"Mum? Dad! Anyone?!" I cry out, running through the empty halls of my manor which are normally full of life and bustling with servants. Fear courses through me as I open each door and search for any sign of life.

I make it up to my parent's room and knock on the door. I receive no answer. I knock again more frantically and call out for them. No answer. I open the door to an empty room, my parent's bed is made. There was no one here for me. I was alone.

"Mum, Dad? Where are you?" I whimper to myself.

"They have left you." A voice echos.

"N-No! They wouldn't do that. Th-They love me..." I whisper.

"Love you? They just wanted to fey away from you." My eyes widened.

"No..."

"Yes. Who could love a worthless piece of filth like you? You mess everything up and get into everyone's way." The voice said convincingly.

"N-No. S-Stop it!!" I cry and cover my ears.

"Your laughter is annoying and your smile is tiring. Face it. No one loves you nor will anyone love you." The voice said as if I hadn't spoken a word.

I slumped to my knees, clutching my head. The voice kept chanting over and over how terrible I am despite my cries. Soon everything around me fades away and all I can hear is the voice and all I can feel is the pain it causes me...
