A lightning struck.

"Look what you have just done! You've burned everything again you filthy rat!"

The lady, pushed her down to the ground by her shoulders, as she panickedly stop the fire by pouring out water.

The fire finally stopped.

What did I do?

She walked to the little girl, placed her hands at the both side of her face, dragged her by her hair to a room.

"Madame! Please stop it!" She cried in pain as they reach the room.

"Stand there! Face the wall!" She pointed at a space on the room, the child knew she can not compete against her anger.

Walking to the space she's pointed, she turned her heel to face the wall, standing steadily as she shuffles began behind her.

"Move an inch and you won't eat a grain the whole week!"

A sting hit the back of her leg, followed by another, and another.

All she could do is to endure the throbbing pain, by the time now, her legs were trembling, on the verge of breaking down, there's barely any feeling left in her limb.

Her legs accidentally jolted forward.

The pain stops.

"No meal for a week! Be glad that the Archons were kind enough to give me strength for you rat!"

She bit the inside of her cheeks as she forcedly grabbed her arm, turning her around as now she faces opposite the wall.

Vigorously, her wrists was grabbed up to her front, twisting the sharp elastic stick around her hand she used earlier. Both the child's wrist are in her hold, she began to whip the weapon to the child's arms, one after another, then another.

Non stop.

Tears fell down the child's eyes but it was no pity to her, she felt nothing but anger.

"Do you know how moras that carpet costed me!? And just for you to burn it!?" She yelled her the child's face as she continues.

"I'm so sorry, madam! Please stop it!" The child helplessly pleaded, but there was no mercy shown-she continued, and all the child knows is she can't resist.

She just can't.

Her nose bled.

The whip stops.

"Get your filthy hands off my things this time!" She said lastly as she stopped, pushing the child to the wall, walked off exiting the room as the door was slammed close shut.

She fell down to the ground, hugging her knees close to her chest. It's what all she can do to calm herself down-the thing no one has did.

She's the only one she has.

She covered her mouth with her numb hand-she couldn't feel anything in her limbs. A wet cough escapes her lips, blood staining to her hands, followed by another, and another to her point she's throwing up blood.

It stops.

All of it finally did.
