Morgana aged 6

Today mummy made me train. She says I need to be a strong goddess like her and to do that, I needa train hard. She says I cant have any room for love in my heart, that makes me sad. I don't wanna be like her, I wanna be like my daddy.

My first test was to attack an angry doggy. But I didn't want to, so instead I went up to the doggy and tried to pet it. But the doggy turned round and attacked me and I screamed a blood curdling scream. Though mummy didn't care, she hit me with belt, whilst the doggy continued to attack me.
         Once the doggy got bored, Mummy spat on me and called me worthless, she walked off leaving me to die. Most of my bones broken and i'm badly bleeding, I wish I could just die...

(I drew the picture of Morgan, this is her after the training)

I hear footsteps walk towards me....

I cringe in pain, but soon relax as I feel the familiar touch of Nikkie. He smiles at me sadly and carefully lifts me into his arms. I snuggle into him carefully and cry into his chest, he cradles me and carefully carries me to my room, not saying a word. But the slow rhythm of his walking soon makes me drowsy and I fall asleep in his arms. The last thing I hear before I pass out into a deep dreamless sleep, is Nikkie's worried voice, "Morgan, stay aw...."

 

I wake up a couple of hours later. My head is resting on Nikkie's chest as he strokes my hair gently to soothe me. I'm still covered in cuts and bruises, but my bones have mostly healed now. He smiles at me sadly,
"I thought I was going to lose you Morgan, I saw everything! and I thought you were going to die!"
I looked back at him sadly, "Sorry for scaring you Nikkie, I was training with my mummy, but she let me get hurt badly."
He hugs me tighter, careful not to hurt me "you're my best friend Morgan. I made daddy talk to your mummy about it... they talking right now, Everything will be ok."
I smile at him to say thank you and snuggle back into him. The sounds of our parents talking fill the house, as we both fall asleep.

 

-LOUD CRASHES COME FROM ANOTHER ROOM-

We both wake with a jolt later that night, as we hear our parents arguing and shouting. Storming towards my bedroom, Nikkie clings to me and I to him. His dad barges into my room and pulls Nikkie away from me, I cry out as he is dragged away and mummy hugs me crying. She's shaking and dunno what to do, I've never seen mummy like this.
She explains to me that I'm going to have a baby brother or sister and that she told Lucifer the baby is his and he shouted and hit her.
She also told me I'm not allowed to see Niklaus again. This made me very sad and I curled up into a ball as my mummy left and I cried.

Morgana aged 5

Niklaus was sad today, he was missing his mummy. He came over to the house with Lucifer, looking sad. I hugged him and took him outside. We lay on the grass watching the clouds together. Only I was giggling though, he was missing his mummy too much.
               I stood up and took his hand led him to the kitchen. Cook was there preparing dinner, looks like we were having a feast tonight. Cook shooed us out the kitchen, I put my finger on my lips gesturing at Nikkie to be quiet as we snuck back into the kitchen. We both snuck up behind Cook and roared as loud as we could. Cook screamed and threw the large roast into the air, soaking us we gravy.
            We ran away laughing as cook chased us angrily with a spoon, we hid in the attic, both of us laughing hard. I was glad Nikkie no longer looked sad, he looked happy and pulled a face at me and I pulled one back, as we both continued to giggle.

Mummy storms upstairs angrily, with Lucifer behind her. They both look really angry, but Satan less so as he sees we’re covered in gravy. He talks to mummy and mummy smiles at us, picks me up and kisses my cheek. “What am I going to do with you, my little trouble maker?” she says.
               I’m mind blown, I like Lucifer, he makes mummy calm and treat me nicely. Maybe he could be my new daddy and keep mummy from hurting me.

The maids run me and Niklaus a bath, mummy says we’re lucky to have baths and its only because we’re rich. But to save water we have a bath together. I’ve never seen a boy naked, they have some kind of worm thing stuck to their down below, it’s weird, but I don’t ask Nikkie about it and we end up having a water fight in the bath together.
                   Later that night we fall asleep in my bed, snuggled together, as we here my mummy and his daddy talking again.

Morgana aged 4 (3months later)

The rain poured heavily, mummy refused to attend Daddy’s funeral, but I knew I had to. Niklaus stood by me, holding my hand to comfort me. I’m grateful he came; he was the only familiar face I knew there. The rest were daddy’s family, but I was never allowed to meet them.
                  My nanny came over and hugged me, telling me I looked just like my daddy. She then gave me a teddy and told me stay strong. I hugged Klaus and clung to him as they lowered my daddy’s body into the ground. I hope he goes to heaven, he deserves to.
                At the end of the service, I went back to Nik’s. We sat in his room and he hugged me as I cried. I missed Daddy. Daddy was going to save me from mummy. Maybe Nikkie will save me from her instead.
              

Mummy came to collect me an hour later, but she and Lucifer went off to talk in his bedroom. They seem to love talking. They do it for hours sometimes. I wonder what they talk about because I hear screaming and moaning sometimes. Maybe one day me and Nik, will talk like they do.
              Me and Nik just sit in his room, hugging, until I fall asleep cuddled up to him and cuddling the teddy my nana gave me.

