"Are you still going to leave me?" 5 year old Denari asked her big brother who was 8 at the time. "Yes Nari. I have to although I don't want to leave you" Jayden said sadly to his little sister. He truly loved her but he knew she might not remember everything. "Then stay if you don't want to leave me" she said. He chuckled as he knew how smart she was. "I wish I could but I can't. Mommy says when you're older you will come" he said.

"How older is that?" she asked. "I don't know but one day you will find out" he said as he kissed her forehead. "Denari?" Ciara called. "Mommy!" Denari squealed as she wrapped her small hands around her mother's neck. "Hi baby" she smiled. "Okay, you're gonna stay with Aunty Kira and Uncle James until you're old enough to come up on your own. But remember that I am only a phone call away" she told her daughter as she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket. Denari studied the paper before looking back at her mother.

"You're going to leave me too Mommy?" Denari asked as her voice broke and fear swirled in her brown eyes. Ciara felt a tear escape her eye. "Mommy will be back for you and mommy and daddy will visit you every holiday" Ciara said as she kissed her daughter's forehead. Ciara and Richard decided that they would bring up one child at a time so that they can take their time. Ciara didn't want to leave Denari but she didn't have a choice because her files weren't ready as yet.

Denari watched as her parents drove off along with Jayden. Denari went to cry her eyes out. She missed them so badly. Day after day she waited for them to come home but they never showed up. She waited until she eventually gave up. She was all alone. She didn't have any friends and her aunt wasn't at home much because she was a nurse and for some strange reason the had a bad feeling about her uncle.
........

One day after she just turned 17, she was on her way to school when her uncle stopped her. "Where you going?" James said. "I'm going to school" she said trying not to seem nervous. "So early?" he asked. "Yes school starts at 8:00 a.m. and it's 7:15 a.m. and I need to make it for registration for 7:40 a.m." she explained. "I'll drive you to school" he said. "Thanks but no thanks" she said. As she was about to open the door, he grabbed her hand and braced her against the wall.

"What are you doing?" she asked frightened. "I said I'll drive you to school" he said. "And I said I don't need it" she said. He looked at her with a smug look before dragging her to her bedroom. "Stop you're hurting me" she cried. "Shut the fuck up and don't make a damn sound or I'mma do it myself" he threatened. She never saw this side of her uncle before and she was so scared that she felt as if she was going to have a heart attack.

"Take your clothes off" he commanded. "No" she said firmly. "Did I fucking ask? I said take them off, now!" he yelled as she jumped a little out of fright. She nervously took off her clothes piece by piece. A soft sob escaped her lips. When she was in her bra and panties, he came closer but she backed up until her back was touching the wall. "Look at all that ass" he said lustfully. She wished her aunt could come and rescue her but knowing how he might have planned this, he would find a way to make it look like it was her fault.

"Turn around" he said. She was glued in her position out of fright. "Move it!" he yelled as she quickly turned around. He then pulled down her pants and inserted himself in her. She screamed out before her covered her mouth as he sped up. She cried and cried wishing that someone would rescue her. After he was done with her, he left her lying on the ground crying. "Don't tell anyone about this or else you're dead" he threatened. "After all, who's gonna believe a slut?" he said smirking before he left her. She got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. She couldn't even look at her reflection. She felt like a disappointment and she was starting to believe what he said. He continued molesting her until she became 18.

"Honey are you okay?" Kira asked Denari who looked like she wasn't herself. "Yeah, I am okay" Denari said with a sad smile. She was really trying to be happy but she felt like she wanted to just die.

"Denari Ayana Harris, don't lie to me" her aunt said sternly. "I just have been struggling with the whole "not having any friends" situation" she lied. Although it wasn't all a lie she really was struggling with making friends but she couldn't tell her aunt because James threatened to kill her every time he would mess with her. "Anyways, I have something to tell you" Kira said. "What's that?" Denari asked. "You can finally go to your parents now that you're 18 and can travel by yourself" Kira said.

"Really?" Denari asked as she found herself crying. "Yes honey, you get to see your mamma and your daddy and Jayden" Kira said. "I missed them so much even though they never really visited as often as I'd like" Denari said. "Well, you're leaving tomorrow. You're flight arrangements have already been sorted out so go and pack. I have to go to work but I will be back in the morning to carry you to the airport" Kira said but Denari didn't want her to leave her with the monster.

"Bye baby, I love you" she said as she kissed her cheek. The minute her aunt left, James came towards her. "I need you now" he demanded. "I'm sick and tired of this. What you need is help and you've already made me feel like I'm worthless and and I don't need that today" Denari said as she brushed past him. "Who the fuck you think you talking to bitch?" he yelled. "I'm talking to you!" she yelled. Suddenly, she felt a sting on her left cheek. He hit her. "I didn't ask now go to your room" he said as she walked as she sobbed. The minute they were in her room, he threw her on the bed and had his way with her.

That was when Denari thought about ending all her suffering. But she knew that she wanted to see her parents and Jayden and that she needed to get away from her uncle. 'Just one more night' she said to herself as she cried.
