Her stolen life
She wants to escape the darkness that rules her sight and soar through the skies with wings of a butterfly
WANT TO DELETE STORY BUT NOT SURE HOW

Miriam dashed behind the alleywayway
She looked down at her 2 year old brother
She looked down at her 2 year old brother and grasped him tightly in her arms.
She scanned the empty street for her mother
Deafening screams came from a girl who was being carried into a building by two men. She was thrashing violently.
Miriam’s mother bolted to hug her and her brother the second she saw them, overlooking the fact that she could possibly be exposing herself to any authorities.
Together they soon managed to get to their home safely.
Miriam pulled back the sheet in the doorway to her mother’s bedroom.
Suddenly she felt someone firmly grab her arm from behind. She began planning an escape anxiously.
“I know where your mother is,” a man whispered.
She’s just had a bit of a… an issue.
Miriam handed her ticket to the conductor and slid onto a discoloured and dirty train seat with her brother. Hours later the train stopped in a place that was unfamiliar to Miriam. She knew it was certainly nowhere near where she had planned to go with her mother. She asked the engine driver if there was any way she could get back home but instead, she was thrown off the train. Another man emerged from behind her with a sack in his hand; Miriam could see that there was something in it. She looked around confused and afraid but by now the train was out of sight.
The man shook the sack and a young girl fell to the ground. She didn’t move. She had bruises all over her body. Miriam knew better than to ask questions or even make a noise but in her head she was screaming.
The man hit the girl over her head. Her legs trembling, she rose to her feet.
The man grabbed a gun from his jacket and threatened the girls that if they said a word or tried to run and didn’t do as they were asked, he would shoot them. They walked for 3 days drinking only muddy water from any creeks and rivers they could find and eating dead bugs off the ground. Miriam trusted that she would be okay because she knew that God would be with her all the way.
She looked around confused and afraid
she was sure she would be beaten like the other girl must have been.
When they were alone Miriam asked the girl if she was okay, she realised it was dangerous but knew it would be her only chance.
I’m Sophie. I don’t know what I’m doing here, please help.
The man who had taken Miriam’s brother off her marched in
He explained to Miriam and Sophie that they weretonever talk to each other again.
“Hey! You come back here!
walked until morning before finding the school Sophie had been enrolled at before being kidnapped.
On her way home Miriam’s mother had been ambushed and forced to reveal where she was going. After she had given the least information possible, as she attempted to scurry home to get her son and daughter to safety, she was shot.
Miriam discovered some of the men her and Sophie had described
After more time passed, Miriam could still not shake her experiences and suffered deeply.
