There are nights I laugh, but more often they are filled with tears. I can't understand why daddy always hits mommy, yells at her, curses her. Does mommy do things that are bad? Daddy often tells me I'm bad, and that I shouldn't have been born. I don't mean to be bad.
My daddy is Kaliden, he always stinks of that yellow stuff that tastes like pee-pee; he doesn't love me either. He yells at me a lot, I don't know if he's ever said a kind word to me. My mommy, Robyn, she says he loves me because I'm his daughter. That she and him made me out of love. Daddy just laughs at her, then he yells.
I hide in my room when it starts, curling up in a ball crying, trying to block out daddy's yells, and mommy's cries for help. When it gets too bad Scarlet will lead me away through out secret door, and takes me to Uncle Thorn's. He makes the tears go away, and promises not to let any harm come to me, he tells me he loves me. Unlike daddy. Daddy doesn't like Uncle Thorn either, so he must be bad too. But I don't think he means to be either. Though lately I've been thinking, what if I don't leave in time and daddy tires of hitting momma… Who will he come after next?
