suffer in silence

Chapter 1 Orphange

A foggy dark ink cloud spread across the street like a blanket of black smoke, turning a tall building dusty grey. Yet, on the fourth floor, there were orphans busy cleaning up their bedrooms. Presently, there are 17 girls taken in from the street by Miss Clark, head of the orphanage. The girls all got along well, except for one who was mute and whose name was Sky. She only used sign language with her friend Devine Smith, who always protected Sky, even at the cost of her own well-being. However, in the absence of Devine's presence, the bullying from the rest of her inmates continued, which she could not fathom their unkindness towards her. It was a quiet Saturday morning, and Sky sat in the cove of a stained glass window, brightly emulating the colors of blue and grey rays from the sun.

She loves to read romantic novels while wishing she could find someone with the same inate traits as herself. Her face was filled with delight as she flipped through the pages eagerly. The door was thrown open to reveal Ash, one of the bullies at the orphanage who liked to pick on Sky whenever the opportunity arose, just to make her life even worse. Sky looked at her but didn't pay her any attention, but returned to focussing on her book. Sky inwardly pondered on how different it was for some women to find true love with a man that was deliciously handsome, very intelligent and wise. Suddenly, the book was snatched from my hand by Ash as she smirked with an evil grin, plotting what she would do next.

Ash Ash

"Why are you reading this rubbish? your ugly. It will never happen to you. No one would ever find a mute woman beautiful. You are in a dream world. I'm not surprised your parents left you here. Maybe they got wind of how much of a hoe you are and decided to put you up for adoption. If you were my daughter, I would have beaten you up and left you to die.

Ash stared at her with a sharp look, which didn't go unnoticed, so Ash started to kick her foot into Sky's ankle, as she heard something crack that made a smile come on Ash's face, which pissed Sky off, not realising her intention to inflict damage, which resulted in the glass window being cracked. She proceeded to punch and kick Sky's body as she now fell with a massive thump to the ground.

Ash looked at her with satisfaction as she took the book, ripping it in half as she left the room. Sky lay there as a cold piece of meat, leaving unwanted ridicule for everyone around her. That made it even worse.

She woke up trying to get up from the painful beat down that Ash had inflicted upon her the day before. Every time she moved, her bruised body throbbed. Just then, the door swag opened to see her friend. She ran over to her, helping her up from the floor, laying down on the bed, unbuttoning her top to see all the bruises that Ash left on her body. That made her really angry that she was going to get her back for this, leaving the room to grab some hot water with a towel for Sky's wounds only to hear Ash was bragging about how she taught Sky a lesson, which she couldn't concentrate on right now. Her friend came first, walking through the bedroom door.

Sky lay on the bed defenseless, making her heart shatter into pieces with hopelessness. She panicked like a fly that was caught in a spider web looking at her. It felt like she became numb with a painful memory on her face every time she got beaten up by them. The designer was annoyed and angry that she couldn't help her at all when the door opened to see

Miss Clack She looked like she was in one of her nottoiose moods again. She slowly walked towards you with a stiff expression that you had to move away from. She looked down, seeing Sky on the bed.

Miss Clark:

What happened to Sky? Miss Smith, who did this to her

Destiny told her everything. She looked like her face was about to explore. Though it was kept by the soft expression she announced to her.
