Prologue

A girl with plum purple hair sat in her room. She had nothing to do other than sit inside it all day. Her pet Ferret Lulu kept on making noises through the cage.

"Quiet it down Lulu. Melanie's gonna kill you if…"

"Would you quiet that damn thing down!" said a tall woman with blonde hair and hazel eyes as she bursted in the room.

"Sorry. But it's not a thing….."

"Don't you dare talk back to me you piece of shit!" Melanie snapped.

Aliah kept her mouth shut to her abusive aunt.

"I raised you from a cold blooded murderer out there. You're lucky you're alive because he would've killed you. Well I wish." Melanie claimed.

"What a threat." Aliah thought to herself. She couldn't believe her own aunt would abuse her own ten year old niece like that. Daily, Aliah would get yelled at and tortured by her unloving Aunt Melanie.

"**Sigh**. If only Uncle Fritz were here to help me, then he would do something about it." Aliah said to Lulu. Lulu just did her chirp and went into a small den while Aliah just sat in her room watching the sunset tonight. All Aliah wanted was to be loved. Fritz is never there for her since he currently has a full time job of international travel.

"What to do…." Aliah said pacing back and forth in circles around her room.

She slumped on her bed sighing because she's bored. Nothing fun has ever happened in her life other than getting hit so many times. Aliah rolled the bottom of her shirt to look at her scar marks in the mirror, on her back once again. All she could do was cry at the sight of scars all over her back. She never bothered to tell Fritz about this because he's always too busy to even talk to Aliah. But Aliah wanted to know more about herself. Why was she raised to be protected from a cold blooded murderer? Aliah tiptoed downstairs to see her aunt on the computer doing social chatting.

"Um, Aunt-" Aliah was paused by her aunt screaming at her.

"What did I say? You must call me by my first name because you're not my niece!" Melanie snapped.

Aliah rolled her eyes in annoyance. Why was she raised by this woman?

"Um, I was wandering…."

"Spit it out! Whatever you have to say, say it now or else I'll get out my belt!" Melanie spat.

"Where did I come from?!" Aliah shouted back.

"Excuse me?!" Melanie replied in a dangerous tone.

"WHERE THE HELL DID I COME FROM!" Aliah shouted back in the same dangerous tone.

"What did I say about swearing! Well, you're definitely not my daughter so…"

Aliah was getting more irritated at her aunt. All she needed was an answer.

"Just fucking answer me Melanie!" Aliah screamed at her.

Melanie glared at her niece since she needed to know the truth. Aliah deserved it.

"You want the truth? I'll tell you. Then you'll receive a punishment for being a son of a bitch about it." Melanie said pulling out her belt.

"Deal." Aliah replied. It's worth getting whipped to know a truth that she was supposed to be told.

"Ten years ago, in the year of 1987, you were left on our porch around 1 in the morning. You see, Fritz's sister in law, had place you on our front porch with a note saying to take care of you. But you were lucky your uncle was around because I would've sent you straight to an orphanage."

Aliah's anger was rising up at the sound of Melanie's temper. This woman clearly doesn't love children.

"She gave you away because of your father committing murders of five innocent children. He took away my son. My poor son. It's a reason why you have to be here because you're a criminal's daughter!"

That, Aliah had to feel bad at.

"The only problem is that Fritz trusts his own brother still yet he was the one that murdered our son!" Melanie continued crying in anger. Aliah had a lump in her throat about all she was hearing.

"You look exactly like your father, which is why you don't belong here!" Melanie spat.

Aliah couldn't believe what she was hearing. All that hatred that she didn't deserve was all about a grieving mother for her son.

"What was my Dad's name?" Aliah questioned Melanie.

"Vincent. Vincent Smith. I don't think he'll love you anyway because he never knew you were born! Your mother left him before you were born. As for your mother, ha! She gave you away because you were a waste of space….."

"THAT'S A LIE! She would never get rid of me because I'm nothing to her! She'll still love me compared to you..." Aliah yelled back as if she was defending her mother.

"Your punishment will be harsher than ever!" Melanie said taking out the belt and whipping Aliah with all her strength. Aliah's back bleed so violently, she could feel the warmth of it rolling down her back.

"GO TO YOUR ROOM! YOU JUST WASTED MY TIME ON MY CHATS! NOW I'LL HAVE TO CATCH UP ON A FEW THINGS. GO!" Melanie shouted loudly at Aliah as she fled upstairs to her room locking and slamming the door. Aliah whipped her hand on her back and saw so much blood she's never seen in her life.

"Lulu, what am I going to do about her?! She's going to continue hurting me more and more! I can't stand it!" Aliah cried. Lulu only stared at the bloody scar on Aliah's back as it bled so violently.

"Tomorrow is another day." Aliah said slumping on her bed trying to numb the pain.
