Chapter 2: A Taste Of Freedom

''"Oh, you pointless slave!" a young voice filled Sakura as she dreamt a flash-back. The girl smiled as she started to whip a young Sakura over and over again. She was only at the age of four here and as each hit striking Sakura's back, a pain jerking scream would rip through her throat.

"Stop Ari! Stop! Your hurting me!" Sakura naively screamed, tears falling down her cheeks. The girl only smiled and whipped again and again and again and again until Sakura fell onto the floor.

"Get up!" Arianna said, her voice was just as powerful as today. She moved her hair out of her face before bending down towards Sakura. "I will send you to Papa and Mama if you don't get up!"

With this threat, Sakura wobbled up. She quickly got whipped again with only sheer laughter coming out of Arianna' as a reply. The whipping started to quiet down but the laughter span around and around in Sakura mind.

"SLAVE!" Arianna shouted. "OH SLAVE! WHERE IS MY TEA!" Sakura bowed down saying sorry over and over again. Sakura seemed a bit older, yet just as small and thin in this flashback as she was today. Arianna stood towering over her. The scence had changed but she wasn't sure if it was for the better or the worse.

"Oh forget it! Your gonna become my training dummy!" without any consent, Arianna brought out a sword out of thin air. "Stay still~" Arianna said, her laughter coming back but not from that Arianna's mouth.

Mini Arianna heads floated around, pointing and laughing at Sakura. Some spat or hissed or slapped Sakura. Others pushed or just stood there.

Laughing. Crying. Smiling. Groaning and moaning. It was too much.

"Make it stop!" Sakura screamed putting her hands on her head.

Nobody listened.

"I demand you to stop!" she tried again but her voice buckled over.

She only received a snigger before a proper Arianna stood over Sakura. The mini ones disappered suddenly. Silence filled the room. Nothing...

"You are nothing. Worthless! You are my pet!"

"I... I am worthless, I am your pet..." Sakura agreed, tears rolling down her cheeks. There was no way to escape reality. She was that and nothing more.''
