  (N.) a strong feeling of hate towards a person, usually having existed for a long period of time

   Labyrinth jerked awake as he hair was yanked upward, causing her to fall onto the ice-cold floor.

"Why weren't you up by 5:15?" Ma'am sneered at Labyrinth. Labyrinth had always longed for a mother's hug, a mother's comfort, but because she thought it cowardly to continue her life she found it rather unlikely.

  "I-I apologize Ma'am it will never happen a-again," Labyrinth said trying her best to sound emotionless. She had no reason to call that thing mother. She lost both her compassion and respect for this woman the moment Ma'am first laid her filthy hands on her. Although Labyrinth hated Ma'am, Labyrinth feared her, and that was enough to fuel the beast's comments.

  "Are you not grateful enough for the food I buy, for the clothes that lay upon your back, for the little food I give you?" Ma'am roared at Labyrinth. Labyrinth's ribs were very visible through her shirt, her back littered with scars, as the rags she wore barely covered them.

  Labyrinth had always wondered why she would stay in such conditions with such an evil person, but when she flinched away from Ma'am's hard callused hand that collided with her right cheek, she knew why.

  Labyrinth continued to scream,cry, and beg for mercy, but Ma'am kept going,hearing her pleads as ammunition.

  "I wish you had never been born!" Ma'am shouted with all her might. This statement took the cake for all the terrible things Labyrinth had heard come out her mouth. This statement snapped something within Labyrinth, her sanity, like a thin twig bearing 50 pound weights.

  Labyrinth started to laugh, as tears streamed down her face and metallic-smelling liquid dripped down the corner of her mouth. No longer feeling the unforgiving blows, she continued to laugh at the tears that streamed down her face. Laughed at how she allowed that woman to completely ruin her. Yes, Labyrinth feared Ma'am, but she hoped, Ma'am would love her, care for her, show her mercy, how wrong Labyrinth was and for that she laughed. But, most of all Labyrinth laughed at how foolish she was, and for that the beast joined in on the laughter, laughing at all her failures, agreeing with her in the most animalistic way possible.

" Whats so funny? Are you mocking me? I'll show you!" Ma'am roared at the hysterical girl snort-laughing in front of her. The fact Labyrinth no longer feared her angered her more than anything Labyrinth could have ever done.

Ma'am stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Only to return with a belt. Labyrinth stared at the belt unamused, and continued to laugh a forced humorless one. Just as Ma'am was a out send the belt crashing against Labyrinth's back, Labyrinth starter to mutter.

"I-If you wish for me to die, then kill me. Please." Labyrinth stuttered out. She was tired. Too tired. And she was begging. Begging for death. She could not bring herself to do the deed of bringing death to her door step, but she could get someone else to do the job for her. Someone else who wanted to do the job.

 You're so pathetic. The Beast cackled.

"You dare talk back to me. Come here." Ma'am stated calmly. She had been calm with Labyrinth once, and she still had the limp to this day.

"K-K-Kill me. You've taken everything else from me. What's my life? T-Take it. Please." Labyrinth erupted into broken laughter. Tears streaming down her face. 

Ma'am was taken aback by labyrinth's sudden unsubmissive nature. It angered her. She wanted to feel powerful, in Labyrinth's eyes she was and that was good enough for her. But now Labyrinth was no longer scared, she wanted peace, and that made Ma'am furious

Ma'am charged at Labyrinth, tackling her to the ground, bruising Labyrinth's hip,  wrapping her hands around her neck. Labyrinth closed her eyes.

Her hearing started to fade out, only leaving the sound of slight ringing. Black dots starting to cloud her vision.

BANG.

Ma'am let go of Labyrinth's neck, causing her to take in rigid breaths, her throat burning, trying to regain her breathing.

'Coward,' The Beast snickered at her ' You're presented with the opportunity to end your miserable, worthless life and you don't take it. You idiot. You worthless fucking idiot.

Labyrinth chuckled darkly. She knew she was an idiot, she felt like one, but almost dying made her realize something. She still wanted to die. She still wanted to be at peace, a deprivation she had suffered at the pure malice of Ma'am. She had felt anger. She knew what true anger was, but she felt this knew emotion. It was a rattling in her bones. A thirst. A craving for something she needed to quench this thing she felt. 

 Labyrinth threw her head back in laughter at her realization. She lusted for blood. That's the thing that would satisfy her crumbling soul. She felt a bloodlust stronger than any other and she had every intention of satisfying it. And she knew whose blood would drip from her hands as she hacked her apart, or maybe even skinning her alive, or burning her over a stove one finger at a time until the house was filled with the retched smell of burning flesh.

  Labyrinth's laughter slowed down to a demonic chuckle as she thought of her plan. The Beast silenced.  For even he could see no one could retrieve her sanity at this point.

How was the chapter?

I promise the chapters will be longer.

The  female main characters won't have a love interest. This story isn't about love its about loving yourself, and feeling worthy/ like a boss ass bitch.
