I sat in the bathtub feeling dizzy, tears streaming down my cold cheeks. Hands covering my face.

It's the third time of me being attacked, by god knows who. My uncle is never home and whenever I try to talk to Selena she shrugs me off.

The last attack left red angry bruises on my neck and ugly scratches down my back. The problem is that no matter what I do, I am not able to see or to find out what the monster is.

I even thought I was turning crazy or that I am hallucinating all the time. However the ugly bruises said otherwise.

The maids here are officially crazy.
Once I was running down the stairs to run away from that thing. The maid pushed me to the wall to silence me. I glared at her to find her glaring back with no mercy in her eyes.

I mean what the hell? I'm dying there but she wants everything to me calm and silenced?

I left her that day and ran outside the mansion to get some air. But that wasn't the end yet. Someone grabbed me by my hair and pulled me into the house again, causing me to hit full force on the ground. I felt my head spin before the world infront of me went black.

I woke up the next day in my room which was surprisingly cleaned, with no traces of a fight in it. The thing is , I never knew who did this. For all I know ,somthing in this house is not right at all.

I heard a knock on the bathroom's wooden door which made me jump.

I hesitated before I stood on my feet and went to open the door, revealing my tiered looking uncle.

"Valerie? "He asked ,wide-eyed. "H-hey".
"What the hell has happend to you?"He shouted. I flinch,and stepped backwards. A look of-guilt? passed in his eyes.

"What happened Valerie? "He asked softly. I was honestly surprised and impressed by the way he talked to me-he reminded me of my father. I have never seen this side of him before.

I tried to tell him ,to form sentences,words. But all I did is stare at him. His hand reached for me ,but I stepped away.

Why am I doing this?

"Hey, don't be scared little one" He said calmly. I felt fragile, weak, as if one touch would break me apart, to pecies.

"T-There is someone after me,a-a monster"I stuttered. He furrowed his eyebrows.I knew he wasnt believing me.

"What do you mean?"he asked,watching the scratches and marks on my neck.

"I mean s-someone gas been attacking me in my room"I said.

I started to cry and my uncle scooped me in his arms."Don't cry sweetheart,You are my new daughter,I won't let anything happen to you"He said softly.

"We can get through this together, you don't need to harm yourself "he said.

What?
He thought I did this to myself?
He didn't understand...

"I didn't-"

"Shh..you need rest"

I finally understood, my uncle thinks I'm suicidal
