Cthulhu Mythos In Cultivation World

" you little shit." yelled a man as he pushed a little girl onto the hard ground. She winced barely knocking over a stool yet the impact her fragile body made with the hard surface was enough to circulate pain all across her body.

There was red marks on her arms and faint scars. Her entire body was aching as she sniffed .

"how many times did I tell you not to fucking cry , huh?" the man once again yelled at her prompting her to apologize "I'm sorry." yet she couldn't keep the years from falling.

Abigail looked at her father only to be slapped across the face . She held her cheek, feeling it sting and knew there was going to be another mark there.

Her father pointed at her "look at me with those eyes again and I'll make sure to pluck them out." he sneered which made her flinch on hearing the threat. He didn't care that she was scared, he didn't care about what he was doing to her.

"stop it , she's just a child." someone yelled, although her voice came out weak and movement didn't appear to be swift,she managed to embrace the little girl as it to shield her from the threat "you don't have any right to treat her this way."

Joseph laughed manically, he looked like a mad man and scary that even Abigail couldn't help but sink herself further into her mum's embrace.

He grabbed a handful of her hair "be grateful you get to eat from my money you whore. Both of you are worthless trash, cheap even and neither of you have a say on what goes on in this house." he spat on her face before slapping her hard. The sound resonated across the room that had Abigail whimper.

Apart from the way her mother shielded her entire body, Abigail also blocked both of her ears, her body trembling. She felt weak , unable to do anything when this man bits her mother. In her mind, she swore she was going to do something when she gets older.

"clean this place up before I get back otherwise I might have to throw you both out into the streets." he marched out of the house. None of them said anything until they heard the door closing.

Abigail's cries sudden became clear, her suppressed emotions poured out uncontrollably.

"Shhh it okay it's alright he's gone now." her mom consoled, caressing Abigail's hair.

Abigail cried "I'm sorry, you got hit because of me."

"it's not your fault." the woman mumbled, a tear slipping, she didn't want Abigail seeing her weak.

The little pulled away , drying her tears with the back of her hand. Her face was red from crying. She took in the older woman's condition. Bruises on her face and the corner of her mouth. Marks around her neck and one could tell it was from a beating.

There was silence for the first few seconds and it appeared Abigail wanted to say something but when she didn't...

"come ,let's get you ready for school." they stood up from the cold ground and the woman staggered as her leg was hurt. Abigail noticed this and asked "are you alright?" nodding Anna assured with a smile as if to put the child at ease.

As Abigail got ready for school, Anna combed her soft black hair her gaze fell on her bruised and injured hands as she wondered the kind of future that awaits her daughter.

"when I grow up mummy, I'm going to make a lot of money." Abigail suddenly declared with a smile. This was her new resolve. She didn't like the way her father treated both of them and she did want to shed any more tears so her only option was to go to school work hard and make a lot of money to take care of her mum.
