Three Brothers, One Lost Light
My Own Hell
This is my first story, so I will try my best😊
Now let’s meet the female lead
Name: Skye
Age: 7
Family: She had no one to call family, she learned to rely on herself.
Living: In a house, in the basement
Likes: Sweets, nice people
Dislikes: Pain, bad people, “her owners”
Personality: Shy, sweet, innocent, doesn’t know many things (no one has taught her)
Hobbies: Washing, cooking and cleaning.
She was found by a man and a woman — the ones who would become her so-called “owners” — who took her in and claimed to raise her. But “raised” isn’t the right word. From the moment she arrived in their home, they treated her not as a child, but as a servant. At just three years old, she was forced to clean, cook, and wash. Now, four years later, she’s seven — and nothing has changed. She’s endured it all in silence, while they continued their cruelty without pause.
But now… the real story begins.
Skye opened her eyes, and before she could even get up, she was already being dragged down to the basement by the woman.
Mara black
How dare a filthy girl like you sleep up here?
Skye
I..I…I’m so…sorry…..I will never do it again….
Mara black
HOW DARE YOU talk back to ME! (She said it so loudly even her neighbors heard her)
Damon black
Honey… what are you screaming on now?
Mara black
Baby… she—she dared to sleep up here on the floor last night. She should be in the basement by now! Just look at the floor… it’s filthy!
She clung to her husband, trying to look as innocent as possible.
Damon black
How dare she do this to my wife?!
Damon black
Who do you think you are???
Skye
Ahh… ugh… please… stop… it hurts…
Damon black
How DARE she!
Mara black
Honey, no need to use strength on her. Just tie her up and lock her in the basement.
She clutched at her husband’s arm.
Damon black
You’re right, honey. Now let go, grab the chains, and give them to me
She let go, walked over, and found the chains.
The man just stood there, then suddenly plucked her up.
Skye had no choice. She just hung there in his grip.
The man dragged her down to the basement. Moments later, his wife came down too.
Mara black
Here, baby. Use these chains and tie her up—tight as you can
Damon black
Anything for you, my love
Skye was silent. She couldn’t do anything
She just stood there, silent and emotionless…
Damon black
There you go. I hope you learn from your mistakes. Now, honey, shall we leave?
Mara black
Yes, of course
Skye
Wai… wait! D-Don’t go! PLEASE! Let me go!!!
Mara black
Oh, how dare you raise your voice at us
Damon black
You talk too much. Time to shut that mouth for you
Skye
(No, no… this is not what I wanted…)
Mara black
No. Baby, take this and make her shut up
She handed him a towel to tie around Skye’s mouth.
Mara black
This will teach her a lesson, don’t you think, baby?”
Damon black
Yes, honey. This is perfect
Then they left—without saying another word to Skye.
She just sat there, tied up in chains, bound to the cold wall, her mouth gagged.
Skye
(What am I going to do now? How do I get out of here?)
Skye
(I have to think fast…)
Skye
(But the only people I can think of are those two—Mara Black and Damon Black.)
Name: Mara Black
Age: 37
Family: She just has a loving husband.
Living: In a house, in the finest room.
Job: Has no one. Just spends her husband’s money and waits for him to come home.
Likes: Husband, money, and noble people.
Dislikes: The poor, a filthy girl.
Personality: Mean, bad, hurts people — but she changes when some people are rich or if she has use for them.
Hobbies: Being with rich people.
Name: Damon black
Age: 41
Family: he has just a loving wife
Living: in a house, in the finest room
Job: gambling and cheat
Likes: wife, money, noble people
Dislikes: the poor and the girl in the basement
Personality: mean, bad, hurts people— only change for the good to nobles and his wife
Hobbies: gambling and dotes on his wife
Skye
(Argh… I really hate those people…)
Skye
(But what can I do now?)
Skye
(I… I can’t keep my eyes open, but I’m not even tired…)

Hope you guys liked it. Bye! We’ll see each other soon.😉
That Room...
Author✍️
Hope you enjoyed the last one. Enjoy this one too! 😉
Skye opened her eyes and slowly looked around.
Skye
(How am I even supposed to speak when I’m gagged with a towel? I’m so hungry… I haven’t eaten in over eight days. Shouldn’t they at least send a maid to bring me something?)
Suddenly, the only door in the basement creaked open.
Two figures stepped in without saying a word, their footsteps echoing as they slowly made their way down the stairs.
Evil maid 1
Hehehe, what do we have here?”
Evil maid 2
Hah, I didn’t even know we had a filthy rat locked up down here.
Their eyes locked onto Skye with hatred—as if they wanted to kill her on the spot.
Evil maid 1
Why the heck would I be stuck down here with someone like her? She’s not even a normal human being.
Evil maid 1
What should we call her, then? Any ideas?
Skye
(I would’ve given YOU some names TOO—if only I could speak to you… 🙄)
Evil maid 2
Hmm… I think I’ve got one.
They reached the basement floor and walked straight toward Skye.
