That day was an important day for the Clarks; after 10 months, Mrs. Clark was finally going to give birth to her child. Everybody in the region knew Mr. Clark of the Clarks, that famous and serious Judge, lived here.
After a few hours, the nurse delivering the child walked out from the room with an awkward expression on her face, and went to Mr. Clark's office to see him. "Um, Mr. Clark..." The nurse looked at him with a shocking expression on her face. "Yes? What is it?" Mr. Clark looked at the panicking woman as he frowned. "Uh...you might need to see it yourself, Mr. Clark." "What is it that needs me to go take a look at? Why not tell me now?" "Well...your child seems to be a bit "Special"."
The two arrived at the room where Mrs. Clark was taking a rest. She's lying on the bed, and next to her was Mr. and Mrs. Clark's child. Mr. Clark noticed that the other people who helped with the birthing also seemed to be embarrassed. When he walked up to the child, he saw his child, and instantly the expression on Mr. Clark's face became more shocked than that of everyone's.
The child was a girl, but her hair was in the color of blonde, unlike her parents'; Mrs. Clark's was red, while Mr. Clark's was brown. The most surprising thing however, was that the girl had a pair of terrifying eyes; her eyes were all black; the pupil, the white of the eye – pure black. "What monstrous creature is that?!" Mr. Clark shouted furiously. Nobody talks back. Suddenly Mr. Clark grabbed the still-resting Mrs. Clark, "You didn't mess with other people, did you?! Or how can you give birth to such monster!?" "Mrs. Clark is very weak right now, Mr. Clark. Please..." "Like I care about it!" Mr. Clark threw her back onto the bed, "Tell my lawyer to come here" concluded Mr. Clark as he left the room.
A few days later, Mr. Clark's lawyer, Taylor, arrived. "Mr. Clark, about your daughter...she certainly is your daughter without doubt; the DNA test does not go wrong, and the sight tests show that her eye sight is normal. The doctor even said that he has never seen a case like this – Her eyeballs are black but she has no problem in her eyesight. In fact, her eyesight is two times of a normal person's." Taylor, standing in front of Mr. Clark's desk, handed him a stack of documents on the girl's information. "But she's a monster. She's not perfect; what I want is a perfect child." Mr. Clark said, without even taking a glance at the documents. "Then...what should we do? Hand her to the orphanage?" Taylor asked. "No, that would affect people's impression on me... If that's the case, then I shall not let her go to school. I will recruit tutors to teach her. Don't let anyone see her. Oh, also, tell the nurses who helped deliver the child not to tell anyone about this. This is a very bad issue to our family." Mr. Clark closed his book and looked at Taylor, "If any accident happens, just finish her off... She is a failure, after all..."
Years later, Dina Angela, the extraordinary girl, was now 13 years old. She didn't like to talk, possibly because she was locked up in the mansion all her life by her father, therefore became anti-socialized. Dina knew that her father was a very famous Judge, and that he did things very fairly, always looked at things in a neutral point of view. However, he always seeks for perfection on everything, which was why he had a very bad relationship with Dina. Despite knowing that her mother and father were never so well with each other before she was even born, it can't be changed; both of their parents decided the marriage themselves that time.
Dina had never stepped outside before because of her eyes. She got herself a mirror and looked at her eyes; they were pure black, but looking closely, she actually saw little sparkles in them, like a small galaxy. She was often fascinated when looking into her own eyes. Her blonde hair was short and messy, but she usually had them brushed whenever her father was around; though it's usually her mother who brushes them.
For Mrs. Clark, she never cared much about how Dina looked; she was always on her daughter's side, always thinking for her. Of course, she always knew what her husband (who did not like Dina at all) was up to.
Dina didn't have any friends. Her father had been imprisoning her for all her life, and even though the house was really huge, she still felt very lonely. She used to have thoughts on making a friend or like a certain boy, but it seemed impossible in this situation. Currently, the only person that supported her was her mother, Mrs. Clark, so she really adored her. Dina thought about these things as she watched the kids playing around from the window.
Suddenly, someone knocked on Dina's room door. "Come in." Mrs. Clark came in and said, "Dina, I will be going to the department store later. Do you want me to buy anything for you?" Mrs. Clark said as she looked at Dina. "No, thanks" "But dear, you haven't been eating anything recently, and you seem thinner than before...I'll buy you something to eat later." Mrs. Clark left the room before Dina can even stop her. "I told you I don't want it...*sigh*..."
