The only daughter of Count Frederick Moriston and granddaughter of the Duke of England Charles Horiston, the only master of one of the largest and richest families of England ever! Could it not be envied for that? But hey! We are not talking about the super-rich, nor the luxurious life! It is a story of pain. A story of suffering, a story of a sin that happened that did not happen..Can a four-year-old girl sin ?! Could that innocent heart transmit a sin for which it is punished for a lifetime?

Amy Hurston ... the outcast child who will live with her pain and hope, she will live with her despair and hope, dreams and aspirations..as well as death and life! What is her fault? What are her dreams? What life will you live in amidst those pains and pitfalls that struggle with the life of this little girl who has always dreamed of a bright future .. Will she have this dream in defiance of her bitter reality?

She was walking hesitantly towards that room, took a step to take a step back after that, and her heart was beating strongly ... but in the end, she recovered her courage, drawing a deep breath and proceeded to there where her parents were sitting as usual. She stood on her fingertips until she finally managed to hold the door handle with her small hands, slowly opening that white-painted wooden door...

She drew into the room, dragging her steps, anxiously over the features of her little face ... She grabbed the edge of her blue dress and closed her eyes firmly, as if trying to send a little courage to her troubled self. After seconds of standing, she opened her eyes again, looking at them nervously. They were seated on those luxurious Victorian sofas, with their white linen and gold trim making them more elegant and luxurious. She knew that this was the first time that her father had stayed at home for a long time. She had heard from the servants that he had succeeded brilliantly in one of his projects, so he decided to rest in his home for a while, but she did not know how long it would last.

She thought it would be her only chance to finally talk to him. Today is her eighth birthday, so I thought to ask him for a gift. She did not know anything else he was talking about, but despite this she wanted to draw his attention to her in any way ... She convinced herself that he had been busy all the past years so he did not find time to talk to her. She always wanted to She believes that he does not hate her, so she used to find excuses for him every time he ignored her, as is the case with her mother, who goes to parties and to the markets most of the time.

She stood before him and said hesitantly mixed with shyness: Dad ... May I have a request? He looked at her for a while. Then he looked around to see that fat maid standing quietly behind them, raising her face that cold look that confused him greatly .. He looked at that little girl with distress, then took a deep breath to suddenly blush his face and address her sharply: What are you doing here ?! The little girl ignored his tone as if she was writing what she had heard. To say, looking at the ground with her hands clasped towards her in a noticeable tension: Hmmm ... today is my birthday so ... Then she looked into his eyes, trying to solicit his parental sympathy through them: Can you buy me a gift?

His eyes widened and he looked at her in astonishment for a while, trying to comprehend what she had said. He looked at that maid again to press his teeth and say impatiently: Leave in front of me immediately, I don't want to see your face! His words were as harsh as every time she tried to get close to him, but today she did not want to give up ... She could not understand why he rejected her to this extent, but despite this she wanted to believe that he did not hate her that he would not push her away if she tried honestly ! So she dared and put her little palm on his hand which he leaned against the wooden back of the sofa, and she said please: Please dad, just one doll! I will not ask for others

He could not control himself any more, he never imagined that it would take him one day! He wanted to say something, but he immediately backed down the moment he felt those eyes that were looking at him sharply, so he pressed his teeth angrily, then pushed her hand away from him forcefully and pushed them away from him to fall on the ground, then he said nervously and upset: Get out of this room and never come back, if I saw you in front of me again, no one knew what I would do with you! Then his wife rose from her place and blamed him saying: Frederick! David is here! What if he heard your words?!

She also looked at that maid with oppression, then grabbed her hand and said nervously as she pressed her hard: What is this? That damned woman told Ellie to keep you in your room and never leave her! What if David sees you? That would be so bad !! Then she pointed to the door to the room and said threatening: Get out immediately and never leave your room, no matter what happens. Is this understandable ?! She looked at her disappointedly, it was very difficult for her to accept this fact ... to finally realize that her parents, who had always looked at them eagerly, were in fact hating her so much for a reason she never knew.

