🎑✖A Day in the Life of a Nightmare✖🎑 (dark Deception AU)

A Regret In Time(Crypt's backstory)

Was I always this way?

I hated that man. I hated that woman. I hated them. Why won't they go away.

It's two-thirty. The clock is ticking softly. I'm standing across the kitchen. 

"Charisma, what is this?" Father pointed to a photo of a boy my age, 10, crying. He had scratches all over his face. I shivered to the sick feeling I had in my stomach.

"I told you so many times...stop disgracing our family. Your brother is better than you, your sister is better than you, even your missing cousin was better than you. Do you always have to be this ignorant. I guess there's no other way to teach you other than pain itself..And I thought only your body was sick and twisted."

He pulled a dagger to his side.

"Your mother has beaten you enough for you head to understand, Charisma."

I stepped back from him.

"Now, You know the drill...three stabs.."

"..times two.." I mumbled.

"That is six stabs.. Now lie down on your stomach."

I did.

I felt pain. My body hurt a lot. Six slashes to the back. 

So after that I ran to my room and cried. I stopped crying when I saw something out my window.

CHILD.

See this woman shining in the light. A brave smile with delight. She told me she has known of my problems. So she said..

COME WITH ME.

What will my parents say? They might stab me again. They might rip out another fingernail.  But I had a choice.

I could be free, or I could suffer.

I chose to suffer. I didn't know this woman. I couldn't risk leaving. I may have a ruthless mean family, but they're my family. 

I'm so sorry... I cant leave this hellhole.

Then next to that woman, I couldn't believe what I saw. It was my missing cousin Phillip. I almost cried. He still had the same bright smile from five years ago. Why was he here, and who was this woman?

"Please, take me with you. I don't want to die." I cried softly. I reached out to Phillip. "Please.."

He reached to me and I realized something. That was the same woman who I saw take Phillip five years ago. She must be the altar from the Story of Deception. So I refused and walked away slowly only to be hit a nearby wall. Since I was hit and beat to the core, I fainted.

I opened my eyes to a height of death.

That woman was carrying me, gliding through the air, along with Phillip. We then vanished and everything went black. 

I AM BEIRCE.

Huh?

YOU SEEM TO HAVE CONNECTED POWER TO PHILLIP.

Ugh. My head.

WELCOME TO THE BALLROOM...

WELCOME TO YOUR DARK DECEPTION...

CHARLIE CRYPT..

No. It's Charlie Charisma.

NOT ANYMORE CHILD.
