How to survive in a world full of weird talk [Comprehensive fear]

Margot Vijay has a secret.

...she hated the night.

In fact, what she hates is not the night, but in the dead of night, she can always see the other side of this building——

Even though she grew up here as a child.

She smelled the murky dampness of rotting wood and rot from the steel-constructed walls, thorny vines crawled out of the gutter and strangled her heart, piercing into the flesh without making a sound; The rustling sounds came, like a group of mice with bright and sharp teeth crawling on the rusty pipes, and she could still hear maggots wriggling and corpse flies flying, making annoying buzzing in her ears...

Margot doesn't like this manor, even though she is the eldest lady who lives in a good life, rich and precious, and high above her.

When she was young, she used to lie on the window sill, shaking her head and counting the stars.

"One, two, three..."

The stars are so beautiful.

They hang high in the dark night sky, like crystal clear and dazzling diamonds scattered by God in the black curtain.

One by one, each one is distinct.

With so many stars, will there be one that belongs to her?

I heard from my mother that after death, people will turn into stars in the sky. After my grandmother passed away, she watched her in the sky. Will my mother also watch her in the sky?

Little Margot was full of joyful anticipation, and she opened her eyes wide to the night sky.

The sky is full of stars, and the flowing galaxy is reflected in her joyful and hopeful, unstained eyes.

Then the doorknob turned and someone walked in.

Margo turned around and saw her brother.

Mason Vijay.

……

After that night, the starlight never shone into Margo's eyes again.

She couldn't see the shining river of stars, nor the golden wheel of sunrise and sunset; day and night were confused, and she didn't even want to tell them apart.

The flowerbed outside the window was full of beautiful red roses, and she shed tears. She felt that those tears would not be drunk by Mason.

Perhaps it was a one-time success that was not discovered, and Mason gradually intensified and became more rampant. After being unable to succeed under verbal threats, he turned to physical torture, so Margo would sit alone on the edge of the bed in the dead of night, but she no longer I stayed up late for the stars, but because of the unbearable pain.

She never counted the stars again.

Mom's words are deceiving, and they are deceiving children.

And she may not be a child anymore.

Later, old Vijay discovered the scars on Margo's body.

He called Mason to the study and gave him a reprimand, so Mason gradually reduced the number of times he went to look for Margo in the middle of the night.

He began placing game traps outside the muskrat farm.

And old Vijay found Margot again.

Her father said to her: keep everything in your heart, don't tell anyone, and keep the name of Vijay's family.

As long as Margo keeps it a secret, her father will give her a house as the basis for her future life.

"You are a girl, don't think about arguing with your brother." Old Vijay said, he turned around and made a will, giving his son the right to inherit the property. If Mason died, Margo would not get a cent.

...In fact, she didn't even want to compete with Mason for property.

The incident seemed to pass like this.

But at night when she was lying on the bed, leaning against the wall, she could still hear the crying.

She heard the cries of children on the other end, and she knew what they were suffering, Mason was always abducting children from orphanages and slums to come to Muskrat Farm, giving them toys, new clothes, candy and everything they never had in their young and poor lives. What they have experienced, the children come here happily, thinking that they will have happiness and joy, but they do not know that what they swallow is the poison wrapped in the candy coat.

They don't know what kind of horrific treatment they will suffer here, and their parents don't know it either.

Families in the slums thought they had met well-meaning rich people. They sent their children to play, but what they brought back was a complete body and a broken soul.

Just like her.

Margot was lying on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling coldly, numb and indifferent.

She hasn't looked up at the stars for a long time, and sometimes she can't even taste the hot and cold soup, thinking in a trance that the bread in front of her is covered with dirty maggots.

She heard Mason's high voice, he opened the party excitedly, opened the red wine that had been preserved for many years, toasted with the child's tears into his throat.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she turned her head and saw a withered rose.

Margot knew that she could never go back to the past.

Then she went to a new school.

On the day of entering school, she saw a girl as dazzling as that golden hair. Margot remembered that she also had long golden hair, but it was sparse and boring due to years of insomnia.

She blasted away those bullies, hugged the delicate little girl in her arms to comfort her, and wiped away the tears from the little girl's face with her slender and white fingers.

Ma Ge was surprised to find that her heart, which had been as indifferent as stagnant water for a long time, had a slight wave of waves.

——She couldn't help looking at the little girl who shed tears easily with the most vicious malice.

