"Dad.."

My eyes fluttered opened and I saw my daughter Eden hovering over me.

"Eden?" I slowly sat up and she quickly pulled me into her arms, holding me in her embrace. I groaned softly before wrapping my arms around her as well. "I missed you." I whispered weakly.

"I missed you too Dad, and I'm so sorry. I didn't know he was hurting you!" She cried.

"It's okay.." I caressed her hair and then I kissed her on the forehead before she pulled away.

"How long have you been trapped here?" Eden asked.

"Since I was about your age. My parents died and I was taken here to live with my grandfather, but then he died too. After awhile Leroi let me go back to living a normal life, but he tricked me into believing that I could do that. I thought I'd never have to see him again, but shortly after you were born he came back and he took me away from you. Abby and another man raised you until he decided that it was time for you to be here as well." I explained.

"I understand, it all makes sense to me now." Eden voiced. "And you were right, I should have never come back here. Leroi isn't the same anymore, he's been mean and scary towards me. I want to run away again, but I don't want to leave you behind Dad." There were tears on her cheeks and I wiped them away.

"I want you to escape Eden. Don't worry about me, I've had a good run and if something happens, I never want you to blame yourself." I told her.

She only cried in my arms and I held her close wanting nothing more than to comfort her.

We stayed like that for about an hour before Eden thought it was time for her to leave.

"I should get back to him now, he'll probably be angry if I don't return soon." she said.

I nodded, "Alright, but be careful Eden. I love you." I said.

"I love you too Dad." Eden hugged me one last time before leaving my room.

Once the door closed I let out a tired sigh. I was happy to finally talk to my daughter again, but now I just wanted to rest some more. I lay back down and stared up at the ceiling before closing my eyes, and then I was fast asleep.

When I awoke again, a feeling of emptiness loomed over me. I sat up and ran a hand through my hair before looking at the door. For some reason I felt that something wasn't right. I got out of my bed and left my room. I walked down the corridor in search of Eden but she was nowhere in sight.

Then I reached Leroi's study. I stood outside the door and my heart slammed against my ribcage as my nerves settled in. I wanted to knock or even walk in but I was afraid. Like my daughter said, Leroi was meaner and scarier and I didn't want to anger him further.

I finally worked up the courage to knock but before I could the door opened and I was staring up into a pair of angry red eyes.

"Aden, what is it?" Leroi asked impatiently.

"I-I was looking for Eden, is she inside?" I asked him.

"No, she isn't." He answered, but I could tell that something was off about him. He was acting strange, and I wanted to know why.

"Are you sure? She told me she was going to back to you earlier. I can't find her anywhere else." I said.

Leroi's hand was suddenly around my neck and I looked at him with wide eyes as I gagged for air.

"I told you that she wasn't here. Maybe you should search elsewhere Aden." He said before letting me go. He returned into his office and closed the door.

I left and went to look for Eden. I searched almost every room in the house but she was no where to be found.

"Eden!?" I called for her but I never got an answer.

Then I found myself outside in the garden. I collapsed onto the ground in front of the flower bed and that's when I saw her. "Eden?" She was lying underneath the flowers and she wasn't moving. My eyes widened when I realized that I was staring at her corpse. She was dead.

"No!" I quickly scooped her body up into my arms and held her close. There was so much blood and I got covered in it, but all I could do was cry. My little girl was gone and now I really had no reason to live. I sat there crying for hours until it had suddenly gotten dark. Then I rested my daughters body back on the flowers before heading back inside.

I was sick and dizzy and I just wanted to puke. I clutched my stomach as I made my way back to my room. I went to the toilet and vomited, and then I ran myself a bath. I sat in the water washing away the blood and dirt off of my body, and then I started sobbing again.

An hour later I collapsed on top of my bed, I was still naked and I was shivering cold. I suddenly heard my bedroom door creak open and I didn't have to even guess who it was. It was him, Leroi. I knew what he wanted but I was going to allow him to touch me again.

"Aden.." He was standing near me now, and he was ready to devour me but I couldn't let him.

"I found Eden.." I told him, "She's dead."

Leroi was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry Aden, it was an unfortunate loss." He said.

"Is that all you have to say!?" I yelled before sitting up to look at him.

"You think that I did it don't you?" He asked.

"Yes, I do. You're a fucking demon, and you killed her because that's how disgusting and evil you are!" I spat angrily, "And now you think you can come in here and do whatever you want to me? I won't allow it, I don't ever want to sleep with you again!"

"Aden.." Leroi suddenly reached to touch me but I slapped his hand away.

"I said no!" I yelled again only to be struck with a right hand. I fell back against the pillows and watched as Leroi got on top of me.

"Who are you to disobey me? Didn't I warn you that you'd be punished if you ever defied me?" He asked darkly. I felt his hands travel between my legs but I didn't want him touching me. With what little strength I had left I pushed him off of me and I quickly bolted for the door. I ran out into the corridor naked, frantically searching for an escape.

"Aden!" I heard him calling for me, but I kept running.

"Help me! Someone please help!" I cried as I ran faster. I made it to the staircase and quickly got to the front door, but before I could open it I was grabbed by my hair and yanked around. Leroi stared at me with a murderous look in his eyes.

"It's time for your punishment Aden." he said before pulling me along.

He dragged me back upstairs and into his study and then he bent me over his desk like before. I groaned from the rough treatment but that was just the beginning of it. Leroi unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock before forcing it inside me.

I screamed and he covered my mouth before thrusting in and out of me as hard as he could.

It hurt like never before and I could only cry. My body kept hitting the desk over and over. I thought I would break. But I was already broken, I lost everyone I loved and my world was shattered. How could I even go on living?

If Leroi killed me too I probably wouldn't have cared anymore.

As Leroi kept going harder I could feel my heart beat growing faint. I was losing so much blood and I could barely stay awake.

My eyes fell closed and a smile crept upon my face when I realized that it'd finally be over. I'd be freed from this hell, and I would never have to see Leroi again. I could finally be with my family in Heaven and be happy again.

It's all I really wanted.
