Book I - Chapter 6

The little girl starts to flutter her eyes. It was her way to adjusted it. And that’s when she felt the presence. She catch the hands on whoever is trying to stir her in her sleep. She could tell a negative vibe in front of her. She look up. She wasn’t phase in what this women was trying to do.

The women took notice the demeanor of her daughter. It wasn’t the same as before. Before she saw fear is what the women saw in her daughter. Now; with one look; the women back away. She could feel a chill run down her spine when she looked at her daughter a second time.

‘ A swift change in the air here has come. It is time for this country to change ‘. The little girl says in a bare whisper. But; it was enough for her mother to eat it. Her gaze towards the women was too much for the women. To the women; it was like her daughter could see the recess of her soul. There was a secret that hasn’t told her husband yet. And this was a concerning matter.

The women doesn’t know that someone else is controlling her daughter’s body. It may be her daughter Ichigo’s body. But; mentally; it was someone else. The women could see seriousness in her daughter’s expression. The women never heard her daughter ever calling her mommy. Nor daddy to her husband. She shake that thought off.

The women walked out of the airplane once the airplane hit the floor. The little girl didn’t bring much. When the little girl walked out of the airplane; she felt a shift into the atmosphere. The wind welcome her to a new city. She was only three-years-old.

She finally catch up with her mother from behind. It was her first time walking on the stairs. She didn’t rush it. She walk gracefully. The people look up at her. They were surprised. They never saw an extreme beautiful little girl coming down on the stairs. They look at the women standing in front of her. They also start to think they aren’t related to each other. Not until what they have heard.

“ Come on daughter. I don’t want you to go missing “. The middle age women spoke out loud for anyone to hear. The little girl tries not to roll her eyes. She knew what her mother was up to. And she doesn’t want to cause a scene. Because; if she did; her mother would tell people she’s crazy. When in reality; the little girl wasn’t crazy at all.

The animals come over to the little girl when they were about to walk. They were surrounded by animals. Like dogs and cats that other humans own. The little girl could tell her mother doesn’t love animals. These dogs and cats approach the girl. The little girl; on the other hand; she gave people a warm smile.

She could see all the negative energy from the people. When these people saw her; the girl could see it leaving from their bodies. And these negative energies went into her bodies. These people the girl didn’t know felt calm. “ Uhm it seems our dogs and cats love you. It seem they want you to pet them. Would you do it please? “ Everyone says it at the same time.

The little girl tries to approach it. But her mother grab her hands. She grip it hard. Deep within the little girl she starts to growl lowly at her. Her eyes were deadly as she look up at the women. To the little girl; she thought of the women as nothing but a stranger. The little girl didn’t recognize her as her mother even though she’s her biological mother. It’s what she was been told.

The women step back a little. She starts to shaken in fear. Even when it comes to her daughter. She tries not to embarrass herself. Since, she felt a warm liquid trailing down her leg. In other words; she piss herself when she was feeling afraid towards her daughter. But; she tries not to show it on her face.

My human. It seem we are the only one that isn’t normal. I don’t sense anything from your mother. So that means she is just a mere human. I could easily break her neck for you if you want me to. Violetta says to the little girl. She only sigh. For just a little girl; she grip her mother’s wrist hard. The women felt the pain and she let go.

The little girl kneel down. When she does so, the variety of dogs and cats approach her. The little girl pet these animals. And it seem like they are all trying to mark her. Marking only by their scent. “ Wow I couldn’t believe it. Our dogs and cats never were like this. They are very obedient. What’s your trick? “. Everyone spoke to the little girl one-by-one.

The little girl raise her head up. She was in deep thought. And Violetta starts giggling in her mind. After a few minutes; she rise up off the floor. And these animals went back to their owner. The humans thank the little girl and they left.

Things get hectic the moment the women and her get to their house. Since, the women, her husband and son were living in San Francisco. Her hair starts to flutter into the wind. It was a beautiful hair color. No one ever saw it before. It was a passionate hair color that resembles strawberries. Her hair was naturally straight. Her beauty outshines any women out there. She was too young to wear makeup. But, the little girl knew about it.

It didn’t take long for them. The women pretends to smile. And she act like nothing happened. And they finally reach their destination. It was a middle class house. It wasn’t that great. Because; there is only two rooms available and one bathroom. The little girl didn’t feel any welcome towards her parents and brother. Since; they were away of public eyes.

The women told her husband about the misfortune she experienced. And her husband takes out his anger onto the little girl. The boy who was her brother didn’t do anything about it. He just stands there next to his mother. The man kick the little girl a lot. It starts from the arms, the legs, stomach, etc. When this happened, the bruises shows up on her beautiful skin. The bruises turned blue, purple and black.

“ How dare you b***h of a daughter of mine to embarrass me in front of people when we came here?! “. The women who calls herself ‘ mother ‘ says to the little girl. She also starts to vent her stress onto the women. Not knowing that their actions are being recorded. The little girl wasn’t stupid. She hid the camera somewhere only she could see. The two adults takes out their frustration out onto her.

“ You will not eat anything. I will not feed you until you apologize to your mother for what you did “. The man says to the little girl. They continue to berated her verbally. The bruises continued to be red. Liquid trail down from the little girl’s mouth. It starts to bleed from her arms and leg. These two adults starts laughing. They were having fun. They continue to use their daughter as a punching bag. And they also starts to make their daughter starve themselves.

The little girl didn’t scream. Nor did she cry. She hold it in. Because; if she show any sign of weakness her parents will punish her for no reason. They start to neglect the little girl. And when they do this; they didn’t know that bad things happen to both of them. The man wasn’t working because he was old. Like a grandpa. Whereas the women is still young in her 30s.

They felt satisfied. And night fall came. They both went to sleep. The boy who look like an angel to his parents turn into a devil in disguise. He walk towards the girl. Who is his sister. His feet was close to her face. He also starts to punch and kick her too just like their parents did. When he felt like he was happy; he lift her up by her neck and off the floor. The girl didn’t resist.

She allow her parents and brother to do this. Which is the start of a physical abuse. The boy tighten his grip around her neck. Not until her lips turn blue for a while. “ I’m going to make your life hell b***h. You’re no sister of mine. You don’t even look like our mother and father. You’re just a stranger to me “. The boy said to the little girl as he lean close to one of her ears.

After that, the boy went to the bathroom to clean himself up. He tries to make sure not to leave any traces of his action back to him. Even though he wasn’t aware of him being recorded. He left the little girl on the floor heavily bleeding. Everyone was sleeping. The girl fainted into darkness.
