Forgotten light

Chapter 1

     Most days Elizabeth sat alone in the corner of her room, hiding from the evil and cruel, fading out all sound and light. Other days, she would Rome in the woods contemplating her one demise. Abuse is one thing, but... You see, there's far more to Ellie's story.

When she was a small child her true parents left her on the curb because she was " Out of the ordinary" and "not good enough". Carl and Shay Barsalona took custody of Ellie and she hated thought of losing them too, so when Carl touched her or beat her she did not like it but had no choice. Elizabeth May Barsalona is now 14 and still struggling to conceive enough courage to leave and never return.

She fluttered her lashes then stood in aching pain then whispers to herself, "Why can't they just kill me". She walks down the crooked lose hinge stairs and toward the door when she hears Carl shout, " Where the fuck you going!? ", he says in his country slang. " N-no where papa..." She says trembling in fear. " Then get your ass out of here!!" He slurred then through a glass beer bottle about 7 inches from Ellie's head."Y-yes papa.." She runs back up the stairs her face soaked with tears as they continue to roll down her cheeks. She closes and locks the bedroom door behind her then slides open her window seal. "I Hate you!" She screams , then jumps Landing perfectly.
