I haven't seen Mimi since she left this afternoon and it's weird I haven't seen the other 2 girls that usually tend to me. They're probably busy managing the place since he is going to be gone for 3 days and I blow out the candle and went to sleep.
I wake up and Mimi still haven't come. I wonder if she is she sick but that can't be it since she's not even human anymore. He told me that since they are sacrificed they are no longer human but are spirit, and they have to serve him until he dies. If he doesn't then they'll keep serving him for eternity. I feel really bad for them, sacrifices cannot be reincarnated, and they are suffering all because of their evil ancestor Lord Ma. There's a knock on the door, I open it and it's Mimi."There you are, I've been looking for you." I said to her with a smile.
"What do you need me for." Mimi say in an annoyed tone.
I'm not sure what I did to upset her, but I'm kind of startled by her tone. She was so soft spoken yesterday but now she's like this. Maybe something went wrong for her yesterday or probably this morning.
"Oh umm there's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you."
Mimi was putting food on the table and turned to look at me with a very annoyed face. She took in a deep breath and smile as she tells me to eat. This is all too weird, is she annoyed with me or is she not.
"I'll stay here with you because master is gone." Mimi said to me.
I offer her to eat with me since she's staying with me but she declined. Every morning when I eat with him, we'll always chat and so I decide to chat with Mimi. She didn't sound like she wanted to chat with me but she still answered my questions. Turns out Mimi was the first sacrifice which mean that she is the daughter of the first Lord Ma. So if every 118 years a sacrifice happens and there needed to be 118 sacrifice, and this year was the last sacrifice so she has been here for 13,924 years and she was only 21 that time which mean that she is 13,945 years old. This is crazy she is old this means that he might even be older. I finished eating and kept asking her questions but she doesn't look very please with me for asking questions about him. I feel really tired and somehow things are starting to look very blurry.
"Mimi... are things getting blurry for you too?"
"It's finally working." Mimi said with much excitement.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I got up from the table to go to my bed so I can take a rest.
Because things were now so blurry I couldn't see and trip on the chair. In the background I can hear Mimi's evil giggle, I can feel Mimi walking closer to me and then Mimi grabs me by my hair and pulls my head back.
"I'm sick and tired of you, why did you have to come, why are you the only one that is given attention to, why does he only love you when I've been here for so long, why does he only spend time with you, why does he only touch you, why does he only smile for you, why is it not me, I hate you do you hear me I hate you!" Mimi yells at me full of rage. "I'll make it so that he'll never see you again!"
"Mimi stop you're hurting me." I exclaimed and Mimi laughs out hysterically sounding like a psychopath.
"This is a little compare to how much my heart was hurt!" Mimi scream at me. "Come in!" Mimi yells out.
I can hear footsteps coming into the room I look at the door and all I can see is two blurry figures, I couldn't make out the faces and then I fell unconscious. I wake up and see that my right ankle has been chained up. I don't know where I'm at, it's like a shed. and just then the door open and Mimi and two other girls walks in; one of the girl is Lucy and the other is Alice they were missing yesterday too. They walk to me and sit me in a chair then tied me to it and Lucy and Alice rolls in the jar of water. Mimi gesture with her hand and then the girls push my head into the jar of water and then pulls me out for a bit and then dunk my head into the water again. This went on for a bit and I was not getting enough oxygen I thought I was going to faint.
"That's enough." Mimi said sternly.
The two girls stops and as I was gasping for air Mimi walks over and slaps me across the face and it hurts so bad.
"We'll come back later." Mimi said.
Mimi must have love him a lot to do this, but this is just wrong. Later that night Mimi and the girls didn't return and with a little relief I fell asleep . Mimi and the girls did not come in he morning and it's getting dark already so I thought Mimi was not coming, but I heard the door getting unlock and Mimi they walks inside. Lucy and Alice untie me from the chair and push me to the ground as Mimi walks over to me and pulls me by my hair laughing evilly.
"This is not even a tenth of pain that I feel, you'll suffer worse and then I'll kill you tomorrow before master come."
Mimi pulls on my chain and then gets up and pulls out the key from her sleeve waving it at me. I get up and lunge at her as she put the key back into her sleeve; Mimi fell to the ground and I start hitting Mimi. The two girls pull me off Mimi and hold my arms and as Mimi got up she picks up a wooden stick at the corner of the room and walking towards me. I head bump Alice and she let go of my right arm to touch her head then I punch Lucy and she fell to the ground. Mimi swings the wooden stick at my head and I was able to dodge it a little as the corner of the stick strike the right side of my forehead and it starts bleeding. Good thing I didn't take the full hit or I might have had a concussion. I my forehead is bleed like crazy and I am mad so I punch Mimi and she fell to the ground.
"Mimi stop you don't have to do this!" I yell at her as the two girls grabs me as the struggle to free myself.
Mimi got up and smack me in the face and grabs me by the chin harshly and yelled, "If I can't have him, you cannot either! I will kill you tonight instead of tomorrow! Let's go!"
The girls let go of me and Mimi pushes me to the ground and they left and locked the door. I'm not sure where they are going but it's not going to be good when they come back. Good thing my ankle chain is long enough for me to almost reach the door but I couldn't break lose of the chain and give up. I fell on to the ground feeling hopeless and decided that this must be fate or something. I look around one less time on the ground to look for something to pick at the lock, and just as I was about to give up again I saw something shiny between the jar of water near the door where Mimi fell. I got up and start walking towards the door but the chain was not long enough to reach it. I lay down and it was perfect I just stretched my arm a bit and I was able to reach it. It is the key that Mimi was waving around in my face, it must have fell out of her sleeve during the chaos. I unlock myself and tired to open the door but it was lock, so I run and kick the door with all my strength and it wouldn't open. I kept kicking and then finally the door broke open.
