I cried out in surprise as father pushed me against the cold wooden door.
"You stole it didn't you?"
"What?"
"Don't what me! That brooch was very precious to your mother!" I looked over to see mother standing there, glaring at me thinking I took the brooch. I knew if I denied it I would get more of a beating so I just kept silent and should have taken my beating, like I normally did. I was an only child and I was glad of that. I could not stand to see anybody else go through what I had to. I felt father's cold, hard hand slap me for the last time. I don't know what made me do it, but I just suddenly lashed out and kicked him where it would hurt the most. He backed off, cupping where I kicked him. He looked shocked and I heard my mother screaming at me as I bolted from the house.
I ran far into the forest that surrounded our cottage. I knew I could never go back there. If I did I would probably be beat to death, that was something I did not want. I had to run as far as I could and I could not stop. After an hour of running I was seriously wishing that I had taken a horse. I slowed down to a fast walk, but never stopped. I knew a place where some relatives where staying and hopefully they would take me in. I had heard mother talking about them once; I had never actually seen them. The only people I had ever seen were my mother and father, they kept me well locked up. I was surprised when mother had taught me manners like she thought I was going to actually meet people. I suppose they just wanted to tease me, they would make me use my manners around the house, even when I was cleaning and cooking. I had walked well into the night and as I lay down to rest I could hear hooves coming closer, but took no note of it as I fell into a deep slumber.
When I awoke I found that I was in the middle of a semicircle and father was there. I backed against a tree,
"W-what do you all want?" I questioned looking around the circle. One elf caught my eye, he had long brown hair and he looked like royalty.
"Now that is no way to talk to these nice elves. Sorry about her rudeness"
"It is ok. She is frightened. How did she gets all those cuts may I ask?"
"No you may not ask" Father snapped "I will take her home and then you can back to whatever you were doing"
"I am here! I do not want to go back with you," I said almost fearfully. "I want to go to Rivendell to see my relatives!" I yelled, gaining confidence. Father was getting flustered,
"Just come home Zara, I will deal with you when we get back" He hissed, grabbing my arm in a strong vice-like grip. I tried to pull my arm away, but he was too strong. I looked over at the elves, my eyes pleading,
"Please don't let him take me home"
"But surely you would want to go home?" The elf questioned, puzzled. I burst out crying at that moment. Father yanked me up from the ground,
"He beats me! Don't let him take me home!" I yelled just as father pulled me onto the back of his horse.
A/N: What did you think?? Like it, hate it? Tell me what you think!!!!!
