Fragments Of A Broken Soul

Father's little soldier..?

In a city full of lights, there is always a "bad street". The kids playing in the streets of a lively neighbourhood would get told to never go to the "bad street".

But what about the kids who live in the bad street? The ones who were forced there because of their parents leaving them or their whole family being banished there?

Well there was one girl, Ayla, forced to live in those streets with smelly clothes and raggedy hair. But even under all those things, she was still a beauty. People of the bad streets say she is the one way ticket out of here. She lives with her mother, and sees her father sometimes but her mother doesn't allow her to go much.

That was because her father was a hitman. Killing people with just an order made her mother sick. When she was pregnant with Ayla, she wanted her to be nothing like the father. But everyday, Ayla became more and more like her father. From the way she spoke, her pink hair that was short but covering her ears, and most of all, the way she could lie so easily.

She could lie about anything without showing a slight emotion. This scared her mother, so she made Ayla grow her hair long and curly like hers and forced her to speak in a more proper manner. But she could never know how to make Ayla stop lying. So she forbided Ayla to ever see her father again.

Why? Why was her mother so scared of her father? This was a question that Ayla always thought about, but never said a word about it. She knew if she asked a question like that, it would make her mother even more strict. But everynight under the moonlight, Ayla thought about her father, and how it might be like to live with him. She saw a shooting star. She made a wish to live with her father forever..

One fateful day, Ayla went out to go to the market. She left her mother for just a minute. A minute. She wondered and thought what her father may look like now, since it had been years since they had last met. She came back and saw the door wide open. Her mother always said to never go in a house that has a door wide open. She said it was a welcome to death. But Ayla didn't care what her mother said at that point. She just wanted to hurry up and finish school and get a scholarship to live with her father, never seeing her mother again.

"A door wide open is a welcome to death.. what does she even mean. She's always going on and on about father being crazy but she never thought once in her life." Suddenly, blood splattered on the wall once she had entered the kitchen.
