In The Moon's Shadow

Bang! another gunshot rang in her ears followed by the endless barrage of curses from her captors. "Can't believe these bitches actually opened fire on us !" said the minion closest to her. "Seems they don't want you to get out of this alive princess "He said, his voice dripping with bloodlust. Daphne's heart raced , her thoughts full of self pity." It never seems to end does it ?" She thought. This was the fourth foster home that had been reduced to ruins immediately after adopting her . People would soon think she was cursed . Maybe she was. Who knows.



Suddenly she was yanked out of her thoughts by the loud bang of the door. "Bring her out here !" said a burly dangerous looking man ."Yes Sir!!"said the minions finally pulling her off the floor . She winced as her bruises and deep wounds scraped furniture around her. She was led out of the wooden shed-like house and onto a concrete pavement where she was tossed to the ground.



She landed with a thud on the pavement bruising her knees even more. She didn't even lift her head knowing she couldn't face the family that had taken her in with kind hearts. The one she had now torn apart .



She felt someone grab her by the hair and pull her head up. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she silently endured the pain on her scalp.



As she opened her eyes she saw her foster mom looking directly at her,teary eyed.



"What's the verdict mama?" Asked one of the goons while shoving her face to the side.



"Can we have her for tonight then you come get her tomorrow?"he said while stripping her with his eyes .



Daphne shivered under his intense gaze. Unable to shake off the feeling of being violated . Meanwhile her parents turned their backs on her got into their luxury sports car and left her on the road in the hands of those ruffians .



She couldn't help but feel a sense of abandonment and hopelessness.