She got up from her place with tears gathering in her eyeballs, she closed her eyes forcefully so as not to let those hot tears slip from her eyes in front of them, she ran out of the room without closing the door behind her to unleash those tears that were falling profusely from her sockets ... She had nothing to do but cry painfully . She kept running down that long lane without stopping, without even knowing where she was going! Everything was in front of her! . It looks foggy ... But she bumped into one of them, suddenly she fell to the ground .. She raised her weeping eyes towards him, to that handsome blond youth standing in front of him, he looked at her, wondering with his blue eyes, the blue of the sky.

He bowed to her to ask her anxiously: Are you okay? Did not respond to him and did not even know what to say to him is fine? of course no ! This is what this little girl thought of at the time to get up and run towards her room on the top floor, leaving that young man in the middle of his confusion. He moved his shoulders with indifference and said in thought: She must have been the daughter of a servant. Then he walked toward that room at the end of that long life and asked himself: But why was she crying like this? She looked so hurt!

That young man entered the room and closed the door that was wide open behind him, then walked towards them ... They looked very sullen, and the lady of the house had a sad look on her face, whose explanation was unknown. He noticed the maid standing behind his father’s chair with a sharp look on her face, which he could not explain, but he ignored her presence to anxiously ask his parents: What happened? She looked at him, her facial features changed, and she pretended that nothing had happened: Oh, nothing, my dear, you don't have to worry at all!

He looked at her with suspicion, but he quickly ignored the matter, sat on the sofa quietly, and then said indifferently: Do you allow the servants to bring their children with them? The lady was astonished at his question, so she sat next to him and asked him intently: What do you mean? He answered her with the same indifferent tone: I saw a little girl running in the aisle a while ago ... As soon as he said this, she said emotionally to him: Do not care about her! She is the daughter of a servant! Then she added, stuttering: lll e, one of the maids who work for us used to keep her daughter in her mother's house, but her mother is sick so she asked me to let her let her child live with her! Then she paused a little to continue their words pretending to: I will scold her, how do you allow the easy ones to run, inside the corridors of the palace!

That young man put his hand on her shoulder and said with a smile: There is no problem .. There is no need for this, that child did not do anything that happened, so you do not need to abuse her for this! She looked at him for a while, then crossed her hands in front of her chest and said reluctantly, "Well ... since my dear David said this, I will forgive her?" David laughed, then put his arm around her neck and said, Yeah ... This is my sweet mom!

She did not respond to his words, but she took a quick look at her husband sitting across from her without saying anything. He had arched his back down and placed his elbows on his knees, to support his chin on the backs of his hands, which were intertwined in front of his face in tension that seemed to be upset by a wall, and he could not hide the look of pain and oppression that emerged On his face at that moment as he gritted his teeth in exasperation. She sighed with distress, then said to herself sadly: I hope that it passes in peace without David noticing anything!

That little girl lay on her bed and crammed her little face into her white pillow, to enter into a fit of crying without stopping that maid entered the room to walk towards her and sits next to her on the bed, she wiped her hair with tenderness and said, looking at her sadly: What is the matter, my little girl? Why are you crying like this? She answered her amid her expressions to make her voice intermittent and sad: Tell me Ellie ... what have you done to hate me like this? I just wanted her to notice ... to talk to her once! Is there anything wrong with asking for a gift from my father? Does that require that he get angry at me like that?

Ellie said trying to relieve her: It's okay, Amy, sweetheart, your father did not mean that ... Then she added with confusion: Hmmm, as you know, it seems that your father has lost in some project, so his mood is a bit bad, he never hates you .. It just ... interrupted her Amy, who sat on the bed and looked at her painfully: It's not right Ellie! I heard the servants talk about his amazing success in this project, I am no longer a child who does not understand anything, you always justify his actions by saying that he has problems at work ... I am really tired of it! I want to understand why they hate me like that? What about mom? Are you facing problems at work too ?! Then she cried more and explained painfully: Why ?! Why is this happening to me? Answer me ... Ellie !!