Mummy had gone out and left me alone with the maids. Niklaus said he couldn’t visit because he had train, so I was alone. I wander down the halls alone, skipping along. 
             The door knocked and a maid hurried along to open it, I heard her shouting at the man, but he barged in and came looking for me. I hid behind a bookshelf and he crouched down in front of me, with a warm smile on his face, I thought I recognised him.
           “Hey baby girl” he smiled, “aren’t you going to give your daddy a hug?”
             I stared at him in shock and ran into his arms crying. He didn’t care that I was crying and he hugged me back. “It’s ok darling” he said softly, hugging me and gently stroking my hair, “I missed you darling, I’m sorry I left you here”
                “Mummy hits me, daddy. She keeps hitting me and it hurts” I cried, burying my face against his chest.
                He hugged me tighter, “I’m going to take you away with me, Morgana. I’m not leaving you here with mummy, I’ll look after you.”

I hear the front door, mummy is home. My eyes widen in fear and I snuggled into my daddy. He holds me protectively and stands my, cuddling me in his arms. 
              He and mummy start screaming at each other, I snuggle into him terrified. A couple of minutes later, daddy goes limp and drops me and then drops to the floor. I stare at daddy in shock, and then look at mummy. 
           Blood spread across her face as she gives me a Cheshire cat smile. I know immediately I’m to go to my room, I run out the room and upstairs and hide in my wardrobe, scared mummy will hurt me like she hurt daddy.

Morgana aged 3 (5months later)

Niklaus came to visit me again. I like it when he visits, he makes me feel happy. Mummy says me and Niklaus are getting too close, but I don’t care, he’s my best friend.
                   When Lucifer brought him round today, he was crying and had a bruise on his eye. I didn’t want to ask what happened, because I could guess and I didn’t want him to feel bad. So I took his hand led him to my favourite place, The Lake.
               

 

 

We sat together at the end of the dock, our legs swinging over the water. He started to cry silently and I hugged him, hoping he would feel better. He smiled at me and hugged back, then looked out at the setting sun. We sat there like that, with our arms wrapped around each other.
             Until I pushed him in the water, he shrieked with terror, and then I jumped in after him and smiled innocently at him. He splashed me and laughed, I squealed in shocked and splash back.

           All of a sudden, mummy dragged me out the water, she looked really mad. “HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?!?!?! NO JUMPING IN THE LAKE!! THAT’S NOT HOW LITTLE GIRLS BEHAVE” she screamed at me, then stuck me round the face.
                    Tears formed in my eyes and I looked over at Niklaus ashamed. He had climbed out the water and was looking at me sadly and sympathetic. My mummy told him to follow as she dragged me home. I tried not to cry, because mummy hits me when I cry. But I couldn’t help myself and burst into tears. Then cried harder because the tears stung where mummy hit me.
            Once at home, mummy made me stand outside whilst she got me and Niklaus some towels. Nik came over and hugged me tightly. “It’s ok Morgan, I know how you feel” he said softly, as he let me cry into his chest.
                    Mummy came outside angrily and pulled Niklaus off me and told him im not worth it because I’m acting like a baby and he shouldn't be friends with a baby. He looked at the ground sadly and wrapped himself in the towel, then Lucifer took him home and I was left alone with mummy. She locked me in my room and said I’m not allowed out until I can behave. I sat on my windowsill, and cried hugging myself, why does mummy hate me?

Morgana aged 3

Mummy said that a special visitor was visiting today. She said it was the devil and his son, so I’m hiding, because I only ever hear scary stories about the devil.
                Mummy said I have to look pretty for them so she put me in a pink flowery dress, it’s horrible, but mummy hit me for being stupid. She always hits me now daddy left.
           The doorbell rings and I jolt in surprise, my mummy calls my name and I slowly walk downstairs. The big tall man smiles at me, “You must be Morgana, I’m Lucifer, it’s a pleasure to meet such a beautiful little girl. This is my son Niklaus” he motions to the small skinny boy about the same age as me, standing in front of him, “can he play with you, whilst me and your mummy talk?” I nod shyly and walk off with Niklaus following me.
                 I take him out into the garden and sit on the grass. He stands awkwardly behind me, but then sits next me.
                “I’m Niklaus” he says shyly, his voice shaking “but you can call me Nik, I guess”
                “My mummy calls me Morgana, but I prefer Morgan, so you could call me that if you like, Nik?” I smile at him shyly, feeling warmer towards him, he’s as shy as me. “Wanna play?”
                He looks away ashamed, “I’m not allowed to play with others, Granddad hits me, because I always hurt them, and, and, and I don’t wanna hurt u” he looks down at his hands sadly.
              I take his hand and smiles “you won’t hurt me, I promise, my mummy hits me, so if u hurt me, I’ll fight back” I smile at him. Then I tig him and run off round the garden, beckoning for him to follow me as our game of tig carries on.

 

 

A little while later Lucifer and my mummy appear, they tell us that Nik has to go home now and I look at him sadly, then hug him goodbye “thank you for playing with me, will you be my friend?”

He nods eagerly and hugs me back, “maybe I could come see you tomorrow”,
                I smile “I’d like that”

Lucifer walks down and takes his son by the hand and leads him away, as Nik looks over his shoulder at me and waves and smiles, I return the wave and smile. Then walk into the house because mother is angry that my pink dress is now green.
