A mother to be, aged 16 found an ad in the paper for a maid at a mansion in the upper part of the city. She heads to the mansion with the paper in hand and carefully but excitedly knocks on the door not knowing what's to come.
"Hello, missy. What's your business here?"
"I saw your ad in the paper and thought I might apply for the job."
"Well, you got it."
"I did?!? How? I didn't even tell you anything about me."
"Well, you got it. Get in here."
She worries for her safety as she walks into the mansion.
"So what will my duties be, sir?"
"You are a housemaid. You will supervise the other servants and make sure they do their duties properly. If not, send them my way and they will receive the proper punishment."
"What would the punishment be, sir?"
"The usual, more work and other things."
"Alright." She didn't question more and went inside.
The next few months leading to her due date were extremely stressful for her as she saw people whipped and beaten. She saw her master nearly kill several workers as they tried to "discipline" them. She was the victim of this aggression after she didn't finish her duties one day. Soon this became a daily thing and after she gave birth to her daughter Fiesty it continued.
When Fiesty turned 3 she started working and cleaning the house alongside the other workers. She was born with purple hair and eyes just like her mother but she got her skin tone from her father who her mom said left her before she was born. Seeing her daughter the master began giving her hard work and impossible for her tasks. When she fails at doing her task he tortures her and makes her mom watches as he tears her clothes off and whips her bare back and legs. Scarring her and makes her stand with her hands over her head facing the wall as he cuts her back designing art on her back making her bleed heavily. Her mom sobs seeing her baby girl cry out in pain. She sobs wishing she never came here.
Over the years the beatings and whippings got worse. Some days he would take them and hide them away for days as punishment for not doing their job. No one but the victims knows what happens there and one day Fiesty found out what happens there. Having been 10 at this point she knows to stay silent while being drug away from her source of protection: her mother. Reaching her destination she found herself in a room where there's only the light from the window to the outside. But that window was covered in bars and very thick glass to prevent escape. This tells her this is the mystery days punishment. She tells herself she better get used to it since she won't know how long she'll be there. There was a table with cuffs covered with blood as she's ordered to lay on it. She follows his orders and lays on the table. He cuffs her to the table and she watches him as he grabs shears, pliers, hammers, knives, among many various torture tools. She fears what he's about to do and tries to find a happy place to deal with this. But the moment he pulls her hair and slams her head into the table she passes out. When she wakes up she's in excruciating pain. Her legs and torso hurt and her head are pounding against her skull. She sees blood all over her and her master stands there preparing a branding iron. She begins to sob and scream as he presses it against her skin on her back. She stays conscious this time but she begs and pleads for anything to knock her out. But this time he makes her stay up and stay awake. He shoots her up with adrenaline and she cries as the pain becomes mind-numbing. The only thought going through her mind is PLEASE HELP ME! Her mind is screaming but no one can hear her.
"Scream all you want, no one will hear you."
"P-P-Please... L-L-Let me... go..."
"Oh, that's sweet. You think I'll listen to you. But I will bring someone you love here to see you." The master leaves for a few minutes and soon she hears her mothers words of concern for her and she begins to cry of happiness.
"Mom! Mom! Mommy, please! Please help me!"
He brings her mom in and sits her down in front of her. Seeing her daughter half naked, branded, and bloody she cries out in horror. The master goes and grabs pliers and knives stabbing them into her back. Fiesty screams out in pain as her mother sobs for her. He begins pulling out her teeth and fingernails cutting her fingers and slashing her face. She sobs and he grabs her mom pushing her down on the ground grabbing a knife and pinning her mother down. He begins to stab her and she coughs up blood staring at her daughter. After a few minutes, she begins to tell her how much she loves her and slowly dies.
After her mother's death, she becomes numb and walks around as a ghost. She stops feeling anything and does everything like a robot, mindlessly. She's on autopilot as she's once again brought back into the room where her mother died and lays back down on the table. He repeats his actions like before and she has no emotion and doesn't scream and does every single thing he asks of her. The hours pass and he rapes her, tortures her beyond belief and she lays there remembering her mom and everything she ever did for her. Soon after a day or two, he lets her go.
Once she finds herself in the yard she runs and keeps running until she finds herself into the next town. She looks around and searches for anyone to help her. She begs them and they tell her about this mystery man who takes in abused people and helps them out. She asks them for any information about his whereabouts and they tell them about a random house in the forest they found when on a walk. She runs to the house and bangs on the door. She hears the sounds of words and movement and the door opens.
"May I help you?"
"I heard you were someone who helps people out who are being abused. Can you help me?"
The man nods and brings her in and helps her settle in.
