Anastasia Steele
Another day of cleaning the throw up in the bathroom floor up and hoping not to wake my mom and dad during doing it. Suddenly I feel my hair being jerked and I am pulled backwards down the stairs by my dad. Raymond Steele is not a nice man when he is awake. At least he isn't sexually assaulting me. Like my friend Kate Kavanagh's father is doing to her. Eamon is worse than my dad. Mom is not as strong as dad, but bruises and verbal slurs are both injurious to my heart, mind, self confidence and soul. They tell me what a waste of space I am and that I should never have survived birth. My twin brother died and I lived. The have photos of his dead body and not one of me.
Raymond Steele
Anastasia is still trying my patience. She hasn't kept this house clean like she us supposed to. Today us the day she lived and her brother died because she was stuck in the birth canal and he died before they could get him out after doing a c section on Carla that was six years ago. The alcohol doesn't dull the pain we feel on this day. I throw the bottle at her and she ducks as the glass shatters and glass hits her arms and now she us bleeding all over the floors. I tell her to stop bleeding on the floor. She tries to stop it by using a towel from the laundry room. Our last clean one, because she didn't do the laundry. I get up and throw her out in the snow telling her the cold will stop the bleeding and then she can come back and clean up the blood.
Carla
God can you stop the telling please. Today is a bad day and my head is hurting again. Where us Anastasia and why hasn't she cleaned up this mess yet?
Ray
She  is outside stopping the bleeding and will be back inside soon. I wait and wait and go look and see a blood trail leading out the gate. She ran away again, go see if you can get her back here now Carla. We won't get the money or food stamps if she isn't here.
Carla
You go get her, my head is hurting and this baby is kicking up a storm. I am not the one who threw a bottle at her and caused her to get cut and bleed. You were. I think dragging her down the stairs has got to stop. The bruises will be noticeable to the caseworker.
Anastasia
Kate and Ethan dragged me out if the gate and they took me to get the bleeding to stop. We make it to the fire department.
Ethan
I heard him dragging her down the stairs again. It isn't hard since we live in a duplex and the walls are so thin. She is only six. The same age as Kate. I found my dad naked by Kate again and her crying quietly. This stops today after I got Kate dressed and dress myself and we find Anastasia bleeding badly and go to the fire station.
Kate
Ethan found me after my dad finally fell asleep after what he did to me again. This isn't the first time he had hurt me by doing something to me while we are both naked. It hurts when he pushes his make part into my female part, I bleed each time. Ethan git me dressed and dressed himself and said today it ends. We go outside and see Anastasia bleeding and freezing in the snow with no shoes in and a little nightgown on. The fire department us the safest and closest to us to get her medical care. Ethan is nine and he has two black eyes from trying to protect me from our father.
Fireman Collins
I see three children walking up the snow-filled drive and call for help as I notice one is bleeding badly. We treat all three of the children and get them warmed up and get them ready for transport. I notice something about the other girl and keep quiet. The doctors are trained to know when a six year old has been raped. I can't believe the abuse these three look to have been through.
Dr Carrick Grey
The three children they bring in are in need of immediate care. But the one needs a rape kit done on her. I call the cops and social services along with CPS. The children won't answer any questions. This is going to be a long night. I call Grace and tell her I will be late and to have supper without me.
Grace
I just arrived home after a rough day at work. A child killer case is not something I want to see just before Christmas or any time. Carrick tells me three abused children were brought in by the fire department and it is going to be a long night and not to save dinner for him. He says kiss and hug our kids for him and he wants me to tell them he loves them and me as well. He is called over the intercom and has to go. I tell him I love him as well and hang up.
Carrick
The children won't give us their names or addresses. A rape kit is ordered on the little blonde and we have women caring for her. Her brother says their father hurt his sister and him. I ask him how his dad hurt him?
Ethan
I show the bruises and the other injuries. They call for me to be taken to another room to be examined separately. They are very gentle and I explain how my father has hurt me. The take photos and swabs in places and the nice dr has to leave for surgery immediately and leaves me with two very kind doctors.
Carrick
The brunette had to be taken into surgery to fix a few wounds, the glass was in bedded into her cut and kept going deeper and we had to operate in her to stop the bleeding after getting the glass from a beer bottle out of several places in her tiny body. She had to be transfused twice. We had to intubate her and keep her in a coma. She flatlined twice. We missed how bad she was after noticing the blood on the little blondes night gown in her private area. We also failed to realize she wasn't the only one sexually assaulted.
