Morgana age 9

I've been at Niklaus' for over a year now, I've been so happy here! He's taught me how to fight, but he's nicer, not like mummy. 

No one knows about me being here apart from Danielle and Nikkie. That's how I would of liked it to stay, but I bumped into Mikael one day... I had never met him before but what he does to Nikkie

makes me hate him... But he was kind to me, he said he'd keep it a secret.

 
One day I was fast asleep, I heard something moving in my room. I woke up, cuddling the teddy Nik had given me and I saw him packing my bag.
"Nikkie what are you doing?" 

"Morgan you have to go home now" 

I stare at him in shock, "but but but YOU PROMISED I COULD STAY HERE AND THAT YOU WOULD LOOK AFTER ME!!" 

"Your mummy needs you Morgan, you can't stay here any more" 

I can see long bruises stretching up his arms and round his neck. 

"I DONT WANT TO GO HOME!!" 

"YOU HAVE TO MORGANA!! FOR YOUR MUMMY" 

I don't say anything, I get up and hug the teddy he gave me and snatch my bag from him "I thought you were my friend" 

"I am Morgan, but your mummy needs you" 

"No she doesn't...." I can't look at him anymore.

I hear him sigh and he teleports us to outside my house, I can feel the fear course through my body as I see my mother standing at the front door. 

"I'm sorry Morgan, I'll see you soon" 

I ignore him and walk into my house. 

As soon as I'm through the door, it slams shut and I'm left standing in darkness. I'm frozen in fear, I hate the dark, mummy can get me in the dark. 

"Your such a wicked child Morgana"

CRACK

as the first whip is brought down on my back. I scream in agony, but stay standing.
"Why did you run Morgana?"

CRACK

as the second whip hits my back, forcing the air from my lungs, but I stay standing, I'm not letting mummy win.
"WELL ANSWER ME THEN MORGANA!"

CRACK,

I finally collapse to my knees, tears streaming from my eyes.

"I....I....I....I'm sorry Mummy" I stutter, finding it hard to concentrate from the pain. 

CRACK

"SORRY ISNT GOOD ENOUGH"
she screams at me, followed by a series of
CRACK

CRACK

CRACK

CRACK

CRACK

CRACK

CRACK

CRACK

CRACK

CRACK...
I curl up on the floor ls the whip only hits my back... I'm finding it hard to breathe... Darkness starts to block my vision and......I...... finally......... pass.......... out.
