It's just the beginning

Chapter one

I can't believe this is happening to me, I'm still crying from last night and by remembering it makes want to cry all over again.

My name is Charlotte Topaz. I live in a small town. I hate living here because everyone knows who you are, and who is your family.What happened in your life.

I'm 16 and I live with my foster grandmother; when I was born my mom gave me away. The hospital took me to an adoption center. When I was one they adopted me. When I was five my foster dad died. It was one of my dreadful days. My mom started to grieve and she would often lock herself to her room and forget about me. One time when she had locked herself in her room, I heard a thump. I was scared and called the police,and they found my foster mom dead. That day she had hanged herself.

The police took me to the police station.They asked if I had any family and I said "No". They started calling all of the relatives of my foster parents,and they didn't want me because I wasn't related to them. When the cops called Marise my mother's, mom she accepted me.

When they took me there it was scary. There was crucifixes in every room. My foster grandma was nice to the officer and when he left she looked at me with despair."Now that they're gone, you're going to listen to what I say".she said. The way she said it was scary.I've never met such a cold-hearted person . I did what she said.

Each Sunday we will go to church,my grandma was talking to the priest. I saw a boy who looked a year older than me. He had long raven hair with grayish eyes. When he caught me staring at him he waved to come. I looked to see who he was waving to,and he was waving to me. I went and he asked "you want to play?". The last time I had played was when I lived with my foster parents,and I said "yes". We were making a tower out of his cars, and since I was a girl and he was a boy. He didn't own any girl toys. While we were playing I felt someone behind me. The next thing I knew, my grandma was pulling me and hurting my arm. "What did I say about talking to strangers?". "But he said he wanted to play". "You will never speak to him again,and for that I will teach you a lesson to never disobey me", she said.I started to get goosebumps. She went upstairs and got a paddle. She started to hit me and I began to cry. It felt painful and I pleaded her to stop. She didn't care, and she kept on going. Then I saw darkness and I blacked out. I woke up with pain all over my body,I and blood all over by shirt. On my arms and legs I had bruises.

When I looked around it was dark; I looked up and saw light. Then suddenly I felt something crawling in my leg. I screamed and saw it was a rat. I think hours just passed;suddenly I heard footsteps and I saw someone coming down the stairs. "I'm sorry Charlotte, but you made me do this. Here, I brought you milk with cookies". I couldn't believe what she said, like nothing had happened. I couldn't believe she could have done this to me.

The years passed and it was the same, she would always beat me for doing something wrong in her opinion. I couldn't fight back because she always threatened me to take me back to the orphanage,so I didn't have the guts to do anything back to her. My teachers would always ask why I had bruises on my arm and I would always say I fell from climbing a tree.

Years has passed now that I am 16 years old she still hasn't changed. Until one day my grandma beated me too hard I fainted. When I woke up I was connected with weird tubes in my body,I was to terrified that I started to freak out. Then a strange woman who looked like a nurse came to me. I asked her. "Where am I?". "You are in a clinic,we're going to transfer you to a hospital". She said. I was thinking to myself, who brought me here?How did I get here??.

Then I remembered that when my grandma let me out of the attic, I couldn't take it any longer. So I left the house running and I ran into a guy who looked familiar."Are you okay?". He said. "Help me". I pleaded. Then that's when I blacked out, I guess he brought me here.

"The boy you were with brought you here,don't worry you will be fine". Said the nurse. In my head I knew I wasn't okay, the only way I will be okay is when she is dead. I know that is bad to be wishing of revenge. I wonder what my grandma is doing, thinking of that she already got rid of me.
