Trigger Warning- child abuse and kidnap

Dads are meant to protect you, keep you safe from harm. Not harm you. YNs mother died in child birth, leaving her father to resent her. She became his punching bag. All through the her young life she never had a proper meal or any love.
Now at the age of 8 YNs father, Billy Kimber, is going to see the Shelby brothers about fixing horse races.

Billy Kimber walks through the doors of the Garrison a gun in his holster
"Is there any man here named Shelby?" It's quiet for a moment then he pulls out a gun and shoots it in the air making everyone around jump "I said is there any man here named Shelby?" Thomas (Tommy) Shelby walks out of the snug. His brothers following behind him
"Harry get these men a drink. Everyone else go home. Grace go home" Tommy says as to the barmaid as she walks over to the table Tommy and the others just sat at with drinks
"But Mr Fenton said..."
"I said go home"
"I've never approved of woman in pubs, but when they look like that..." Kimber watches Grace walk off, YN stood next to the man looking down not daring to look at the men in front of her
"I don't think kids should be in pubs, but here we are" Arthur grits between his teeth
"You said you wanted a man called Shelby. You've got 3 of them"
"Right, I'd never heard of ya then I did hear of ya, some little Didicoy razor gang" YN shifts uncomfortably "I thought to myself, so what? but then you fucked me over so now you have my undivided attention. By the way which one and I talking to, who's the boss?" 
"Well I'm the oldest" Arthur replies
"Ha clearly"
"Are you laughing at my brother?" John asks with a tooth pick in his mouth
"Right he's the oldest, your the thickness. I'm told the boss is called Tommy and I'm guessing that's you 'cause your looking me up and down like I'm a fucking tart"
"Which one am I talking to? Which one of you is the boss?"
"Well I'm Mr Kimber's adviser and accountant" Kimber then stand up
"And I'm the fucking boss" he shouts making YN flinch.
Finally the meeting is over and YN leaves with her dad. He takes her home but then leave her in the house alone while he goes off to fuck some poor woman who has no idea what he's capable of, or maybe they do. Not before he beat her, leaving a red hand print on her face. YN takes herself upstairs. A noise startles the young girl and a bag is placed over her head.

"You fucking idiot. I told you to take her not suffocate her" YN hears the ruff voice of the man her dad was speaking to earlier. The bag is ripped off her head
"Bloody hell Tommy" Arthur breathes out seeing the mark on YNs face
"Did you fucking hit a child?" Tommy yells at the man that took the child from her home
"What? No I.."
"Who did this?" Tommy once again tells
"My..my dad sir"
"Fuck. Arthur take YN to Polly. John and I are going to pay a visit to our friend"

While at Polly's Arthur quickly became very attentive to the little 8 year old
"I'm not much of a chief, but err I can make a sandwich. You hungry?" YN nods her head
"You can have a slice of cake as well love" Polly smiles warmly at YN
"Cake? I've never had cake before"
"Well then scrap the sandwich, Aunt Polly's cake is the best in all of Small Heath" Arthur places a huge slice of cake in front of YN who stares at it, scared she won't like the taste
"What's that?" She asks pointing to the jam and cream filling
"That YN is Polly's homemade strawberry jam and cream. You'll love it. Give it a try" YN nervously picks up the cake and takes a bite. The flavours dancing on her tongue
"This is delicious. Thank you"

That evening, Esme comes over with some of the kids old clothes and helps bathe her and put her to bed. She finds the Shelby family in the living room of the small house at Small Heath
"That girl has got one hell of a road ahead of her. She's littered with scars, looks like belt marks"
"Shit" Arthur draws out a breath "poor girl"
"Right well I'll ring up an orphanage tomorrow..."
"Tommy she can't go to an orphanage" Polly says looking at her nephew
"I'll look after"
"Arthur you can barley look after yourself. Your in no fit state to look after a child" Tommy scolds his brother
"Let him try Tom, it might be good for Arthur"

And good it was. Since that day Arthur stopped drinking, didn't take any drugs. He was a father figure to YN. Cared for her and provided for her. Even stopped messing around with women before he found a woman who welcomed YN with open arm. The finally had a family, that's all YN ever wanted.
