Episode one
” Come here you stupid girl! ” my uncle says grabbing me by the hair and dragging me out of my room. ” So you had the guts to and tell our little secret huh? Now I’ll teach you a lesson you wont forget!”
He kicks my little sisters Maya, bedroom door open and pushes me roughly to the ground. Maya wakes up startled not sure what was happening. She tries running to me but he stops her by pushing her back on the b ed.
” Am sorry, I didn’t mean to please forgive me, ” I kneel in front of him crying but he pushes me back to the ground.
” Shut up! Why are you even crying anyway, this is all your fault for not keeping your mouth shut, ” he bends over to Maya tearing her sleeping gown open with only one pull.
Maya is crying trying to get away from him, calling out my name. I stand there frozen as my mind registered what is about to happen.
” What are you doing? Please don’t hurt her. I’ll do whatever you want me to, just don’t hurt her. ”
” Don’t act like you have a choice, I know you are going to do whatever I want either way. You thought i was playing right? Let’s see how you like this. “He grabs Mayas pa nty and throws it to the floor.
He takes off his trouser looking at me, an evil smirk on his lips.
” You deserve to suffer you little $lut. ”
” Stop for a minute please, you can’t do this to her, she’s just a child, ” I beg my voice desperate and pleading ,but my cries go unheard.
” You think I care?! Now shut up and watch the show. ”
” Please uncle. ”
” I said shut up! ”
My mind races trying to find a way to make him stop what he’s doing. I have to think fast before this ba$tard rappes my sister.
” My Dads gun! ” I think to myself as i rush to my room and grab it from the top drawer. When I rush back in, my uncle is trying to bend her over but she’s resisting.
” Stop or I’ll bl ow your brains out! ” I say pointing the gu n at him while he looks at me shocked. ” And don’t you even think for a second that I don’t know how to use this thing. ”
He let’s my sister go and she runs to me scared.
” Now look who’s scared, you sorry excuse of a man. You were about to rappe your own brothers daughter! ”
” You know you don’t have the balls to pull the trigger ,give me the gun violet, ” he says slowly walking over to us.
” Don’t you dare take another step Peter,” I yell and he stops. ” killing you would give me the satisfaction that i have been craving for, I wouldn’t even think twice,” I say smiling bitterly as a tear falls from my face.
” Am scared vee, please lets go ,” Maya sobs holding on to me tight.
I can feel her shiver with fear and i hate myself for making her go through this. I was taking all his bullsht for her and there was no way i was letting him hurt her.
” Move back, ” i yell as i walk opposite him, taking my sisters bag and handing her clothes to wear.
After Maya gets dressed, we run out of the room and I make a quick stop to my room and grab some money i had saved up. I have no idea where we are going, but leaving this place is more important right now.
As we get out of my room, Peter jumps out of nowhere, trying to grab my sister but I act fast and shoot him on the knee without a second thought.
He falls back groaning in pain and we ran out of the house without looking back.

My mum got married to George stone, when I was only five and four years later Maya was born. George was a music producer with his own Studio which was famous all over town.
When I was ten George discovered i could sing and promised to help me with my music career as soon as i was done with highschool. He never made me feel like i was not his real daughter, not even once.
I felt pretty lucky but my luck run out two years ago when my parents had a car accident and lost their lives on the spot. I can never forget that fateful day, when Peter gave us the h©rrific news. I was only 14 when it happened.
Dad was an excellent driver and its not like they got hit by another car and so their death remains a mystery to me. I felt my world had collapsed but had no idea that what was coming would be much worse.
Peter was a good guy for as long as i had known him or atleast that’s what I thought. He was Dads younger brother and also worked with him at the studio.Since we were still young, He took over the studio and all of Dads property until i was of legal age.
Peter changed drastically after he got hold of Dads wealth,and started treating us like trash. He started drinking and neglecting the company. He would also starve us for days for no reason but everything got worse a year ago.
He came into my room one dreadful Sunday, apparently to tuck me in. I told him that i was no baby and didn’t need tucking in and asked him to leave but he smiled wickedly and walked over pulling the covers from me .
He climbed on top off me and i screamed trying my best to push him off but he was obviously to strong for me. He covered my mouth and told me if I didn’t comply, he would go and have fun with my sister.I cried and begged him not to, but he gave me a tight slap, which left me speechless. There was no way i was going to let him hurt my sister and so I let him have his way.
I was a vrgin and the pain i felt was unexplainable.With no will to Scream or beg, I just layed there silent tears falling from my eyes. The worst part was that it was only the beginning. He kept on coming back from time to time with the same threat as always.
Today a year later , I decided to tell Mr Paul who was one of Dads close friends, with hope that he was going to help me out. He had already agreed to help me find some evidence that would put Peter behind bars and free my sister and i from this nightmare.
I still don’t know how Peter found out about it but there are only two logical explanations, either Paul confronted him about it or they are in this together, and most likely it’s the second one.
I wouldn’t be surprised because this world is filled with greedy and money thirsty people from side to side. I guess it’s what they say, survival for the fittest .
