The Ruthless One

Episode 20

“I can’t wait to see the dolphins.” Ellas said jumping up and down, the next dolphin show started in 20 minutes and right now Ella, Mila and i are all waiting in line for the show to start.

“Have your own dolphin.” We heard a man say and Ellas eyes automatically turned his way.

“Daddyyy.” Ella said in a plead.

“Let’s go.” I said and we all started moving towards the man.

“She has you wrapped around her little finger.” Mila said laughing.

“You can have your own dolphin, you get to name him or her and get a certificate on your ownership for only a small amount a month and with that money the dolphin will be free at sea and we will look after it’s health and make sure they have food.” The man said in a recited way.

“Where do I put my card details.” I said at the man and he smiled even more than he had been before.

As soon as everything had been sorted it was time to name the dolphin.

“So what will you name your new friend.”

“Ariel.” Ella said happily after thinking for a bit.

“Alright Ariel it is.” The man said and gave us the certificate and a picture of the dolphin.

The dolphin show was entertain able, Ella and Mila enjoyed it and Ella sat on Mila’s lap the whole time even though her seat was just right next to her.

After the dolphin show and getting round the zoo checking out all the other animals we decided to go home but of course not before going to the gift shop to one buy a bunch of mini figures of all the animals and two to print out the picture we took with the parrots.

“I love the zoo.” Ella said smiling.

“I love the zoo too.” Mila and then Ella started talking about all her favourite animals.

Soon we were at the apartment and Ella was extremely sleepy, she was suppose to get a bath but she ended up falling asleep so I decided to let her be and that she would have one in the morning.

“Mila.” I said remembering that I had been meaning to ask her something.

“Yes.” She said.

“There was something that I really wanted to ask you but never got round to doing it.” I said and she looked at me confused and hesitant.

“Remember when we got the pen drive back and you fell asleep of the ride back.” I continued.

“Huh?” She said.

“You started crying and shaking repeating ‘stop father and it’s not my fault’ you don’t have to tell me but the safety of my gang members is important to me and you are part of the gang.” I said and saw tears filling her eyes but she soon blinked them away.

“I will tell you.” She said so lowly I almost didn’t hear her say it. She took a deep breath then continued.

“My mum left for her young boyfriend and after she did my father took up drinking to what was most likely to forget her.” Hurt flashed in Mila’s eyes but she didn’t stop.

“When he drank she would turn abusive, he would beat Jacob and I but mostly me as I tried to take all of Jacobs beating, when he was mad at Jacob I would piss him off more so he would hit me instead, sometimes however I would be so beaten up I couldn’t move and he would beat Jacob.” A lone tear escaped her eye but she quickly wiped it away.

“Sometimes when he was extremely drunk he would scream at me as if I was my mother and beat me over and over so I guess that would explain me saying that ‘it’s not my fault’.” She finished and when she finished I pulled her into to me for a hug.

When I first met this girl I hated her with every single bone in my body but hearing what she’s been through breaks my heart, she is so freaking strong to to through that, I started feeling she shirt get wet and I heard her let out little sobs and I realised she was crying so I slowly rubbed her back and whispered calming words into her ears and her breathing started calming and when I looked at her eyes I realised they were closed and that she had fallen asleep.

I picked her up and laid her down on my bed covering her with a blanket and then making my way to the bathroom to take a shower as showers help me relax and that’s what I need right now to now go find her bastard excuse of a father and kill him slowly and painfully.
