Elizah's Life Story

Senorita Elizabeth

   Elizah cried every night. Where are you, Lozita. She'd hopelessly wonder. She hated the life she's living. She'd write all of her sadness and the words she was never able to say to Maxce in a book, which Lozita gave her. She wrote every single detail that happened in her life and made sure to keep it away from Maxce's sight.

   There were times when Elizah felt hopeless and useless. There was nothing she was able to do. She thought of escaping, but then, where'd she go? She thought of telling the people out there about Maxce's and her partner's cruel deeds, but then again, who'd believe a fifteen year old girl over a thirty five year old woman, who was also the daughter of the orphange's owner?

   Besides, if she just tried hoping that someone might at least give a hint in believing her, she was going to have a horrible punishment from Maxce. So she stayed as she was. She didn't want the other kids to suffer because of her 'might fail' plans.

   Including all the rough work she dealt with, which were so hard to the level that she was getting physically sick, there was this problem that was the hardest. Which was; she didn't want to give up no matter how hard it was. She was going to find a way out. She always remembered dear Lozita's words, who always believed in the young girl. And one thing she was still trying to convince her inner self that she'd solve this question was: How, under all the pressure, she'd be able to find a way out?

   She couldn't figure out, no matter how many of fictional thoughts she cracked her brain; there was just no way out.

   But one thing she was sure about was; she may not make her dreams come true, she may not be what she wanted to, she may not be able to think of something to get her and the children out of this mess, but she'd never give up.

   One day, a woman known as Senorita Elizabeth, came to visit the orphanages that were in the small village of Condela Kingdom. She was the richest, after the royalists, with the kindest heart in the kingdom. From the place she came from, just five hours away from the village, she was known as the mother of the orphans. She visited every orphanage, though there wasn't much, in the whole kingdom and made sure to bring presents that brightened the young children's faces. And now she was in the small village for another visit tour.

   When Maxce heard about her arrival, she threatened Elizah, though there was no need, to arrange the whole place perfectly. She unwillingly bought new clothes for some of the children and put some new flowers, and made the flowers that laid deadly on their bowls look heavenly good for her reputation.

   Elizah was confused by the sudden change of bad behavior into good ones of Maxce's - if not to her, at least to the place and the children. But she shrugged it off and did as what she was ordered.

   The next day, about 12 p.m., there was a ring at the orphanage gates.

   "Go to your room, and never come down unless I tell you to." Maxce scowled at Elizah, as the young girl obediently paced to her small room.

   When Maxce saw that she was gone, she immediately ran to the door and opened it to see a beautiful and elegant woman with some servants standing behind her. She made a confused face as in to show not knowing who the woman is.

   In Condela's village, there wasn't those newspapers or posters that showed pictures of famous people. There were only paintings, which were very expensive, and radios that spoke about news feed.

   "How can I help you, ma'am?" Maxce asked.

   "I'm Senorita Elizabeth, and I am here to-" Senorita Elizabeth's short introductory was cut off by Maxce's surprised face.