Ellie embraced her and said painfully: I don't know .... I don't know! Then she cried and said: I do not know what to tell you, my dear, but be patient, please do not lose hope! Amy asked her in tears: But for how long? When will they stop treating me like this ?! Ellie took her away from her bosom a little, then put her hands on her cheeks and said, wiping her tears with her thumbs: My little Amy, don't cry, please. Let's enjoy this day ... Come on!

Amy: I love to celebrate with you a lot, but ... I also want to celebrate with my parents, don't I have the right to do that? Eli was silent and did not know what to answer her innocent question, while Amy fell into tears. Elle felt so helpless, she wanted to relieve some of the pain of that little girl who had struggled so much to cuddle her, and tell her everything would be fine. But she was well aware that whatever she said she would not change anything as long as her parents continued to treat her that way.

But little Amy suddenly screamed: That's enough! Tired of all this, what's the point of living like this, Eli? I ... I ... she said in a sad tone: I could no longer bear .. Eli then suddenly fell into a strange calm that confused Eli a lot to get out of her place and take a few steps towards her small desk. She pulled something that had been attached to the bottom of her desk with tape, then turned to Eli, having hidden that thing. Behind her back .. a calm, strange-uttering smile appeared on her face. She was made in a desperate voice that she barely brought out: Forgive me.

She said this holding on to that small knife and pointing it towards her neck after she closed her eyes firmly .. Ellie's eyes widened as soon as she saw that sharp knife in her hand and she opened her mouth in amazement, but despite this she rose from her place and ran towards her quickly to slap her hand hard and then catch her troubled breath with difficulty ... the knife fell to the floor to make a loud clatter as soon as it hit the wooden floor of that room. Amy raised her eyes to Eli, to look at her with admonition, with her green eyes drenched in tears, and she cried: Why? Why did you block me ??

Crying with oppression, answered her: I can't allow you! I raised you from a young age and I can never abandon you to me you are like my daughter, you .... you ... cried more and said tiredly: You are part of me my dear, I cannot allow myself to see you die in front of my eyes !! Amy grabbed her clothes and said painfully: I know! I know very well how much you love me, Ellie! Then she raised her gaze to her and said desperately as she looked directly into her eye: I love you too, but ... Then she slowly slid backwards as she moved her head denied it to say with a lump: This is not enough!

She walked towards the door of the room, then turned to Tears-drenched Eli and said softly against what is in her heart: Forgive me, Ellie ... I can never back down! Then she smiled oppressively and said: At least, maybe if from now they will pay attention to me even a little! She said this and ran away to the outside of the house, Ellie kept looking at where Amy was standing by the door, with a blank look on her face for a moment, but she did not understand what that little girl was saying, which meant everything to her. But seconds or perhaps minutes later, she quickly ran for long steps chasing after her little girl, whose loss was her greatest fear.

She kept screaming desperately: Amy! Amy! please stop !

David was sitting on one of the white iron chairs surrounding that circular table that was shaded by the giant almond tree in the front yard of the palace.

He was quietly reading his book, while the ailing breeze gently caressed the locks of his golden hair. But that silence was interrupted by the sound of the main door of the house opening its wide open strongly, so that little girl set off running in that Stone Age that extends to the outer gate of the palace and she left the outer gate without looking at anything around her. He kept looking at her with amazement, and he was greatly astonished by the rush of that child to the outside, heading towards the main street, and although he was concerned about her, he did not bother to pursue her.

But after a few minutes that maid came out running and shouted at the top of her voice: Amy, Amy, stop! She stumbled down the stone stairs that led to the main door of the palace, and the berries made her foot and fell to the ground, and despite her pain, she rose from her place again to limp as she walked toward the outer gate, not caring about anything. That young man could not ignore the matter any more, he walked towards her and stopped her by saying: What is the matter? what is happening ? Elie answered with breathless breath: Amy ... Amy ... but she fell silent as soon as she saw his face, he looked at her anxiously, to ask him cautiously: Excuse me sir, who are you?

