Your parents sadly passed away from the sickness, leaving you all alone on the street until a young married couple didn't took you into their home, giving you shelter and many siblings that turned out to actually be orphans like yourself

From all the children here, he was the oldest, from what you learnt, he barely turned seventeen not long before your appearance. Unlike others, he would always be distant, cold and when he could, he would avoid adults like fire but when not, he would act like an angel, a complete opposite for his mysterious personality

"Do not anger them" Was the first thing he said upon meeting you, a new child, while his gaze was locked onto your "new parents", leaving the meaning of those words unknown for you. At least until one day

Children here were always sweethearts from the nature, never causing troubles, or at least most of them. Peace was norm ever since you came, nothing bad happened until one of the younger children did threw a tantrum but soon she would get calmed down down by the "Father" with a sunny smile on his face, he then took the girl from the line of sight of anyone

after the accident, you had found a pretty flower in the garden, wanting to show it to your "parents" you mindlessly begun to investigate the manor, soon to find a second kitchen, away from the place where children could roam

Hearing "Father's" voice, you peeked inside, just to be met with a sight of him standing with a cleaver, his clothes bloody. Hearing the door move, "Father" soon turned to check the reason but you weren't here any longer

Frozen in shock you stood there yet you had no time for reaction as someone yanked you away from the door, thankfully avoiding "Father's" gaze. The person who saved you, soon threw you against the wall, holding their hand over your mouth to make sure that no noise will come out

"Sh..." The oldest child hushed you, reminding that the danger is still just on the other side of the wall before slowly walking away with you, making sure to keep you silent
