The beloved of a Lord

"No" the voice came choked and agonized, not exactly the kind of tone usually heard from a five years old girl, she kept on begging while on the cold floor, quickly crawling to reach the priest's foot only to receive a strong kick that sent her flying to the wall... "Please STOP, please, I'll do anything, just please let him go, Please" She begged, ignoring the pain that was splitting her back and only focusing on the two years old boy under the priest's heavy foot, the boy's face was full of blood and bruises while life was long gone from his innocent face, deep down inside her, she knew he was gone, even at such a young age she was too familiar with death, but this boy, he was like her little brother, how can she simply accept the fact that he was gone for good? "You should have thought of this earlier little cunt" , and with that, the priest cracked the little boy's head like an egg shell, making the girl scream in horror "NOOOOOOOO!!!" Elena woke up in her bed, cold sweat covering all of her body, her golden eyes shining in the darkness with tears, her delicate body shaking violently, she was sure she locked these memories away, it was hard, very hard actually to let go of the past sorrows and move on, there was a time when she wanted to just end her own life, be done with all the running and pretending, but she survived, and kept on going, day by day, until the past ghosts stopped hunting her... She stretched and decided to go out of her bed, it was near dawn, and it was in no way safe to leave her house now, the night had many horrible things lurking between it shadows, she thought while preparing herself a warm cup of tea, this world she lived in, was one of monsters, everyone was a monster in a way, there were many species living together, first the humans, who compared to others were considered the greatest population, together they represented more than half of all the habitats of the world, the humans were fragile but yet they were considered somehow lucky, for the simplicity of their lives, unlike other creatures... The world was also a home for vampires, werewolves, witches, hybrids, and many others, living together in forced harmony since it became clear to all that they needed each other to survive.. In order to maintain the peace, the lands were devised into seven empires, three of em were human lands, one for vampires, one for werewolves, one for witches and the last was the middle land where all the species lived together, the middle land or Centria had the smallest surface compared to others but it was the liveliest, not only because of the diversity of population but also because it was where the Heptagon, a council formed by representatives of all the seven lands to keep peace and order in between the lands, the lands on the other hand were ruled by Lords Elena was pulled back from her thoughts when she heard birds singing outside her house, indicating it is time for her to head to work, in the past few years, she worked in many jobs, stealing was one of them, she was not proud of it but she had no other way to survive back then, little by little she obtained herself a spot as a nurse in the local infirmary, it was a humble job to her, she knew she was capable of more but extra attention wasn't something she needed, nevertheless, she did her job perfectly gaining herself a good reputation and a place in the hearts of people who once mistreated her and insulted her, she never blamed them though, it is not that everyday a girl with no past, no background and no family shows up in town, at first the people thought she was a disguised witch but after testing her blood it appeared to be as normal as any human's, so the only explanation left for them was that the girl run away from her family after committing the sin of adultery, such sins were not accepted by the common folks, a woman's chastity was not just her greatest possession but the family's sign of honor and good manners, Elena never cared to clear out their suspicions though, she was actually glad that they came up with such a dumb explanation rather than go dig in her past... The past, this word scared her so much, like a nightmare you keep on living every time and hardly manage to wake up from, she frowned a bit, why? why would she dream about her past after so many years?
