"Get off me" Rachel screamed as she pulled out of the van. She had been sitting in the car for what felt like days. It was night time when she the car stopped. Rachel sighed before getting pulled out of the car and dragged a few feet.
She didn't like these people, they hurt her. They hurt her more than she had ever been hurt before. She looked down at herself. They were pulling at her arm, her white cardigan was no longer white it was covered in dirt and was stained brown.
"Where are we?" Rachel shouted.
"We are finally going to get rid of you" The man shouted as the woman walked beside them.
"You stand her and when you see someone at the back door you give them this" The women said handing the envelope to Rachel. The girl nodded.
"And you never ever tell anyone about what happened between us or between you and your father. It is all in the past" The man said before letting go of the girl and pushing her with a force. The girl lost her balance and fell forward. She scrapped her knee and they started to bleed. She really didn't like blood and it made her feel faint. She held her head in her hands.
"Are you okay?" A tall woman asked. She came over from the crowd around the door. She hadn't saw what happened but did see the girl on the floor.
Rachel looked up at the woman and nodded.
"Are your parents about?" The woman asked and Rachel shook her head.
"I don't know where they are" Rachel said and the woman nodded.
"I have this" Rachel said handing over the envelope. The woman opened it and her mouth dropped open. She held a hand to the young girl who accepted it.
"Come here" The woman said as she guided the girl to the front of the large crowd.
"Let me passed, I have a special guest" The woman said and Rachel looked confused.
"What?" The body guard asked.
"This is Shelby Corcoran's daughter" She said handing over the envelope. The bodyguard read the letter before looking at the girl. She did resemble Shelby.
"Come with me, dear" The older man said. Rachel's eyes widened.
"No, please don't hurt me. Please I'm sorry I will do better" Rachel said and the man was confused.
"Sweetie, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want you to come with me to speak to Shelby" The man said. Rachel looked around for a minute before nodding. She followed behind the man nervously as he led her in doors.
"Just stay here for a minute" The man said as he walked into a room. It was reasonably large, like the size of an average bedroom. It had a sofa and a table.
Rachel sat down on the sofa and nodded. Being left alone while the man left.
The bodyguard, Mike walked along the corridor to Shelby's dressing room. He knocked and waited for a reply before walking in.
"Mike, what can I do for you?" Shelby asked.
"Do you have a daughter?" He asked and everyone in the room looked at Shelby. Of course she didn't have a child why would someone ask such a question.
Shelby nodded her head and shocked everyone.
"How old is she?" Mike asked.
"She'll be 12 in two months" Shelby replied and Mike nodded.
"I think we might have her in the green room" Mike asked and Shelby was confused.
"But she is with her Dads" Shelby replied.
"Not anymore" Mike said.
"I need to see her" Shelby said and Mike nodded. They stood up and walked back to the green room.
There were about 10 people around the door.
"What is going on?" Mike asked.
"The little girl is freaking out. She is shouting and screaming at us not to hurt her and now she is hiding under the table" One of the members of cast told him.
"Let me in" Shelby said as she pushed passed.
"Hello, Rachel do you know who I am?" Shelby asked as she knelt down in front of the table that the girl was under. Rachel nodded her head.
"Who am I?" Shelby asked.
"Shelby Corcoran" Rachel said quietly looking at the woman with wide eyes.
"But do you know who I am more importantly?" Shelby asked and Rachel shook her head.
"I'm your mom" Shelby said and Rachel's eyes widened.
"Don't hurt me, I'm sorry" Rachel said.
"Hey, I would never even dream of hurting you" Shelby said. "Can I join you?"
Rachel nodded. It took all of Shelby to not attack her daughter in a massive hug and hold her close but she didn't want to scare the girl.
"Where are your dads?" Shelby asked.
"Dad is dead and Daddy is well things have changed" Rachel said before pulling her legs up to her chest.
"Shall we go to my room? You can see my outfit if you want?" Shelby explained and Rachel nodded.
Shelby climbed out first and put her hand down to help the girl up.
Rachel accepted her mom's hand. Shelby got a fright at just how cold the girl's hands were.
"You are freezing sweetie" Shelby said as kept a hold of the girl's hand as guided her to her room.
"Call my lawyer" Shelby said on her way passed. Her assistant nodded.
Shelby took the girl into her room. Rachel was very nervous.
"I just need to tidy up quickly" Shelby said and Rachel nodded.
Shelby was running about and sorting her bag out when she noticed her lawyer at the door.
