Woeful

Under the sparkling rain drops trembling she started writing on wet piece of paper.
Every line she writes soon dies by the lonely drops of mercy. Smiling nervously, she whispers to herself while watching the ink fade away "stop killing my words" even though she realizes that she can't write under the rain, she keeps doing it anyway.
Ancient memories sparked her mind from the dawn of childhood, familiar faces are shown but a single face is somehow unclear.. yet she feels as if she knows who that person is. Looking down on the gray ground, her memories are struck asunder.
As if she has been struck by a head-wrenching headache, she held her head and let a out a cry " No! "
Falling on her knees she started mumbling some words " forgive.. love me, no please" her eyes teared up and her heart raced clinging to whatever warmth is left in her body.
A faint memory of her playing in a colorful field of flowers, and with her was a faceless entity.
"What kind of a flower is that" she says with joy to a boy, "this is called a lilac" he said smiling in a strange way to her.
Running around the field they stumbled upon a rare flower and the girl never wasted any time to ask what kind is that dark-blue flower is. "I don't know", filled with confusion he said it "But lets call her Sarah because it's rare and special just like you"
Blushing she turned away her face, with him smiling in a self-satisfied way.. as if he knew how to manipulate this girl.
the days under the eternal sun passed fast, the girl's family discovered her secret affection towards the gardener's son, she was kept inside the mansion not permitted to go outside without the company of her parents.
Dark circles formed under her eyes from sleepless and tearful nights, she decided one day to send a letter to him. She kept sending her letters with the maid getting her responses back from the gardener's son.
They decided to run away from the enclosed misery they live in. Promises of elopement were made a romantic aroma covered the mansion on the night of the great escape.
Running under the starry sky, through the dreamy field of flowers they both breath the fresh scent of freedom.
Suddenly the boy stopped "Look Sarah, it's the Dark flower" withered away and dying the flower looked so empty. She looked on the flower feeling a strange scent of tension coming from withing, she looked back at him "Why is it dying, why didn't you take care of Sarah!"
He stood silently staring at her coldly "because it reminds me of you" as shocking as the answer was, Sarah felt a tone of resentment and swiftly realized what's going on, even though her heart is in shreds her face didn't show any emotions.
"Do I make you feel small" she said smiling at him, flinching he started breathing quickly with a glare of anger growing inside his eyes.
"Why the silence farmer-boy?"
As if he was possessed by the demons of hell, his eyes inflamed and tried to grab Sarah but feeling she went too far she ran away from him.. but she wasn't fast enough as he jumped her from the back and pushed her aggressively on the flower-covered earth.
The gardener's son slapped Sarah while she was helplessly trying to break away from his anger-driven fists. The boy kept screaming and raving. Hitting Sarah mercilessly without thinking to stop "Who are you now huh? how BIG do you feel now you're on the ground like any useless bug"
"I'm sorry please stop it hurts" she cried
He stopped after breaking her nose, stood up and spat on her.. while rushing to his home.
Sarah went back to the mansion.. feeling humiliated and a certain vindictive desire started to grow on her soul. Stepping inside the halls of the mansions she let out a sharp cry and started weeping calling for her parents, her crying turned the mansion alight and everyone rushed to her.
"What happened" her father demandingly shouted, Sarah then with her face covered in blood continued crying and then saying with a weakened voice while being taken care of by the maids "I can't... say..here" her father asked the maids and only him and her mother stayed, Sarah's mother hugged her daughter and asked her to tell them what happened.
Closing her eyes, Sarah uttered slowly"it's the gardener he attacked me in my room and...
"AND WHAT" her father screamed
"And he forced himself on me".. moments of silence followed Sarah's statement...
her mother collapsed losing her conscious, while her father stormed out of the mansion.
Everyone living near the mansion noticed that night that a certain hut was set to flames, and nobody survived even the latest guest to the gardener's family a three-months old little girl named Sarah after his Master's beautiful daughter's name.
The other Sarah also disappeared engulfed by guilt and shame, and never to be seen again.
