Chapter 1- Confinement

???'s POV
I looked out of the only source of light, the  wooden and barred window of the dim room I was silently populating. The bright moonlight escaping through the window shined down at an angle onto my face as I yearned to see the outside world from this cage of mines.

My heart dropped when I thought of a familar dark thougth of mines. A thought where I assume that my family had forgotten me and lost their love for me. Thus seeing that they had given me up to the Sohma family and never visiting or even saving me from this enclosure.

Tears ran down from my eyes as I leaned my head onto my pale hands that held onto the edges of the cold and wooden window frame. The world I've yet to venture beyond this room is so close yet so far.

I can no longer escape from the window in private anymore because of the large bars that barracked me inside. As for the door, it is always locked with a key, preventing others from meeting me in secret. That itself pain me to no longer see someone I yearned to embrace. Someone who would hug me and tell me that evrything would be all right.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to gain freedom until the time has come... Until two weeks before I turn fifth-teen, only until then I can leave this place. The regretful day when it turns March 20th...

I quickly wiped away the escapee tears that rushed to drip down from my chin and turned my body toward the sound of the door opening.

'Huh? Who could have come here? The door is always locked—'

My eyes widened once I realized that only one person in this estate would have the key to my room. Fully facing the silhouette with wary eyes, they slid the door shut and approached me. They walked towards the light of the galant moon, exposing their already guessed self to me. My body was tense as the cruel person stopped in front of me and kneeled down to balance the eye level between us.

Being forced backwards until my back slammed against the wall underneath the window, Akito's hand retracted from my cheek. A loud slap bounced around the walls of my confinement.

"It doesn't matter if you're let free because you'll never be accepted!" Forcing me into the dark corner by pulling onto my long pink hair, I was thrown to the wall quite harshly. I let out a small gasp at the contact of my back hitting against the wall. Akito lifted my head by pulling up my hair upwards and smirked evilly with hatred staring straight into my eyes.

"You're pathetic and a slut! Just because you have a pretty face and perfect body, you think that you'll be accepted! You're wrong! People would just throw you out!"

I received a kick to my stomach and muffled out a small shriek of agony. Pulling back his foot from my stomach, Akito scoffed loudly.

"You're disgusting...! You can never surpass me! The Gods made a mistake to think such foolishness!"

I just left my head hanging down, my eyes continuing to stare at only my lap. I refuse to have my energy wasted at this foolishness. After all, it's not like it's the first time I had to sit through Akito's physical and emotional abuse.

"Your family abandoned you to suffer like this!"

My eyes jumped and my fingers twitched. I don't care if he slaps me whenever I talk back, but I definitely hate it when Akito dares talk about anyone abandoning anyone...!

"You're wrong....!" I hissed.

"What did you say, you bitch?!" He slapped me on the same cheek, making me wince more, but I gritted my teeth and hardened my stare.

"Abandoned?! I was brought here because of the stupid—"

*SLAP*

"Shut up! You have no clue what you are saying...! You have no right to talk back to me! You've been abandoned! No one would love you!"

Akito was panting heavily with annoyance and hatred laced with his uneven breathing. The slap was the most painful one that I've received in awhile. And I thought I was numb enough to not feel anything... It sting so bad that it might leave a bruise for a few days...

I would cry out my frustration, but I knew that Akito would only hurt me more if I do so. All I could do is silently hold back my fuming rage.

After constant put-downs and beatings, Akito  stopped once he got bored of my lack of responses. He stepped back from my numb and bruised body and scoffed in disgust. Walking over to the door, he opened it and before he left, he said his last words for now.

"You won't survive out there but here in the Sohma family... Just know that you'll never be accepted by anyone because the Gods made a huge mistake to deliver you. I will stay at the top! You'll never ever be accepted... Even by your brother... You're hated by everyone.... Tenshi..."

A/N
I know that this chapter was really short, but as the story progresses, the chapters will hopefully get longer.

Also, thank you for putting up with my constant indecisive self when coming to this book. I unpublished and held off chapters so much, but now, I planned out the story a lot more.

So thank you for still standing by with this story and this silly author!
