Serenity Within (Seven Deadly Sinners #1)

Chapter 2

PHARAOH

"LET GO of me, bastard!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I struggle to freed myself from their tight grip but nothing happened as they forcefully drag me somewhere.

Damn! F*ck them! The anger they made me feel is outrageous; it is excruciatingly painful that I can feel it in every bit of my flesh. F*ck! How dare them!

Pwersahang hinihila nila ako papasok sa isang madilim na kwarto habang hindi nagsasalita. They are much stronger than I am so struggling won't do me any good. I'm wasting energy. Nagulat pa ako nang bigla na lang nila akong tinulak papasok sa loob at ni-lock pa ang pinto!

"Let me go!" I shouted but no one responded. Hinampas ko ang pinto pero nakaalis na sila.

I bit my lower lip to suppress myself from bursting into tears. The pain and helplessness I feel is so unfair that it left a huge scar on my shattered soul and dignity. The endless emptiness, the feeling of being lost to somewhere I'm not familiar with. Everything is just too much for me to handle that it felt like I'm losing my mind as well.

After they mercilessly killed my beloved family, they kidnapped me.

"Miss, kailangan mo nang maligo." Rinig kong may mahinang nagsalita sa likod ko kaya nagpunas muna ako ng luha bago humarap doon sa babaeng nagsalita.

Nanlulumo ako sa mga nangyayari. How dare them do this to us? I-I saw it. I saw how they killed my parents, right in front of me. It is utterly devastating to have witness something that will certainly haunt me, even in my dreams.

I'm confused, but I have to stand on my feet and take courage to be strong. To be brave. This isn't the time to be weak. Weakness isn't even one of the choices. My family didn't raise me as a weak person but to hell with everything that those people have done, I will make them feel my agony.

I need justice for them. I'll bring justice to my parents whom they killed without mercy, and without any hesitation.

This is nothing. I can do this.

"M-Miss..." Nagsalita ulit 'yung babae kaya napatingin ako sa kan'ya.

Mukha siyang utusan dito at natatakot sa akin, maging sa reaksyon ko. Nakapang-maid din ang uniform na suot niya.

Anong gagawin nila sa'kin?

"What?"

"M-Maligo na po kayo... ito ang damit." Inabot niya pa sa akin 'yung hawak niyang dress.

What? Bakit maliligo pa?

Nilibot ko naman ang paningin sa buong lugar. Kwarto siya pero dim lang ang ilaw at eleganteng tignan. Mukhang mayaman ang may ari dahil sa nakita kong mamahaling chandelier.

"What for?" I asked, sounds pissed.

Napatingin din ako sa damit ko na nadumihan ng putik at puro bahid ng dugo. Ilang araw din akong nagtago sa kanila pero nahuli pa rin ako.

"Miss, sumunod ka na lang. Ako ang malalagot. Please?" Pakiusap niya pa na halos magmakaawa kaya natigilan ako.

Fine.
