Death by a Thousand Cuts

Death by a thousand cuts (死亡一千削減)

Prologue Emma was all alone in her room. She was dumped by her boyfriend that cheated on her. He said he used her to get A's in all his classes but since the year was over he didn't need her. Every time she thought of him she shed tears. Her life was complicated because her mom would go out all night every night. Her mom had a boyfriend his name was Pedro. Pedro had alcohol issues so he would beat Emma and Emma's mom (Jessica) would just watch. With a drink in hand he would take off his leather belt and beat Emma. Jessica with a cigarette in between her fingers cheering Pedro on. Emma wished she could live with her dad but sadly,he died from cancer when she was 4 years old. She got in lots of fights,parent conferences nobody would show up,and she would only eat 1 meal a day (two if she was lucky). Thats when it all happened! She started cutting arms,legs,and face for she studied when the Chinese punished those by cutting them one thousand times until death! Obviously Jessica didn't care. She started to make long cuts so she can fill the emptiness with pain. The teachers noticed and called home right away but Jessica never answered. Child Protective Services (CPS) went to Jessica's house and she freaked out because she needed Emma to do her bidding. Emma tried to tell CPS all she could about all Jessica did and all Pedro did. But Jessica blackmailed her she said with a grin "You do know it takes them a week for them to take you and it'll take me one day to kill you. I will go to jail but finally i would be rid of you forever! So you better not say anything! Understood!!" Emma had no choice but to say " I will mom" Jessica knowing she had all the control said "Madam will be fine." laughing with an evil laugh and smashing a empty beer bottle on her head.