Evil maid 2
What do you even call an orphan that no one wants?
Evil maid 1
Wait—do we even need to call her anything? She’s just a filthy little thing nobody cares about. Let’s not waste energy on her today.
Skye
(I wish they could hear me right now…)
Evil maid 2
Oh, the little rat wants to talk? (She mocked.)
They stepped even closer.
Evil maid 2
We’ve been ordered to give you some food. I’m going to remove that towel, but if you say a single word, we’ll punish you. (She smirked.)
One of them grabbed Skye by the hair and yanked the towel from her mouth.
Skye
G-Get away from m…m-me!
Evil maid 2
OW! What the hell was that for, you little rat?!
Evil maid 1
How dare you kick her!
Evil maid 1
Let’s go—we have to tell Madam and Master right away.
Evil maid 2
Okay, I’ll lock the door.
They hurried back upstairs to report to Damon and Mara Black—the so-called “Madam” and “Master” of the house.
The door slammed shut, locking Skye inside once again.
They had left food behind—but it was placed far out of reach, almost mockingly.
Skye
I’m hungry… (her stomach growled.)
We now return to the part where the maids are about to report everything to the Madam and Master.
The two maids dropped to their knees.
Evil maid 1
Please, do something about that filthy girl! (She cried.)
Evil maid 2
She doesn’t know her place.
Damon raised a hand dismissively.
Damon black
Stand up, both of you.
They stood up obediently.
Damon sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead.
Damon black
What is it this time? What has she done now?
Evil maid 1
She dared to raise her voice at us,” one maid said quickly. “And she said horrible things about you and Madam.
Evil maid 1
(Hah… Even if she didn’t, they’ll always believe what I say about her.)(She smirked quietly to herself.)
Evil maid 2
She even got violent… she kicked me!
Damon’s expression darkened.
Damon black
WHAT?! She dared to insult me and lay hands on you? She has no respect for this household!
Mara stepped forward, her gaze icy.
Damon black
Honey, what do you want to do about her?
Mara black
Huh… I want her to beg for her life… and then I want her dead.
Mara black
We never should’ve taken her in.
Damon black
We should’ve just left her to die.
Damon black
You two maids, leave now and get back to your work.
The two maids bowed and left the room.
Damon black
Should we just kill her?
Mara black
Isn’t that what you really want?
Damon black
Yes, but shouldn’t we sell her first? We could make some money.
Mara black
Oh, baby, someone as strong as you shouldn’t show any mercy to someone like her.
Damon black
You’re right, honey.
Damon black
You always know exactly what to say.
Damon black
Honey, you’re so smart. 😍
Mara black
I know, baby, I know. 🥰
Damon black
I’ll take care of it right away.
Damon black
Guard! Come inside!
The door slowly opened, and a man stepped in.
Guard
Hello, Master. You called for me?
Damon black
Yes, I need you to take care of something for me.
Guard
Of course, Master. What is it?
Damon black
You know that rat in the basement?
Damon black
I want you to take her to that room.
Guard
Of course, I’ll do it right away.
The guard left immediately, already on his way to take the girl to that room.
—a place no one ever returns from.
Behind that door lies a torture chamber.
No one who has entered has ever come out alive.
Everyone in Mara’s and Damon’s household calls it simply that room.
Well back to the guard’s thoughts:
Guard
(This isn’t a place suitable for a child. I wonder why Master wants her taken there. But I’ll just do my job.)
He walked down the hallway but stopped outside the basement door.
Guard
(Fuck, why do I have a bad feeling about this?)
Guard
(Better just get it over with.)
He opened the door and stepped inside.
Guard
Hello, little girl. I want you to come with me, (he said with a forced smile.)
Skye
Don’t wanna, (she whispered.)
Guard
Oh, sorry, but it doesn’t matter what you say. It would just be easier if you came quietly, (he replied with a smirk.)
Guard
Argh, come on, get up. I’m done playing nice, (he growled.)
He grabbed her roughly, unlocked the chains, and dragged her up the stairs to a different basement.
Guard
Shut up, (he snapped.)
He shoved her into the cold, dark room and slammed the door shut behind her.
She sat down and then slowly lay down on the cold floor, trembling.
She was scared and didn’t know what to do.
Skye
Please, someone help me… Hear me…
Suddenly, she froze. Footsteps. Loud and clear, approaching. There was nowhere to hide in this room.
Skye
(No, no, no! What do I do?)
She was paralyzed with fear.
The door slammed open with a loud bang.
Damon black
Well, well, well, look who we have here.
Damon black
The filthy rat who should have been gone long ago.
He grabbed her with one hand, tied her to the wall, and picked up the largest whip he could find.
Then, he started striking her with it.
Skye
Arg!…OW!! PLEASE STOP…
Damon black
Shut your filthy mouth!!!
He paused. Blood trickled down her body.
Skye
…hic…hic! Please stop, please…
Skye
(My body can’t take this—)
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Guard
Master, it’s me. May I come in?
