Not A Stranger to Pain

Chapter 1

" Chara come here" shouted Abigail this was the second time she was shouting. That girl who does she think she is ?she questioned herself. She was so furious she had numerous things to do than to take care of that good for nothing four year old. "Charalambia "she called out in her famous condescending voice  that girl had  better hurry or else she won't like what I have in store for her today she smiled menacingly.

Chara whose full name was rather a mouthful knew that trouble was brewing just like thunder heralds the impending doom to come Abigail's voice told it all .

So she hurriedly ran to where she was being called  though frightened she knew not to tarry or else there would be hell on earth in store for her.

The Bonny girl announced her presence to the lady 'I am here' she said the shaking girl spoke, she was shaking like a leaf uprooted from a tree branch.

Abigail was happy that Chara had learnt her lesson of making her wait  she was now a very punctual girl she thought as she served her a questionable sandwich made with whole wheat bread.

The little girl had never seen such a peculiar thing in her whole existence than that. "I have never eaten that" she thought to herself but did not have enough courage to voice that out  in-front of the horrid treacherous daylight boogeyman.

So she obediently took her food and ate heartily for hunger was about to consume her from within. A few minutes later she was vomiting the little that her tiny being could have held, as if that was not enough she soiled herself as well "oh what a sight."

At the sight of this Abigail fumed she was beyond angry because this loathe-some girl had given her more work. She  washed the little girl whilst dishing out blows that were meant for an adult. Chara screamed but no one came to her rescue , her sickly being grew wearisome until not even a sound could be heard from her. 

When  Abigail was satisfied with her actions she hurriedly dressed the child and put her to sleep. She would tell the girl's father that his girl was sick. She doubted he would really check on her he would just give her a peck on the cheek as usual and go to sleep.

He passionately loved his daughter but on late nights like these ones he just wanted to rest ,he would be so tired from work.

She had assured him that she had gone to the pharmacy and they had given her medication for the babe so he felt at ease with that reassurance, she was once a nurse after all, who would be better at taking care of his princess than her.

She also felt at ease knowing that she had no need to worry about the mother as she was at college and staying there too. No one would know of what she done, for she had instilled fear into the child's born marrow.
