The morning sun peeks through the curtains of the blonde toddlers room, causing her to stir in her restless sleep.

The noise of the party the night before along with her unchanged bottom and lack of food made it almost impossible for her to fall asleep, her crib was a hand me down from her sister who had been upgraded to a big bed, yet the previous mattress for said crib had been taken away and replaced with a flimsy mat allowing no comfort for the child.

The blankets provided when she first slept in the crib at just 1 years old had long been taken by her sister, leaving her with nothing to keep her warm on the winter nights except the old worn out clothes on her back.

As her eyes open revealing her beautiful blue orbs, she sits up and looks around her room, patiently waiting for someone to come and get her out because she cannot do it herself yet.

Almost 2 hours later, her white wooden door creaks open revealing a man she had yet to meet.

Despite her wariness of the stranger she decides he is her best hope to get her bottom to stop hurting and maybe get her a bottle of milk to ease her hunger.

She lifts her arms up towards him invitingly allowing him to scoop her into his arms and carry her out of her room.

"what do we have here hm?" he asks laughing slightly as he walks them down the stairs and towards the kitchen where her father is sat with other men.

"didn't know you had another kid Paul? She's cute." He says taking a seat around the table and placing the girl onto his lap where she does everything she can to avoid her father's gaze.

"why do you have her?" her dad replies with a bored tone as he rubs a hand on his forehead.


Paul never wanted the girl, it was his wife that wanted another baby, and when they couldn't have another she got desperate.

He knew she was ill when she brought up snatching someone else's, but just like her Paul wanted a happy family, he loved his daughter Phoebe and thought it wouldn't be hard to love someone else's, but it was.

Not long after they stole the girl he grew bored very quickly.
He felt as though she was a chore and he no longer felt as though he would grow to love her if anything he resented her.

It began with neglect, not wanting to get the 1 year old out of her crib knowing once she was they would have to look after her so they just didn't, leaving her there until they couldn't any longer.

forgetting to change her nappy for hours if not days until the girl was screaming in pain from the painful rashes littering her thighs and bottom,

Digging their nails into the girls arm in frustration when she cried in the night searching for the comforting face of Taylor, until her memories faded and this new life became routine.

As she grew into a shy frigid toddler from the effects of the abuse, it only got worse.

The neglect became more severe and the abuse grew worse.

"Found her when i went for a piss."

"yeah well she isn't cute when she's being all needy." Paul replies nonchalantly as he grabs a cigarette from his pocket and lights it up.

"she doesn't look like you or Helen or Phoebe for that matter." The man states, bouncing the toddler on his knee noticing her tense body.

"shut up Stanley." Paul replies blowing out smoke and standing up, rounding the table and grabbing the girl by her arm, dragging her into the living room where his wife sat, playing dolls with there other child.

"Change her nappy she fucking stinks." he says tossing her towards his wife who rolls her eyes and huffs.

"No wonder she stinks! When will you learn to piss in the toilet you stupid girl." Helen shouts pinching the toddlers side in a harsh way earning a small sad whine from pain.

"s-sowwy."

"lay down." she finishes, standing up and grabbing a nappy and a wipe from the changing mat they have for Phoebe.

The woman undoes the girls baby grow and the Velcro's holding the nappy on, revealing her red rash legs and almost a day and a half of her body's natural doing.

"disgusting." the woman mutters changing it as quickly as she can, leaving her sores untended too, but the girl satisfied with her partly clean bottom.

"come." Her mommy mutters making the girl instantly trot her way to the bathroom following her mother.

Upon entering the room the toddler looks around confused why she was brought here, until she is lifted from the floor by her mom and onto a high counter she cannot get down from.

Her mom grabs a lighter from her back pocket of her jeans and lights it scaring Maddie as the girl silently cries knowing her mommy is going to hurt her.

"p-please mommy." she whimpers making the woman's face harden.

"Don't call me that." She snarls grabbing the girls skinny leg and dangling it off the counter and lighting the lighter again.

"Every time you go potty in your diaper i am going to do this okay? If you go in the toilet like a normal person i wont hurt you." She states like it is a normal thing before bringing the flame towards her daughter's leg causing her to immediately begin sobbing at the awful burning sensation.

"Ouch!" The girl screams reaching for her mother in hopes she will see the desperation in her eyes.

Finally the flame is lifted from her skin leaving a sore red patch in its place making the girl cry harder.

"i- i i s-sorry m-mommy me w-wont do it a-again." She cries pleading with her in her own little toddler way trying to understand in her 3 year old mind why her parents keep hurting her.

Her mom hearing this presses down on the burn mark on Madison's leg making her scream once again.

"stop calling me mom." She orders before walking out of the bathroom leaving the girl stuck on the counter, too small to get off herself and too scared to try.

Knowing the consequences of relieving herself in her diaper, the girl promises to never do it again, unfortunately her small brain isn't programmed to just decide that and soon enough her bladder is releasing itself without her consent wetting the cotton she sweared shed keep dry leaving the toddler distraught, crying and waiting for what comes next.