Despite saying no, Dina actually wanted to try something from outside; Clothes, food, everything was not interesting for her now. She wanted to try something from the outside world, but no...Dina knew that ever since she was born, a maid was employed by her family; her name was Maisha, and her job was to take care of Dina. But the maid's job was actually, in fact, to be Mr. Clark's bodyguard. He spent a lot of money to recruit this woman, who had loads of criminal records, to prevent Dina from causing trouble, as well as to protect him. After all, who knows what Dina will do to him. Thinking to this point, Dina giggled and thought, "If I can, I would want to kill him"
It will be Christmas in a few days, but Dina wasn't excited about it, since she always spent Christmas as if it's a normal day; for her, it didn't matter whether she had celebrated it or not. Fortunately, whenever it's her birthday, Mrs. Clark would always prepare a small cake to celebrate with her; if she hadn't done so, Dina would've forgotten how old she was.
"Since there won't be having any tutoring today, let's do what I usually do", Dina thought. She stood up from her bed, left the room, and started wandering around the house. Even though Mr. Clark locked her up in the house, he never said anything about not letting her walked around the house. It's a good thing that the house was large, and that the family was pretty much the richest in the region, but Dina wasn't complacent just because of that. Also, Dina was utterly disgusted by arrogant ones who cared for their pride.
Dina always visits Mr. Clark's collection room, and even though he strictly forbad Dina to enter that room, she will always sneak into it. In that room, she can stay for a long time, because there is one thing that really catches her eye – a pure white sword. That sword was placed in a glass case, and was isolated from the other collections, as if it's something really special. Whenever Dina gets close to the sword, it creates a soundless resonance, and that sword always shines in a silvery white color. Dina would stand for hours to watch that sword. According to her mother that, according to the legend, the sword originally belonged to an angel, and during a war, the angel accidentally dropped the sword into the human world, and was never found by the angel again. However, since then, the humans of the world began using it for different reasons; it was once used to kill, to protect, for personal benefits etc. Thus the sword was passed down like this for many, many years. There was also a rumor about the sword considering one who builds a good relationship with it its master for eternity.
"Such beautiful sword...If only you are mine" Dina's black eyes reflected the image of the sword. She placed her hands onto the glass case, and felt as if she's getting sucked in. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming close, so she hid herself. The door opened, and someone came in – it's Maisha; she was doing her daily patrolling. It was obvious that she's looking for Dina, since Dina left the room without her permission. To have Dina's action restricted this badly, she stared at the maid with a hateful look. Dina came out from where she was hiding as soon as Maisha left the room.
In the evening, Mrs. Clark returned home with lots of things she bought from the department store; almost all of them are daily supplies. Unfortunately, she met up with Mr. Clark, who doesn't show up often, at the front door. "What did you buy?" Mr. Clark said. He grabbed Mrs. Clark's arm as he asked her, and some of the items Mrs. Clark bought fall out, including some of the food she bought secretly. "Why did you buy this food? It's for that monster, isn't it?! How dare you buy these things secretly?" Filled with fury, Mr. Clark pushed Mrs. Clark onto the floor, but before he kicked his helpless wife, Dina came and blocked her heartless father. "Father!! What in world are you doing?!" "You have no right to call me "Father", you monster! Only the most perfect ones can call me that!" Mr. Clark slapped Dina, bouncing her to the side. She stood up from the floor and glared at her father before he says "Humph" and left.
After making sure that Mr. Clark had left, Dina went up to Mrs. Clark and asked, "Mother, are you alright?" "Don't worry, I'm okay. Sigh...I'm quite unlucky today. How about you, dear?" "I'm fine...But didn't I tell you not to buy them for me? If dad sees it..." "It doesn't matter... Since you're my only daughter..." Mrs. Clark touched Dina's face gently before she said, "Let's sleep together tonight, Dina." The truth was, Mrs. Clark cannot escape her husband's bind even if she wanted to; she had thought of divorcing, but she can't give up on Dina, and even if the divorce was successful, it is likely that Mr. Clark would not let them go for good.
"Mother..." Mrs. Clark sat on the bed, while Dina laid down on her mother's lap. "Yes?" Mrs. Clark touched Dina's hair softly. "Mother...Do you hate me? My eyes..." Dina looked at her mother with her pure black eyes. "Of course not...Mother really loves your unique eyes. You're my angel, after all." "Angel..." Dina suddenly remembered the sword in the collection room "Mother, do you want to escape? From this home?" "Yes...I've always wanted to..." "Then let's run away together!!" Dina sat up, "Let's leave this place! Then we'll find somewhere where no one will ever find to live in!" Dina held her mother's hand. "But Dina... your father is a famous person, and he knows a lot of people, so if he was to find us, we'd definitely be in a very bad situation!!" Mrs. Clark said as she lowered her head. "But mother...do you really want to live under father's harsh treatment? You and I both know that one day I will be finished off by father, so let's escape this place before that happens!" Dina's eyes were filled with flames of her passionate feelings, and as her mother saw Dina's passion, she held Dina's hand and says "Alright..." Seeing her mother determined too, Dina said, "Then...we'll run away on Christmas Eve! I've prepared the plan already!" Dina then told Mrs. Clark about her plan until sunrise.
