What is love?
Cornelia was walking towards the park; she had calmed down now and was thinking of what to do next. She knew she had to start a new life. Somewhere far from this place…from all these people, but she had no money and none of her belongings. Plus she couldn't leave her sister with her stepmother. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by her mobile ringing.
"Hello" Cornelia wasn't really bothered.
"Corn…Cornelia please help me mum ha…has been b…beating me up"
This got Cornelia's attention it was her sister Lillian, who had left with her stepmother. It seemed she was crying.
"Lillian where are you?"
"I'm at ho…home"
"Where's mum?"
"She has gone ou…out"
"Wait there I'm coming"
Cornelia quickly ran towards home. When she arrived the door was open and she stepped in side. It was all the same except a small girl whimpering in the corner of the room. The sight of her sister made Cornelia's heart ache. Lillian had bruises all over her face and tears ran down her red cheeks. Her arms had blood on them and it seemed as though her hair had been ripped out.
Cornelia walked over to her sister and knelt down to hug her. Cornelia felt afraid that it might hurt her, but she still hugged her lightly. Lillian let out all the tears that were left and when she stopped crying. Cornelia helped her to get up and then cleaned her up. After doing that they both at sat down in the living room.
"What happened after I left?"
"Mum went mad… she started hitting me, she also started to drink a lot and messed up all your room"
"I'm so sorry I left you Lilly, but now we can start a new life together only the two of us…no one else"
"But…how, we have no money and no where to go"
Cornelia thought for awhile and then started heading towards upstairs.
"Where are you going?" asked Lillian.
"Come upstairs and pack everything that's important to you, quickly".
So both sisters packed all the things precious to them. Cornelia then went to her mum's room and looked around; it had become different since her father died. There used to be pictures of her and her sister in this room and it was always clean, but now the whole room was a mess. Cornelia moved to the pillow and took out a key from underneath it. She then went over to a painting hanging on the wall and took in off, revealing a safe.
Little did there stepmother know, Cornelia had always known about this secret safe, but she never took any money out. However today was different because she was only taking the money that her father had given to her and Lillian, but their stepmother took it away. Now it was time to take it back. Cornelia opened the safe and took half the money in there sand also the locket, her mother had given her.. Finally putting back everything safely she called for a cab.
When the cab arrived they got in and soon arrived at a hotel right across town. Cornelia booked the hotel for one night, so she could plan what to do next. That night Cornelia told Lillian about what had happened to her and decided that they should leave this place and move on to somewhere else….somewhere far away forever…
