47 Missing Memories (1/2)

In the still darkness, nothing could be seen. Light was robbed from that small room. It was a world without life, without light, and without company. The only sounds present were the maddening tickings of the clock and the small drops of liquid falling to the ground. The unbearable stench of blood, sweat, and rust remained permeating the room with its terrible smell.

Within the blinding darkness laid the small child. Her dark long hair covered her frail body but even then it wasn't able to cover the bruises and injuries that soaked her in blood. Her body was covered with marks and her smooth skin was tarnished with scars. The world above was an impossible dream now. She was a mere 12 year old girl but her memory of the world had long since faded after being chained to that underground room for 3 years.

The child's dim eyes closed waiting for the day in which it all ends. Her eyes had lost their use, there was nothing beautiful left to see in her dark world yet every time she woke up hoping it was all a nightmare.

The memory and thoughts of the past her ran through Daiyu's mind. It was like living a movie and feeling the movie. She could feel the pain but she couldn't stop her eyes from closing or her heart from hurting. It was like following a script half conscious. She couldn't understand her thoughts or remember everything through that memory all that she could do was wait and watch.

Time passed slowly and it all felt like death. It was agonizing and eternal but she could feel that she preferred it this way. Eventually the subtle sounds of familiar steps resonated behind the door. It was the same three people she had once loved and trusted but now they came to her filled with horrible intentions. She could feel it, the terror.

She didn't want to see the light. She didn't want it to come ever. She could feel her body's tremor as the doorknob slowly turned and the door slowly creaked open. Her dry painful eyes seemed to spill once again with tears. Her tied arms and legs which were spread open were tugging at the chains binding her. Everything hurt but it didn't stop her from continuing her futile struggle. The airblew into the room making her realize she was naked. Her only cover was her stiff hair filled with dry blood.

No matter how much she cried and screamed they wouldn't have any mercy but she still tried every time. After all, they were her family and beloved. She showed them her love and laid her heart bare in their hands. Naively she hoped for mercy and forgiveness for unknown faults. She never thought her life would be like this.

The last figure was a young girl looking at everything and glaring daggers at her everyday. It was her younger sister, Elaine, who was completely different now. Her spoiled gaze filled with warmth had hidden her deep hatred. The young man nearing her gazed at her, but what used to look like love was now a sinister gaze filled with contempt and worst of all was the man next to him, her father.

She was but a tool for him.

Every visit made her heart which was already destroyed to the point in which it seemed to be hurt and torn so much it was a miracle, disintegrate and shudder in pain again. Her heart, despite their wrongs, still loved, hurt, and hoped all for naught.

Seeing everything happen gave Fan Daiyu an ominous feeling. She wanted to shut her eyes tightly but they were still wide open begging with tears for pity, mercy, and even compassion. However, who would give her any of that when they harbored nothing but evil. She gazed towards the middle aged man with teary eyes as her hoarse voice croaked.

”Father..... Father please...why are you doing this... I really am your daughter.... Mom... mom... never lied....I saw that lady switch it...she–”

Before she could even finish her covered her mouth with his hand like always. He never let her finish. He never let her explain. He preferred to believe the scheming woman than her mother. He preferred to listen to that seducing vixen!

”Shut up! Your mother was a wh*re and a liar. You are the same. You have to make up for her now. That b committed suicide. HAHA! Now she sees how her daughter becomes just like her.”

Desperately she shook her head screaming and struggling as both men held her still. She watched in horror as her father unfastened his belt and pulled down his pants. She pushed and tried to move but her chains held her back. Song Ming fastened ropes around her waist and rendered her immobile. He smiled at her and his lecherous gaze ran down her body.

That was the boy she had known all her life. She grew up with him and loved him just as he ”loved” her back. Now her stood before her engaged with her sister her still raping her with her father every other day.

She knew he didn't love her sister. He only wanted the status that came with it now that she didn't have competition. He betrayed her and still he hurts her. He was a jerk and a two faced. Then again all of then were.

She could only shut her eyes and lose hope once again wishing for the light to leave again. She hated seeing that open door as they raped her. She hated seeing the light out side that never gave her happiness. She hated that every time she saw the light which she used to love, her father came to pierce her and leave her dirty.
