Too Late for Regret, Mother
487 Views · Ongoing · Daisy Swift
Returned to my biological family, I didn’t find a home. I became a living blood bag for my adopted sister.
On the night of our shared eighteenth birthday gala, I weakly tugged at my mother's dress. "Mom, please... no needles just for tonight. I only want to stand in the corner and watch the cake being cut."
"Elena is suffocating in agony, and all you care about is a slice of cake?"
Disgusted, my mother ordered my brother to lock me in the attic with heavy silver chains.
When the fire broke out, completely paralyzed by the toxic silver and severe blood loss, I burned alive in the dark.
Now a phantom, I drifted down to the glittering ballroom, only to overhear my mother's cold laugh.
"Elena's condition was cured three years ago. We kept draining her just to break her spirit," she sneered. "Did that street rat really think blood ties meant she could steal Elena's place?"
My sister was never dying. My years of living hell, my agonizing death... it was all just a brutal, calculated punishment for daring to exist.
