Sorrows & Escapes (T/W: Abuse, killing, forced abortion)

Days turn into weeks since that incident happened, and I had been very... Different... I became slouchy, more sick, and... Always crying.

He checked me to the village doctor and to my horror... I was 3 weeks p... Pregnant... And the wedding was in three days...

I wasn't ready, everything came down on me like a landslide, my legs grew weak as I broke down in front of the doctor, I cried... Cried... And cried, Avion tried to 'comfort' me, but the only reason why he's even trying is to not get dirt on his own good name, he turns and leaves, holding me by my waist and slightly pulling me out of the doctor's office.

When we return home, I was beaten, just until I was numb, at this point I don't think he cared about bruising at places visible to the naked eye... he... He just does it...

Now, I am in my bedroom, looking at my bruises and cleaning them, before my eyes shifted to my stomach and I placed a gentle and caring hand on my stomach, I... I smiled, genuinely, I wanted to give this child a family, even if it was made through force.

I hoped that I could accomplish, even that, suddenly, Avion enters the room, dragging my hair and pulling me to the bed forcing me to groan in pain. "Sweetheart, our wedding is in three days... Why don't we start our honeymoon early hm?" I felt a shift in my stomach from happy to scared out of my mind, I shook my head, trying to get up, but he pulled me back down, ripping my robe open and taking me forcefully.

This... Always happens... To me, why me? Is it because I looked vulnerable and weak? Or was it because I was a royal... With full lips and pretty body and blonde hair... After what happened, I laid there crying. "Oh shut up!" I flinched, quieting my cries down to a silent weep.

I was as hopeless as a dog, trapped in a cage because he disobeyed his master... And I hated it. But I won't allow that to hold me down.

3 months later.

I stood in front of my mirror, wearing a robe as I rubbed my stomach, smiling widely, I completely forgot about any worries, any scar on my body, any other life form, and just... Was looking at my child... Growing...

I stood there for a good 20 minutes before tying my robe, making my way out of the bedroom to go and cook, it's been 2 months and a half since we've married, he kept beating me, he never put a stop to his abuses, even when he saw I was pregnant.

While washing some simple ingredients like carrots, onions tomatoes, I felt a hand wrap around me, I stiffened immediately as these hands were lightly tan, unlike my husband's hands that were as pale as my own.

"Calm down" I heard the familiar voice utter... It was one of the guards that raped me, I swallowed hard, my body trembling slightly as I turned around and looked around at the man who was dressed in a normal white shirt and brown trousers.

I avoided eye contact with him, looking down as his hands roam my stomach. "I assume this child to be mine..." I didn't respond, and that ticked him off, he slapped me, forcing me to lose my balance and falling on my side. Thankfully it wasn't a hard fall.

He looked like he had just seen a ghost and kneeled down to help me up, hugging me gently. "I'm very sorry, My King, I don't know what came over me" I only nod and looked back to my cooking, and he looked as well. "You want to finish cooking... I see, continue, I will stay here and watch." he whispers as he backs away, leaning on the counter behind him.

I continue to cook, my hands moving skillfully as I absentmindedly began to hum, something I picked up the habit of doing as a comfort method.

When I finally finished cooking, he smiled and helped me set the table. "Thank you" I said, my voice barely above a whisper, and he just nods, but... I know what he was here for... Sex... They always treat me nicely for something... But this one... He was special... He was the father of my child... And I hated him.

That's when something came over me and I thought... I could just... Kill them... Pull my sword and kill him... them all... I pulled a knife from the knife holder and walked up to him while he was placing the plates and stabbed him in his back, causing him to moan in pain. He turned around, looking at me with unforgettable rage in his eyes, he reached out to strangle me, but I backed away.

He finally fell to the ground... I smiled softly at the corpse in front of me and sat at the table to eat, knowing that later on, i'll get punishment. "You force me to do ungodly things... Force me to go mad... What more do you expect from a boy who just wants to be appreciated" I spoke to myself as I took a sip of my soup.

Time moved closer and closer to dark, and I smiled knowingly, going to the bedroom and standing by the window to look, finally, I saw three to five horses returning, the one in the middle, was him, as they made their way past the gates, I hummed softly, closing my eyes as I waited... But, what I was expecting, was not what I got.

He burst into the room with rage in his eyes as he took my head and slammed it into the wall. "I leave you here for a week, and you kill someone?!" he yelled but all I did was laugh, laugh laugh laugh... As he slams and punches at my face, I laughed continuously, but my laughing stopped as I felt a sharp pain shot throughout my stomach, he kicked me... He... No! My baby!

Blood appeared at my rear but it seems he didn't care, I screamed out in pain and heartbreak, holding my stomach while sobbing uncontrollably, he finally let out a satisfied scoff before leaving, but not before leaving one last word. "Pathetic" He left the room... I see what he wanted... He wanted a reaction out of me... And you know what's fucked up... He knew... Knew that with enough force, he would harm my child, but he didn't care... He wanted to ruin me... Ruin my life... But this... Was my last straw, I gathered all the sheets, closing the door with the lock as I tied all ends of the sheets together creating a rope... I tied the free end of the handmade rope to my bed head and threw it out the window, I looked down and tugged at the material.

I began my descent, gently going down I made my way down and ran, ran like I had no home, now I did, this was just the subtle beginning of my revenge plan, I had tolerated disrespect long enough.
