Prologue

Eleven years ago.........

************************************

"No, please!, Please!!, I beg you"Camilla screamed out as a man was striping her off her clothes.
"You better shut up that mouth of yours"The man shouted back at her landing a slap on her face.
Camilla cried; she was helpless at that point. This was what happened to her every single night and she couldn't take it anymore.

"I said stop!!!, You monster, I've had enough of you"Camilla suddenly shouted out with so much courage. She pushed him off her breathing out heavily. The man got angry and dragged her back on the bed beating her mercilessly.
Suddenly he screamed; "Ahhhhhh you!!!!!".
Camilla couldn't understand what had happened. There was blood all over her. What had she done????. A man was lying in her room lifeless. She dropped what she was holding in her hands trying to reason out what had happened.

Camilla broke into tears; Did she just kill someone?; She was going to jail?; She was going to be killed too; she was sure. What was she going to do???.

"This is a crime scene ma'am"The police officer said to Mrs Daniels.
"That is my husband, let me see him"She cried.
"No ma'am" He replied.
"Camilla!"Mrs Daniels said running towards where her daughter was.
"Mum, I don't........ know what happened"Camilla cried,
"Your covered in blood?"Mrs Daniels exclaimed.
"You need to come with us ma'am, both of you"The police man said,
"Why should we?, My daughter is in shock right now and you want us to follow you to the station?, You should be out there looking for the real criminal who murdered my husband" Mrs Daniels replied.
"It's very important you come with us to find out who did this"The man answered her.
"Give us a few minutes"Mrs Daniels replied.
After a few minutes, they were off with the police.

************************************

"You murdered your own father!!!, You're really possessed"Camilla's mum shouted at her.
"No, I didn't, you don't understand"Camilla sobbed,
"Understand?, Why would you say such bad things about your own father?, you're not my daughter!, you're not my daughter!!"Mrs Daniels said,
"I'm not going to live with a murderer, get your things now!!"She added.
They both got on the road some minutes later. Camilla was scared; no one believed her not even her own mother. She didn't know where they were going. She didn't know what happened next; all she felt was the whole world crumbling.
Glasses flew around her and then she looked over at her mum. She realized they were upside down and blood was dripping down her mum's head. Blood was also dripping down her  head.
"Mom????"She shouted,
"Mommy???"She shouted again without any response.

She couldn't remember anything again all she last saw was her mum and then everything went blurry and that was the last thing she remembered.
