“Lillith.”
Father spoke. His voice was deep with a belittling tone. His eyes look dark like he is about to say something that will hurt me more than his punishments do. The room around me blurs out as I feel nervousness arise in my body as I look up at him.
“...Yes Father..?”
My voice is filled with nervousness as I speak, choosing my words carefully. If I say something wrong, I know my punishment will be worse.
“You know Lillith, I really thought you might have done better this time, but it seems that I was wrong.”
As he speaks, he leans down to reach my level, he looks disappointed. He's never been disappointed in me, only very angry. He's disappointed though… That means he had hope, he thought I could do it and I failed. He's always going to see me as weak.
“But, I digress. You know what's to come now that you lost a sparring match once again?”
My blood goes cold as my face goes pale with fear. I look into his eyes, the disappointment once there is now replaced with a sudden sadism. He rises to his full height, causing me to look up higher and higher. I feel the lava and fire get hotter and hotter, causing my thoughts to become clouded. Before I can fully comprehend what's about to happen, though, I feel my body rise up as Father grabs me by my neck, choking me. His right clawed hand reaches up to my face, as he traces the scar that goes across my two left eyes. I shudder as I clench my eyes shut. Wrong move. His grip on my neck tightens as he suddenly raises his right claw and slashes me across my arms. I feel the blood start to gush as I let out a shrill scream of pain. He throws me to the ground, causing the room to rumble from the impact. My right hand clenches my left arm as I hold back tears. I hear him speak, his voice rumbling the entire room.
“Leave. Take this as a warning to be better next time, Lilith.”
I nod quickly, standing up as I hold my arm, running out of the room as fast as I could. As i finally get out of the room, I can feel the airs weight lighten by ten tons as I breath in and out quickly. I can see blood falling onto the ground as tears start to drop from my eyes. I stumble a few more steps, until I fall into someones arms. I fell into my brother Niye’s arms. He looks at me with concern as he looks at the blood on the floor, trailing his sight onto my arm that has blood rapidly rushing out of it. Everything started to become blurry as everything goes black.
