Chapter 207 - 206 - Mom? Father?

The fox-eared girl named Luna leaned over her room window and began to remember her past while trying to calm herself.

She closed her eyes and traveled to a few months in the past.

"Sister?" As she opened her eyes, she saw her little brother Ward standing in front of her. He was as cute as ever as he wiggled his little ears over his head.

"What is it, Ward?"

"Mom and Dad are calling you in for lunch. How long are you going to be doing that?" Ward looked down at the shirt that was being sewn into his sister's hand.

Luna smiled at Ward and then stood up.

"Let's go." Leaving the room she shared with her brother, she found herself facing the dining room. Since her house had the kitchen, living room, and dining room set up in just one room, as soon as she left the bedroom she found her mother and father sitting at the table.

The food had been served and was in rusty pans on the table.

Luna walked over and sat down. As she sat down the old chair creaked along with the wooden floor. Looking up she also noticed a hole that had appeared on the roof.

"Another hole has appeared." She complained as she poured her food.

"I'll go to fix it later, don't worry." Her father said as he ate what little food was left on his plate.

Luna looked at the pans on the table and noticed that the amount of food was even less than before. Her mother looked sad and her father despondent. Her brother, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind.

But she said nothing so as not to make her parents sad and ate as little as she could so that there would be food left for dinner.

"You don't have to hold back, you can eat as much as you want." Her mother said as she tried to encourage Luna to keep eating.

"I'm already full. Now I need to get back to sewing that shirt to deliver today."

"Is this woman already charging you?"

"Yes, she wants me to deliver that shirt later this week, so I need to hurry," Luna answered her mother as she stood up.

"Don't you want mom to help you? I'm good at it."

"I know you're good at it, but you don't have to worry, all right?"

"Sure."

After that little talk, Luna went back to her room and focused on sewing the shirt. And so she stayed until evening. When she looked out the broken window, the moon was already shining brightly in the sky.

The silence through her village showed that all the people were already asleep.

"I'd better go to sleep," Luna said as she got out of bed to get some water. Looking into the other side of the bedroom she could see her brother sleeping peacefully as he was illuminated by the moonlight.

Leaving the bedroom she went directly to a makeshift drinking fountain that was created by her father. Using a bucket made of clay and a wooden lid. A wooden faucet was also created.

She took a wooden cup and got some water.

She leaned her back against the wall as she drank the water and looked at the dining table being lit by the hole in the ceiling.

"Didn't my father say he would fix this?"

After finished drinking her water, she started to walk towards her room to lie down. But suddenly a strange sound began to catch her attention.

Pat~~

Pat~~

It was the sound of many footsteps quickly approaching the door of her house.

Boom~

With a loud sound, the front door of her house was kicked in. With indescribable fear, she ran into her room and closed the door. When she entered she found herself faced with Ward startled under the blanket.

"Ah." As soon as she pulled on his blanket, he screamed a little but was soon stopped from continuing to scream by his sister.

"Hide under the bed now, quick!" Luna said low. Ward nodded at her and without a second thought went under the bed. Luna took his blanket and also some straw from his mattress and put it there to hide her brother.

As this was happening, Luna could hear some shouting and some men's voices.

Inside her house, she could also hear her father's voice. He sounded quite annoyed, but soon after shouting a little, he had gone completely silent.

But soon after that was her mother's voice.

A shrill scream that pierced Luna's ears was heard. It was as if she had taken a stab to her chest, it was an indescribable feeling.

At the same time that she felt the need to help and tried to get up to run out of the bedroom, she couldn't move. She was so afraid.

'What do I do? What should I do? Should I hide?' She desperately thought as she looked everywhere and felt her hands becoming cold and trembling. At the same time, her body was losing strength and she felt an overwhelming urge to vomit and urinate.

'I want to hide.' She thought as she crawled across the floor and held her piss. At the same time, she began to cry and crawled with difficulty under her bed. 

With some difficulty because of her trembling hands and her breathlessness that had started to get to her, she managed to hide properly under the bed. While holding back all the fluids that wanted to spew out of her body because of nervousness, she stayed still.

She protected her mouth with her hands and remained quiet, she just listened to everything.

The desperate screams of her mother were piercing her ears while loud laughter from several men was heard. But not only her mother's screams of despair and pain, but those of many other people around her.

She closed her eyes and this time decided to cover her ears as her whole body trembled.

Luna managed to hold back her piss until the door to her room was opened with force.

"Is there someone here?" A man's voice reached Luna's ears. She did her best to control herself, but unfortunately, her pants were all wet with her urine.

But fortunately, the man didn't look under the beds and left without looking for them.

####

Some time had passed since her mother's screams had stopped. Luna continued the whole time with her ears plugged to try to hear as little as possible of her mother's cries of despair.

Enduring all the stench of urine that was down there, she finally got up the courage to take off the cloth she had been using to protect herself and looked into the room. There, she couldn't see anyone.

And it was already daylight.

'What time is it already? Have I been here all night?' She carefully got out from under the bed. She couldn't hear anyone's voice inside her house, and she couldn't hear anyone's voice outside her house either.

Taking great care not to make any sound, she went over to Ward's bed and removed the straw and blanket she had used to hide him. When she removed the blanket, Ward looked terrified.

He looked at her with his eyes wide open as he trembled.

Not unlike her, he looked like he had peed right there on the floor and his face was swollen and dirty from the dust that had mixed with his tears.

"Stay here a little longer, all right? I'm going to take a look around the house." Ward nodded and continued quietly under the bed.

Then Luna walked to his bedroom door that had been closed and slowly opened the door. She opened the door just a little and peeked. There she found nothing. 

Nobody was there.

But the furniture and closets had all been broken. The floor was broken and damaged chairs were thrown on the floor.

'Shit, they broke everything. But this is no time to care about that. Where's my mom and dad?' She thought still hopeful that she could find her mom and dad.

So she started walking.

The first thing she smelled was the huge smell of alcoholic drinks.

Looking in the corners of the room she could see a few bottles.

"Disgusting." She walked towards her parents' room slowly.

"Father? Mother?" She said as she slowly opened the bedroom door.

The first thing she smelled was a huge smell of iron. No, it was the smell of blood.

And the first thing she saw was a huge pool of blood near the door.

"Urgh"

She fell backward as she saw her father's body thrown on the floor over the blood.

And her mother's naked body on the bed was completely violated.

With a feeling of revulsion, disgust, and anger, Luna could not stand it and began to vomit everything in her stomach.

She crawled away from there because she didn't have the courage to keep looking at her parents.

"Hic... Hic...." While crying and sobbing desperately she ran to the bedroom again where her brother was waiting for her.
