The Human Behind her Mask [Shino]

COOKEIS! When reading, play the video. It makes it sound DRAMATIC)

*******************************

A five-year girl sat in a cage, her coal-black eyes full of sadness and sorrow.

Her... "Parents", I guess you could say, betrayed her. Destroyed her.

Abused her.

Tortured her.

Almost killed her.

Starved her.

They only thing she was allowed was a pebble, and that was no use.

The girl glared at the door angrily.

..... Clank. Clunk. Clank. Clunk. Clank. Clunk.

"SACRIFICE!?"

Father.....

"Dont tell me your suddenly feeling sorry for her Kirai!!"

Mother...

"Of course not Ai. She just cant die yet. We need to use that Demon of hers."

The little five year-old girl narrowed her eyes angrily.

"No. We are getting RID of her and that stupid DEMON!"

Mother.....

"Yes, Ai."

The door bursts open and there comes Ai. "Hey bitch! Come over here, now!" The girl slowly shook her head.

"Dont make me come over there." Ai said, angrily.

The girl still shook her head. Slowly and unsure.

Ai narrowed her eyes before grabbing the key from her pocket and unlocking the cage.

The girl moved back on all fours backwards.

"When I say to come over. YOU COME!" She went into the cage and grabbed a fistful of her hair.

The girl whimpered.

Ai pulled harder, yanking her head up so that she had contact with the child.

"Now. Are you going to listen?"

The girl shook her head.

Ai frowned, before slapping her hard that the slap echoed in the room.

"Are you going to LISTEN!?" The girl grinned, spitting in the woman's face.

Ai wiped it off with a disgusted face and let go of the girls hair.

She pushed the girl to the wall and held her by the neck.

Ai leaned in, before ramming her fist into the girl's stomach.

The girl coughed, spitting out blood.

Ai dropped the girl and let her sink to the floor, breathing heavily, with a hand on her now bleeding stomach.

"You stupid whore. I hope you die here but just to make sure." Ai took out a kunai and threw it at her stomach.

The girl screamed, as it landed perfectly on her wound.

Ai turned around and came out of the cage, and locked it.

She put the keys in her pocket before going out the door.

Meanwhile, the girl took gulps of air before lifting her hands and looking at the red liquid that was slowly dripping down her fingers.

She sat like that for awhile, looking at the blood.

It just reminds her.... she's human like her mother and father.... But why do they treat her like they do?

She's just... human......

No.... she's not human to have survived for so long.... No.

She coughed. Now, the red liquid was all over the hand.

Her hand......

She ignored all of her pain and slowly.. Very slowly... Her eyes close as it has begun to become heavy.
