• Trigger Warning •

Sometimes sadness just suddenly comes in and goes.

One day you're fine.

One day you're not.

It's always just that. Nothing in between.

I never saw her after the incident. She was brought to the hospital by a car.

I never saw her again.

Days.

Weeks.

Months.

Years.

One day, Mrs. Neme came in our room and asked for my presence in her office. I gladly followed her. I was made to wear a white dress. It was silky and flowy. At first I was insecure wearing it. The cleavage shows and it's my first time wearing this other than the gray dull night gown we all wear everyday.

"Hi, love. She's your sister and she's going to make you pretty. " Mrs. Neme left the room.

Oh that, we are all sisters in the orphanage. Though I never saw her, not even once.

A girl older than me applied some powder on my face. I looked on the big mirror and I never knew I was this pretty.

The girl gave me an earring and a matching necklace that she helped me put on.

"If I were you I won't bother putting them on. It only gets in the way later. " She smiled but I felt it was all fake.

After the glam look she led me to a long hallway I had never been before.

It was another room but bigger.

"When will my foster parents come to pick me up? " I played with my necklace.

"Soon." With that she left me.

The ambiance was relaxing with gray, black, white hues covering the room. There were bigger windows too. The golden gleams of dusk gave the room a warm feeling.

Finally, a family waiting for me.

I heard a door opening.

A couple went in. A beautiful woman and a man, probably on his forties.

Mrs. Neme followed them with my luggage on her hands.

What more possibly be inside of that than the mundane dresses of gray.

I held back my tears.

I'd be happy if A is here.

She'll see me off with my new parents.

Will I ever see her again?

I hugged Mrs. Neme one last time.

The old woman-- Mom went out and I followed her only to be stopped by a hand on my shoulder.

"Strip. "

What? 

"Love, I'll be waiting on the lobby. " The woman kissed the man on his cheek.

The door was shut off with Mrs. Neme's smiling face the last thing I saw.

I was so afraid.

I ran to the door and tweaked the door knob but it never bulge.

"Help! Anyone! "

I was shaking on the corner of the room but he was just there smiling while he unbuttons his shirt.

"Please no. "

"Come here dearie. "

I covered my eyes and whimpered in the dark as he take his steps slowly towards me. He took amusement in making me squirm in discomfort.

This was it.

A and the rest of the girls had gone through.

I had a hunch why she wasn't as happy as she was. Her smile falters each time I'd ask about her trips to the outside world.

Tears pooled my eyes I had difficulty in seeing but it was clear to me that I had to escape this demise.

He grabbed me by my hands and carried me to the bed all the time I shouted more than ever.

He pinned me down and his weight had caged me. I could feel his other hand making its way to the part of my body.

I felt sick.

I wiggled free from his grip when his attention was on clouded by his sickening trance of lust.

I escaped but he suddenly pulled me under him once more. I could feel his laboured breaths and I felt disgusted each kiss he's giving me.

I felt his part against me. I balled my fist and punched him on that sweet spot. I heard a manly howl and I took that time to push himself off of me.

I got a bottle of wine set on the table and hit his head. I felt sick even more realizing that maybe the wine's there for his convenience of drugging me.

He's a mess craddling his head but I knew that's not having the effect of stopping him from getting what he want of me.

I just want a family.

How could the world be cruel?

I gripped on the vase with fresh flowers and hit him again. I took the rose and whipped his face to a bloody pulp thanks to the thorns. He screamed and cried but he reached for me and grabbed me again.

He pushed me against the wall and started ripping my clothes off. I kiched his balls and got a piece of the broken vase and ran to the window.

I attempted to break the windows when a loud knock on the door stopped us both.

"Honey. I'm here! I wish I could give you a child of your own that we wouldn't have to impregnate another girl. I heard a lot of screaming. Honey, I wish I was the girl you're enjoying yourself with."

"Mrs. Dee, let's wait in the lobby. It won't be long now. " Mrs. Neme and her evil ways.

When he looked and listened to the door I got my stupid heels I was made to wear and tried breaking the window.

I could feel his presence and when I looked back I found his sweaty body against me.

I remembered A told me something about "Always that area." And I faced him one more time to give a kick to his crotch.

I broke the window and jumped.

Then darkness.
