It's nighttime and your mother had told you to get some water to wash outside. The river is five miles out. You walk outside with a bucket that's huge and your dress is now scratched and ragged and dirty. You've worn the same dress for 7 years. Ever since you were one. You feet are bare and your hair flows in a red hue.
As you walk. The snow and sticks hurt your feet. You walk closer and a wolf startled you. You flinch and a man suddenly grabs you.
In a flash you're on a man's lap. He has black hair, but his eyes are emerald green like yours. You were told you were a curse so your eyes were emerald green. But emerald green is a hereditary trait that runs in only the spade empire which is nothing but demon like royals.
The man stares at you. He's in utter shock at how best up you are for an 8 year old, and how malnourished you are.
"Shh.. it's alright. The wolf won't hurt you," he says. "Where do you live?" He asks. His voice is gentle.
You don't speak, you just point to a nearby mansion that belongs to your adopted parents. Also your mom's brother, aka your uncle and aunt.
The man carries you to the mansion and he knocks on the door. Your mother answers the door.
"Brat I told you to clean up, I'll make you sleep outsid-" she begins to say but she pauses as she sees the man.
"I want her back." He says as he sets you down. "Go get your things. And then come back" he says.
You rush to the basement where you sleep. You hear yelling and screaming. You cover your ears as you gather your things.
Do you make a run for it?
