She now constantly hears the cries of children

She's haunted by their screams

And all she can see is red rivers

This is now the daily life of Silalynn Silva, a Royal turned Prisoner. The 15 year old girl was brought here 2 months ago, and despite how short of a time it was she had accepted the situation and gotten used her new daily routine

This place was hell, anyone could see that the moment they stepped in. This place...it was created to give a someone a devil for some purpose that Silalynn just couldn't figure out. But in order to give someone a devil they had to make contracts, and to make contracts they had to defeat the devil in a battle, meaning they had to get stronger.

Children were forced to fight against each other, and if you lost, you're as good as dead if not already dead. This is done in order to train their strength against other opponents. The Silva prodigy remembers the first time she went against another person. They were a commoner, male, looked to be about 9, and had a Crystal Magic affinity. He was stubborn but easy to defeat, her being a royal came in handy around this place.

"Sickening" that's what Silalynn felt every time she fought someone. Even though they were commoners and there were a few (rare) nobles, and they were all beneath her, she couldn't help but feel sorry for them. They were children and most of all human, they didn't deserve this.

"I'm royalty damn it!" Silalynn groaned inside her sleeping quarters, well more like a prison cell. "What did I do to live through this...no, what did any of these kids do?..." almost everyone at that hell hole was younger than her, ages ranging from 6-15. The 4th Silva shutters as a thought comes across her mind.

"Everyone here, has either killed or been killed"

This was a reminder to her of the reality she's living and that she can't escape. She hugged her knees into her chest and rested her head on them. Silalynn gulped, "I'm a murderer, actually I'm even lower than a murderer, I killed a mere defenseless child" her pink and purple eyes shut as she recalled how a week ago she had even killed a kid. "N-none of us deserve this, no o-one here should have to suffer or die" her voice broke as salty rivers fell from her eyes.

"No one.."

Blood stained the floors on her cell soon after. If she didnt die from battle than her body would become weak enough and then someone would kill her.

Time Passed (Since coming here): 2 Months
{Silalynn Silva cries her heart out}

------------------------

4 months have now past since she came here. 2 months ago she cried because of killing a child. 1 month ago she gave up trying to leave this place, she gave up feeling sadness or anger at being here or hurting a child.

Silalynn Silva stopped fearing she would kill.

"Bloody Sila" that's the name she's used to being referred to now. She's no longer the Elegant Princess of the Clover Kingdom's House Silva. She's seen as ruthless and kills anyone who stands in her way. Everyone knows of the girl with Silver hair and different colored eyes, they fear her. This, of course caught the attention of the person who started this whole thing, Vanica Zogratis. But we'll get back to that later.

"You don't want to get on her bad side..."

"Don't make eye contact with her.."

"She's a absolute monster....."

"A ruthless creature..."

Silalynn heard these remarks everyday. They feared her but did it matter? No, not to her. What a lie, the same one she told herself everyday. Sila fisted her hands as a thought occured to her.

"No one can keep me here as long as I become the strongest..."

Time Passed: 4 Months
{Silalynn Silva has a goal}

------------------------

4 months and 1 week passed. Fighting got harder for the royal, which was honestly surprising for her. Lady Vanica found out about her sickness and manahed to replicate her medicine that temorarily stops it. How? She doesnt know, should sheeven take it frpm her? Definetly not, but she needs that medicine to survibe. Sila continued to beat her opponents and killed most of them in those fights.

"One more battle for today..." Silalynn sighed. In front of her stood a girl with waist length wavy grayish brown hair that also had a light pink tint in the lighting. And she had periwinkle eyes.

Silalynn quirked a eyebrow as she saw a very wonky wooden flute that looked like if you played it all you would get was a horrible sound.

"Hello!" The girl said in a singsong voice, which she likely had even if she was speaking normally. "I look forward to this!" She had a innocent smile plastered on her face. It was so..strange..., how could someone smile like that when against "Bloody Sila"?

3. 2. 1.

...

The Silva Prodigy wasn't able to recall most of the fight. All she could remember was casting a spell and then the area was covered in purple smoke that made her extremely drowsy. But aside from that there was one thing she could never forget about that battle.