David impatiently replied: That is not important now! Amy, the girl you were screaming about..Is it that little girl who just came out? Elle rose up as soon as she heard him and said, "Please, yes ... Please tell me where did that child go?" I have to stop her quickly, then she added, shivering in panic: Amy will commit suicide..Amy..Amy will die !! He was surprised to hear this a lot, and he said disapprovingly: You commit suicide ?! Have you gone crazy Elle looked at him suspiciously, then asked him hesitantly, evident from her tone of voice: Is it possible that you are the Young Master David ?! David answered, trying to get on his nerves: Yes, David; He said this and then asked her insistently: Are you that little girl's mother? How can a young woman of her age think of something crazy like suicide ?! Ellie looked at him in shock ... But at that moment she remembered her lady's stern recommendations that she should not allow the Emmy to meet the young master, and then she realized that he did not know anything about her. Looking closely at him, she could sense his anxiety for this little girl, who he definitely thought was the daughter of a servant.

She thought then .. Maybe this is her chance, maybe something will change by telling him, no matter how small the possibility of that is! She clenched her hand firmly, trying to gather her courage and uttered what she was well aware would most likely cause her to be expelled from this house: That little girl ... she is your little sister Amy, he seemed completely shocked to hear this, he said, lying her words: What are you saying? How could that be so reasonable that Ellie held his wrist firmly and then addressed him sharply as she looked into his eyes assertively: It is not the time to stand so stunned! Your only sister may die while we are talking now..We must hasten to stop her !!

Her confident looks confused him so much that he could never comprehend her words, but despite this he realized well that it is only time to think at that time, even if it was just a heavy joke, he could not stay standing like this at all! She stood on the sidewalk, looking at the crashing cars in front of her, eyes desperate and devoid of life. She felt that everything in front of her seemed blurry.

She took a step down and stood on the edge of the road to see that car rushing towards her quickly .. The driver blew loud car horns so Amy climbed up the sidewalk quickly again, and her heart was beating strongly. She could hear the shouts of that driver who kept cursing her angrily as he drove away from her.

She was trembling in panic ... She hesitated for a while, but as soon as she remembered her parents, she took a deep breath to make up for what she had decided again, she did not want to hesitate again, she had lost hope, Tihama, and filled her heart with blackness to blind her from thinking of anything else. The only thought that kept ringing in her was just death. To die so that her parents feel her loss, or at least that is what she wanted to believe at the time! She waited for some time until a large truck was speeding towards her, and all her body parts were cheering at that moment (now)!

She closed her eyes forcefully to stand in front of that truck quickly without looking at anything else - She wanted to end all this pain..She wanted to relieve her little heart from all this despair? But at that moment, she sensed two hands pushing her away, and she fell to the ground in the middle of the road and the large body that felt its weight at that moment fell on her. Seconds passed, as if hours were the loud cornering sound of the truck. Then the sound of it hitting the lamppost on the side of the road ... to finally hear the truck driver's voice as he was walking staggering towards it and asking in panic: Are you okay ?!

She heard many sounds around her until she made her feel dizzy and that body finally moved over her. She slowly opened her eyes to look at those blue eyes, which she was looking at in anger, and she could not lift him. His head was surrounded by his hands, which he supported on the ground, trapping her stretched body on the floor of the road, and she could notice those scratches and bruises in his arms, but she could not say anything, his voice silenced her while he was scolding her nervously, saying: Are you crazy? You nearly died!

She raised her body with her hands and sat facing it on the ground, looking at him suspiciously. His face was very familiar to her, but she still couldn't figure out who he was. She did not care about the people who had gathered around them, to shout angrily at him: Why? Why did you stop me, stranger ?! David replied impatiently, "What nonsense are you saying ?!" I would have killed yourself if I had not come to save you! Amy shouted in dismay: I didn't ask you for this! Then she added, with tears in her eyes: I wanted to die! Why did you block me? Why ?!!

David took a deep breath before feigning confidence in his words: I am your elder brother, and I will not allow you to do such a foolish act! Amy exclaimed in amazement: You're David ?! He was very confused when she said this, and he answered her suspiciously: Yes, I am .. As soon as I heard this, I addressed him with hate, saying: You have nothing to do with what I am doing, how do you come and order me now? David was astonished a lot by the extreme hatred that he felt in her words, but what surprised him more was that she did not deny what he said! Could this be true? Is it possible that this child is really his sister ??

