Rena's POV

*BANG* "You stupid *****! You don't know anything!" "Yeah! And you never cared about us! How much money did you spent this time?!"

Again....it happened again...They always argue with each other...Is this how parents are? There supposed to be arguing with each other daily? I'm sitting on the same chair, listening to the same words...same screaming and shouting... Everything is the same day by day, I'm used to it.

"That's it! I've had enough of your stupid words!" screamed dad. Mom was confused as dad never said that in any of the arguments before. For once I was relief, thinking that maybe he would stop the argument once and for all. I was right, but it didn't ended the way I expected...Dad ran to the kitchen and came back with a knife in his hand, he pointed at mom and said" I'm ending this once and for all! I'll get to live a better life without you two!" Mom started to shiver, seemingly terrified about the current situation "Calm Down! You've lost your mind! Are you really planning to kill us?!" I didn't do anything, just sat at the chair, wondering how this would end...Not long after, Dad ran to mom and started stabbing her. Mom was screaming, louder than ever. Her breath was heavy, as if she couldn't speak anymore. Dad was brutal, he kept stabbing her until she stopped... Stoped struggling, stopped screaming, stopped working. I knew I was next, but I didn't leave. I know that there's nothing a five year old like me can do. Even if I tried running, I would've been dead either way...

Then, Dad turned around...He looked at me with the same creepy eyes, as if he is insane. He came to me slowly saying with a scary tone" Don't worry... I know I let your mom suffer....but ... not you. So I'll give you a quick death". As he raised his hand, and almost stabbed me in the head, a bottle came from behind and hit his head which made him unsteady. So instead of stabbing my head, he ended up cutting my hand. It hurts...my hand was bleeding, but I can't do anything about it...it's how it works...how the world works...

Turns out the bottle was thrown by my mom. She somehow is still alive, she said in a soft yet shaky tone "don't....don't..do it.... she is.....innocent" And that was my mom last words. Afterwards, she fainted and never woke up again...Dad was pissed and shouted " Your already dead yet you still want to protect this piece of crap?! Huh, well too bad you can't!" He turned back to me and said "I was interrupted once, but not twice" He raised his hand...again, attempting the second time, trying to kill me off. I thought to myself, well this life ends here...I closed my eyes, and await my death..

*BANG*

I opened my eyes and heard police sirens. Apparently , my neighbours heard my mom scream and felt something was wrong, she was worried so she dialed the police. Two policeman came in, one arrested my dad and another one came in to check the house. Soon they took me out and said "It must've been hard on you. You've been brave" I don't understand....brave? Hard on me? Isn't this how it works? isn't this how everyone treats each other? Guess there's more that I don't know...I couldn't think too much anymore...I felt nauseous all of a sudden and before I knew it I fainted, probably because of lack of blood.

And.....That's the end for chapter one! Hope you enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to any critisims or changes in the comments! Are you curious about what's going to happen next? Well wait and see! I'll be writing soon enough! so don't worry too much about it!

See you next time!( ◜‿◝ )♡

Sorry that I didn't do this earlier, I thought it would be better to start with a history first!😅

PS. I'm using an app called PitzMaker to make the characters, I am not capable to draw a seeable human or a character. And also, I will be showing Rena which is the protagonist for now Whenever a new character comes out, I will put the picture there! Well I hope you understand !

She has Dark purple hair with yellow eyes, I wanted it to be light yellow but it wasn't in the choice preference😅 But this would do. For the mom and dad, They won't appear in the future anymore, so I won't put photos of them. If they do happen to appear in the future stories, I will definitely upload the photos, so wait till then!

As this story is going on the present time is when she is 16. And that this novel starts when she is still 5 years old, that's where you will know more about her! 😉

Remember to comment any critisims or parts you wish to add in such as additional character or what you want it to happen next. This will help me a lot and I greatly appreciate them! ❤️

Apparently I need to write more than 500 words to pass this, I just know that....oof

So I guess I'll talk about it a little more, I don't want to release any spoilers, But I might....a little.... so you guys can read on if you want...

