Tormented Hearts EP 6

Guards

*Grasping her right hand tightly, forcefully propelling her forward with every step*

- When they caught sight of her, a wave of utter shock engulfed them. Her frail body bore the weight of countless scars, her very essence seeping out through the wounds. Blood trickled from her nose and mouth, staining her once radiant features. Her eyes, once filled with hope, now burned with a haunting emptiness, a reflection of the substances that held her captive. The torment of three agonizing hours of shock treatment had left her soul shattered, her mind slowly unraveling. She was fading, bit by bit, her smile, her laughter, all fading into the abyss of her pain. Yet, in the midst of her silent suffering, no one seemed to notice or care. -

- Under Natalia's command, the guards silently acknowledged and, unbeknownst to Audrey, one of them discreetly reached behind her back. -

BROTHER IS DEAD! *Giggles*

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Feeling a deep ache in his heart, her words tear his heart apart*

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Mutter* D-Don't.

*Her hands quivered as she grasped the knife tightly* Y-You heartless be-betrayers, how c-could you a-abandon b-baby Audrey?

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Eyes grew wide with alarm* AUDREY, PLEASE, DROP THE KNIFE!

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*In a state of shock, his eyes widened with fear*

Nova Conti (FL Nanny)

*Voice shook with anxiety* A-Audrey, I beg you, re-release the knife.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Chuckled darkly, her voice filled with venom* Deceivers! Every single one of them... are liars.

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Trembling with fear* Mom, please call Dad.

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

*Nods* Y-Yes.

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Approaching her gently* Princess, I beg you to lower that knife. Please, do it for brother's sake.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Voice filled with disgust* Get away from me, you hideous monster!

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*With a pained gulp* M-Me? A monster?

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*His body stiffened in shock, unable to move or utter a single word*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Charging at Dante with the knife in hand* Traitors deserve nothing but death!

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Small smile*

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Heart skipped a beat as shock coursed through his veins, leaving him speechless* A-Audrey.

Nova Conti (FL Nanny)

*Silently observing every detail, taking it all in without uttering a word*

(Audrey, you're such a fool! The more you act out, the quicker I'll kick you out!)

Guards

*Delicately strike her vulnerable spot on the neck, aiming to incapacitate her instantly*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

D-Dadda, I b-beg of y-you, rescue me! *Her body succumbed to unconsciousness, devoid of strength*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Slyly wiping away her crocodile tears* We better restrain her on the bed, or who knows what she'll do to us later.

Guards

*Concealing a mischievous grin* Absolutely, ma'am.

Guards

*Scooping up Anastasia and making a hasty exit*

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

(What kind of father am I? I'm utterly worthless, incapable of safeguarding my precious daughter. The weight of my inadequacy crushes my soul, leaving me drowning in a sea of despair. How can I bear the guilt of failing to shield her from the cruelties of this world? Every breath I take is a painful reminder of my profound failure as a father.)

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

(How did she change so suddenly? I'm really sorry, but I feel so helpless. I can't even keep my sister safe from those wicked bitxhes. It's like my hands are tied, and I can't do anything to protect her.)

Nova Conti (FL Nanny)

*Tired look* (I'm seriously worn out from dealing with all that crap. It's like a never-ending cycle of nonsense that drains every ounce of my energy.)

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

Why me, God? What did I ever do to deserve such a cruel fate? *Heart feels like it's being squeezed.*
