Well, excuse me you two? Can you just help me go down from this tree!?

No, it's not time to trust anyone at this moment.

I should hold—

Eh! No! My hand's slipping off.

"Eek—"

No!

Is this how I am going to die? This is so pathetic!

Oh what's this? Did I died swiftly? Not painfully?

I slowly opened my eyes to see a person, carrying me.

I was caught?

I looked up and saw a pair of golden eyes staring down at me. It was a kind of gaze you can't describe, like there's something to it.

He shifted his gaze upwards, to the window.

"Ahh, that brat."

But you're also a kid tho? But much grown up than me, I guess?

Ah, what the hell am I thinking about?

What now? Is this guy gonna kill me too?

"I don't waste my time in just killing someone like you. So cut the thought."

Are you perhaps a mind reader?

"It's just obvious on your face. Lets leave first, before they'll find us."

And he started moving, and I don't know if he's flying or running because I kept my eyes closed for some reason. Or I was just a bit tired..

"My.. box.."

I said before losing my consciousness.

Ah! It's cold. Where am I?

Right it's winter! My birthday, but where is this?

Everywhere is white and cold. Everything is covered in snow.

Ah! My head.. it ached.

Huh? Who's that child?

"Daddy, I'm a good girl. Can't you take me?"

"Who even is your daddy? Stop it you whimp!" And he kicked the little hopeless child.

The child is very small, she had blond curly hair and pair of green eyes.

She seems similar to Laura, but not in some ways.

And later, after being beaten by the bastard. She curled her body and hugged herself, shivering from pain and cold.

When blood came out, her blond hair became white all of a sudden. Her breathing became rigid, I was near beside but can't touch her.

I had the urge to hug her so bad, but I don't even know who is she and still want to do it then tell her that I am here.

She's suffering yet she's still calling 'daddy', 'mommy' and 'little sister' until her last breath.

Alone in the unknown, suffering from emotional and physical pain. The feeling of one you trusted and loved to betray you, are the worst.

Later on, I felt my cheeks got wet. I teared up. And after I wiped my tears, another girl was in front of me.

She had straight blond hair and a pair of green eyes.

This time, she's the happiest girl. Having a little sister to dote on, and a soon to be brother.

They seemed to be in a wealthy family.

But, when her mother got miscarriage. She was unexpectedly got blamed on, she didn't know the reason why she was blamed for that.

"N-no! I didn't brought that tea! I am saying the truth! That maid.. yes, that maid! That maid with the mole on her face! She told me it was for mom and the—"

Slapped!

The child's lips was torn, her face had reddened or even turned into a darker color. And her neck felt snapping at any moment.

"Your mother begged me to keep you, even though you're not mine and now you're repaying us with this!? Locked her up, and don't give her food unless I say so!"

Her eyes widened with shock, she never thought it would turn out this bad.

I wanted to slap the bastard really hard, but I can't even see their faces except for that child.

"N-no! L— help m-" she can't continue her words when her little sister turned her face to the side and avoided her gaze.

She felt disappointed, betrayed and messed up.

Just why? Why?

She was locked up on the very isolated dungeon underground, that it really felt so familiar for a moment.

She was chained, with no food, no water, just nothing. She was just staring out of nowhere.

And her sister came.

"L—! Y-you came!" She was excited but her face changed when she saw her.

I can't see the sister's face for some reason. It was like, it was blurred for some reason.

"I knew about it before. That.. you aren't father's but.." and she chuckled.

"Seeing your idiotic expressions when getting excited to approach me, or 'dote' on me was priceless. Pfft, you're so pathetic. You should be grateful for being spared because mom doesn't want you dead and of course because the im—" and her next words became unrecognizable as if to hide it for me.

What is it? What did she said that made the child go in a shock that turned her hair white and later on die?

While the sister kept on laughing?

Ah! Again with this pain on the head!

Oh, what is this again?

A few more with the features of different child came in different scenes but died miserably, born with blond hair and green eyes but died with their hair turning white.

Did they turn old that early? Or were they like me? They're soul was much older with a body of a child? Hmm, no?

But this time it was different, a child with blond hair and crystal blue eyes.

She was pampered but the thing is, she was hidden from the people.

She wasn't pampered by her parents, but of a certain person.

That person stayed beside her, always, not leaving her side. She felt blessed not until uninvited guests came.

That person beside the child became miserable, but the child doesn't know anything. She's only but a child.

She can't do anything, and doesn't understand anything. So when that person tells her everytime that she's fine but her back's bleeding.

The child can only nod and smile and forget it.

But after sometime when that person wasn't on her side, the other people on that house tormented the child.

Poisoning, beating, freeze her outside, or even put some intense heat on her. Let her do some hard labor.

She followed and followed without knowing what she's doing.

After sometime, when all became white and cold, when she was walking outside. Slowly walking, remembering what happened on her and to that person. Her hair slowly turned white. Her eyes are full of tears.

And she was welcomed with an open gate with bunch of roses covered in white snow.

Her tears were blended with blood flowing from her blue eyes.

Her eyes shined and cried loud.

Before she could take a step inside that open gate, her half body got in and the other half didn't when she laid down. (She wasn't chopped off though)

And muttered something but only one word that came to my mind and can I only remember.

"..help."

I ran into her, and was about to get her up but I saw her eyes like she was really looking into me but she was looking behind me.

And when I was about to turn my head, someone muttered some words behind my back but I didn't hear it clearly or I just can't hear it.

And the child, that was laying down in front of me, lifeless, smiled gently.

Her mouth opened but no words came out, but it was simply readable and it was—

'Thank you for coming even late.'

The last scene, the last child I saw was similar to the Charlotte I know.

Right. The Charlotte of that novel.