She lost

And she doesn't even remember how

How humiliating...

Time Passed: 4 months and 1 week
{Silalynn Silva has been humiliated in battle}

------------------------

Later that night Silalynn stayed inside her cell. Normally she would've walked around and any poor soul that crossed her path would have to be careful to to piss her off. But after that fight, the pink and purple eyed girl didn't feel like making a fuss.

Her head perked up at the sound of someone walking into the open door of her cell (all cell doors close at 10:00 pm, it's currently like 6:00). Her eyes met with the girl from before, the one who defeated her.

"What?" Came the Silva's icy tone. Silalynn stood up while glaring at her. But all she did was smile and walk into her cell.

The periwinkle eyed girl held out her right hand. "I'm Lydia Stonecrest" she gave a closed eye smile. "It's nice to meet you, uh...what do I call you?"

Why wasn't she wavering, why does she have that stupid smile on her face! "Tch" Silalynn sat back down and leaned against the wall of her cell. "I'm "Bloody Sila...I'm sure you know that with your intellect though you're stupid to actually try to talk to me" the Royal scoffed.

Lydia didn't even flinch. She simple giggled, flustering the Royal, who was dumbfounded. "I mean your real name silly!" Lydia walked closer to her and sat down next to her. "I don't want to call you "Bloody Sila", I'm sure you wouldn't like that. So why don't you give me a name?"

Silalynn's mouth hung slightly open. Was this girl serious? Whether she likes it or not she is "Bloody Sila" and that's who she's talking to!

Sila was absolutely shocked. No one in their right mind would do this. The Silva cleared her throat. "I'm...Silalynn..Silalynn Silva" Lydia smiled after hearing her.

"Ok, nice to meet you...Shiruko!"

"Uh, that's not my name...it's Silalynn.." Sila sweatdropped. "Is this girl hard of hearing or just plain stupid!" She wondered.

"Well that's you're nickname now" Lydia had warm grin. The kind of grin that could really make anyone around her smile as well.

The Silva was caught off guard. "I-I-I'm royalty, y-you can't just g-give me a nickname s-so casually!" Silalynn looked away, her cheeks tinged pink. "B-but I'll allow it just this once, be g-grateful!"

Lydia once again giggled. "Then thank you, you're highness" she bowed dramatically. A small smile crept onto Silalynn's face.

For the first time since she came, Silalynn feels safe.

Time Passed: 4 Months, 1 week, and a few hours
{Silalynn Silva feels safe}

------------------------

It had been a week and few days since Silalynn met Lydia and their fight went down. And Lydia would always barge into Silalynn's cell or try and spend time with her. It didn't bother Sila in the least bit she did wonder why she would spend time with-

"Bloody Sila" the silver haired girl finished. Lydia sat next to her and for some reason was playing with the formers long hair.

Lydia just stared at Silalynn and let go of her hair. "I'm not spending time with Bloody Sila" she simple answered going back to playing with the Royals silver locks. Silalynn whipped her hair around, making her pull her hair out of Lydia's hands.

"Don't be an Enigma, I'm Bloody Sila you buffoon!" Silalynn bit her lip uncomfortably as Lydia continued to just stare at her. Minutes of silence passed before Silalynn broke.

"Ugh! Don't just stare at me like that! It's annoying!" The silver haired girl turned away from Lydia.

"I'm not spending time with Bloody Sila though" Lydia said calmly. Silalynn was about to yell but Lydia beat her to the punch. "You're Silalynn Silva, not "Bloody Sila", don't call yourself that Shiroku" The grayish brown haired girl brushed her fingers through Silalynn's hair. The Silva was left stunned and speechless.

Lydia smiled warmly once again, a few seconds later she yawned. "Hope you don't mind if I crash at your cell for today" the periwinkle eyed girl stretched her limbs and rested her head on Silalynn's shoulder.

"N-no way! Even if I was what about the-"

"Oh don't worry about them" Lydia said sleepily. "Just go to sleep and we'll be safe and sound"

Silalynn wanted to rebuttal what Lydia said and push her off but decided against it. Lydia already fell asleep and looked very serene. The Silva prodigy sighed as she too let darkness take over her.
