Faded

Chapter 1

My names Annie Rich I am eleven and I live in London it is funny how my surname is Rich because it should be poor.... Annie Poor that’s what they all call me... I am dead now I’m in this place floating above our earth its nice up hear no one is mean to me and I can do what I like... Yet I am not in heaven…. I don’t actually know where I am.... It all happened over two years ago .....

"Morning sunshine “my mother said as she drew the blinds.

"Morning "I said with a yawn as I rubbed my eyes and got out of bed. I looked out my window into the damp misty streets of London I closed over my door as my mother walked out and I got dressed for school. I put on my long socks with my grey ripped shorts and my dirty marked white polo and my older brothers old shoes. My mother played with my golden hair that lay just under my shoulders and my ocean blue eyes dazzled .Our house is so small we only have two rooms, The kitchen/sitting room, Our room (My little sister, My big brother, My parents and I room) I grabbed my school book and kissed my mother goodbye as she came to the door to wave me off.

"Bye darling enjoy school “My mother called to me as she waved her hand.

"Bye love you" I called back while waving.

That was the last time I saw my family before my tragic death....

I was walking to school as the little abandoned dog followed me as always I gave him a sandwich from my lunch and gave him a little pat on the head and continued walking. I was just walking past Mr Burns house and across the field to school as a man screamed.

"HELP somebody please help" He cried I rushed over there to help and as I entered the woods there was no one there. I turned my head side to side... nothing no one in sight no noise to be heard I turned and headed back out the wood as a dark figure came behind me and covered my mouth. I screamed but I could not be heard he dragged me into a dark cave and pushed me against the wall.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING.....  HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs… He just laughed.

"No one can hear you stupid little girl" he said as he slapped me across the face.. I could not speak I just cried and hoped and cried and prayed. This seems to make him happy he just continued punching kicking and slapping me. I was covered in bruises I thought to myself this could not get any worse well... I was wrong...that was just when he pulled out a knife and pushed me to the ground and stabbed me again, again and again... I screamed but slowly just faded away like mist....
