Dr.Steven set down his clip board and pushed his glasses up. He narrowed his eyes.
Empress dangled from her chair.
Sunlight filtered through the window, grass swaying, weaving through the air. Her father looked at her and forced a smiled.
"Empress you should pick some nuts and berries for me."He nodded toward her. His daughter gave a faint nod and stood up. Once she had padded out the door he rushed to a wooden plank, wide enough to fit a person. He opened it, revealing a dandy mirror. He felt the cuting edge a faint color of gold. He vowed to never let Empress see it. She wasn't his real daughter, not quite. Being a scientist he made her. Wanted to have a child. With her scared lips, twisted nose, two big black eyes one bigger than the other she looked scary. So he made her a mask. And would not let her see herself. Anywhere. Anywhere in this island.
Empress felt the weeds brushing her feet. She traveled near a creek. She stopped. A creek. Never had she seen a creek or any water source.
She kneeled down to take a sip, the water dribbling down her chin....
A loud plop fell, and a mask, the inside with dried blood was in the water, sinking and bobbing.
She reached for it and dropped it in an second. A face ugly and bloody lay before her. The reflection of her, her face. That was her face. She held a hand over her mouth and yelped. Her hand was burned. She stared at the water.
Ugly. Ugly. Ugly, Ugly.
She wanted to sob and grabbed the mask. She stared at the water, her black eyes, scarred lips, half nose. Dried up blood. She splashed the water on her pale dirty face. She screamed out in pain. Smoke, heat even, poured out of her skin. She grabbed the mask and felt the heat waver. She glared at the water. The mask, covered all her troubles, how could her dad see her like this. A monster. The word he had cursed out when he was working. Working on her. She gave a ugly sob. Now I know.
My father gave me a herb.
I looked up,"Daddy?"
"Shh.. I am gonna fix you up."He brought a finger to his lips.
I felt dizzy, spiraling into nothing. I felt weight being pulled off me. He held something.. somesort. He cursed and dropped water onto my face. I stood there wanting to scream but blinked.
"Monster.''He said harshly.
I closed my eyes. Mush, why did he say mush?
Empress widened her eyes. The image of her face, her discusting face made her spill. A mess, she threw a hand to wipe her mouth. The vomit looked as scary and well ew like her.
She grabbed her dagger, a dagger her father had given him. She brought it to her arms and cut, long and harsh. She cried again. She grabbed the dagger. Her body and hands were trembling.
She gave a smile, so creppy you wouldn't have any idea if she was gonna kill you, or laugh with you.
Her hair flowed up, maybe from the wind. Her black coal eyes blazed from the mask. She jabbed the knife into her stomach and toppled over. The river, long and rushing brought her choking, blood and water. She closed her eyes the water leading to small drops. She gave a grin and dropped onto a rock. A sharp rock that went through her. Blood colored the water a crismon red.
"If I'am unworthy.... your unworthy!"
And that was only the start, of horror, blood, and tears....
Hai! Hope you guys liked it!! This may get changed but for now it is like this.
