Bloody Living

Prologue "Pitter patter" came the sound of the rain as it rained cat and dog on the roof of houses in Goldenrain. Esmerelda walked faster in the rain to avoid the rain damaging the potatoes she stole for her sickly mother. She walked through the alleys and eventually got to the extreme of the city where she lived. On arriving she heard voices inside the house and brushed it off as her mother's customers as usual. She opened the door and was met with the scene of her mother on her knees with a gun placed in her mouth. Esmerelda at the small age of 8 years old was more mature than others thought her to be. She had begun to tend to herself and her sick mother since the young age of five and had to pilfer and steal to feed herself and her mother. She understood the scene before her perfectly and as she looked on, the trigger was pulled, everything blurred except the scene before her. She saw her fall lifelessly like a sack of potato. She looked on for a while and looked on to the face of her mother's murderer. He turned the gun to her but before he could pull the trigger, something caught his attention behind her and he jumped out of the window. Esmerelda was shocked and cold as well as sad because the only person that mattered to her had been killed and she was alone in the world. What caught the attention of the murderer was the vendor she stole from. The vendor on witnessing the scene took the little girl to the orphanage in the city. Esmerelda was happy for one thing, she remembered the face of her mother's murderer and with that thought she shut off every emotion and focused on one thing, to avenge the death of her mother. She made up her mind to do anything to ensure that her mother's life was avenged even if she has to live a bloody life.
