( A REASON TO DIE)
NOEL INNOCENT
CHAPTER FIVE : SUICIDE ATTEMPT 1 (PERSONAL TUTOR)
Little lily remain quiet while being dragged to what Lord Mammon refer to as a dungeon, it was the first time she heard such words, is it like cleaning a room?, Will it be difficult.
Someone at an age sixteen am pretty dull, I never attended school, my mother taught me how to read before she left, placing me in my aunty care, aside that I know nothing of this world.
We stop in a huge building, that is painted black and scary, for some reason I don’t want to go in ” move it ” Asodeus growl and I realized that I stop moving even when he pull.
Shaking my head, tears threaten to fall ” I don’t want to ”
” Move before I hit you ” he look so huge, with red short hair, dark scary eyes ” you should know the Lord is not someone a child like you should joke with, you should fear him…… This will teach you a lesson ”
” Mr please don’t ” he didn’t listen to my plead, rather he lift me up, throw me over his shoulder as we step into the dungeon, everywhere dark, he lift me off his shoulder and let me fall.
” You will use your hand in picking the bones, every single bone should be picked and throw away, if am to return and find any ” Asodeus frown ” I will kill you!!!” Tears flow down freely as I watch him leave me alone in the dark, I couldn’t see a thing but I know I have to start cleaning.
Instead of walking I knee down to crawl, gently picking the bones into a huge bucket I found laying on the floor, I remain in here for hours, it seem like they is no end to the dungeon, I kept moving forward till I heard screams, terrible screams and a glimpse of light.
Someone is in there.
Standing to my feet, I move till the event happening unfold in my every eyes, I didn’t dare to move anymore, I watch how baron punish a young woman, his eyes look so thirsty for blood as he cut down her body piece by piece, her eyes, tongue, each of her finger.
Her screams increase, so did his smile, is this what they do in a dungeon, they kill people as they see fit?
Moving back I mistakenly step on a bone, his gaze quickly move to mine and he stop smiling or moving ” sorry!” I mumble before running away, out of the dungeon with the bucket of bones I have collected.
Leaving the bucket outside of the dungeon I ran to miss Clara quarter, into the bathroom, trying to wash that image out of my head, the king is not as nice as the rumor said.
He is scary.
Scary and evil.
Must be why he can never give a real smile ” I want to leave!” Crying I hug my knee to myself in the tub ” mother why did you leave, why did you leave me all alone in this word, don’t you love me?” Sobbing I mumble words I have only said in my mind until now.
It’s been a year since that incident in the dungeon, I have avoid the king presence , made sure I don’t see him, made sure I learn different things, try to stop being naive.
” Miss Clara ” closing the book she recently bought for me I asked ” being a concubine is not a good offer after all, I thought I will be of high status never knowing I will be on the lowest” looking at her I then un-derstand the look she gave me the first time we met, years back ” it’s more like a harlot, sleeping with a married man ”
” My dear lily ”
” I don’t want to do this miss Clara ” sitting on the bed we both share I cry ” I don’t want this for myself ”
” You don’t have a choice, Your parents brou-ght…..”
” I don’t have one ” I stand to my feet ” my parents are dead and I will be dead soon ” not waiting for her to process what I said, I run out of her quarters, the moon still shining bright, the palace is known to be huge but they is always an end road for everything.
At the back they is a cliff, a cliff that I will use to end my life and then maybe, just maybe I will live a happy life when I reincarnate.
Running throu-ghthe forest at the back of the palace, I didn’t stop until I arrive at my destination, I stop for a minute to catch my breath before I then move to the edge, the wind blow and I smile knowing this will be the end, end of everything.
” It’s been five minutes” hearing a voice behind me I frown ” if you can’t jump, I will be delighted to push you”
” Do you plan on killing me!” I growl before turning around to realize that it’s the king, his hair falling all over his face and body as he stand un-der the moonlight, his hands place at his behind.
” I thought this is you jumping off the cliff and dying ”
” Yes but you pushing me changes everything!” I growl, knowing fully well I will jump after all these ” I have no idea why you’re out of your majesty chamber but you should know this ” lifting my hands I point at him ” I hate you the moment you sent me to that dungeon, I never stop having nightmares ” this however made him smile.
” Ohhh” Lord Mammon seem amazed ” that must be why you fled my presence every chance you got ”
” You noticed ”
” Am not blind ” he frown ” however I found that very pleasant, you however needed to learn a lesson, the dungeon did a marvelous job ”
” I was sixteen milord!”
” Now you’re seventeen, ready to die ” I watch him bite an apple I had no idea he was holding ” don’t let my presence stop you, go ahead…. I will just enjoy the view”
” View of my death?” I frown at him ” one more thing my Lord, I do not wish to be your concubine ”
” You’re going to be dead soon anyway ”
” My Lord” I growl and he title his head to his left ” I hope you perish in hell ” he nod then smile.
” I will ” I watch sadness in his eyes but as fast has it came, it disappeared, I do not care……closing my eyes I jump, I felt the wind on my face, knowing this will be the end.
This is the end.
Minutes pa-ssed and I realized am still alive, opening my eyes I look around, am on air, hang, not moving or falling. Turning around I stare at Lord Mammon who has no Expression on his face, his gaze seem cold.
” Do you think I will permit my possession to die ?” With a flic-k of his finger, the wind pull me really close to him, he used his right hand to cu-p my face ” you belong to me lily, your life, your soul and even your body is mine!” His eyes seem scary ” you do not have the permission of dying unless I kill you myself”
” Then do so!!” I growl, tears dropping from my eyes ” I rather die than stay here ”
” Is that so ” his hand around my face ti-ghten ” you have always have the tendency to talk back at me, maybe I need to tutor you ”
” Tutor me?”
He smile, not fake but evil ” you’re to be my concubine lily, you have one year left, shouldn’t I teach you how to treat a man of my status ”
” I refuse ”
” You do not have an option ”
” I do ” crying I try fighting back ” I will not accept such a thing ”
” If I recall back, I remember you asking me to teach you the act of love making ”
Releasing her from my spell, she fall down, her hair lose from the low ponytail, falling all over her face and shoulder, she use her hand to push it off her face and I watch her eyes widen and face heat up from embarra-ssment ” I never said that, you must have heard wrong milord” she avert her gaze from mine.
” I came here for peace of mind but that has been once again ruin because of you lily ” looking down at her I frown ” your existence alone is an annoying thing ”
” Then let me die ” she growl and I bend down to her level, made sure our face is super close, I could hear her heart beat increase from fear, she actually did grow to fear me.
” It’s annoying but entertaining” smiling I lean closer, the moment our nose touch she flinch which got me smiling, how entertaining, how interesting ” you should get use to this lily, I mean very soon you will be laying beneath me…. don’t you think so ”
” I thought am an eyesore milord ” she frown and I smile
” Oh you are ” standing to my feet, I nod ” eyesore but amusing” that was my last word before leaving her in that forest, I have a feeling that my days will get more interesting.
How intriguing.