When his silence was prolonged, Amy bit her lower lip in exasperation and ran back home with tears in her eyes. As for him, he was completely shocked ... he rose from his place and walked towards the sidewalk, indifferent to the chatter of the people around him and their many questions about whether he was okay. In front of him he saw Eli, who was standing there, looking at him with eyes drenched in tears. He asked her lost: What is the meaning of this? That child did not deny that I was her brother. Could that really be true ?! Elie answered him tiredly: I did not lie to you, sir, that child is really your sister !! Then he shouted at her, saying: So why? Why didn't my mom tell me about her ?!

Ellie looked around and then said, after trying hard to get hold of herself, "Sir ... let's go home first and I'll tell you everything!" David pressed his teeth hard, trying to hold himself in control, but he answered her request and walked silently with her towards the palace.

As soon as they entered the gate and walked a little in that stone path, David suddenly stopped and asked her without waiting any longer: Tell me now ... What is the meaning of all this ?! They both did not notice Amy, who was hiding behind one of the trees that were lining the stone path, when she heard their voice, she hardly suppressed her gasps and calmed down to listen to their conversation, a conversation that had always been a mystery to her. Elle began her conversation, saying: You know that your grandfather did not agree with your parents' marriage, right?

David answered suspiciously: Yes

Elie continued her speech by saying: Your mother was from a normal family, so your grandfather refused to marry her, but your father insisted on marrying her and he did not care about the orders of the age with regard to your grandfather because your father was his closest child to him so he could not stand in the face of his happiness, but despite this he made a condition Strange conditions for approval of that marriage. David asked her suspiciously: A strange condition? Eli: Yes, it was his condition that your father hand over his wife's second pregnancy to him so that Duke Hurston would raise it himself.

You know that the Duke of Hurston has many children, so he is very afraid that his sons will end up fighting among themselves over whoever inherits the Duke after his death, and for this he wanted to appoint an heir before he dies, and an heir to raise him himself in the way he wants. Indeed, your mother became pregnant with you a year after their marriage, and then after ten years the woman became pregnant again. That pregnancy was a boy and girl twins. Your grandfather was very happy with her pregnancy, as he prepared himself to receive his grandson, who decided to make him his heir. Then she paused a bit to add with regret: But unfortunately the male twin was born with a very weak body while the girl was completely normal.

Despite this, the child lived in the Ducal Palace and the Duke had prepared for him the best medical care in the hope that he would survive, while the child stayed here with your parents. Because of his poor health, the Duke did not announce the birth of that child so that his enemies would not take advantage of the weak physical condition of the child, who was decided to be the heir of the Hurston family. The truth about the birth of twins. Your parents would visit the baby occasionally with Amy, who kept clinging to him little by little over time.

She was silent for a while, then lowered her head sadly and said: But ... when the twins reached the age of four, that tragedy occurred! Amy came to visit him as usual and they were playing together like every time they met, but… Amy was very young and she did not realize that her brother’s body was too weak so she made him accompany her outside the palace until they played with snow together… They had gone far in the woods The surrounding palace and the snowstorm intensified at the time, so they took a long time to find them ... and when they finally found them, they were very sick and covered in snow ... Amy had asthma after that incident and their twins ...

Then she pressed her teeth and said painfully: His weak body could not stand the disease and he died after a few days! Duke Hurston was very attached to that child and could not bear the reality of his death. He went crazy and Amy was responsible for what happened even though she was a little girl who knew nothing! And he ended up ordering everyone in the Hurston family, including your parents, to ostracize her and be deprived of everything as she forbade him from his dear grandson! He wanted to torture her as a vengeance for what she did! Then she looked at him and said oppressively: It is true that the death of that little boy is very painful, but ... Whatever happened, do you think it is logical to treat Amy like this for a reason like this ?!

David looked completely shocked ... But he suddenly laughed and said with a strange calm as he crossed his fingers through his locks of hair: So ... you say that this child is my sister and that my mother kept her thing from me all the time ?! Eli was somewhat afraid of the way he spoke, but she answered hesitantly: Yes, he looked at her sharply and said: This silly story you just told me, is it really true ?! Eli shrieked her saliva to answer him cautiously for fear of his looks: There is no reason for me to lie to you, sir, David put his hands on his head and said in a loss as he pressed him hard: That can never be true! How is this possible? I mean ... I mean ...

