The room was as dark as the night,as Lynx who had been struggling in distress to unchain herself lowered her head in anger and murmured a few curses. At the moment she saw a faint of light entering the room from the door entrance. She couldn't help but mumble.
"Fuck this life." And then in an instant the whole room became clear. In front of her stood the shadow master . Lynx could see through the mask that the man was smiling. His eyes were smiling!! This man was truly a despicable being. Yet she could be called him her life saver since childhood. So she swallowed back all her despicable thought directed to the man and softly called,
" Master." The shadow master only chuckled and asked,
" Do you know what you have done?" Lynx only looked at him in confusion. She had already done many things in her life to know what of those things, her master was referring to. She then asked," What do you mean?"
The master asked again," Don't you know what wrong action you had done?" Lynx blinked a couple of times and slightly shook her head. The master sighed and slightly shook his head too.
" Inform me when you know." With this he walked out and just like that, the room was dark again.
" That old shit with no heart and blood. May you trip and lose all your teeth." She uttered looking on the ground. Her body felt extremely weak and painful. She was sure that her face was also as pale as if she was a being which had never had blood.
Despite being dark, the room was also terribly cold.
" So this is how Raven felt?" She asked herself in whispers as she remembered the day Raven was also as tied as her. Unlike her, Raven's body was full of wounds due to the fact that she was whipped. Lynx was really the man's favorite girl that except for being chained, she had no physical injury. At that time, Lynx stood in front of Raven looking at her coldly,as Raven also gazed at her, her gaze unfixed, her face pale, her lips dried as if the sun had been put on her lips. She really was looking not worser than a corpse that Lynx also found herself blurting it to her.
" You look worser than a corpse." That was what she said. Raven whose voice wasn't getting out of her throat only gave a faint painful smile. Now Lynx gave a bitter smile. Who looked worser than a corpse now? She couldn't help wondering what Raven would do if she saw her like this. Would she make fun of her or rescue her? Unlike Raven who was always locked up in the room due to some minor mistakes,Lynx never got this kind of punishment. She always found a way to get away with it. She probably was such a lucky cat then while Raven was just a cat cursed with misery. Every day when Raven was locked up, Lynx could visit her with a bottle of water and a meal. She clearly felt sympathy for the girl while that girl clearly hated her. But who could refuse to eat when they were observing the death door opened for them because of hunger. She ate hoping that , that death door could just close. Sometimes Lynx could come and told her countless stories about their childhood. She countless told her that there was no reason to hate each other over minor things as childhood besties. But what was that she called minor? Raven either gave a bitter smile, told her to get lost or to seal her mouth shut. Sometimes Lynx could listen to her, others she couldn't.
Then one day, Raven killed two servants who were talking shit about her. She didn't mean to but the anger which had been silently locked up in her heart took control. She was locked up after receiving a very good beating that she thought that the person beating her, had a PHD and atleast a hundred years of experience in that action. After drinking water from Lynx , she was dragged in the hall in front of all servants. She was then forced to knell down. The shadow master sat aside with ease as he observed everyone in the hall playing with a marble in his hand.
" Lynx." He called calmly.
" Yes, master."
The shadow master gave her a signal and she went and stood in front of Raven unsheathing her sword and pointed it at her.
Raven looked at her and gave a small bitter smile but said nothing as she closed her eyes.
Once,they were like triplets when they were still kids living in the streets depending on each other to live until one day one of them disappeared. With one gone they were now left twins. One Raven and another Lynx. They swore to protect each other no matter what. But now that protecting each other sounded more like a joke as now one was going to kill another.Lynx grip on the sword tightened as she recalled that. With Raven gone, then she would remain alone. Lynx then with her two hands holding the sword, she stabbed into Raven's chest. Another moment, she removed the sword from Raven's chest and Raven fell down. One of the servants checked the body and confirmed she was died. Even though the wound didn't look too deep, Lynx was well known for her smooth killing skills. Lynx inwardly sighed in relief as she remembered the drug she put in Raven's water that could make a person be like a dead one for a few hours. Raven was also unaware of that.She asked that she could go and bury her herself and she was allowed to,as someone who was considered her twin. She secretly transported Raven in the street hoping someone would save her and she was saved.
After remembering all of that , Lynx asked herself if that's what wrong she had done but after thinking careful she realized that there was no way that the shadow master didn't know what she had done all these years so that was clearly not the reason her beautiful self was chained in that dark fridge called a room. She continued to think but realized that her small brain wasn't going to stretch and become big so she stopped forcing herself to avoid that her brain could bust. And for what reason was she going to exhaust herself for nothing anyway?
" Shit my chained self!!" She cursed under her breath and then scanned the area." Of course when you spend a lot of time in the dark you start to see. That means that if I was born in the dark, raised in the dark and never got out of the dark, I would be seeing as if there was a sun." She then laughed at her own words. She just wanted to busy herself. She then swallowed and shouted," CAN I GET A BLANKET? THIS PLACE IS HELLY COLD."
A servant out there, poked his eyes in and smiled at saying mockingly," Princess, don't worry that coldness will make your skin perfect." The man wasn't seeing Lynx and she wasn't also seeing him but Lynx looked at the door as if she could see the manand prepared herself to curse him but she suddenly sneezed and then sniffed afterwards.
" Bless you." The man said
" Thanks my fellow ' perfect skin'." She said with a smile.
