Time Of Despair As I walked back to my sweet little home I heard it the sound of hatred the feeling of despair and sense of unhappiness my stepmother had upset my precious father oh I hated her so much! I walked in and saw father on the floor I ran to him oh he looked so forlorn. "What has she done to you this time farther?" "Nothing dear" he replied but I couldn't believe him he was always lying about that I know the only reason he had married her is so I grew up with a motherly figure but she had no liking for me either. As father left for work at the sweetie shop my step-mother set me to work making dinner whenever father wasn't here she treated me like a slave I did everything, tidying, cooking even brushing the evil woman's hair! I had started to make dinner and then remembered that I had forgotten to make the beds I ran upstairs but SHE had already beaten me to it she started to tell me that I was a disaster then she remembered that I was on my second chance and she told me "I was never to be seen in this house again!" She gave me bread and cheese and a few other bits just so my father didn't get to angry (but he would anyway he loved me with all his heart) I put on my boots and changed into some clean clothes grabbed my bag with all the stuff I would need and trudged out of the house and into the world leaving everything I loved behind. I went out into town and as I passed my fathers sweet shop I looked longingly at the sweets, took one last look at his face and carried on down the road. I sat down on a bench and took out my favourite book called 'the nightmares dream' and shed some tears when I thought of how my REAL mother had read this book to me. I took put another thing the bookmark in the book was my step mothers credit card I had learnt the pin so I could use it! I went to the local B&B and got a room for 7 days and 8 nights with a breakfast, lunch and dinner each day! The landlord watched me and came up to me and asked me where my mother was and I said at work he didn't look like he believed me but he was a kind old man and didn't stick his nose in my business. I stayed on at the B&B and found a job as a waitress at the local cafe everything went fine until I saw the sign. One day as I walked down the road I saw a notice up saying LOST GIRL, DEVASTATED FATHER £500 REWARD. There was a picture of me up there to I ran back to the B&B and hid myself up in the attic hoping no one would find me. I stayed up there and one day the town policeman came up and took me home my father thanked him and took me indoors i looked around and guess what? The evil, foul, horrid woman was gone!!!