Then he suddenly fell silent, as if he had realized a woman, to look at Eli in astonishment and ask her with fear: Could that child’s attempt to kill herself be caused by my father and mother ?! Elie sighed and said with regret: Yes, sir ... Amy has suffered for a long time because of them since that day! It was very difficult to believe that he asked her painfully, trying to discredit what he heard: Are you saying that my father had accepted such a silly thing ?! Elie sadly replied: Yes ... they all hold her responsible for what happened!

David lying, looking into the void, said: Impossible, this is not possible! How could dad and mom do such a terrible thing! He lowered his head and remained silent for minutes. But he suddenly grabbed his hands, and on his face an angry look that he could not hide at all .. He said angrily while trying to control himself with difficulty: That is the most ridiculous thing my ears have ever heard. I have to bring them back to their senses, how can they think in this pathetic way !!

Ellie was very happy to hear his words, this was what she had always been waiting for throughout the years in which she knew that poor child, whom everyone had rejected because of a sin she had not committed, and a sin that a child like her should never have carried away. Her eyes teared up and she said happily to herself: Finally, Amy, finally, someone will stand next to you, my little girl!

She was sitting on the ground looking at the void in amazement .. She could not listen to their entire conversation. As soon as she knew the truth of the matter, she fell on her knees to sneak into her mind that terrible memory that buried her in the depths of her memory a very long time ago .. the image of that seated child On his white bed, every time she saw him, she did not know who he was, but she remembered very well that she loved him so much and loved those long times that she spent with him. She knew very well that he loved her too, and he had been waiting impatiently to meet her. He looked like her a lot, but she did not know before that he was her brother, but even her twin...

She used to talk to him about the outside, a lot of games you play ... the scenes you see. She used to describe everything to him so that he felt that he saw it in front of him. He always told her how much he wished to go out to play like her, and to see those scenes like her too. You couldn't understand at the time why this kid had to be locked up here all the time? Why couldn't he move freely like her? I remembered that day, when she told him about the snowman that she made with her best friend, the maid, Ellie! He demanded her urgently to show him to them. He seemed very excited to see snow that he had never seen in his life ... This was the first time he asked her for something, so she wanted to fulfill this one request, dear friend... She sneaked with him outside the palace, and in order for no one to see them, he would return the little boy to his cage, who knew very well how much he hates him. I accompanied him to the depths of the forest to show him the snow that I had always told him about more than once. Remember how happy he was at the time. This was the first time you had seen him smile so sincerely since I knew him. They played a lot without feeling the time, and without feeling that storm was approaching them little by little. What she remembered next was very blurry ... She had lost consciousness completely, and when she opened her eyes, she was lying on a medical mattress in a place that she now realized was the hospital.

There was no one beside her except her only friend, Ellie, who was sleeping in that leather chair at the side of the room, tiredly, and she crept out of the room looking for her friend who was with her. She stopped abruptly when she saw her parents standing in front of a large glass room..I approached them and asked them happily: Dad mom..where is Arthur? She couldn't forget the look of the board that she saw in her mother's eyes that day ... her father's sore eyes. Then the look of amazement, which was followed by the looks of hatred and hatred in the eyes of that old man who loudly approached her, slapping her little face with all his strength, until she felt that the bones of her jaw were almost shattered between his hands. I remembered those terrible words he kept chanting with his hatred: How dare you kill that child ?! How dare you take it from me? Then he pulled her hair tightly and he looked at her with hatred: How dare you possess this face, you damn thing? She was too young to absorb those words ... But the only thing she realized was that Arthur was dead!

She had asked Ellie one day about what death meant, and she told her that it meant the departure of that person for eternity. Her little mind that day had absorbed that only truth .. Arthur is dead and you will never see him again! She realized now that she was the cause of his death ... But despite this, does this allow her parents' cruelty to her and the blame of a small child like her about what happened?

Continued ...
