Worthless child

"You worthless child! Can't you even do anything right?!"

A young girl, age about 18 was being scolded by a lady. She remain silent as her mother continues to insult her. Seeing her without giving a response, she then raise her hand, and slap her as hard as she could.

-

Taken by surprise, the young girl fell on to the floor as the side of her face slowly turns red. She didn't dare to look up as she was afraid of getting beaten again.

-

"No dinner for you tonight! You'll be staying in the basement for the whole week, and don't ever let us see your face!" The woman then slam the door shut, leaving the girl alone in the dark room.

-

The young girl slowly gets up to her feet, wiling herself to not lose control. She wiped the dirt of her andd started taking deep breaths. "Being hit again, I see." She turned to the direction of the voice and saw a man standing at the doorway. "You do know that if you continue acting like this, your mother would beat you to death, right?"

-

The girl refuse to talk, remaining silent as she glare at him with hatred. "Don't look at me like that, dear daughter. It's not my fault that you are unable to fulfill what your parents asked."

The man then step forward to look at her face and sigh, "Do better next time, you are a valuable asset for us...I can't bear to lose you, Skylar."

-

Skylar then raise her head up high, " I am not your asset, and I will never help you get what you want." The man just smile and said, "We'll see about that, Skylar, we'll see." And of he goes, shutting the door and enveloping the room with darkness.
