Valkyrie's Heart

CHAPTER 1 - FINALLY FREE

- Wake up Smith!

The evil guard yells trying to wake me up. Keyword "trying", because I don't even flinch. Until I heard her say what I've been wanting to hear for years.

- Smith, wake the fuck up! Do you want to get out or not? – At that moment I practically jumped out of bed and started to stare at her.

- So Smith, today you will be given the clothes that were brought for you and you will wear them and leave the beige suit behind. Do you understand?

- Yes, I understa- Wait, who brought my clothes? – I ask confused, since all my family is dead. – Wait! Could it be? No, it can't be. I tried to stay away from them because I didn't want to hurt them... – I started to mumble until I was rudely interrupted.

- Shut the fuck up! I don't care about your feelings so stop mumbling like it's something important! The person that brought you these clothes was an old lady that said she was your grandmother! Now that everything is clear start getting ready to leave! And try not to do something that will make you get arrested because now you will go to jail and not here! You know... since now you're almost 18! – She said with a smirk on her face.

I quickly responded saying:

- Ohh but what if I want to visit? You know, since you're my favorite guard and all – I said smirking like her and looking at her face, and I notice that her smirk is gone.

She then just said:

- I don't fucking care so get ready and try not to die! 'Cuz you see, there are a lot of girls that would just love to say goodbye to you! – She gain her smirk again and the next thing I knew she had already left.

Then, a couple seconds later, a group of girls were standing in front of me. They all had little smiles in their faces. In that moment realization finally hit me. "That little bitch! The fucking guard saw them!" I thought to myself.

-Well, well, well! – A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. – Look who it is! It's the bitch that gave me this scar on my neck – she concluded.

"That's it, I remember now. It's that bitch that used to run this place until I came. Of course that was before she tried to give me my welcome present and I ended up kicking her ass!"

After remembering I started to laugh at her. Suddenly her face lost the smirk that she had and then the other bitches behind her came into my room/cell and started to punch me until they pressed me to the wall. She came in and I see that she has a small improvised knife.

- Really! – I said with a bloody mouth – You're going to use a knife? You coward asshole!

- It doesn't matter! You are getting out today and I'm going to mark you like you marked my neck! – She said pointing at the scar I left in her neck. – The only difference is that I'm going to ruin your pretty little face!

Right after saying that, she came to me with the improvised knife and started cutting my face. The knife started one inch up my eyebrow and then started to go down my face, skipping my eye, and finishing two inches down my cheek. At this point my face was burning hot and I felt a warm fluid coming of the cut. It was blood. The bitch was smiling, but quickly lost it when she noticed me not crying or even looking in pain.

- You really are a tough one! Oh well! At least you will never forget me! –She said and then turned back, before any guard saw them doing this to me.

Before they left, I said:

- You better hope I don't see you on the outside, because then, a little scar like this one... – I pointed at the wound on my face – will be the last thing you see before going to sleep... forever!

After that, I walked out of my own room, leaving them behind me as I start walking to the nursery room.

After being stitched up by the nurse and interrogated by the guards, asking me who did that to my face, to which I said nothing since I'm not a snitch, I walked back to my room and started to dress the clothes left on my bed.

When the guard came in I was finishing tying up my shoes. Then she led me to the front gate. "Finally after almost 4 years in this hellhole I am getting out!" I started to mentally celebrate until I saw her. "I was right. She came for me" I continued to think to myself. I could almost cry, but I didn't. I don't cry. Not anymore. But still, after pushing them away, she still came to get me. At that moment, I see her smile, and can't help but smile too and the next thing I knew, I was running towards her. And then I put my arms around her tiny body and a single tear drop of my eye. "I am going home! I will not be alone again!" I thought to myself while I was hugging her. While I hugged my grandmother.
