My dad comes into my room. Eyes like fire!

I look at his hand and see the belt. The one that struck me oh so many times.

The fear the swells inside me prevents me from being able to speak. I try to cower away into the corner.

He advanced towards me with the belt and lashes it at me. "No! Please don't!" I scream as my face starts to welt with red, he strikes me again, "this is so you'll never forget to disobey your father!"

Just as he is about to strike me again a white figure stands in front of me with big white wings and protects me from the strong blow.

My mouth drops in awe, my dad can not see the figure, only I can.

My dads face turns to confusion he takes the belt and leaves me alone.

The figure is gone, the only thing left is the painful stings on my face and arm from the belt.

I continue to sob big heaves into my pillow. I eventually fall asleep, and that's when the dreams began.
