My stepmother as new mom.

The next morning I got ready and my uncle took me to grandpa's house. He was not around and there was only his mother, great grandmother.

My uncle talk to great granny and he left there. I was happy great granny was nice to me. When great granny left to the farm I stay around the place. My step-grandmother saw me and asked me, "who are you?"

"Hello I am Emily the daughter of Rebecca. My Mom passed away when I was little. First my aunt raised me but later she send me to live with my two uncles. Now my uncle left me to stay with great grandma."

"please come and stay with us and we will take care of you."

I was so happy someone wants me at last. I went to ask great grandma if I could stay with step-grandmother. She didn't like the idea but she agreed.

I pick my bags and went to stay with my step-grandmother and she told me to call her mom. That day I was very happy that I couldn't stop crying. Finally I have a home and someone to call mom.

We went inside her house and she give me a cup of tea and I had it. I could see great grandma watching me and mom use to say "don't talk to her, she is a witch." I got scared. I thank God for letting me stay with mom. From that day I hated great grandma. Mom used my mind and made me hate her. I didn't know she was doing this so she can mistreat me so I would not tell anyone.

Her children came back from school and I like Irene. She was younger than me and we became friends. There are other two older than me. The first one was a bit strict and the second one was a little bit nicer as I thought. But I found their true colours after staying with them. They make me do all the work we are supposed to do together. I need to carry their food when I go to school. It's so far away like you need to walk 20 minutes. There were hills on the way to school. There was no other school near.

Mom took me to school and I was taken to Grade Five. I got along with my classmates but I know no one want to become friends with me not even my desk mate.

I try my best to talk to the girls in my class and they will talk when they feel like. My new Life went on like this and my mom would beat me up when I did something wrong.

She never buy clothes for me and she used to call me names and tell me I am like my grandmother. She hated me because of my grandmother. I was paying mistake of my grandmother.

There was one time Irene beat me up so much that I was not able to walk. When I told her that I am hurt she said, "are you a kid that you can't defend yourself?"

She called me names and called her lovely daughter. I ask why she has to beat me and she responded I was the one who started the fight, I was the one who got punished later.

From that day I decided to become a bad person. My grandpa was not staying with us. He used to come once in every 3 months and he will stay only for 3 days. So he never got to know what was going on.

They will beat me and mistreat me but I would take revenge. I tell all the neighbours even lie to them to make them feel hurt. Mom got to know what I was doing and she was so angry that she beat me up and set me to bed with hunger. My biggest fear was to be abandoned by them. So I stop talking and telling the neighbour anything. Life went like this.
