You're a monster!

I looked away breaking the eye contact before it could get even more tense. I closed my eyes to calm myslef down. In a matter of minutes, I spoke in a low voice.

"S-sorry- I didn't mean to interrupt your personal space.. I just wanted to say thank you."

"For what?"

"For the clothes."

"You're welcome."

Throughout the whole conversation I kept my head lowered because I didn't want to make eye contact again.

After a few words, I left the room with a troubled mind. I felt like the conversation wasn't over even though it was over a few minutes ago.

I came to my room, still floating in my thoughts. I dropped on the bed and relaxed my body since I was exhausted.

Of all the things that had happened, the fun time I spent with Ezra and Elijah and the magical moments I had with both of them kept repeating in my head.

Everytime I thought of those moments, my lips curved into a smile. I decided to take a nap and buried myslef in a bedsheet and slept peacefully on the big cousy bed.

"Hugh!" I gasped and woke up hearing footsteps from behind the door. I got out of the bed quickly and ran to the door. I kept my ear on the door to hear clearly since it was bullet proof doors.

I heard the steps become less loud as it was moving far and far away. I opened the door slowly and peeked to see some guards going somewhere with Ezra and Elijah!

'What the hell?' I thought and decided to follow them. I felt like a secret ninja, following them. Then went far away and opened a wooden door which led to.. somewhat like a basement.

'Oh no!' The wooden door closed but luckily it wasn't locked, so I opened it and went inside the spooky, creepy looking basement.

I had watched many horror movies before and in most of them, the basement is the home of the ghost. 'Gosh I can't believe I am still scared of basements!'

Basements were my weakness but curiousity was something I couldn't handle. Thus, I went inside as the wooden door closed with a little 'creek' sound.

"So creepy." I mumbled. It was very dark and I could see nothing. There were stairs and it felt like they were endless stairs. I was relieved when I saw light coming from fire.

There were fire lamps on the walls and now I could see everything clearly. The guards with the twins had disappeared! They were no where to be seen!

I came across three openings. I couldn't decide which one to choose since I hadn't seen from which one they went so I just randomly picked the middle opening.

To my horror, it was like a grave yard and bodies weren't completely burried, some hands, legs, even heads were showing from the ground.

I didn't waste a second screaming and went right back where I came from. This time I chose the right opening and kept walking till I saw an end or Ezra and Elijah.

"Argh! No pl- arghh!!"

"Hgh! agh! hgh!!"

'What the fuck what the fuck fuck' I couldn't believe my ears! I heard Ezra and Elijah screaming in pain! As a human, I couldn't bear to hear such a loud painful scream.

I quickly went deeper inside the cave-like place only to find Ezra and Elijah tied up in a chair and Issac! their father! was beating them mercilessly with a whip!

I screamed my heart out upon seeing the miserable duo and yelled for the man to stop the craziness. Issac stopped hitting them and glared at me.

His glare then turned into a shocked look like he realised something. "Y-you- Eirene?? What are you doing in a place like this!? Go!"

"No!" I said while looking at him and the twins. They had scars on their bodies and a few drops of blood were dripping onto the floor from their scars.

I had tears in my eyes and started yelling at the man. "You.. you are a monster! How could you do this to your own children!? monster! monster!"

"Aight, fine. I AM a monster. Are ya happy now princess? Now leave, RESPECTFULLY."

I bravely stood my ground but failed to utter another single word. Once again his voice gave me chills down my spine. I couldn't believe someone could have such a dual personality.

Understanding that I won't leave easily, he signaled the guards to take me away and they grabbed me and took me away by force.

The last thing I saw was that monster keep hitting the twins in a cruel matter. He even looked like he enjoyed it. I gritted my teeth upon seeing that.

I was locked up in my room for a several hours and night had already come. I heard footsteps behind the door and immediately recognized who it was.

The door opened. Ezra and Elijah came inside the room and they looked.. awful. "You guys look terrible! That focking bastard! How can a father do that to his own children!?"

I was raging with anger unlike the twins who were just calm and were looking at me with sadness in their eyes.

The three of us went outside to the balcony. I was in between Ezra and Elijah. We kept staring at the sky for a few seconds before finally do the talking.

"Eirene..." Elijah spoke while still looking at the sky. "Don't ever go there again and never interrupt him while he is-"

"While he's abusing the heck out of you!? Out of both of you idiots?! You can't be calm at all! This is not normal at all! This is wrong!"

"We know.. but we are used it." Ezra also spoke. They failed hiding the pain when they talked even though they tried.

"Are you fricking kidding the fuck out of me!?"

"I mean, why do you even care...."

I almost slapped Elijah when he said that.

"Of course I do! You are humans, aren't you? I know something called, HUMANITY. So yes. I care."

"Even if you do, you can do nothing about it. No one can do anything-"

"Wrong!" I cut Ezra off and said, "You can do something about it! Why are you not doing anything! Is it because he is your father??"

They were silent for a moment and kept looking at each other for a few seconds before speaking. Elijah sighed and spoke in a broken tone.

"Eirene, he is not our father."
