My Bloody Revenge

12 years old

"How is my little girl doing?"

"Doing good, sir. The tutor introduced me to Latin today."

"Did you like it?"

"It was very difficult. Why do I need learn Latin, sir?"

She looked up the man who frequently visited her ever since that dinner when she was ten.

"We can skip that part little one since I know how well you do on your other subjects."

His warm big hand gently pats her head. He looks down at her with a smile on his chapped lips. As always she sits in his lap which seems to make him smile even more.

"Is everyone treating you well?" 

"Yes. Thank you for always helping me, sir." 

"Enough with the formalities just call me Elmir." he leaned down kissing her head softly. "I will always help you."

Happy about finally having someone who cared she leaned in close and hugged him tightly. His hugs was always warm and felt safe. He was both her parents in one person. They stopped with the physical abuse and chain her in the basement but their words hurt like a whip. 

"I like your hugs."

"Good to hear cause I like your hugs too." he answers holding her tighter.

"When will you be back next time?" 

"Work is busy now so I won't be back until three months. Be a good girl until then."

"I will Elmir."she said with a big smile wanting him to be proud.

"That's my girl. Now give me a kiss and a big hug before I leave"

She kissed his cheek and gave him a tight squeeze when hugging not really wanting him to leave. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and stood up, placed her on the floor and waved.

"Hello Mr Neserov, mom and dad are waiting for you in the office." Jenny said walking in.

"Jenny." Elmir said curtly.

Elmir winked at Lyra and walked out leaving her alone with Jenny. The last person she wishes to be alone with but knew she wouldn't dare do anything with him in the house.

"So, how is my little sister doing?" 

"Good."

"Of course you are." she mutters and closes the door. 

Hearing alarm bells go off in her head she tries to walk past Jenny and out the door but is harshly grabbed by the arm. 

"Listen to me you little whore, just because you're sleeping with him doesn't mean your worth anything. The moment he's done with you I'll be the first to laugh."

"I'm not sleeping with him." 

"Mom says he's paying to be with you and whores gets paid to be with men." she taunts venomously. 

Lyra stops struggling and looks into Jennys cerulean blue eyes with the same cold,hateful, stare as the rest of the family. She knows her so called sister takes every opportunity to be mean and say things to hurt. This one hit home with a loud bang.

Yanking her whole arm harshly Jenny loses her grip from the sudden movement and Lyra is free. Quickly she rushes out and towards the office where she knows Elmir and her parents are. Without knocking she steps inside. Tears in her eyes.

"Come here." Elmir says opening his arms. "Why are you crying?"

"Jenny called me a whore and said I was sleeping with you, that whores also got paid to be with men and you pay to be with me and when done with me she'll be the first to laugh." 

Words kept on rushing out like a volcano and she hated herself for not being able to control herself.

"Why does Jenny run her mouth about things she doesn't understand?" Elmirs voice was hard with a certain edge to it as he addressed her parents.

"Go get Jenny honey." Mike said.

Tiana left and came back shortly after with a confused Jenny in tow.

"So you like to run your mouth." Elmir said looking straight at Jenny.

Without any further words Elmir stood to his full height and gently placed her in his seat before turning and slapping Jenny hard. He grabbed her by the hair holding firmly before hitting her in the stomach with closed fist. Letting go Lyra watched Jenny fall to the floor gasping for air.
