Through the Eyes of Terra – Her True Life Story

Chapter 1 – The Beginning

Many tales on this great Earth of ours have been told and they all had a beginning. So I suppose mine should, too. The problem is I don't know where to start. I suppose my tale should begin with my father.

My father was a very mean man from the time I turned 11 years old. He abused us, but never around my mother. He loved her too much.

My mother was wonderful. She never abused us – us meaning my brother, my sister, and me. She adored my father, but she never suspected that he abused us. That's why they left. My brother and my sister ran away when I was 11 years old and I didn't realize why until my father started abusing me. It hit me then that I had two choices: run away, or live there until I died which probably would have been all too soon. By the time I turned 13 I had decided to run away, but I knew I would need more time. I waited patiently until the time was right, and then formed a plan that would lead me to newfound freedom.
