1. When It All Started...

Once, there was a girl named Rose. So little just like a drop of water dropping from the rock to the ground in a dark cave, no one would even notice it but after sometime the drop turns into a lake.So full of potential and yet didn't know its importance and unaware of her value. Always so shy and sensitive, so fragile like a snow flake that anyone can break just with the press of a thumb.

Always trying to fit in with faking herself...hiding herself or she just didn't knew who she really was.Scared of hurting or displeasing others no matter whether getting hurt in return, always smiling no matter what inside....always forgiving when hurt by others.Being treated like a nobody but always in everyones favor.Had a big heart which was full of love and care, but there was always something else among those.Sometimes it was sadness, then sometimes it was an aching pain that strikes right through the heart.It wasn't cowardice but fear that made her that way or maybe both.The fear of losing the ones she loved, and scared of hurting them.She was as pure as anything can be, but the world was cruel.She had it in her but just didn't know, didn't know who she was, what she wanted and what she needed. Had never actually met herself. People even spend their entire lives without even actually knowing who they really are,without actually meeting themselves, without knowing who was inside of them.So just like them, she didn't either.But still, she was yet just a 8 year old kid.

She didn't knew how to give respect to herself or what was self-respect.Just like when we don't know the value of a thing owned by us we do not respect it.So like any other child, she started keeping herself occupied in silly things.

She wasn't from a big city nor a village, she was just from a small town with not many facilities.Her father was a man who knew what the world was, had explored many countries and was different from almost all the people in her world. He was a person of great potential and maybe she wasn't a small town bumpkin she thought she was, maybe she was just so naive to think of everything so grandly.She didn't knew what the world was, always traveled but barely even knew the surface.

As she got to the age 9, an incident happened to her elder brother which involved her.

Till then, all that had happened in her life were all child memories and she didn't quite got what was happening in her life and just went with the flow of life, just like a normal child. But then, something *changed*, **SHE** *changed*.

As all the brother-sister relationships in the world, theirs wasn't a pleasant one either.There wasn't had much of an age difference, her brother was only an year elder then she was. They were still new to their surroundings and didn't had any friends, so he could play with her.

So one day she sat on the upper level of their bunker with a new game she had just bought with her back to the wall, and brother came up and asked her so that he can also play with her.They tried playing with it for a while but perhaps the game was a bit difficult for them, so she got angry and started wrapping it up, since the game had a lot of pieces her brother was also helping her.

And when it came to counting to see if they had all the pieces, she wanted to do it because it was her thing and wanted to confirm by herself, but her brother wouldn't let her do it because he wanted to do so but both of them did not give up and so came down to fighting.

As she got angry and irritated, she started punching and pushing him and to block his attack started kicking him.Since her back was to the wall and he was facing the wall and had no support to lean onto, so as she was kicking him, he fell down badly.As he fell to the ground, there was a huge thud and as she heard it and afterwards, as everything went silent, she ran off to the ground and was sent to a state of shock from what she saw.There was a small pool of blood forming around him...💥..💥!?!!?!