If it was in Mason's manor, she must be the one Mason likes the most.

She was confused and at a loss. She didn't know why she would cast such vicious thoughts on innocent others. She was afraid of her own despicable heart, and she even wrapped herself tightly so that no one could see her.

Her heart that has long since rotted and maggoted.

Later, she actually became roommates with those two people.

The protector's girl is called Sidelle. She has proud long golden hair, snow-white skin, and a pair of deep blue eyes. Whenever her eyes glance over, Margo's heart beats faster. , and then cowardly avoided.

She always felt that...Sydel could see everything about her, her rotting flesh wrapped in expensive clothes.

One day, the girl named Sidelle said in the dormitory:

If you are being bullied, come to me.

She was very beautiful, with a dull expression on her plain white face, raised her slender eyelashes, and her blue eyes lightly swept across the girls in the dormitory.

Her aura was indifferent, as if there was a faint air-conditioning all over her body, but even so, she still seemed to be shimmering in the dark dormitory.

Strangely, at that moment, Margo suddenly heard her heart beating alive.

——It is no longer because of the accelerated beating of cowardice and fear, but...

Tension and... anticipation like never before.

She seemed to see the stars in the dark night again at this moment.

But she no longer had the courage to hope that she could own a star.

Margo was still silently watching everything in front of her in the dark, silently, just like she was at the Muskrat Farm.

She seemed to come out of that place, but she didn't seem to come out.

She saw that Louise and Sidel became good friends, and she saw Sidel smiling at Louise; she knew that Jacqueline hated Sidel, and she hated Sidel too, but their dislikes could not be compared.

One day, Sytel saw the unhealed wounds on her body.

She saw the instant restrained surprise in Sidelle's eyes, Sidelle talked to her as if nothing had happened, and did not show any strangeness.

Margot suddenly understood that Sidelle might not be the arrogant and indifferent in the eyes of outsiders, she was actually very gentle.

……All right.

she thinks.

Even if it is not her star, she still hopes that this star can hang in the night sky forever and never fall.

When the school was on vacation, she returned to the Muskrat Farm and saw her brother - Mason Vijay again.

He was still the same as usual, Margo thought that she might be able to do something, but facing the cold and tall iron wall, she flinched cowardly again.

Until the contacts on the phone were seen by Mason, he grabbed the phone frantically and excitedly, chanting words to Sidelle's name.

It was only then that Margot realized that Mason had already set his sights on Sidelle a few years ago, but how could she let that star fall into the mud, even if the star did not belong to her.

She would be sad if the shining star fell into the dirty mud.

Margo wanted to grab the phone back. Of course Mason could beat his 12-year-old sister, but he was shocked by her madness.

Later, Margot's mobile phone was still in the hands of Mason, because their father, old Vijay, came back, and he couldn't stand his daughter's offense to his son—for example, when Margot bit off a piece of meat on Mason's wrist, the drunk man pulled out his belt handle The daughter was dragged into the secret room.

In fact, it hurts to be beaten, but Margot didn't cry, because Mason had already wiped away her tears when she was a child.

She was still thinking about the stars, although she hadn't seen them for many years.

but……

The stars are really, really beautiful.

It wasn't her star, but for a moment, the starlight really shone in her eyes, and she saw the child who was sitting by the window looking up and counting the stars many years ago.

She is still so clean, innocent and spotless.

Under the light of the bright galaxy, she seemed to have also turned into a star.

Shining, shining stars.

After Margot was found by the housekeeper, Mason asked a doctor to prescribe her medicine.

"Why do you say you provoke the old man?" He giggled beside her bed, "It's not like you don't know his violent temper."

"Don't talk nonsense when Sytel comes," Mason threatened her, because she had always been submissive, and he couldn't even remember that Margot was a person who would resist.

Margot pretended to be obedient and lowered her head, but still stole someone else's mobile phone to send messages to Sydel during the interval.

【Don't come. 】

... run away.

Don't come here, it's hell on earth.

She thought that she would probably never see Sydel again, although she wanted to see her very much.

But the next day, when she went downstairs, she saw the little girl with blond hair and snow skin on the sofa looking up at her.

Margot subconsciously evoked a smile, although she had lost the muscle memory of laughing, and also forgot the emotion when people laughed.

Now, the star fell into her bosom anyway.

Even though she was timid, mean and ugly, she didn't step forward.

Sidel is still the morning star who brought her out of the darkness.