Guard
Madam is asking for you.
Damon black
Yes, come in.
He opened the door and bowed.
Guard
The madam is asking for you.
Damon black
Close the door and lock it so she won’t get out.
Damon walked over to his wife.
Damon black
Honey, what is it?
Mara black
Someone knocked and wants to see you.
Mara black
What do we do?

That’s the end of today’s episode.
Author✍️
We’ll find out who’s at the door next time.
Author✍️
Who do you think it is?

Stay tuned for the next episode! 😉
The Girl in the Shadows
Author✍️
How are you all doing?
Author✍️
Hope you’re having a wonderful time! 🤩
Author✍️
Now then… let’s continue the story.
Mara black
Someone knocked and wants to see you.
Mara black
What do we do?
Damon black
What do you mean, “what do we do”??? It’s probably just another guest.
Mara black
But they aren’t. They’re…
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
By order of His Majesty, open your doors. We seek someone who may be inside. Refusal is not an option.
With a deep breath, he opened the door.
Damon black
Your Majesty? You must be joking. Who exactly are you to come demanding entry into my home?
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard. The King’s business is mine. Step aside, Lord Black. This will go smoothly—if you cooperate.
Damon black
The King must have a lot of free time if he’s sending people like you after someone like me. If you’ve got a complaint, take it to the magistrate—not my doorstep.
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
This is no complaint. It’s a royal command. Let me in—or I’ll force my way.
Damon black
Fine. But you won’t find anything worth your time here.
Damon glances nervously at the floor.
Damon black
(Who the hell is he looking for here??)
The Captain enters, followed by several knights and a mysterious hooded man.
Mara black
(Who’s the guy in the hood?)
The knights surround the room.
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
Lord Black, do you have any little girls around here?
Damon black
(What? A little girl? Don’t tell me… they’re looking for her.)
Damon black
No. Why would we have a little girl here?
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
That’s why I’m asking.
The Captain stares at Damon, suspicious.
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
You two—search the first and second floors.
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
You two—check the basement.
Only a few remain in the room.
Mara black
Yeah, what do you want?
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
You don’t remember? “I didn’t know the king had so much free time…” (smirks)
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
That was quite disrespectful.
Damon black
What’s wrong with stating the truth?
Mara black
Just apologize and let it go. (whispers)
Damon black
NO. I don’t think so!
Mara black
Lower your voice. I have a bad feeling about this… (whispers)
Meanwhile… Upstairs. A knight is searching when something falls on him.
3 knight
You got something?
4 knight
No, just a shoe—wait! Why is there a tiny shoe here?
3 knight
Does it fit a small child?
4 knight
Yeah… looks like it’d fit a 4- or 5-year-old. We need to report this.
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
What is it?
4 knight
(shows shoe) This looks like it belongs to a little girl.
Damon black
(How the hell did they find that? I didn’t even know she had shoes!)
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
Lord Black… didn’t you say there were no little girls here?
Mara black
That’s just something I used to wear as a child!
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
Quit lying. You two—grab them.
They tackle Damon and the Mara to the ground.
Mara black
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I told you—it’s mine from when I was younger!
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
You expect me to believe that? Look at this thing. It’s practically falling apart.
He holds up the ruined shoe
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
More lies?
Captain Termon of the Imperial Guard
I better teach you a lesson about lying to the Imperial Guard. (Raises hand)
Meanwhile… In the Basement.
The knights open the basement door.
1 knight
Do you see that?
2 knight
Yeah… someone’s been here.
The scene is horrifying—blood, chains, a towel… a torture chamber.
1 knight
No one’s here now. Keep searching.
They move from room to room until they encounter a maid standing in front of a locked door.
Evil maid 1
I can’t let you in. Master’s orders.
2 knight
Step aside. That’s an order—from the King!
Evil maid 1
I… I’m sorry. I can’t…
He draws his sword, pointing it at her neck.
1 knight
OUT OF THE WAY. NOW.
Evil maid 1
I-I’m afraid I can’t… I’m sorry…
She collapses in fear. They push past her and find another locked door at the end of a long stairway.
2 knight
How many damn steps are there?
1 knight
Stop whining. I’m telling the Captain you need more training.
2 knight
No! Please don’t! 🙏🙏
They stop at the final door. A guard is stationed outside.
Guard
What are you doing here?
1 knight
None of your business.
Guard
(What is this aura…?)
He’s knocked out instantly. They try the door—it’s locked.
1 knight
Damn it! (starts ramming the door)
The door bursts open. They freeze.
1 knight
We’ve found her…
1 knight
GO! RUN TO HIS HIGHNESS—NOW!
One knight dashes out while the other stays behind.
2 knight
(panting) Almost there…
And then he finally saw them
2 knight
YOUR HIGHNESS!!!!
He sees the mysterious man
2 knight
YOUR HIGHNESS!!!
He drops to one knee, panting.
2 knight
We’ve found her!
Leonardo
You… you really found her?
