A NEW LIFE

The past (19)

(y/n) was walking around the forest with her beloved mother. She was the fallen angel. But, of course she didn't know. Because little (y/n) here, was only 8 years old.

Back to the story, (y/n) was happily humming a song that her mother normally sung to her when it's bed time, while her mother was making flower crowns. They lived a poor life.

Sometimes, little (y/n) would ask her mother where was his father like a normal child would do. She could see her mother's beautiful smile quickly turns into a frown. She would always awnser,

"Father went to work,dear."

Or

"He has important things to do."

(Y/n),though, she didn't protest or ask another question knowing that she will never see her father. What's the point anyways? She never know how his father looked like. All she could remember was a blurry image.

When it was school time, she will always wear a frown, because the other kids in school will bully her. She never liked school as it reminds her the pain or agony about her family. Most of the people will mock her, push her and even reject her. She never understand why.

Was she a freak?

She would always come home late with bruises and blood everywhere. Her mother will cry and hug her, telling her to be strong no matter how hard it is to bear. Her mother's warm hug and smile will cure anything. She was everything (y/n) has.

Her only light in the dark

Whenever they would walk in the village, people would give them weird and disgusted look because of thier appearrances. Since they only have some money to buy little amount of foods, they never thought of buying any new clothes.

(Y/n) mother's told her to sit near the tree. As an obidient girl she was, she followed her orders and sat under the shady tree picking up random rocks and throw them near the lake. Later then, she was bored and couldn't wait anymore due to her eagerness, she stood up and walk. Some kids around the village will laugh at her but she didn't seem to mind at all.

Suddenly she heard a voice behind a shack. Curious, she walk near it and started to eavesdrop. A man and a woman. She could recognize the woman's voice, it was her mother!
Since she was small, and from the angle she was hiding, she couldn't see the man's face because her mother was blocking her view. She sigh, not loud for them to hear, she kept staying still to make out the words they were saying.

"I told you countless of time already! I am not doing that again!" Her mother said. She sounded mad. Her mother never show this side of her.

The man stood still, "Aww,come on, I'll pay you double the price"

"No, no matter how much you pay me for doing it. I am not accepting your dirty crap!" (Y/n)'s mother spatted and tried to walk away but the man hold her arm. " let go of me, you bastard!" She pulled her arm, but nothing seems to make him let go.

(Y/n) was scared, seeing this. She silently pray her mother will be allright.

Unfortunately, the man pushed her mother to the ground pinning both of her hands above her head. The man loosen his tie and smirked. "We're going to have so much fun!"

Before he could do anything to her, a medium sized rock was thrown to his head,cacthing the man's attention. The man moaned in pain as he rubs his head. He took out his pocket knife and threaten (y/n)'s mother from running away. All she could do was follow his order from risking her life. All she could think was (y/n). Who will protect her from now on if she died?

"A'ight you cunt!" The man yelled "show yourself!" He motion his knife, scanning the area. Suddenly a young girl came out from a shack. It was (y/n). The man, however, grinned, seeing her. He lick his lips and hides his knife.

"Come here, girl, want a lollipop?" The man gestured. Little (y/n) stood there, motionless as she glared at the man.

"Leave her alone, you sick bastard!" (Y/n) hides her stuttering pretty well. Her mother was shock.

"(Y/n)! Get out of here!" Her mother shouted. (Y/n) didn't want to leave her mother. She took a step back and trying her best to find something to defend her. All she could fine was a crowbar. She holds it and treathen the man to step away from her mother. The man didn't listen and walk towards her. (Y/n) was afraid as a sweat dropped from her face. She gulped as her small hands grip hard at the crowbar

The man yanked up her hair and (y/n) cried in pain, begging him to stop. (Y/n)'s mother ran up to the man and kept punching him or pushimg him away to release her poor daughter. Tears form in (y/n)'s eyes as she saw her mother helplessly beaten up by the man.

He threw (y/n) on the ground and went back to beat up her mother. He grinned. Suddenly, (y/n) had this wierd feeling in her chest area. It seems like it was anger. She bit the man's hand making him groaned and slap her. She fell back but her mother catch her, hugging her.

The man stood infront both of them, grinning at his victory. He lick his lips again. He slowly unbuckle his belt.
"Looks like I have a new toy." He taunted. (Y/n) closed her eyes, afraid of what's going to happen next.
Suddenly a loud thud can be heard.

She could feel the man's presence no longer a threat as she opens her eyes. Infront of her was a the man laying on the red liquid. (Y/n) suddenly faints and the last thing she heard was another man's voice.

"help us.." she said before she was unconcious.
