MAYA COME HERE NOW" karnila screamed. I quickly hid my things and came out my special place, the only place where I felt like I could be myself. I took a deep breath as I slowly walked towards her. I was exhausted and just didn't have enough energy to cope with her nastiness.As I got closer I realised she had her hands behind her back.
"You peice of sh**,you think you know everything,you think you the most prettiest and the most loveliest girl in the whole world just cos daddy says he loves you" she snarled "you need to be taught a lesson and as your mother that is just what I intend to do!" Then with an evil grin she revealed to me what she had been hiding behind her back to my horror in her right hand was a pair of large scissors and in her left hand was Rhia my teddy bear.she held the scissors open with Rhia's neck in between the two blades.

Rhia was a gift from Jay. She had my name written on her paws. I slept with her every night, she made me feel better and gave me comfort.she reminded me of jay and it surprisibly brought me comfort.

When I was nine my dad bought me a phone so we could keep in touch while he was on his bussiness trips.He was away from home alot because of his job. I can remember him handing me the phone
"Do you like it" he asked his face unsure
"I love love LOVE it.Thank you so much" I had squealed and I ran up to him and hugged him really hard he laughed
"Im glad you like it" he said with a bright smile
"Really Callum do you really think she is old enough.I mean she's only nine and it will probably end up broken anyway" karnilla said moodily from the back of the room giving me secret filthy looks.That is about as nasty as she got in front of dad.
"No, Maya isn't that careless and I trust my daughter she is more mature, honest and trustworthy than many people twice her age. I want to be able to talk to Maya no matter what country I am in" he argued.
"Yeah, you're right" she said with a sweet smile. That evening dad went to Belgium and karnilla turned even more nastier than before it was as if dads words had made her hate me even more. She locked me out of the house in the freezing night.I layed there on the wet, freezing grass crying silently.I could feel the presence of someone, I looked up to find Jayden a friend who lived in the same neighbourhood sat next to me. He helped me get throught the nights when karnilla locked me outside and through other painful times like when she decided to carve her name on my back because of this we became close. we played imaginery games in which my name was Rhia.We talked about our problems. I felt like I could tell him anything but of coarse like all good things in my life it couldn't last. karnilla eventually found out.I was surprised to discover that she didn't react how I expected.She insisted that I invite him over,so I did.

"No, please please dont do this I will do anything please"I begged
Her smile grew bigger I burst into tears
"You should know very well maya that crying will make me more angry" she said with a wicked grin and with that she opened the scissors and shut them again repeatedly causing white cotteny stuff to come out. I fell to my knees,I howled she then tossed the remaining peices at me and walked away.
