My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 572: Amelia's Sorrowful Past 2

-----

"Amelia, why do you want to die?"

A beautiful woman with short brown and blonde hair, and beautiful emerald eyes emerged before her one day.

She had been being given drugs to sleep her quicker and to dull her senses because whenever she woke up, she would try to kill herself somehow.

She had already tried to bite her tongue over twenty times, and other times had grabbed medical utensils and stabbed her arms so she could die out of bleeding.

All these times she was barely rescued.

She was quickly assigned a special person, a psychiatric in the area of suicidal people and mental illnesses.

She was brought into another place, where many other "special children" like her were, they all had horrible problems, and many suffered similar lives than her, traumas that couldn't be easily resolved tormented their daily lives and didn't let them live like they were… as children.

And this woman looked at her that day and asked her that question.

Why does she wants to die so much?

"…"

She couldn't answer. Many times they thought that Amelia was mute, but they were told she had indeed spoken other times.

She simply… couldn't speak and wouldn't speak.

She caged herself hugging herself in a fetal position and looking blankly into the floor.

"…"

For hours and hours.

And hours…

The woman looked at her with contempt, she was persevering each day to come meet her.

"Amelia?"

"…"

"It is fine, you don't need to say anything if you don't want to. So, what do you want to do?"

"…"

"Ah, I see! Wait a bit."

"…"

Amelia looked as the woman suddenly borrowed a few paper with drawings on them.

"Do you liked drawings, Amelia? Look, they're pretty, right?" she asked.

"…"

Amelia faintly looked at them but then lost interest.

"Look! This one looks like a lion… Have you seen a lion before?"

"Oh, this one is a bear… very fierce, right?"

"And this one is a beautiful wolf… Do you know what all these animals have in common, Amelia?"

"…"

"Indeed, they're predators."

"…?"

Amelia looked back at the woman.

"Pick your interest? Amelia, have you… met a predator before, by any chance?"

"…?!"

"Anyone that… has made you suffer? That has made you like this? someone that abused of your weakness, of your frailness?"

"…"

"Tell me, dear…"

"…"

"I just… want to help you and bring whoever might had made you like this to justice."

Amelia was rather intelligent.

She knew exactly what Amelia meant.

She couldn't really say anything though.

Her throat felt sore and dry.

"…Ja."

"Ja?"

"Jani…"

"Jani…?"

"…"

"Jani… What could start with Jani… Jani… Janitor?" asked the woman.

Amelia looked back at her.

The woman noticed that her eyes, devoid of any light, were showing a deep sorrow and anguish.

An utter agony.

"…I see. We'll look up to all the Janitors in the orphanage."

"…"

"For now, dear… Do you want to eat something? feel thirsty? I'll give you anything you want to eat."

"An…. Anything?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah! Good girl! You're talking now!" said the woman.

"…" However, Amelia fell into silent again, the praise only scared her.

"Sorry… I am a bit loud sometimes… I will try to speak in a low tone of voice so you won't get surprised." Said the woman.

"…Meat." Said Amelia.

"Meat? You want meat? What type of meat? Beef? Chicken? Fish? Anything, I will bring you anything you want." Said the woman.

"B-Beef jerky…"

"Ooh! Don't you want a real beef thogh?"

"Real?"

"Yes, a big and juicy piece of meat, with a lot of flavor and protein, you really need it so you can grow strong." said the woman.

Amelia faintly nodded.

"Alright then!"

That day, Amelia was served an amazing grilled beef, covered in a sweet sauce, some mashed potatoes, orange juice, and a few pieces of bread.

There was even a dessert in strawberry jelly.

Everything was so tasty that Amelia almost cried out of happiness.

Her mouth was filled with so many flavors, it made her forget all the disgusting things she ate in that orphanage.

"Ahh! You ate everything! I am so proud of you… Good work, you feel full now?" asked the woman.

Amelia nodded.

"I am so happy… Let's eat every day, three times a day, whatever you want." Said the woman.

"Re… really?" asked Amelia.

"Yeah, yeah! I am going to do it." said the woman.

"…"

Amelia remained silent but, she seemed faintly happy.

After that day, she began to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the woman.

She asked everything she wanted, sometimes, there wouldn't be enough ingredients, but Amelia didn't seem to care, as long as she could eat tasty food.

Like this, half a year happened, and she slowly, very slowly opened more.

Spoke more, and learned more.

She was given fairy tale books of fantasy and all she liked to read.

She delved into these books and escaped reality, feeling happy.

Until one day… something happened.

"Amelia, we caught the bast- I mean, the monster that… did bad things to you." Said the woman.

Amelia suddenly opened her eyes wide.

The woman showed a photo of the man to her.

"He was found of charges of abuses of little girls in the orphanage for over twenty girls… You were not the only one that wasn't speaking… this fucki- I mean, this sickly monster had been doing this for very long… they even found videos in his laptop… he's going to get death sentence, he's actually just going to get what he deserves, a painful death in the electric seat! Hahahaha!" laughed the woman feeling triumphant

Amelia never thought she would feel so much joy over the death of someone like now.

The woman herself was rather sadistic in this regard.

"Ah! Sorry, I shouldn't had really said that to a child…" sighed the woman.

"No… its fine… I am glad he was caught…" said Amelia.

"But what he did to you… it cannot… be easily forgotten, right?" sighed the woman

"…"

"We'll get through it together, dear… Alright? I will never leave you…"
