Jamie:

What do they want from us! We never did anything to them! I can feel Elie clinging on tightly to the back of my shirt, but she's barely there. They've already broken her, she isn't even crying anymore. Mother stood towering over us, grinning sinisterly. I wrapped my arms behind me holding Elie tight behind my back. This wasn't the first time we had been pined into a corner fearing for our lives over a little mistake, and It certainly won't be the last time either. Our parents have always hated us, but we never did anything wrong, how could we, we were just kids! Something happened before we were born that made them go insane, or maybe they were always this way. . . But most likely, It's both.

I managed to protect Elie, she just stood there with a blank look on her face. It's as if all the happiness left her soul and she became-
She became empty.
