ELA POV

I was enjoying my wonderful sleep when I felt something cold on my body I quickly jump up from my bed and shouted.

"Arrrrrrrgh!!!"

"You are very stupid, are you not suppose to be cleaning the house and washing those clothes, you are here sleeping like a fool" My wicked aunty said and gave me a hot slap on my face, tears was already on my face, rushing out.

I quickly ran away from the room to the kitchen to prepare her and her daughter's food, before I receive a knock this time around.

God why, why me, why am I suffering in the hands of my aunty and her daughter?

Am I gonna survive this? everyday one beaten or the other, different marks on my body.

Sometimes I don't eat the whole day, I only do one chores or the other, when are all these going to stop.

GOD WHEN, WHEN.

Another tears rushed out from my eyes again, I couldn't hold it again.

Mom, dad, why did you leave me to suffer in the hands of my aunty and her daughter, why, what made you die and leave me in this wicked world, why didn't you take me along instead of allowing me to suffer in this world.

Why did you leave me?

Mom why?

Dad why?

Can I continue like this, can I be able to stay with her in this way.

My Lord please send my destiny helper to locate me, cause I can't continue to live in hell like this, I believe this one is more than hell fire.

God please I need you now, I need you to help me in this condition.

I can't be suffering like this everyday of my life, I can't.

This journey of life is too hard, is too much for me, the load is too much for to me carry.

More tears continue flowing in my cheeks, I just want to leave here for good, but were will I go I can't continue to stay here like this.

Still in thought when I felt something hit me on my back.

When I turned, my aunty was with a cooking spoon.

She continued flogging me, she blocked the way so that I couldn't go out, blood were already gushing out from my back.

I yelled in pain cause the it was too much and painful for me to hold again.

"You fool, stupid thing, that's why your stupid parents died cause of your stupidity".

"I told you to go do your house chores, your here standing, you bastard, foolish thing" my aunty continue yelling at me why hitting me the spoon.

"Before I closed my eyes and open, you have gone to prepare food so that i and my daughter can eat, bastard child".

That word got me angry that I continue crying, I couldn't take it again.

Then I shouted at my aunty, "Is that not okay for you, you have beaten enough, insulted me enough then why calling me bastard".

"Me and your daughter who is a bastard, can't you go and show your daughter her father, you that gave birth to that fool out of wedlock, you are here insulting me can't you be at least good to me for once" out of anger I poured everything that came out from my mouth on her, then I realized what I said, immediately I received a hot slap on my cheeks, she started hitting me again.

"You have the mind to say that, did I look like a fool to you, are you the one providing food for yourself in this house, are you the one clothing yourself she yelled and continued hitting me".

Her statement made me gasped, "But aunt when last did you buy me clothes and give me food, is it not my best friend parents that have been clothing me and have been feeding me" Immediately I received another slap again.

"Now hurry to the kitchen and go prepare food that we are going to eat before I give you another round of beating again".

I quickly stand up and went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for those two fools to eat.

All of a sudden I received a hot slap from Sandra my aunt daughter, I hold my cheeks and tears rushed out from my cheeks.

"Are u insane, you bastard fool, how dare you, wake up now to prepare breakfast and again how dare you say those words to my mum you shameless thing".

Tears started falling from my cheeks,some one that I am older than, that is doing this to me, "Sandra you know am not your age mate, you join your mom in maltreating me"

"But I tell you for all these things you and you mom are doing to me, it shall never be well with you guys and one day your gonna go down on your knees and beg me, mark my words".

And I received another slap again from her, "You foolish thing, you said what, that am going to beg you, you bastard and those your dead shameless parents" she laughed dryly I was already in tears at the mention of my parents name.

"Me Sandra beg a nobody, a bastard, a poor dirty ugly thing like you, moi beg you, over my dead body will I do that so back to business" I was already weak with her statement, I turned my back to continue what I was doing when she called again.

"Hey am talking to you, before I come back you are done washing my clothes and cleaning this house and don't let this repeat itself, infact don't prepare any breakfast cause me and my mom is already going out no need to prepare anything" The word shocked me cause after beating cause of breakfast and now she is telling me not to prepare it again and i couldn't say anything.

"Hey am talking to you have I made my self clear"

"Yes, I said".

Her mom came down after Sandra left.

"We are a out and no need of making breakfast again".

"Don't dare put anything in your mouth untill we are back".

"Have I made my self clear".

"Yes aunt".

"Hey don't call me that am not your aunt she said and left".