"Shelby, your assistant and bodyguard have updated me. Can I see the envelope the girl had?" He asked and they all looked at Rachel, who was still holding the envelope.
"So this is the custody papers, signed by Leroy Berry. Hiram Berry was not present to sign this due to his passing so if you sign this, she is yours" The lawyer said. "Though the CPS want to have some words with the pair of you"
Shelby nodded and signed what was needed.
"Okay, so Rachel how did you get here?" The CPS worker asked.
"In a van" Rachel whispered.
"With Leroy?" She asked and Rachel shook her head.
"With the man and the woman" Rachel said quietly.
"Who were they?" She asked and Rachel shrugged.
"Dad told me to go with them" Rachel said.
"Did they hurt you" She asked and fear raised in Rachel's eyes.
"I don't want to talk" Rachel said looking at Shelby.
"it's okay" Shelby said holding the girl's hand.
"It's okay, Rachel that is enough for just now but I will need to ask you more questions shortly" The CPS worker explained and Shelby nodded. Rachel just looked down.
"Shelby, you may take Rachel tonight but I will be around tomorrow to check your accommodation" The worker explained and Shelby nodded.
"Come on baby" Shelby said as she held her hand for the girl. Rachel nodded and stood up.
They was a car waiting for them. They walked to the car, much of the crowd had left and there were only a few stragglers left.
"Come on sweetie" Shelby said letting the girl walk before her. She rushed them into the car.
"Just to my apartment please" Shelby said and the driver nodded.
Rachel placed her seat belt on in silence.
"Listen, sweetie I am not going to leave you" Shelby said and Rachel nodded nervously.
They arrived and got in the lift up to Shelby's penthouse. It was amazing.
"Do you want to have a shower first?" Shelby asked and Rachel nodded.
They walked into the bathroom and Shelby grabbed two towels for the girl. She set the shower up for the girl and closed the door.
Rachel undressed and looked at her battered body in the mirror. The tears slipped down her face. She just stood for a good few minutes before she remember she needed to get into the shower.
Rachel jumped in the shower and cleaned herself. She felt dirty. She looked at all of Shelby's body washes and used nearly all of them. She climbed out of the shower but there wasn't anything for her to change into.
Rachel walked out the room and noticed Shelby.
"I don't have any nightwear to wear" Rachel aid nervously.
"Oh god, sorry I forgot" Shelby said. She walked into her room and found her wicked top and a pair of shorts.
She knew they would be far too big for Rachel but they would have to do. Rachel thanked Shelby and went back into the bathroom to get changed.
She emerged and the top was more like a dress on the girl.
"I'll get my assistant to get you some clothes tomorrow" Shelby said and Rachel nodded. She was holding her dirty clothes.
"I'll wash these for you while you get into bed" Shelby said and Rachel nodded. She went to leave the room but stopped.
"Can I get a drink please?" Rachel asked and Shelby nodded.
"Of course" Shelby said. "What do you want?"
"Just water please" Rachel said and Shelby nodded. She got the girl a drink.
"Where shall I sleep?" Rachel said and Shelby led the girl to a room. It was right next to her room.
"Thank you" Rachel said before climbing into the double bed. She couldn't wait to go to sleep. Shelby watched the girl.
"Good night darling" Shelby said kissing the girl on the head. Rachel smiled before cuddling down.
Shelby walked back into the kitchen and started sorting out Rachel's washing. She noticed that the dress and cardigan was very dirty and then she noticed that the panties had a slight blood tint to them. They were dry but Shelby was sure that there had been blood in them though they had been washed but only with water.
Shelby sighed knowing that she was going to have to speak to the girl about this. The girl was nearly 12 but very petite, somehow Shelby didn't think that it would be the girl's period.
Once Shelby had finished tidying up she went to her bedroom. Changing quickly into her tank top and shorts she climbed into bed. Just as she was climbing into bed, she heard screaming.
Shelby jumped out of bed and ran to her daughter's room.
"Rachel" Shelby said as the girl screamed and kicked out.
"Get off me, don't hurt me please" Rachel begged. "I'm sorry"
"Oh sweetie" Shelby said waking the girl up. Rachel woke up and looked at her mum embarrassed.
"Come here" Shelby said pulling the girl into her arms.
"Oh baby, mommy is here now" Shelby said as she rocked the girl back to sleep. Rachel slipped into a deep sleep holding onto her new mommy and Shelby knew that she could not leave. She cuddled down and drifted to sleep next to her baby girl
