Chapter 1: A Betrayed Soul

In the desolate embrace of a room tainted with despair, Arona, a young soul bearing the weight of vulnerability and etched with scars, grapples with the inexplicable cruelty inflicted by those meant to provide solace – her own family. Tears, akin to crystalline rivers of sorrow, cascade down her blue eyes, mirroring the profound pain etched on her heart. What was once a haven now stands testament to the inhumanity that shadows her existence.

The door, a grim harbinger of further suffering, creaks open, shattering the haunting silence. Arona's plea for solitude falls on deaf ears as a maid, a relentless symbol of authority, enters with an iron grip, tearing her from the fragile sanctuary of solitude. Dread deepens, knowing she is being led towards the dreaded experiment room – a chamber where pain becomes an unwelcome companion, an ordeal thrust upon her against her will.

In this chamber of torment, Arona confronts her beautiful yet merciless sister, Mia. Her heart pounds with anticipation as she enters, discovering Mia wielding a bottle of deadly poison. The room morphs into a chilling stage where Arona, rendered helpless on the cold ground, faces the impending doom orchestrated by her own kin.

Mia, void of empathy, presents the poison to Arona, proclaiming that this day marks the culmination of her torment. Arona, however, resists, refusing to become the architect of her own demise. Mia, undeterred, commands the maids to restrain her, forcefully compelling Arona to ingest the lethal potion.

As the poison courses through her veins, Arona is engulfed in indescribable pain. The sensation of burning and the relentless sting of a thousand bees become her agonizing reality. In this moment of unbearable torment, Mia unveils a chilling truth – Arona's supposed parents were nothing but avaricious strangers who purchased her from destitution. The boy she loved was not an ally but a conspirator in her suffering.

Betrayed from every one, Arona, teetering on the brink of death, hears Mia confess that she intends to die in Mia's stead. A deadly disease that tormented Mia was callously transferred to Arona as a cruel substitution.

In her final moments, heartbroken and betrayed, Arona turns to prayer, pleading for a second chance. Vowing to exact revenge and overturn the tables on those who orchestrated her living nightmare, she fades into what she believes is the embrace of death.

Yet, fate takes a surreal twist, and Arona awakens to find herself back in the past – at the tender age of twelve, seven years before her tragic demise. The story, a symphony of anguish, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a betrayed soul, poised for a continuation of her journey through the corridors of time.

To be continued...

In the timeless dance between despair and hope, Arona emerges from the shadows of her past, ready to rewrite the script of her destiny. The symphony of resilience plays on, promising a saga of strength, revenge, and a soul refusing to be silenced.

To be continued... in a tale where echoes of pain pave the way for a triumphant melody.
