"Mom please do not leave me. Please stay". I cried out.
"Sweetheart, listen to me. Stay here ok, mommy and daddy are going to come back soon. Just stay put!". Mom exclamed and I sniffed loudly.
"Mom p-please do not leave me I'm scared, those men look bad mommy. Please go and call daddy so that we can run away from those bad men". I suggested and she shook her head negatively.
"No Amphitrite! Listen to me my baby girl, just stay here and we will come back soon ok". She insisted and all I could do was nod my head vigorously.
"That's my good girl. Just hide in this wardrobe. Even if you hear a single voice do not come outside. Stay put!". She commanded.
"Just promise me that you are going to come back mommy". I said and she nodded.
"Promise mommy that you are going to stay put Amphitrite. Promise me that you are going to be safe in this wardrobe". She said and I nodded as she pecked my forehead affectionately as a tear streamed down her cheek. It felt like I was never going to see her again and daddy.
"We will always love you my beautiful Amphitrite". She said wiping a tear that was on her cheek.
"I love you too mommy and I love daddy too. Please come back to me soon".
And those five men looked bad especially the one with a scar on his left cheek.
Mom closed the door shut leaving me in the darkness of the wardrobe shaking like a leaf that is being blown by the wind.
"Mom and dad please be safe. Do it for me!". I said a quick prayer.
Few minutes later I heard an agonizing scream and that voice sounded like.... Like my mother's voice and I muffled my cries. Those bad men are hurting my mother.
"Please let her go!". I heard my father's pleading voice coming from downstairs.
"DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME EDWARD! JUST F**KING TELL ME WHERE THE GODDAMN DOCUMENT IS!". A loud voice rang out and I flinched.
"I told you that I do not know Lucien. Please just let us go". His voice chocked out with emotions.
"SEARCH HIS F**KING GODDAMN HOUSE!!". The man commanded and I heard loud footsteps climbing the stair case. I heard the door creaking and I whimpered as I quickly covered my mouth with my palm.
Please almighty do not let them find me.
I heard the breaking of furniture as I clutched my dress tightly, shaking vigorously in trepidation.
"Check the wardrobe!". Another one said and my eyes dimmed. They are going to find me, the bad men are going to hurt me badly.
"It's locked". Another voice said and I sighed in relief.
"THEN BREAK IT OPEN YOU FOOL!". The one who said they should check the wardrobe growled and tears gushed out of my eyes. I have never been scared like this in my entire life.
The wardrobe door started banging loudly and I moved back at each loud bang until my back hit the wall of the wardrobe. With a loud bang the door flew open and I screamed loudly.
The man smirked wickedly, "look what we have here!". He said loudly alerting the others.
"Did you find it?". Another one asked.
"I think I just found Edward's treasure". He muttered and the three of them stood in front of me with a grimace on their faces and my legs wobbled as I felt hot liquid running down my thighs.
"Oh! Did little princess mess up her panties?". The other one mocked and they laughed loudly.
"I didn't know that Edward had a daughter. She looks nine to ten years old. So that means that bastard has been hiding his daughter from us for ten years". He said in amusement.
"The boss will be so thrilled to see Edward's little princess!". He said in a slurry voice and I shook my head negatively. "No, no please let me go!". I said with my small voice.
"Grab her quickly Oscar, so that we can go downstairs". The other one commanded.
The man grabbed me roughly and I screamed in pain as I bit his hand hard moving away from him. "You little swine! How dare you!". He growled slapping me hard across the face and I screamed in excruciating pain. I started feeling nauseous, my head started aching and slowly but surely I was losing my strength. It felt like I was going to die soon.
The man grabbed me as they dragged me downstairs. The sight before my eyes broke me into million pieces. Both my parents were kneeling down like some slaves in front of the man with a scar.
"Look what we found boss". The Oscar man said proudly and the man turned to look at me. He looked scary and savage.
He looked like a mafia king. He was very huge and unfamiliar.
The amusement look on my parent's eyes was priceless. The man took steady steps towards me and hovered above me.
He squated in front of me and held my arm not too roughly.
"Amphitrite!". My mother yelled with tears streaming down her cheeks. "Please let my daughter go Lucien. She has nothing to do with all this, she's just a child!". My dad screamed loudly.
"Shut them up!". The so called Lucien said firmly as the other men roughly manhandled my parents.
"Please let them go sir". I pleaded in a whisper and he looked at me blankly.
"Do you want me to let them go little raven?". He asked and I nodded my head vigorously. "Don't hurt my mommy and daddy please". I pleaded with him.
"How old are you little raven?". He asked.
"I'm t-ten years old". I stammered swallowing a lump on my throat.
