It was a few weeks after that. I felt so weak because of all the abuse. I stretched and got up. I struggled to walk to the window and stared down. No one was there, apart from my bitcch of a sister who had definitely turned against me now. I really felt alone. But it was strange. Why would anyone leave us alone?

***

Time slowly dragged on. I watched my sister playing with Lexis in the garden. But Mother wasn't back with Harry yet. Hm ...  strange? 

I listened out. Hm ... strange? Nothing!. Is this my chance?

I walked over to my door and opened it a crack. Still nothing! I made my way out and quietly crept down to the cupboard where the phone was. I opened the door and went in.  Then I picked up the phone. Somehow I managed to type the number to Ottershead Orphanage. I let it ring out.

"Hello," came a nice woman's voice. "Ottershead Orphanage, Bera speaking."

I was trying to think on how to say what I wanted to say!

"Er ... Hello!" I said finally after two seconds. "I am Elisabeth Lillian Harrison!"

"What can we do for you, My darling?" Bera asked. 

I explained my situation to Bera. All through telling her, I heard her gasping and writing notes. I felt a bit scared but relieved to get the truth out.

"I don't want to live at home anymore, Bera!" I told her. "I can't cope."

"Don't you worry, Sweetheart," said Bera. "We will send people to your house. You will be safe after tonight! Don't you worry!"

I felt a smile tug at my lips after the last three years of my hell! I felt happy! I could escape the hell hole.

"Really?" I questioned.  "You can take me away from my situation?"

"Big word for a four year old," said Bera laughing. "Of course we will!"

I felt a wave of relief hit me. But then I heard the door to the garden open. Shit!

"Hurry, though," I said. "They will find out I used the phone and do something."

"On our way now, sweetie!" Bera reassured me. "Hang on tight. If they do anything, I will get te Police to arrest them straight away!"

I thanked her and hanged up. Then I managed to slip out the cupboard and ran to my room.

The next thing I knew, I was packing whatever I could into a bag that had no blood on it. I also put my favourite teddy into the bag. I looked round my bloodstained room and sighed. At least I will break free from this! I hoped it would be for the rest of my life. I hoped I would find a perfect family that wanted me.

"What do you think you are doing, Bitch?" Celestia came in glaring at me. 

"None of your business, Bitch!" I snapped back. "Like you cared for me! No one cares about me in this stupid family."

At that point, the doorbell rang. Lexis barked like a storm.

"Shut the Fuck up. Lex!" Came mom's angry voice.

I hoped it was Social Care, coming to rescue me!
