"I miss Mama and Papa. I want to be loved...to have friends. Yet, no one wants me."
I lifted my head to face him, glaring.
"Is that not enough of a resolution to be trained by you? Will I ever be worthy of your guidance? Or am I nothing to you too?" I snarled, trembling.
If he deemed me not ready, I would accept my reality: that I'd never be good enough for this world.
He took a step forward— followed by another. In a few long strides, he was directly in front of me. Whatever barrier that shielded him grew in size— stopping the rain from its hard descent against my pale skin.
I lowered my head, closing my eyes as I readied my heart for the same set of words. Instead, he patted my head gently.
When was the last time anyone had patted my head? When had someone last shown me an ounce of affection instead of inflicting pain?
I covered my eyes with my hands, crying harder. He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me into an embrace.
I didn't hesitate— crying my heart out in his arms. If this was the last time I'd have someone to listen to my cries, I'd let every tear fall. I'd let go of all the pain that had piled up from the years of abuse and hate. The world would feel the sadness I'd locked inside my soul.
When I shed the last of my tears and my whimpers softened, I pulled away, looking up at him for his answer. He gave me a small smile and his silver eyes softened.
"You’re ready," he whispered.
