Death

I could feel the tears flowing down my face like rivers as I paced back and forth outside my parents room, Looking up at the door every few seconds. The echoes of their screams replayed in my head, over, and over, and over again.

I watched the maids whisper to each other as I fidgeted with my dress which was stained with blood. Some my own, Mainly my parents.

I felt miserable at every second that passed. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I continued pacing the hallway, waiting for the doctor to walk out and tell me that my parents were gonna be okay. Waiting for them to walk out and hug me and reassure me that everything was okay.

I heard the door click, and the slow creak. My head quickly turned to look over, gripping my dress and walking toward the doctor.

I felt a smile on my face form. I rushed through the door and sat at my parents sides, Shaking them to wake up.
"Mother! Father! I-I knew you'd be okay!" I cried, Shaking them more and ignoring their blood on my hands.. I stopped for a second, realizing they weren't looking at me.

I looked into their open eyes, To find pure despair looking up from them, Their eyes stuck open. I felt my body start to shake, Desperate for a single word from them. I shakily placed my ear on my mothers chest, Listening for her heartbeat and halting my breathing.

The silence was almost deafening. I felt tears streaming down my face again. "M-Mother...?" I whispered. "M-M-Mother. Th-this isn't funny. P-Please. Please wake up. Mother...?" I said, Shaking her corpse. I looked at the doorway to see all the staff and the doctor looking at me, the women crying and the men bowing their heads.

"Nononono. Y-You can't leave me. No-!" I sobbed, rushing around the bed to my fathers side, Placing my ear on his chest.

Once again, There was nothing. Not a single sound. I sat on my knees, my hair covering my face.

"Miss Y/N. I-... I'm so sorry." The doctor said, sitting at my side with his hand on my back. I looked up at him wiping my tears off my face, But the blood from my hands got on my cheeks.

My personal maid rushed over to me, Wiping her tears and trying to pick me up. I swatted her hand away with a growl.

"Y/N, Sweetheart. We must go. I apologize for the inconvenience." She said, her voice cracking a bit.
"I'm not going." I muttered.

I refused to let them take me from them. They had to drag me out of the room while I was kicking and screaming, fighting to get back to my parents side. They eventually got me away, But I'd gotten blood more of my dress from a reopened wound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Miss Y/n? Your bath is ready, ma'am." one of the staff claimed. I'd been sitting in a nightgown on my bed while they prepared the bath and started washing the dress and treated my injuries.
I managed to get lucky, my parents on the other hand hadn't. I only had a few cuts, a broken wrist and a deep wound on my shoulder.

I was eventually told that my parents died from their blood loss and injuries. I wanted to imagine they went quickly and painlessly, But their screams said otherwise.

"Right, Thank you." I smiled, getting up and following her to my bath.

The walls were made of large stones, The bath built into the ground and full of warm water. There were a few of my maids in the room, and they helped me undress and helped me into the water.

The water was warm, it had rose petals and lavender buds floating around in it. The women started scrubbing me down with a soft sponge and soaps, cleaning my wounds as they went. I just sat there, Staring off into space.

They gently leaned my head back and poured water over my hair, Running their fingers through it and rubbing soap into it.

"Would you like a shave, Ma'am?"
I let out a slight nod as one of the women began to shave my left leg, and another file my nails.

One of the butlers suddenly ran into the room, seemingly distressed.
"I apologize for the intrusion, ma'am. But someone is here to see you." He quickly said, bowing.

"Can it wait until later?"
"No ma'am. Its quite urgent.."
"Right. Get me a clean gown at once."

Everyone looked around for a second. I gave them all a look and a few of them quickly ran out of the room, and a few got me out of the tub and wrapped a towel around my body.

I dried myself off and got into my hoop skirt, underskirt, and corset. The corset had a nice black lace with a deep red bodice that had hand sewn embroidery and lace.

The maids tightened the corset a bit more, put my socks on my feet, and I put on my heels myself.

I didn't bother to do anything with my hair, as I didn't see a need to. Same for any makeup. I figured it was some people offering their condolences so I didn't want to look too nice. People could quickly spread rumors if I did. Mother and father taught me that from a young age.

The butler quickly led me to the front of the mansion, where I found a tall man with dark hair and almost red eyes. He wore a black suit and a pair of white gloves and black tie.

I couldn't help but seem like I'd seen him somewhere. I looked around the room a bit, waiting for someone to say something.

My eyes quickly caught a picture on the wall. the picture was of my parents with a man. Who looked exactly like the one standing in front of me.
