PROLOGUE: Inside In The Dark, Lives She.

ROSEANNA

"Please, please... Leave her brother. She isn't at fault. It was my mistake everything was my mistake. I took her out in purpose. Force her to go with me. Against you. It was all me. Please leave her. I beg you..." I requested him, my hand gripped on her hands, while apart from my mouth, my eyes was begging him to. He was standing with a scissor in his hand, hanging on Shelly aunt's hair which he was going to trim because I made a terrible mistake.

I,

His way of punishing me. He knows that after mom, these people mean the world to me. So, he uses it against me. His one hand was gripping Shelly aunt's hair, while the other one will rest the scissor together and her hair will be cut short. She was crying, begging for his forgivance while he was laughing like a psychopath. He looked at me and then the scissor as he cut it.

Right, in front of my eyes. Not sparing an ounce of mercy on a woman, who raised me and loved me more then her own daughter. "Going against my words, is not something that deserves my forgivance." He relentlessly fixated on his words, gritted with his cruel, hard glare resting on me and a smirk. He left Shelly aunt's hair, and then pivots to look at me. From to down. His eyes wondering on me. " Why? Are you scared now? A minute ago, you were so happy to take punishment. Why so stiff and scared now?" He asked, raising my chin, and his red and furious eyes looking in mine, the last drop slid from my forehead, while I was scared for my life now. 

"Knock! Knock!" He muttered with his lips, demanding answer from me. 

While I was crying to the cruel god, that please never make any girl have a brother like him. Please god. Everyone, even the worser deserves better then what I have. "Knock! Knock!" he screamed on my face this time, as he turned his head, and before another evil thought crosses him, I answered, "Who's there?" 

"Mercy." He said, as he waited for me to respond him on his words. 

"Mercy, who?" I asked him, stuttering and scared, and I just wanted to run away. 

"Mercy. Which has no place in my life." His words were the last thing he said, when he turned to leave me to fall, but aunt Shelly grabbed me before. I watched her hair that was half cut and half not. Tears clouded in my eyes, as my lips started to murmur sorry to her, again and again. She shooed her head and, caressed my heard, assuring me not to worry. And not to cry. But I was guilty for every single thing that have happened with her. "I'm sorry, aunt shelly. I really ran with my whole power, so that I don't get caught. But before I knew, brother's men were already surrounding me." I tried to explain myself to her. When she gave me a understanding nod. "I know, baby girl. I know you." She repeated, as I hugged her, crying on her shoulder. She kept patting on my back, telling me not to cry. 

"Aunt Shelly, where was I wrong?" I asked her, in my whimper, when her pat stopped. "You weren't wrong anywhere my dear," With her low, and hurt voice, she tried to assure me. Her heart was throbbing too. When she distant me, and looked at me in the eyes, she gave me an assuring nod, as she tried to cheer me up with her smile. Smile that was exhausted. "Roseanna, do you remember what I told you in all the stories?" She asked me when I didn't knew, what she was talking about. 

"There is always someone, who rescues the trapped princess. That one Prince, who god only created for her. When god gave her a tough fate, he made a soft arms, where she can rest. And you too have that prince, all you have to do is, wait. Wait for your prince to come for you." 

"I'm not a princess, aunt Shelly. I am a nuisance, a worthless creation. Pain and suffer for my brothers. I am that one dirty monster. Who ruined someone's family. I ain't princess." My words were dark and hurtful, and it broked aunt Shelly's heart too. 

"Don't listen to what your brothers say." Her little whisper in my ears, while she again hugged me tightly. Did calm something in me. 

"But all of his words are true. I can't deny the fact, can I?" I asked her, when even she was silent. 

"I guess I don't need to tell you anything anymore. Only someone who is created for you, can explain you, your worth. Because  you believe or not, someone somewhere is waiting for you." her words do comfort me alot. Everytime she says to me something like this, I do wonder is thier really someone who is waiting for me? 

Who will listen to me, and lift my chin up and tell me that I am the most precious woman in the world and that I am worth breathing. 

"Okay. Now little girl, go to sleep or some dark circles under your eyes won't be much appreciated from your prince." She joked as I giggled too and hugged her tightly. But she distant me and asked me lay on my bed. 

I did as she said, as what I heard today. And what happened today kept replaying in my head. 

When Ace was beating me, our eldor brother Remmo walked past us but didn't bother stopping him. Will I ever be able to win his heart? And will he ever allow me to call his sister? 

Will that day ever come in my life? 

I don't know about Ace brother, but someday I really wanna win Vellore brother's heart.  

And whenever that day comes. I won't hesitate to pay the price.
