-----
Cassandra was enslaved against her will, and although she had considered escaping with her sister, Ruby was caught before she could bring her to the outside and run away, and after seeing her sister chained and being brought inside a wagon, she couldn\'t do much than to follow her and protect her and find a way to escape out of this predicament together. Cassandra had already killed many times, and she was not the same girl as before, her past shaped her into someone ruthless, but her mind had yet to become corrupted by the darkness of the world. Deep inside her heart, there was still a light of hope, as long as her sister was there.
"So your name is Cassandra and this little girl is Ruby…? Hmph, you better put your weight in this house."
Cassandra was bought with her sister by a noble family, the lady of the noble family was a ruthless woman, who had bought her to become a maid in the house. She was initially treated well by the other maids, but the woman was a sick person, she enjoyed making the maids suffer for entertainment. Unlike Cassandra and Ruby who were born in poverty, this noble woman was someone that always had everything in her life, so overly bored of her luxury, she sought pleasure in making those miserable even more miserable.
She tormented Cassandra and Ruby for anything, if they ever committed a mistake, they were hit by the whips that this noble woman had for a spirit, it was strong and hurt a lot, and each time someone did something that displeased her, she would summon her whips and whip them out into the ground, until they were completely covered in blood.
Over time, Cassandra tried to resist the urge of killing her, as she was her master and she was being forced to obey her and serve her so she and her sister could have a better life together. Even with the abuse, they finally had two comfortable beds to sleep on, and two or three plentiful meals a day, alongside clothes and even some payment.
But the abuse was slowly making Cassandra lose her temper, and even more as she saw the lady hitting her beloved little sister, Ruby, who always committed mistakes because she was so overly nervous, her little hands were always trebling, and every night Ruby would cry while hugging her, she was suffering too much.
However, despite the sorrow, she contained herself, telling Ruby that she had to endure the pain, and that this life was way better than fending off by themselves in the streets and starve to death, or being caught by some man and getting assaulted or captured… Ruby understood, but still feared the lady\'s whips, and often ran away whenever she saw her, this, ended creating a sense of revelry against the lady, who began to target Ruby more and more…
Cassandra continued to endure with her sister, but one day, after Ruby had just reached her 8 years of age, she suddenly disappeared. That morning Cassandra didn\'t found her, no matter where she went, and when she asked the lady, she said she had not seen her anywhere, and if she dared to escape the house, that she wasn\'t allowed inside anymore.
Heartbroken, Cassandra tried to look for Ruby all around the town whenever she had free time, asked the people, and more, but she couldn\'t find her. She was such a pretty little girl with red eyes, how come nobody could ever find her?
Over the weeks, and months, Cassandra felt dispirited, her entire world was breaking apart, and she felt pain for having let her sister run away… She thought about her every day and night, praying for her to be well, but her reason to live was fading away, as her sister was no longer here… Nonetheless, she continued to live, until one night, while cleaning the house at night, she heard the sound of a girl weeping.
Unmistakably, that small little faint weep was her sister\'s voice, Cassandra almost went insane, looking for her sister everywhere in the house, she somehow was in here, but how? She searched everywhere, and even began to grab the keys of places she wasn\'t allowed to enter and explored the underground dungeon, finding countless corpses of former slaves that were said to have disappeared by older maids… they were all here, dead.
She continued walking, searching the weep of Ruby, until she finally found her sister, Cassandra was impacted by what she saw, as her eyes began to cry desperately, her little sister Ruby was chained inside a cell, her entire body was covered in horrendous scars, her face was burned, she was missing her left eye, and all her hair, and even more horrendously, her two feet were cut off and several of her hand fingers were missing…
"A-Ahhh… Ruby…! RUBYYYYY!!!"
"Bwig… shis?"
Her sister\'s tongue was cut off so she couldn\'t talk, and her words came out distorted, horrendously. Cassandra was attacked by a sense of pure horror, pain, disgust, suffering, and grotesqueness. The one behind this was nobody else than the Lady of the house, the mad woman kept slaves here and tortured them until they died in the most horrendous ways, she choose the most rebel ones, who dared to run away from her beatings, and did all sorts of horrendous things.
Cassandra always thought that rich people were different, that unlike her, because they grew with riches and everything in their lives, hey were never forced to do horrendous things such as killing… But she was wrong, the world, both poor and rich people, they were all insane, corrupt, they were worse than demons.
Cassandra freed her sister and put her on some clothes, covering her little and horrendous face, as Ruby was so traumatized she couldn\'t help but cry and cry while attempting to hug her sister, her entire body was almost skeletal, starving and barely being given food to stay alive… That day, Cassandra intended to escape.
