Now, I've been brought into this dimly lit, shabby looking room without anyone telling me what's going on.

"Sit." The one word order comes and I quickly sit on the chair that has been pulled out for me. There's a table In front of me and a chair on the other side. My cuffed hands rest on my lap as I take inventory of the room. It's almost completely dark and cold and has an eerie feeling that's drowning me in fear.

His piercing brown eyes pin me in place with it's spikes and I draw in a deep breath and shake my head. "I... hate her because she's our father's favourite child. He always treats her differently, specially, simply because her mother was his true mate. I hate her for that."
