It was a warm night in the spring of 2004 the sun rested high in the sky and everything seemed content in the Lavina home. A newborn girl had just arrived, and everybody looked to love her with smiles ear to ear. The child was to be called alinia Lavina after her mother, her mother had died of childbirth and her father saw her as his wife. Under the facade of all the smiles was disgusted, disgust towards the child who had killed their beloved family member. Yet alinia thought this was normal. 

The child grew fast soon she was five and walking and talking, she lived with her father who was always at work and would come home with a glare at her. Every day her father would slam the old house's front door open and then slam it closed, he would walk heavily to the living room stopped when he saw her. He would just stare at the thing he was forced to call daughter and look after, all that he saw was the killer of his wife. Matt was her father's name was well respected in falena a small town it was but a good place for a family.

 Everyone saw matt as a good father and hard-working man, not seeing the demon he would become soon. One night he came home mader than alinia had ever seen him, she whimpered out "papa what's wrong" this only angered him more he turned to this little thing standing before him ." what do you think rat, maybe it's because I have to live with a rodent-like you" as her father said this he stepped closer and closer to her. 

When he had stopped talking he was right in front of alinia, the child shook with fear and tears as her eyes watered from the sadness she felt from her father's words. He hit her and smacked her right across the face with a deep scowl. That's when it all started, s matt would come home and hit her, beat her, burn her, and starve her to the point she was thin as paper and with no color left in her ounce bright green eyes. 

She thought this was normal and that it was ok since she was just a child. Her father got her an at-home teacher so that she didn't have to go in public. Alinia grew up at a slow pace she wanted to go faster since in her mind she'll be able to leave. At the age of 10 she snuck out of her room at night, she ran into a girl around her age. The girl was curious about the markings that alinia had, she started asking questions. Alinia realized what her father was doing, and how bad it was for him to be doing it. In the moment of her confusion, her father spotted her standing there in front of the girl. 

He hopped out of the car and ran towards alinia," papa stop your hurting me " she screamed when her father snatched her arm and started pulling her to the car. The girl she was talking go frightened by the action of the man she saw grab the girl. Matt dragged his daughter into the car "watch out for your feet little slut " as he slammed the door. Alinia started crying uncontrollably in the backseat of the car as her father sped off back to the house. 

When the car stopped and alinia looked out the window she didn't see the house, there in front of her father's car, an old stone mansion stood. Gray with color as if no life has ever lived there with a limited amount of windows, the house looked dead with no sound to be heard as you would listen for the noise of any living thing. In a quick blink, the car door was opened by the man she called father. Matt quickly grabbed her by the ankles and dragged her out of the car in the motion alinia hit her head on the ground. 

She growend out from the pain radiating on the back of her head. The feeling of something wet on the back of her head was soon followed by the taste of metal. Matt did not realize what had happened but was only focused on locking his child from the world. The door to the house was opened with a loud sketchy creek and the door stood agar matt slowly stepped inside still dragging alinia with him. Ounce inside matt dropped her with a loud thud, he quickly went to the door and closed it just to lock it. 

Alinia lay there on the floor slowly losing consciousness from the lack of blood in her body ." come on bitch get up this is your new home " alinia didn't answer, matt got mad from the silence that came when he spoke to her. He grabbed her hair and tugged her up then only to notice the blood on his hand. His eyes widen in fear that he killed her, but then his eyes turned dark and a cruel smirk lay on his lips. His eyes held realistic thoughts in the deepness of blue, matt picked up the girl in a swift motion to carry her down the stairs and into the basement. Locking alinia to the floor with sliver shackles on her ankles, wrists, and neck to hold her in place. Matt then walked back upstairs to the kitchen, a bucket sat on the floor full of water.
