the red eyes but then what is the use??... I'm a slave, I'm nothing!... everyone
loves hitting me, they hate seeing me...
How can I convince them that I wasn't the demon but the Luna, I growled to myself feeling so
angry, angry at everyone in the park, they are all blind and ignorant, Elf was going to succeed, I can't
help the death looming around,
With a deep sigh of exasperation, I got off the bed and head to the kitchen, at first, I had thought
I'd be locked up in the room as they once mentioned but that wasn't true, I was only bound from leaving
the park house and not my room,
All the work around the park house was still on my head, all the slaves had been sent away, even
the omegas are treated well, I have to do all the work by myself... Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
I got out of my room and scurried to the kitchen to make a quick dish as usual, after some hours, I
was done,
I began to do the sweeping and cleaning, the hallway which was so large, the hall which looked
like a field, I just felt like I will lose my breath, it was so much for one person but they won't see that
everyone has rejected me!
Hours were gone before I was done, I had to keep the food on the dining table before the
sweeping as I knew I would be late to do that when I begin to clean the house, I must swear
everywhere was intentionally littered with all kinds of trash,
It was clear that everyone wants me to suffer, the dirt that surrounds the house every morning
would make you cry in frustration, but I have to clean it up and wait for another round the next day,
"Hey come over here!" I heard a voice order me from behind, I really forced myself not to hiss
when I knew who had the voice, I know quite well who it was, the voice was that of Scarlett the
daughter of Elf,
I turned and met her scornful look, she was really staring at me like a shut and I really felt
ashamed at it, she was looking so fresh and beautiful, her brown hair was permed and flowed down to
her back, she has bright brown eyes which really adorned her tan skin, her full body was elegant, good
shape and soft skin,
I had always admired her beauty and wished I was her but not anymore, now she has grown to
hate me like her mother, I have also learned to stay away from her, I'm the unfortunate one, she is so
much lucky to have the Luna as her mother,
"Why are you staring at me??...run over here now!" She ordered with those fifteen years old
voices, as much as I can remember, I am 16 now which means I'm older than her, this really made me
feel hurt at how she just ordered me.
I growled deeply walking to her instead of the run she ordered I do, I just wished I wasn't rejected, I
wish I have the same right as her, I would have slapped her for shouting at me, she should be calling
me big sister but hell no, my world is different,
Just as I got close to her, she slapped me hard to my cheek making my eyes widened in shock, I
held my cheek with my mouth agape,
"Next time, you run and not walk you filthy demon!" She seethed.
"Scarlett you slapped me??...for real??.." I exclaimed with a raised blow making her laugh
scornfully.
"Come over to my room and keep it tidy, clean everywhere, after that, arrange my school uniform,
be fast so I won't be late to school..." She ordered and I sneered at her,
"I'll be the greatest fool to do all that and mind you, I won't spare you again if you dare to raise your
scraggly hand on me!" I growled and turned away,
She rushed at me from behind, I sensed it and turned immediately, a hot slap from her landed on
my cheek again and this time I couldn't bear it,
I gave her my slap and she fell immediately screaming like she would die anytime soon,
"Are you still a kid, I slapped you just once and you are rolling on the floor, screaming like a day-
old child!" I scoffed but she screamed louder and that was when I knew I'm doomed,
She was screaming to call the attention of Dad and Mom, my heart began to beat so loud and fast,
I stared at her as she cried as I stabbed her,
"Scarlett, stop making those noises...please, I mean I'm sorry, stop crying, I...I..." My lips were just
quivering, I kept looking around praying no one hears the cry but it was impossible,
"Who made my daughter cry this early morning?" I heard the voice of Daren my father and that
was when I knew I'm done for today, I'm finished already,
I regret ever touching her, it was just anger and I hate myself for getting angry, I should have
allowed her to hit me as she like, but it was so hard,
Immediately she heard the voice of the father, she increased her scream and even held her belly
and legs,
"What happened to you???.
.. Elena, what did you do to her?" Daren my ex-father asked helping her up from the floor.
I opened my mouth to explain it all but she overtook me,
"Dad, she pounced on me because I begged her to help me arrange my room" she sniffed crying
more,
I was dumbed wondering when she begged me that and when the hell did I pounce on her like was
this her plans?
Dad turned to me with fury in his eyes, there was a pure rage in there and his fist was clenched
already
"How dare you?' he growled deeply with those deadly look,
I opened my mouth to talk but fear won't allow me,
He walked closer to me with a menacing look making me move back in fright,
I don't just know why life was getting worse,
With a great speed like lightning, he grabbed my neck and pinned me to the wall tightly that I found
it hard to breathe,
"You can't kill anyone here and go scot-free, tell your demon clan that they have failed!!!" He
thundered and raised me from the ground with his grip on my neck,
I couldn't only shake in an attempt to free my self which was impossible,
He hit my back to the wall hard and pushed me to the ground with much force that almost broke
my bone,
I shrilled in pain but he wasn't seeing that, his hatred for me was too raw and deep into his heart,
"Dad, I want to slap her back..." Scarlett whined and dad paused his attempt to hit me again,
"Okay honey..." He smiled at her then made gestured to the guards.
I was held up straight facing Scarlett, my cheek was set for her and she really slapped me, it was
just three but I felt more hurt than dad's beaten, each of her slaps sends rage through me, I felt
useless, I felt like a piece of trash to her,
"Now do as I had ordered!" She huffed and I nodded after seeing dad's glare, I dare not decline
this time,
I quickly did the cleaning while she laughs and points at many places for me to clean, sometime
she would bring me back to where I had already cleaned, all I could do was sigh and hiss...
Just as I wiped the cupboard, I saw a pile of pictures in a book that looked like her dairy, she had
left the room to take her bath then,
I opened the diary and began to read,
"I can't wait to meet my future mate in school today, look how handsome he is..!" I read an
inscription on the first page of the dairy,
"Was she crushing on someone already??" I giggled and curiously flipped the other page to see
this crush of hers.
'What!!!!" I gasped in shock,
There and then in the dairy, I saw his picture...
