CONQUER • Ava Celestine

Third-person point of view:

Aurora Celestia clung to her teddy bear on the bed, trembling with fear and anxiety as she heard her father's footsteps approaching upstairs. She couldn't understand why he held such animosity towards her. The vibrations of his steps only intensified Aurora's unease.. Every day, he returned home with anger or sadness, ensuring she felt his pain too.

Aurora, being confined within the basement walls all her life, was utterly unaware of what lay beyond it.

Her daily routine involved waking up and enduring beatings followed by bouts of weeping while fervently praying for deliverance from her plight..

The memory of her mother lingered, though Aurora remained uncertain of her fate.

"Oh, someone's awake," she heard his voice sneer as he entered the room.

Fear coursed through her body as he advanced toward her.

"Missed me?" he taunted with a smirk.

Aurora flinched, inhaling the scent of drugs pulsing through his aggressive demeanor. Her eyes trained downward, she uttered a hushed greeting.

He forbade her from addressing him as "father" or "dad," and he made sure to enforce it with fervor. As he approached, looming over her small form like an ominous cloud, dread gripped Aurora's racing heart..

Each encounter with him was a harrowing ordeal, leaving her trembling in fear.

She dared not meet his gaze, knowing the consequences could be dire.

"Why so quiet?" he demanded, his voice laced with malice.

Aurora sat in silence, unable to breathe under the weight of her father's expectations. All she longed for was a chance at freedom amidst this suffocating environment.

However, she remained trapped as though being kept prisoner by her cruel father and hoped desperately for an existence beyond his control. Despite succumbing to fear that plagued herself within, Aurora tried summoning defiance from deep inside of her fragile spirit;

"I don't want to talk," She barely whispered but knew it would ignite anger within him.

Her rejection sparked rage behind his eyes: he hated hearing those words because they insinuated disobedience towards him- which always led down a violent path where thoughts turned into actions quickly without hesitation nor reason besides fury fueled hate overflowing every minute spent together due

The room became thick with tension - lying bare around them both until all Auroras mind could do wandered off far away seeking some solace among distant memories left provided only comfort instead nonsensical rules enforced upon oneself too young never having asked anything back really except trying turning punishment less severe sometimes handing out compliments should suffice when necessary

yet little did one know about what goes on behind closed doors hidden lies brought forth unleashing monstrous carnivorous desires closing tight jaws devouring souls whole making ones experience livid nightmares switching between terror uncertainty sorrow disbelief melancholy regret soul draining depression eventually leading their lives toward inevitable doom drawing closer each passing day heavily weighted seemingly so impossible freeing love loss guilt met tragic destiny predicted

oh-so-long ago now finally fulfilling ancient prophecies unknown soon dying alone desolate lonely deserted lost sanity replaced nothingness hollow void dark oblivion merging hellish furnace eternal damnation forevermore irreversible situation sins let slip surely unforgiving countless wrongs doing caused pain couldn’t see how real empathy