Time flew, and the day of the Christmas Eve had came. Dina and Mrs. Clark will be escaping this house that day; this house was no longer home, but hell. The master of this home was a Judge, and he was the law; anybody who goes against him will no longer live on. Dina had been waiting for this day; she had prepared everything, and now she just needed to wait for the evening to come. She looked at her watch; it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hm...I think it's time." Dina took out a pendant; it was a photo pendant. She bought it secretly, by sneaking out from the house to a newly opened antique shop near their house; the shop sold many different kinds of things, including the pendant. Since she sneaked out while wearing a disguise, she thought people wouldn't notice her. Anyway, she was now going to give that pendant to her beloved mother.
Suddenly, Dina's room's door slamed open, with Mrs. Clark, covered in blood, running in, screaming, "RUN, DINA!!" Before Dina could react, Mr. Clark pushed Mrs. Clark from behind and walked towards Dina and grabbed her. He shouted, "You damn monster!!!! I will kill you!! How dare you sneak out!! Do you even know that because of what you've done, someone had taken a photo, claiming that a black-eyed monster had entered our house?! I thought it was something else, but now our front yard is crowded with news reporters!!" Right after he concluded, he threw Dina to the side. Dina, being thrown by her father, had her head hit the edge of the table and lost consciousness.
When Dina regained consciousness, she noticed that the floor was freezing cold, and the air felt quite moist; it seemed that she was in the dungeon. Mr. Clark had an interest in the medieval cultures; therefore he built this dungeon in this house. 'Now that I think about it, father's taste in this really disgusts me,' Dina thought. She stood up and wandered around the place; it seemed like the only exit of this dungeon was the door. There's nothing here, and despite Dina's body being very slim, it was still not possible for her to escape through the metal bars. Suddenly, Dina heard someone coming towards her. She stared at the person closely in the dark. "Hey~~ You little monster~ How does it feel being here?" The footsteps came from Maisha, the hateful woman. "I knew your plans from the very beginning, and that's why I sent photos of you outside to the news reporters, ugly one." Maisha looked at Dina with a despicable look, "You beastly girl..." "Oh, but aren't you the same? You are also being controlled by my father, aren't you? Forced to depend on my father because of that...you damn woman...you are no different from a monster! You thought I don't know how you seduced my father every night, didn't you?" Dina looked at Maisha, laughing, "You slut, you slut, you slut, you slut!" Dina repeated nonstop, until Maisha, irritated, opened the dungeon's door and gave her a few punches, till she coughed up blood. "Enough, you freaking monster!! Your father told me that I can always finish you however I want!" Maisha shouted as she stomped on Dina's head.
"That's enough..."
"Spurt... Heh... Hehehehehehehehehehehehe..." Dina, who was still being stomped, started giggling creepily. "Hehehehehehehe... HYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Dina laughed hysterically as she opened her eyes widely. "No!!!" Dina grabbed Maisha's ankle tightly as she screamed, "The one who should be punished is YOU!!" Dina stood up, and with her one hand still holding onto Maisha's ankle, she hit the woman in the knee with her other hand with immense power, instantly reflexing Maisha's knee. The pain caused Maisha to scream to tears. Then, Dina sat onto Maisha and slapped her a few times while she laughed, "Scream you bitch! Hyaahaha!" Dina then started to strangle Maisha, "You shouldn't provoke me! You should never provoke an angel!" Maisha struggled continuously; she grabbed Dina's arm tightly, and scratched her arm to the point of having her skin scratched off, but Dina did not feel anything, because she knew that the person in front of her has to be punished. "That's right Maisha – I knew all of what you've done, and I've always known about it, so I need to judge you...Maisha. Qwest..." Dina's face approached Maisha's. Her large eyes stared at the woman, and the woman looked back with a terrified look. "What you have done cannot escape from an angel's eyes, so I now announce...you're..." Dina strangled Maisha even harder as she whispered into the woman's ears...
"Guilty."
Dina tightened her grip as Maisha's eyes turned white. Now everything was quiet.
After making sure that Maisha wasn't breathing anymore, Dina stood up, excited, and said, "Phew...I killed someone...I killed someone... Hehehehehehehe..." Dina laughed hysterically as she hugged herself, because she had finally done something she had always wanted to do. "It's time for more trials..." Dina immediately switched back to her serious personality.
She arrived at the collection room, and walked towards the glass case, looking at the sword inside the case with a cold look. "It's time. Come..." Even though she said she will leave this place, but she has changed her plans; she will finish this, once and for all, and leave this place along with her mother.
