Cowards!

They don’t even have the courage to come near and see the damage they are causing.

Kade nears Aiden and grabs his jaw, causing the poor boy to groan. When I see blood dripping from one side of his lips, I struggle with the guards again. My strength, however, is insignificant compared to theirs.

“You can’t hurt him. Let him go. He didn’t even do anything. I’m the one at fault here. If you want to punish anyone, please let it be me. Leave him.” My voice is strong and pleasing, and my tears adjoin it, making it all real.

Kade turns to his back to take a look at me, but he didn’t step one inch away from Aiden’s body, which’s thriving to remain alive. “Trust me, little thing, we are still coming back to you. But for now, enjoy the space.”

And that’s all he’s got to say to me.

My lips part in surprise.

“Wait, aren’t you that slave gifted to our uncle?” Speaks Kieran all of a sudden, breaking the tension in the room for just a moment.

“True. It is him.” Kade adds in, and Kieran nods.

“Of course. Our uncle would be mad if he got to find this out. He’s had this slave for the longest time I know.”

Kade scoffs a small laugh that gives off an eerie vibe before his next words are directed towards Aiden: “You have gone against the wants of the triplets, touched what is theirs, and meddled with things far stronger than a weak being like yourself can handle.” As Kade speaks, I relax my body, listening to him.

“I swear, my Lord, I did not. I was only...” But Aiden wasn’t allowed to finish as Kade grabbed his jaw again, and his nails, turning into claws, ripped into Aiden’s cheeks. It causes more blood to stain his body as he whines out of pain.

His body is stained with sweat, dirt from the ground, and his own blood. His hair drapes over his forehead and is wet as well.

There’s nothing Aiden can say that would save him. The triplets are blinded; they don’t come to see reasons but their own, and they don’t care whoever they hurt.

And that’s when, out of the blue, I hit one of the guards with all my might on his foot, causing him to whine out of pain. As he does, I jab my elbow against the other’s jaw. Free from the two, I run towards Kade and grab him by the shirt.

My hearing ignores the loud gasps that came from the snakes outside this bar. My eyes are only focused on Kade’s face, who watches him from his towering position, his face having an amused expression in it.

“I won’t let you do this. You will let him go now, free, safe, and sound; no more injury; and I will agree to any punishment you want to inflict on me.” In my mind, I know I’ve suffered enough so that they can’t hurt me as much anymore. They’ve broken my body, my soul, and my mind, so there’s nothing more they can break.

“Is this thing giving me choices?” Kade shifts his gaze to his brother, Kieran, who chuckles before he folds his arms and places them over his chest.

“Let him go!” I scream at his face, which in turn causes Kade to squeeze his face. “What do you care to gain from this? Kill him so I can be broken? Have you not done enough? Haven’t you broken me enough? You took away my innocence and made sure to break every inch of my skin and body. You took everything—literally everything—from me, and now you want to kill another life for being a friend to me? How crazy can any of you be?” I take a few steps back, my eyes shifting to each of them.

I really want to understand at this point why they do all these? Is it all for fun? Like, they are some sadists who love to punish other people; see them suffer and gain pleasure from it?

“Really? Why do you all do these? Why? We haven’t even hurt any of you before, and we cannot, because we fear you all, so why? Why?” To be honest with myself, I don’t know what my “why” is about; maybe it’s about all that’s happening. Something of the sort.

I just want to understand every reason why they do all these things. Why they are so cruel. Why do they kill us off like we are pawns in a chess game? Or some livestock.

What is wrong with this world and with these people?

“You’re right, Kaya. We’ve allowed you to suffer enough. Now, I shall stop that.” Kade’s face is turned to one side; rather, it is through the corner of his eyes. “Although I would like to make this clear, We own you, Kaya, and you must begin to understand that your pain is nothing but all that you deserve.”

“What?” I deserve these pains. My nostrils flare out of anger, and I scream as I head towards Kade. I didn’t slow down my attack at all.

The next thing happening is my teeth latching onto his chest and my hands pounding on his face with as much force as I can strengthen myself with.

But his skin is only slightly damaged, my teeth having little effect as instantly, his skin closes back, and while still tasting his blood on my lips, the metallic effect is not awful to my tongue. Surprisingly, my body freezes all of a sudden.

It happened so fast. I can’t control my own body anymore. My knees are bending until they touch the ground.

“There’s much for you to learn, little thing.” Is the next thing he says before his next action made me wail out of pain.

“NO!”