"What a clever girl you have here Edward. I cannot believe that you hid her from the world for ten whole years, that's so clever of you". He said with a low groan.
"Just to think of think of it she would make me some billions if I put her into the market. My clients loves young virgin girls like her and to top it all up she's beautiful". He said loudly and my mother shook her head negatively.
"What do you think Tristan?". He asked and the Tristan smirked mischievously.
"Who knows maybe I might be the one to buy her. I love young beautiful girls like her". Tristan said licking his lips.
Why would someone want to buy me? They want to take me away from my parents.
"Just tell me where the document is Edward and I will let her go!". He growled and I flinched.
"I already told you that I do not know Lucien. I'm telling you the truth here. Just let my little princess go". My father pleaded and I sobbed silently.
"Just to think of it, I no longer want the document. You can keep it I will take your daughter instead she would give me more money than that document". He said with an expressionless face hauling me on his shoulder and I screamed loudly.
"Amphitrite!". My mother called out loudly.
"Mom please save me!". I screamed punching him with my little fists.
"Get rid of them!". He growled loudly and I stiffened. I heard gunshots and my mother's low screams and everywhere went silent. I started punching me harder with my fists and he dropped me down as I ran into the house only to see my parents laying on the floor in the pool of their own blood.
"No!". I screamed loudly hurrying towards them shaking my mom vigorously. "Mommy please wake up. Amphitrite wants you to wake up!".
"Daddy please wake up!". I screamed shaking him vigorously but he did not move a muscle. "You b-both p-promised me that you will n-never l-leave me!" I stuttered and cried out loudly.
"Let's go little raven. Your parents are gone". He said keenly dragging me away from the scene. I couldn't cry anymore as I ran out of tears.
"Burn the house down!". He demanded and they burned it down in front of my eyes. They burned my parents in front of my eyes like they were nothing.
From that moment I changed, everything changed. Nothing matters anymore, my heart turned to stone. My smile disappeared, I was no longer my father's princess. I was no longer my mother's little baby Amphitrite.
I was different and all because of five men.
I couldn't let them take me away like that so I bit his hand hard as I ran away faster than my little legs can carry me. "Don't just stand there you bunch of fools! Follow that little girl and bring her back to me. She is my gem!". He growled but I did not look back. I did not want to look back.
I heard many footsteps behind me and I ran faster and faster. I was getting tired but I couldn't let them get to me, I couldn't let the take me.
I hid behind a tree breathing heavily with my heart pounding faster threatening to leave my chest.
"Where the hell is she?". The other one asked with a groan.
"We cannot hear footsteps anymore, it definitely means that she is here somewhere. Let's search for her until we find her because if we don't find her boss is going to kill us". The other who's voice I recognize to be Oscar's rang out.
"Come out little girl we know that you are here somewhere!". Another one called and I stiffened.
Their footsteps started approaching the tree and I clutched my mouth tightly with my palm praying for them not to find me.
Unfortunately I stepped into a dry leaf and it made a crunch sound, "behind the tree!" they yelled and I started running again.
"It's better you stop little girl because if we find you then you will not like what we are going to do to you". He threatened but I didn't stop. I'm not losing without a fight.
I promised my mom that I'm going to be safe and that's definitely what I'm going to do. Even if I die, I won't let them touch me.
I arrived at a dead end. In front of me was a cliff and beneath it was raging water, my mother has told me stories of this river. She said that a person who falls in there never comes back. He or she dies instantly.
"There's no where to go little one. Just come and we will leave in peace". He said coming towards me.
"Stay... Stay back o-or else I'm gonna jump". I threatened with a stutter and they laughed. "Are you really threatening us little girl?". He growled loudly and I flinched.
I moved backwards until I reached the end side of the cliff and stood there. "Stop! You are going to die little girl". They yelled loudly.
"Even if I die, I won't let you monsters touch me. You killed my parents without a backwards glance, you killed them like animals!". I yelled breathlessly and they chuckled.
"Even if I die today! I will rise from the dead and kill you all! Remember this you monsters! I'm going to come back for my revenge!... I'm going to avenge the death of my parents! I'm going to kill you all!". I vowed glaring at them maliciously.
"Oh please little girl. Stop being dramatic and come here so that we can leave. You are wasting our time here". He said with a smirk.
"I'M AMPHITRITE! QUEEN OF THE SEA AND I WILL NOT DIE WITHOUT AVENGING MY PARENTS!!". I growled with a voice that was unfamiliar to mine as I threw myself off the cliff into the raging water.
I couldn't swim and I couldn't breath under water until I couldn't keep my eyes open. Darkness swallowed me and I gave in.
