"Help her" someone screamed, as some people in white uniform tried to drag me out of the now ruined car. My body was in unexplainable pain, it felt like my bones were being crushed over and over again.

I was carried onto a stretcher and put inside a white bus with the words A M B U L A N C E. I was too young to read it as one word. I spelled it in my mind but nothing formed quite well.

I wondered what that word meant, an oxygen mask was placed on my face.

I looked at the people in uniforms that I couldn't recognize. "I want my mommy" I whispered but, they didn't seem to hear me.

Talking felt so painful, even the effort to take air into my lungs was excruciatingly painful.

I struggled against the nurse as she tried to inject me with something; probably to numb my pain.

I squinted my little eyes trying to locate my family but, all I saw was smoke and a lot of people running and clamoring.

I felt a little pinch on my wrist as the nurse finally succeeded in subduing me. I fought against the darkness that was descending on me slowly but surely.

AT THE HOSPITAL

My body felt like it was drowning in a river of pain. I tried to open my eyes to no avail.

"Why won't my eyes work?" I thought

My hands were aching, actually every part of my body was aching. I tried to move my hands, hoping a part of me would respond.

Finally, my eyes opened but was met with a blinding light. I tried to move but I felt some heavy things attached to my frail body

I managed to move my arm a little, and my other body parts followed with an extreme slowness that irritated me.

I looked around and realized I was in the hospital. I became a bit scared.

Was I sick?

I hated hospitals, they gave you big injections and never said sorry. I searched for my mummy so she could take me home. I frowned when I didn't see her.

Maybe, she went to get me ice-cream like she always does whenever I came to the hospital I thought with a smile even though I had a strange feeling down in my stomach.

A feeling of dread. I waited like a good little girl for her but she was taking to long. She knew I didn't like to wait but I still did.

The door opened and I placed a big smile on my face expecting my mummy but a man entered.

My mum always said that was a doctor, he was the one who told those women to give me painful injections and bitter medications.

"I see you're awake" The man said with a smile but, I frowned since he wasn't who I was expecting.

"W- where's my mummy" I asked, my voice sounded foreign to my ears. My throat was hurting so bad and my head has started aching me.

"Here, have some water" The doctor said guiding a glass of water to my lips and ignored my question.

"I know you're scared but you need to answer few questions for me and you can go home, okay?" He asked with a smile and I nodded.

I stared at the door hoping my mum would come soon so we could go home.

"How do you feel?" He asked looking at me intently waiting for my answer.

"My head and t- throat hurts" I winced as the pain suddenly became intense.

"Apart from that, is there any other thing?" He inquired.

"No, where's my mummy?" I questioned, he looked reluctant to answer.

"S- she's not here" He answered, it seemed like the truth but with a clause one I didn't understand but once I did my whole world came crashing down.

AT THE ORPHANAGE (five years later)

"Zya, the evil witch is on her way" Shufen said with the same mysterious smile he always wore on his face.

After finding out my parents died in the accident, I was taken to an orphanage because I had no other relatives.

I bounced around in different foster homes, they always said they loved me but never adopted me.

Each family restored my hopes of having a family again just to crush it. It felt like they were playing a game called how to slowly kill the orphan.

Shufen came to the orphanage three years ago. His mother was jailed a lot for abusing drugs and when she finally got released she disappeared.

Since then, Shufen has been my companion and more or less a little brother. He always defended me no matter what and he was the only one who truly cared even when that bad man wanted to buy our orphanage.

"Don't call her a witch, Shufen" I scolded him.

"She is though, she even called Annie a weasel and told her no one would ever want her" He shrugged trying to act indifferent but I knew he was bothered especially because of Annie.

He liked the fair beauty since he laid his eyes on her and has taken on the job of her protector

He once pushed a boy off a swing when he made Annie cry.

I smiled and ruffled his hair. "Why don't you go and check on Annie" I suggested, he looked hesitant but I gave him a little push and he ran towards the playground.

I smiled to myself as I continued drawing, I was drawing the tree at the back of the orphanage. It was old and it seemed lonely like most of us in the orphanage.

"What are you doing? Drawing. I don't know why you do it, it's a waste of time" Diosa aka the evil witch sneered as she entered the lounge area which showed a perfect view of the tree.

"Good afternoon, Miss Diosa. Hope you are having a great day?" I asked politely ignoring her petty jabs at making me feel sad.

"Like you actually care, some unlucky woman wants to see you. She would probably end up rejecting you" She said with a smile that would seem nice to anyone but I knew it wasn't.

She was like a snake, charming and cold. Her words hurt this time and I successfully blinked back my tears.

I ignored her yet again and went to her office, I was already aware of the procedure.

As I got closer to the office my anxiety increased. I tried breathing in and out to reduce my anxiety.

Each step I took made my anxiety loom closer. The more I fought against it the more it resurfaced.

I stood right outside the door, once I entered my hope would be restored and then shattered to pieces.

Hope, that was all I had now.
