Empty

Betrayed

The streets had become so deserted , the night also showed a great deal of loneliness.

Ella tip toed till she found an uncompleted building where she could lay her head for the night.

For the first time in her life, she was no longer thinking about her tenth birthday coming up the day after tomorrow. All what she thought of was her life after the night.

She strolled into the building and gathered blocks where she could lay her head on.

The darkness of the night thickened as the Gas Station close to her had put off their light. She was about to sleep when she felt a grip on her shoulder. Leave me alone! she kept shouting leave me alone till the hands on her shoulder pushed some substance into her mouth.

About an hour later, Ella woke up from her slumber. She felt so dizzy she began to gasp for air. Please where am I? You are in your Father's house a familiar voice spoke to her. She turned to see who kidn*pped her, but was met with the shock of her life. Jameel ? yes it's me Ella.

The world out there isn't safe for you. Stay with Daddy. Was that why you had to d**g me to this place? Am sorry but this is the best option for now.
