UNDERFELL

The dog dies

My dear little Pink,

Watching you over these past few days has shown me a whole different side of you, how you can be so happy, playful, and loving, but anxiety has been building inside my stomach of what will happen and after and would happen to you if I were to disappear.

I don't know whether you will be reading this or not until after I am gone but I believe our time together has come to a end, maybe not right now, but one day, but still with a final hope, I am writing this for you. Maddison, Firstly, I love you to the moon and back. You are not just my younger sister but for me you are my little baby. I feel as if I am your sister, mother, friend all wrapped in one.

I don't know why I am writing this letter but pink, I think this letter might be the last piece of communication between us and if the "Might" becomes true then I want you to cherish this letter forever and know that your sister fought till the last breath for you.

Pink I always wanted to give you the childhood which was stolen from me. Every child deserves to grow up in life loved and safe, every child deserves to grow up with the one they see as heroes, in our case our mother and father.

Going to movies, going for picnics, going for dinner and playing with dogs. But my childhood was doomed from the beginning. First our mother left us not of her choosing and then our father abandoned us. I sometimes think, how can a father do this to his own children.

I always had this funny thought, if I ever became a parent, no matter how tough the situation was, I would never do this to my own child. Pink the day you were born; I was standing out of the operation theatre and the doctor came out holding you. You were wrapped in a white cloth and you were crying. I was excited to see you, touch you and that's when the doctor gave you in my arms. You were so little and I wrapped you tightly in my arms and you stopped crying. You looked into my eyes and you smiled. I called out to dad saying that you smiled looking at me and dad brushed that away thinking I am just playing around but I knew you smiled Pink. That day I decided I will play with you, I will bring you gifts, and most importantly I will protect you till my last breath and I think that moment has come.

Now Maddison, what will happen to you after I am gone. Obviously, Fairfax will try to sell you to some family or even worse, he might sell you to an illegal brothel. You are too young and innocent to know what that is, but don't worry I have made the arrangements. As soon as you come to know that I am no more, I have kept some money which will last for a month or two inside my purple suitcase. Inside my bag, there is a diary where you will find an address and contact number of my best friend, Raven. Take the money and diary and run out of this hell home, Raven will look after you.

Pink, before I end this long boring letter, I want to tell you that I love you and will keep loving you, even when I am in some other part of this universe. Life will teach you many things Pink and I have already made sure what happened with me will not happen with you. Grow up to be a winner and not a loser like me. Help others and most importantly help yourself. Make me proud and at some point, of time, we shall meet again in some other form where no one will be able to separate us.

Till then,

Yours Truly

Keira

Keira woke up in panic mode, the first thing she noticed was a) her head was throbbing and b) her limbs felt like they were going to burst out of their sockets. She tried to move her arms and legs, but her hands were tied and bounded behind her back and to her ankles.
