"They're coming". . ."help me!". . ."stop! Stay away!"
The voices continued to speak growing louder as they continued to voice their problems. One voice was clearer and stood out to the girl. It was a voice full of fear and dread. The voice was feminine and very high pitched so when it would cry out it caused the girl to flinch. She wanted the noise to stop, she wanted peace and quiet, for she could not take it any longer. Covering her ears with her hands she hoped it would help, but it did nothing. The voices continued on.
"Please! Please don't do this!". . . "No! Stop!"
The little girls eyes widen as the voice now let out a terrible streak, which rang throughout her head. This caused her to let out a scream of her own as she fell to her knees, tears falling from her eyes. People stared, judgement in their eyes as they watched the small girl. Parents pulled their children close to them as they murmured. Their words cutting right through the girl. The voices which rang in her head now being replaced by the voices outside. 'How could people be so cruel' the girl wondered 'why can't they help me? Ask if I'm okay?'
"Freak". . ."no wonder she doesn't have a mother". . ."who would want a child who freaks out for no reason"
The girl pulled her knees to her chest, her screams having died down awhile ago, but the tears still continued to fall. She was only five, yet she was already alone, already being judged. She had no one, no mother, no father and no friends.
