chapter 1



Kaobu realm.

Nadazhda POV

"NADA" I heard my father's angry voice from downstairs, I dropped the mop and rushed to him.

As I was running down, my throbbing ribs were protesting but there was nothing I could do.

"Sire" I called softly, he marched to me and punched me while I muffled my cries.

He hated my tears!

"You whore" he growled, his eyes were red bloodshot. He reeked of alcohol and his hair looked dishevelled.

He had gone to gamble again!

"You know your work. Go get ready, my friends are coming tonight" he sneered, walking to his room wobbling.

I stared at my once a lovely father retracting figure until he entered his room.

I was once my dad's princess but since mother's death, I'd been blamed.

How I wished I was the one, not her.

He had started gambling, whoring and drinking when he was in need of money, he used me as his source of money. He gave me out to his friends to had their way with. I never resisted because if I did, I would always end up with several broken bones.

I entered my little abode that I called room. I looked at myself in the broken mirror, the real me was dead. The image the mirror was showing was a broken used girl. My once light brown eyes had become lifeless dull, my once chubby body had become scrawny. My once soft body had been designed with scars and bruises. black eyes had smeared on my eyes like makeup.

Would I ever be free?

Would continue to be their slut?

"Run away" a tiny voice whispered in my ear, I whipped my head around but found nothing.

"Where should I run to?" I asked the no one.

"Run and I shall guide you" the voice replied.

"Who are you?" I asked the voice. I waited patiently for the reply but never heard anything

Was I going crazy!!!

Talking to space!!

Maybe the lack of sleep was playing a toll on me?

I closed my eyes to rest for some minute because father forbade me from sleeping for the last two days. I closed my eyes hoping to escape what was in store for me.

§§§

"Nady baby" I heard mom voice calling my seven years old self while I giggled and ran to hug her.

"What have you been doing princess" dad came from behind and hugged mom.

"Pwaying" I replied beaming happily. "Pwaying with Mr Chuki" I responded showing them my teddy bear.

"Princess" dad ruffled my hair.

"Daddy stop!,dis-or-gani--sing my hair" I grumbled while finding it hard to pronounce the words.

"Sorry princess" he apologized.

"No" I shook my head then wiggled my eyes, "bribe me" I folded my arms on my chest.

"Okay," he said while I grinned widely showing my removed-spaced teeth.

"Guess what daddy has with him" he raised his brows while I furrowed my eyes before clapping my hands together.

"Chocolate!" I screamed happily, jumping up and down.

"I've told you severally to stop giving her chocolate," mom said sternly while her hands were on her waist. "Do you want her to have a rotten tooth" mom held dad's ear while I laughed using my hand to hold my stomach.

Dad gulped, "I'm sorry love," he said while pecking her.

"Can I have my chocolate now?" I said with my best puppy eyes that I knew no one could say no to.

§§§

I was jolted awake from my memories smiling but my smile vanished by my dad's angry frame. I gulped in fear.

He entered my room slowly while his four smirking friends following him. I scurried to the other side of bed wishing I could disappear but I knew that was impossible.

"Oh look at her," the brown-haired guy says, moisturizing his lips while looking at me with lust. I shuddered in disgust. I used my blanket to cover my shaking form, maybe it could protect me.

"That is her, she is very strong and I know you will enjoy her but please add more money when you guys are through," he said smiling widely while he looked at me with a promising gaze, 'I'm coming back for you'.

I heard the door locked, he had closed the door leaving me to these lions to devour.

"How are you sweetheart," Mr Levi said with his sweet sickened voice.

"No" I whimpered.

"No?" He asked, yanking the blanket away from me.

I needed to do something.

"Run" I heard the voice again as I stood up, I noticed one of them was behind me and ripped my cloth leaving my breast exposed. I screamed, I took the lamp on the bedside and hit him, his body fell limped on the ground.

Did I kill him?.

Others looked at me with fear before it changed to angry.

"Drop the lamp" one of them gritted out while the other two were staring at my exposed breast.

"Don't look at me?" I said shakily while holding the broken lamp with trembling hand, walking backwardly closer to the window.

"I'm going to hit you if you move a step" I stuttered.

Mr Levi ran to hold me but before he could I'd jumped through the window and fell with a loud thud on the floor.

I scrambled, running towards the wood before father could come for me. I limped through the dark wood while shivering from the cold breeze. My body was throbbing but I needed to get away. I ran deeper into the wood before I was engulfed by the fog.

I ran deeper until I heard a loud howl which made me stop abruptly.

Were there wolves around here?

I saw six wolves emerged from the shadow, I took a step back while one of them growled.

"Sleep my dear, you are save" I heard the anonymous voice again.

I felt a wave of dizziness washed over me, the world spinning around. I fell on the ground not before seeing different pairs of eyes.
