Chapter 1 - Prolong

Ever since I was little, I was always ignored. By my father, by my brothers even by our servants. My mother died after giving birth to me, they say it was an illness and had she not been pregnant, she wouldn't have caught it so easily. I dont think that's true but it was enough for my father to believe and hate me for causing her to die. He just wanted someone to blame, I think they all did. Everyone in our mansion only ever said how nice and beautiful she was. I believe she was loved very deeply…unlike the daughter she birthed. You would think, being the last piece of her, I would be an unbelievably precious treasure, however that couldn't be further from the truth. I was given the bare minimum to live as a baby, but after I turned 3 and was able to walk and talk, it was like I died. No one paid attention to me no matter what I did. Crying, clinging, even hurting myself, all got me angry scowls and scolding. I was never once comforted and by the time I was 5, I was moved to a separate building annex, far away from my father and two brothers. I was given 5 maids who do nothing but steal from me and hurt me. I'm barely feed and hardly bathed, though, that's for the better, washing up in the cold near by river is a nightmare. I try my best to stay out of their sights, so they cant hurt me and over the years, I've memorized the mansions layout and even managed to find and create secret hiding places. It's funny, I lived my whole life being ignored by others, I begun to believe I really was invisible. That was until a year after moving into the annex, I managed to sneak some food and was eating it in my room, I thought it was safe since no ones has ever visited it before. Then I heard a couple of foot steps, and before i could hide, my bedroom door flung open, clear annoyance was painted on the two maids faces. It startled me so much, I couldn't even make a sounds, I was terrified what they'd do to me when they see I have stolen some stale bread. It was so frustrating! It was going to be thrown out anyway, had they not tossed away the squishy fruit out this morning, I would have waited until they thrown out the bread! However, I knew they wouldn't care, I squeezed my eyes shut and was preparing for the beating that was going to come.

"Ugh! I cant believe you lost that gold pocket watch, Brittney! I told you, if your going to take the items here, ya have to do it before you leave, that way this shit dont happen!" The maid with red hair and freckles scolds the other maid as she closed the door behind her.

"Its not my fault! I saw that bitch, Miya eyeing it! I couldn't let her have it, she already got the ruby necklace AND the diamond earrings! Theres no way in hell Ima let her have that emerald pocket watch as well, Kiki!" The other maid, with pale blue eyes and dirty blond curys, was frantically looking around the room.