An hour later, Dina, covered in blood, arrived at Mr. Clark's office. "Father......Hehehe..." She opens the office door slowly, but saw no signs of her father. However, just before she was about to leave, she saw someone lying on the floor. Just when she could see that person clearly, she cried. "Mother!!!!" Dina ran towards her mother, and held her up. Her mother was covered in wounds, and was stabbed with a knife; she was no longer breathing. "No, NO, NO!!! MOTHER!!" Nothings left for her. Even her beloved mother was gone. Dina cried as she hugged her mother, but then she noticed the reflection on the sword; someone was approaching her, and she recognized him. When the person came close, Dina suddenly grabbed the sword and slashed the person, making him fall.
"Hello, father." One of Mr. Clark's legs was chopped off. Mr. Clark crawled on the ground, trying to escape, but Dina stopped him by stepping on his wound where his leg was chopped off. "Ahhhhhhh!!" Mr. Clark shouted. "Father......I thought you were gone...It will really trouble me if you are...hehehehehehe..." Dina said as she stabbed her father in his stomach with the sword. She stabbed, stabbed, and stabbed, making her father excessively bleed. "What's going on, father? Aren't you strong all the time? How can you get so low by a monster" Dina's eyes were filled with crazy and murderous thoughts, "You know, it feels so nice to judge and sentence people! Maybe I'll become a great Judge someday..." Dina swung her sword. "Judge...humph, like hell will a monster become a Judge. A Judge is...cough...is only suitable for those who are fair and perfect..." Mr. Clark panted. Dina then pointed the sword at her father and said, "Then, are the things you've done ever the fairest? Hyahahahaha! I am way better than you. WAY. TOO. MUCH!!!" Dina stabbed her father harshly every time she said a word. His organs flowed out from him, and they are either being minced or mashed by Dina.
Mr. Clark, suffering from severe injury and excessive bleeding, glared at Dina and shouted, "You...you monster!!!!" "Monster? No, no, no... I am an ANGEL!! An angel that was born to punish you!! Hyaahahaha!!" Dina raised her sword, "Danny Clark...I now announce... you're...Guilty!!!!" Dina slashed her father with her sword, chopping her father's head off before he has time to react. The man's body collapsed as his head fell to the ground. Dina picked up her father's head, talking as she looked at it, "Father...I knew everything...What you have done so far are all being seen with my eyes, even if you don't treat me like a normal human." Dina threw the head into the burning hearth.
"Hehehehe...Hehe...He..." For some reason, Dina noticed that her blood was boiling, and that she adored everything she had done. That's right, she now considered everything reasonable. She grabbed the sword tightly, shaking her hands and shivering at the same time.
She had lost her mind.
"Hmm~♪~Hmm~♪~Hmm~♪~" Dina puts her mother's corpse into a suitcase, "Don't worry mother...I will find a nice place to bury you♪" Dina said to her mother's corpse as she gently touched her mother's hair. Dina changed her clothes into a white one, which showed her white complexion. Then she prepared herself and the sword, which was creating a resonance that seemed to express the joy for Dina. "Is that so? Hehehe...That's right, I am now your master! Hehehehehe...I am an angel!! I have the right to decide whether people live or get killed by me~♪" Dina swung the sword as she talked to the sword. She left the house with the heavy suitcase, and walked towards the forest; she looked at the burning mansion before she stepped into the forest. She smiled with satisfaction and disappeared into the forest.
There was a fire at the Clarks' mansion last night. When the policemen and the fire fighters arrived, they discovered large amounts of dead, decapitated corpse. The policemen suspected that most of the corpses were the servants of the Clarks. Of course, they also found Mr. Clark's body, with his head, burnt to the skull, discovered in the hearth. Mrs. Clark's body was not found, but she was also suspected dead, as they found her blood in Mr. Clark's office. Taylor, Mr. Clark's lawyer, was also found dead after the fire started; he also died from decapitation.
Mr. Clark's neighbor was questioned whether the family had a child or not; all of them answered no. No data showed that the Clarks had a child, either.
-A month later-
"Good morning. This is David Starter here at Morning News. It seems that a few people have witnessed a sword wielding girl in white last night. Let's ask some of the witnesses about the incident."
- "She's an Angel! I saw her wings!"
- "She's a head-carrying white ghost!"
- "She is here to judge us!! She's going to take our lives!"
A man who was watching the news laughed in front of the TV and said, "Hmph, angels... It must be a lie made by stupid people...like hell angels exist in this world" He walked into a dark alley to smoke, and just before he put the cigarette in his mouth, he was pushed to the wall by someone. Using the very dim lighting, he saw a girl in white. "W-wait! Can you be...?!" The man struggled as he spoke, but the girl cut in before he could end the sentence.
"Shhh...you need to be quiet during a trial..."
"Now, how dare you defy an angel...hehehe...because of this, I now announce you..."
