Punishment...

mysteriousponyqueen asked
For Gillies,
I think Lily cared and might care for you right now. Did you ever hear from her after becoming a criminal? Did you ever hear from your parents? Did you ever think, as a child or maybe now, that if you were going to be ignored like this, why did your parents even have you in the first place? Did you ever decide to annoy them on purpose and follow them around all day? You say that you are aristocrats and your mother worked in a telephone company... Perhaps you are an aristocrat on your fathers side?
What did you do at those parties? Well maybe not cheating, but did you ever found something you weren't supposed to find about them? How did your parents punish you? We're there methods for punishment brutal?
Did you ever... Think about killing your parents?

Yes I did indeed here from Lily after a became a criminal, she would send me letters, telling me about her life. After our Family. After she was diagnosed with tuberculosis I never heard from her again. And no I never heard from my parents.
Yes I did think that, curious I asked them but they just ignored me.
That thought always crossed my mind but I knew the consequences. Yes I was an aristocrat on my fathers side.
What I did at those parties...? I-I drank... I tried to just... Drink my life away I guess...
I did find something about my parents, they were going to give me up for adoption... That never happened but the caught me snooping and... I was lucky, I only got fifty lashes...
The punishments were brutal... They ranged from whipping, bondage, cutting, anything this was the reason I didn't go outside, eat much, and stay isolated. I did think about killing my parents but I didn't.

For mysteriousponyqueen in my other story, I would like you too become a character, you don't have to but if you do could you pick a name what you look like? Your kinda of going to be a bit of a hero...
