#WritcoStoryPrompt2
A wet leaf fell on her shoulder making her jump in fear. Startled she shifted from her hiding place behind the bush .
She looked up and saw a small bird
building a little nest ,on the tree besides the bush. She found it so adorable ,that she forgot someone was looking for her and she was hiding to escape him.
She was a little girl of eight and this small age was full of perils for her little life ,her parents had passed away and there she was left to fend for herself,
in this cold dark world , where wolves and snakes live hidden among people .
She had suffered terrible abuses in the houses she had worked ,to the extent that she had forgotten her childhood .
There were no toys and no friends around her .She had just work , work and more work to do ,still everyone seemed to abuse her .She had escaped from the household as she had just broken an expensive art piece while cleaning .She had been beaten black and blue by the lady and now her husband was looking for her to catch hold of her to teach her a lesson for escaping .
She hid behind the bushes as she saw him coming and he looked for her and left the place when he didn't find her .She didn't know where to go , there was no one to call her own in the big bad world .
She sat down on the grass and kept looking at the little bird building the nest as tears rolled down her cheeks as she was missing her parents terribly .
She fell asleep on the grass and felt someone calling her , "Girl, why are you lying here ,go to your home ."
She sat up startled and couldn't hold back her tears and just muttered ,"okay , I will go ."
She had lost faith in all humanity and trusted none .
She started walking towards the road , thinking about her miserable life .She was hungry too , but the pain of her wounds was more than her hunger .
She didn't know what was the destination but she kept walking towards an unknown place . She was knocked down suddenly by a vehicle as she was not conscious enough to notice it .
She woke up on a hospital bed , and an old woman lovingly looking at her .
She asked her , how she was feeling .
Her head was aching and she was on
a drip .The woman asked ,"kid , who are you and where do u live, I will call up your parents and inform them about the accident ."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said ,that she had no one and she was
alone in the world .The woman said ,"don't panic , my child , I will help you , just tell me about yourself ."
The girl saw kindness in woman's eyes ,and she narrated the whole story of abuse at the hands of people .The woman promised to help her and send her to school and assured her that the
people responsible for her plight will soon pay for their misdeeds .She said ,"Till I do not find a place for you to live ,you can live with me ,my child ."
Tears of happiness restored her faith in humanity again .
