!TW: small abuse!

I was walking down the streets of town. It was a beautiful day, slightly cloudy with a light breeze.

As I was walking down I noticed a young girl, looked to be 14 or 15, she had long/medium lengthed red brown hair, pale skin, and a lean body. She wore her hair half up half down letting locks of it hang around her shoulders. She wore an oversized black flanal, torn jeans and a black cropped tank top. One thing I noticed where the many bandages on her body. Although I couldnt see her face I could tell she was frightend of the male figure infront of her.

My brow furrowed in concern for the young girl. Even from this distance I could feel her uneasy ness and fear radiating off of her.    "if you say another word about it, you won't like what happens next brat" I heard him say in a low snotty voice to the girl. The girl next to her, tall, short dirty tanish blond hair, tan skin, fit body, wearing a redish color sweater vest with a white long sleeve dress shirt and black jeans, let her hand find her way to the younger girls hand giving it a tight squeeze. The girl looked at her feet and returned the squeeze by squeezing the older girls hand in return. She said something in low, soft voice, but I couldnt hear what she said.

The older girl looked at her with wide eyes and looked at the male figure. Before she could react he turned around slapping the younger girl so hard she fell over onto her side holding her face. Her body was stiff but I could see her trembling. The older girl scolded the male and he only scoffed. I slowly walked over and stood next to the older girl. "Miss, do you need help?" She looked at me with her hazle nut brown eyes full of sorrow. She nodded and looked down at the younger girl. She was still holding her face but had sat up and pulled her knees to her chest.

I sigh and crouch down and spoke with a soft tone "hey" She didnt look at me but hummed in response to let me know she acknowledged me "What happend? are you okay?" I asked, concerned. Before she could respond she was yanked up by her arm, she let out a startled yelp and I look up to see the man glaring at me. "why are you talking to my daughter, you scum?" he demanded. I stood up and faced him "I am sorry, sir. I saw a comotion and was concerend if she was okay." he scoffed "a boy like you should not be talking to her." 

Now, I was a tall thin but fit girl with dark but light skin, short dark hair, Black eyes but blind in one with a scar over it and multiple up and down my arms. "I'm sorry sir, but I am a girl." his eyes norrowed at my words "we will be leaving now" her starts to drag the girl away but she stands firm againts his grip. "RIver. Lets go. Now" he said sternly. She looked at him and I held my breath. "No. I'll walk home when I'm ready." she replied, in a slow soft hushed voice.  Her father growled under his voice but let her go so that I wouln't see his abusive actions.

!River's POV!

I stood there trembling knowing that when I got home I would get a beating. I kept my head down and turned towards the girl "thank you" "Y-your welcome." she stumbled over her words and I gave a small giggle "oh! How dumb am I? I didn't introduce myself. I'm Esmeray" I could hear her smile and embarassment in her voice, but with a hint of devilish means. "River"
