The Broken Doll That Was Left Behind: "Please don't leave me"

Prologue: Cursed Birth

"There she is!" the woman ran as fast as she could to save her little girl, "Quick! Kill the child!" out of all options, she pushed her daughter over the river to save her from the flying knives.

"Please forgive me… you must survive this Reo!"

"Mommy!" the last thing Reo saw before being washed away by the waves was her mother getting whipped by men as she groaned out her pain.

After a few days, she was bought to shore to an unfamiliar town. She was shaking all over and had sort of developed a trauma of waters. "Where am… I?" her eyes darted around knowing nothing about where she is.

"Hello, you don't seem to be from around here," she panicked when a man approached her, "Don't be scared, what's your name?"

"R-Reo…" she held herself tight.

"Reo huh? Honey! Come over here! I found a baby," he yelled at the house across him which seems to be his home.

A woman came out of the house and ran happily towards Reo, "My! What a cute baby!" she didn't hesitate on hugging the ragged kid, "Where did you found her?"

"Just here at the shore, probably by the dangerous currents yesterday…"

"Oh! You poor thing, I'm so glad you're safe," the little girl didn't say a word.

The couple decided to take her in as her new parents. They owned a dojo and a huge house, too big for just the two of them. They raised her as a boy to carry on their name and in order for protection and at a very young age she was trained with swords to be good at it. She became their treasure, they were very proud of her for being strong and a good natured son.

"Father, I have mastered the new technique you showed me," she showed off in front of her father on what her new trick is. She swung her sword with great speed; cutting off the tree, her father was sitting on, was to impress him more.

"Good work my boy! For that Mom will cook your favorite dish," her father carried her to his shoulders and ran into their house.

"Itadakimasu," there were times that Reo tried to remember her real parents and what would be her life if she was with them rather than the kind new parents she's with right now. The couple didn't really showed any hostility towards her, they gave all she wants; an expensive outfit, a brilliant sword, and the next position as head of their clan that her father had defended for her. They were people who could never bear a child of their own, they told her that their house was big because they wanted to have a lot of kids, but they ended up with none until they found her.

All in all she was living a good life until that night a certain incident had to happen, a tragic one… She heard a loud thud from her parents' room, so she immediately sprinted there to see what happened. There were trails of blood on the tatami mats and walls. She lit up a candle and then puked at the nauseating scenery before her eyes. Both her mother and father had swords on their hands, it was a double suicide! She couldn't believe her eyes, there was nothing wrong with them and yet it happened.

It was midnight when she decided to bury her parents at the backyard and with her little body she carried both the corpses to the grave she dug for them.

"Why… did this happen?" Something had snapped inside her that turned her into someone who was cold and merciless.

So this is what it means to be forsaken…
