I make my way hurriedly down the porcelain steps, every step I took made an echo, and every time my feet made contact with the ground on the staircase the more I fear Sukuna can hear my every move.

I reach the door and pull it open, a gust of fresh air hitting my face filling my nose with excitement that I am almost free.

The street lights bringing life to my eyes, yet... As I am slowly falling to my feet and feeling the strings of darkness break free from my body there is one little boy I feel concerned for, but not just him, the maid too.

My feet rest onto the stone steps just outside the mansion in the dark. I turn around and look at the towering building, the wide opened doors show me the brightly lit enterence of the mansion.

I can't take Itadori with me, my family and I can barely make money now. I can't rely on Diana... I barely know her and she already puts all her faith into her job.

Which reminds me of how determined I am with my working, she's not the only one.

Sukuna's haunting character comes to mind, something that isn't human at all, a monster both mentally and physically.

I wince in discomfort holding my hands close to my chest.

What am I still doing here? I should be running, I feel like I am running out of time before someone comes for me.

I look up after feeling someone's gaze upon me, I see Sukuna with crossed arms behind a window glaring at me from above.

Rain starts pouring, drowning my clothes making goosebumps rise on my skin.

Diana starts sprinting towards me shouting "Miss! Wait!" I notice two guards closing in around the mansion.

I frantically gaze between all three people before deciding to break into a run.

I dash across the cobble road dodging carriages and horse riders.

I make it past many lamp posts and just made it across a train track, heading towards the closest forest where I am sure they can't find me.

I hear shouting behind me, my face turns pale, I look back to see flashing lights, to my dismay my foot trips over a loose piece of cobble road and I tumble down a hill of sticks and wet floor.

My body is soaked in a small puddle, I slowly open my eyes and see some of the murky water has turned red.

My waist hurts more than the bruise I grew from that monster.

I still don't feel safe, I still have my adrenaline and the discomfort of not being entirely free yet.

I force my head to look down, bits of mud sticking to my head and body slowly giving me a disgusted feeling.

Then I finally see it, the crimson liquid seeping from my stomach, I hesitantly use my shaky cold fingers to lift my shirt so I can see it better.

The grotesque scene of a wide stick in my flesh and muscle, a clump of blood splashes into the water, I have never been so horrified.

Foot steps glide through the wet leaves, water drops patter on an umbrella.

Black shoes arrive in my vision, I slowly look up to see Sukuna, he asks softly with a disgusted expression "Give me a reason why I should help you bitch".

I slowly look back down and mutter "Just... Let me die", Sukuna sighs and says "That wouldn't be very entertaining".

He chucks his umbrella on the ground and kneels down into the mud.

He mumbles "I said I would ruin you" Sukuna rips the stick out, I scream feeling the entire area of the wound swelling and pulsing.

He presses his calloused hands against it, it is like I can grossly feel the wound knit itself back together and heal.

I cough up the muddy water I accidently swallowed, he snakes his arms under me and picks me up like his soon to be bride.

I ask "What about the umbrella?" Sukuna stares at it for a moment then says "It's pointless, always buy another one".

He starts to walk back up the hill, I notice his suit is still ripped and messy, our entire situation looks like a horror show.

I say "I know you are doing this because you still need me, you aren't doing this out of kindess".

He replies coldly "At least you are learning".

Sukuna enters the mansion, water trailing behind us in a path mixed with mud.

Diana worriedly exclaims "Mistress!" She was about to grab me until she remembers who is holding me, she takes a few steps back and bows blurting "H-Hello Sir!"

Sukuna scoffs "Run her a bath and give her proper clothes, do a good job this time and don't let her escape".

Diana nods, Sukuna sets me onto my feet and immediately strides off.

Diana catches me and carefully drags me back to my bedroom where the bathroom specifically for me is kept next door.

Diana helps me into an old fashioned dress requested in my favourite color and asks "What on earth were you doing out there!?"

I reply "I missed my family and friends", Diana says unhappily "You could have asked me Mistress! I would have taken you under security of course!"

I ask "Were you aware Sukuna is some sort of demon thing?" Diana falls silent, she continues to tighten my dress.

I ask angrily "Did you know?" She blurts "I did- but Miss, you have to stay, Itadori needs someone like you".

I snap "I can't live with his horrid father! Why didn't you ever take custody of Itadori and leave?"

Diana replies sadly "I can't, Sukuna would strip away all of my pay and I will be broke, he will ruin my life once I am free".

I ask concerned "Has he done that before?" She nods and says "It was to one of the cleaners he treated poorly".

I stand there feeling like a doll being made up just for Sukuna. This entire place isn't just torture for me, it's torture for everyone in it.