Well I plan to write on Rena's past for a few chapters until she reach the age of 16. On a specific moment, she is recalling all her memories. And from then on I will start to write about the present, but their probably gonna be a few time skips, so don't hate me too much for that ಥ‿ಥ

And now, some thoughts about this novel from me. I really like writing stories, I always writes like one part of a story and never continue it or like actually put any effort into making it a story. I saw this platform and thought about giving it a try and so here I am. There are definitely a lot of novels in this app, and I'm pretty sure that mind won't be as great as others works, but I will work hard and manage to let readers like it. My current goal now is to get at least one reader. Since "Cold Heart" is not a romance novel, I plan to have a romance version of it, in the future. When I manage to release at least 10 or 15 chapters of "Cold Heart" I will consider in making another novel at "Chat" mode and make it romance. I'm pretty sure most readers love romance novel, and I don't mind including some romance scene in this novel either. I just need some suggestions and I will try my best to make it happened!

Well it all happen so fast, it's over 500 words already~ I guess I'll see you in the next chapter. Bye(≧▽≦)~

Rena's POV

I woke up in a mysterious place, it's very bright. I'm on a bed. I looked over to my injured hand, it's bandaged up and quite thick. I moved my hand, and it hurt a little, soon the bandaged starts to turn red. I was confused, until I heard a female's voice saying" Your awake! Don't move too much, your still not in a good condition..." I looked at her and asked "Where am I ? Who are you?" She looked at me with a surprised expression, then into some kind of sympathy look. She told me "You are currently in White Hospital. I feel really bad for you, your still so young yet you have to go through this. You must be really scared." I looked at her and said "No, I'm fine. This is normal." The nurse was shock, she probably didn't expect this response from me, but that's how it is for me....

"Well, you don't have to worry much! Your medical fees will be count as a little help from Dr. Melissa. After all, it's our job to help others, I just hope your feeling right" said the nurse. "Dr. Melissa?" I asked. The nurse replies "Yeah! She was the one that bandaged your hand!" Then the nurse proceeds to look over my arm and her face suddenly looked worried. "Oh my God! Your wound had reopened! Stay here, I'll go get Dr.Melissa." Just like that, the nurse ran off.

Not long after the nurse came back, with a woman. She had light pink hair and green eyes. She looked smart and confident. Makes her really easy to talk to.

She looked at me and said "You just woke up not long and already give me trouble. What are you trying to accomplish? I'm very busy you know?" I don't know how to reply, so I kept silent. She walked close to me, and looked at my arm. Her face went from slight annoyance to almost exploded...She looked over to the nurse and said "So, you called me over just to let me see this?" The nurse said "I'm still a newbie, Melissa. Besides, I don't even know how her wound look like, I only know her backstory from other nurses!" Dr.Melissa wasn't that happy. I can tell that those nurses that talked about me are going to be in trouble. Then Dr. Melissa said "You guys are worthless, it's just re-bandaging a wound and you had to call me over." The nurse replied "You weren't doing anything though, you were just sitting in your office and scrolling through your phone."

Dr.Melissa looks at my wound and starts helping me to re-bandage it. She was gentle, through out the whole process, I could barely feel anything at all. After it's done she looked at me and said "You really are amazing. Through the whole process of bandaging your wound, you didn't move at all, not to mention made a sound." I don't understand what she meant. Was I supposed to do something? And so I asked her "Was I suppose to do something?" She looked at me surprised and said "It's best that you don't, but most kids around your age or even older than you would scream and cry, moving around beacause of the pain. As if they are going to die any moment." I thought to myself, are kids really like that? I couldn't remember the last time I cried or scream.

Dr.Melissa soon left, and before she left she said "Take care of yourself. Your wound is quite deep, so it'll took around two weeks to heal. And also, since your parents are no longer an option for going back, do you have any other relatives you can count on? I'll leave you alone. Take some time and think about it, after all I can't keep you here forever." I thought about it, and I don't remember anyone else. The last time visitors came to the house was probably when I was 3, there were a lot. I don't know any of them. And so, I didn't bother to think too much about it. Since I'm no longer with my parents, that means I can be free right? I can finally see the world, and see how humans usually are. I spent two days in the hospital walking around. I discovered a place that seems a lot of children were there. They would always go there to play or draw or do other things. I don't understand why they're doing these things nor how is it supposed to benefit them. I'm always known to be a more sensible and smart kid. My mom always said that to me. However, I don't go to kindergarten or have anyone teach me anything. My mom regularly goes to the library and brings back a lot of books. Mostly are books that are sentimental and has lots of meaning to it. If there's one thing I understand that's not about me, it's definitely my liking for quotes. I like to read them. I find them every meaningful. Thinking about this, makes me think about the books that my mom kept at home. if I had the chance, I want to bring them with me, I want to read them.

And....that's all for this chapter! Next chapter someone is going to come and pick her up from the hospital. Can you guess who?
