"How old is she?" I asked. "She's 15 now, and she's been asking about you." She answered. "What did you tell her about me?" I looked at her hoping she didn't know the truth. "I told her you ran away because of your father...she kept saying I chased you away and left one day while I was here." she looked down.
I lowered my head. "Unchain me...". She took a step back and shook her head. " I can't...I'll lose my job and I won't be able to save you two from this place." She looked away. "Just do it!" I yelled at her. She hesitated before removing the chains.
I fell to the ground, since the chains were holding me in the air, and got up slowly. "Go home. I'll get her and meet you there." I walked out the room and went to the room of the girl I've seen before.
I hesitated and went inside. She was sitting on a bed covered in flowers, her hair looking messy. "Tsubaki?" I asked getting closer. She looked up tears in eyes. "A-are you going to h-hurt me?", she said with a shaking voice. "I won't. It's me...Tokeru." I smiled slightly. "I'm going to get you back home."
I unchained her ankle, which was chained to the bed and helped her up. I tried pushing her back as she hugged me. "Don't...just to be safe okay?" I said after finally getting her off. "Okay onisama!", she said smiling in a strangely creepy way, at least for me it seemed creepy. I went back to my old room where I found our mother.
" Tsubaki!", yelled my mom before hugging her for what seemed like an eternity.
As they hugged it out I noticed how big Tsubaki was and how much she had changed. Her hair was long and black, her eyes a deep dark brown color that seemed to make anyone fall into a spell, she was taller than when I was taken...I say around 5'3, her skin was pale but strangely beautiful and she had Tsubaki flowers in her hair.
I heard a noise down the hall and ducked into my room pulling them inside. The noise was a mix of footsteps, yelling, cursing, and chains rattling. I peeked out the door and saw that they were dragging a 15-year-old girl with white hair and purple eyes. Soon after she was in the room I heard screams coming from the guards asking for help and I saw a tick layer of frost covering the door. I do not wanna go in there.
I walked out when I thought it was safe and looked at my mother. "Where's the exit?" I asked trying to be nice so she would tell me. "Tokeru you can't leave this place..." she said looking away. "What the hell do you mean I can't leave?!! I was kidnapped in the first place!! They should let me go with a letter of apology!" I yelled.
After that...things go weird fast.
My mother grinned widely and laughed in a psychopathic way. Tsubaki grabbed my arm tight and backed up. "M-mom?" She said looking at her, fear obviously present in her being. Mother looked at her grinning and made a "no" gesture using her finger.
How could I not notice...there was a scar partially hidden by her hair...her head had been cut open...
