Gwyneth was about to turn nine and her world was about to change for the better, he mother fed up of the abuse Gwyneth received off her father decided on the eve of her ninth birthday to send her to a private boarding school far away, in the hope her father could not abuse her anymore.
"Where are we going mum?" Gwyneth asked confused to what they were doing as all her previous birthdays involved a punch up and a possible arrest if it was in a pub.
"Were going on a special day trip sweetie…" her mother replied thinking of a way to change the conversation
"Where?" Gwyneth instantly replied getting excited
"That I cannot tell you sweetie you'll have to wait and see now just go to sleep" her mother said focusing on the road
Three hours passed and they had now reached their destined location still unknown to Gwyneth that her world was soon to change.
"GWYNETH WAKE UP WERE HERE!" her mother shouted, undoing her seatbelt Gwyneth jumped out the car confused and excited about where they were
"Where now mum?" Gwyneth said excited
"Grab your suitcase and climb onto the boat I'll meet you there" her mother explained. Grabbing her suitcase Gwyneth ran as fast as she could onto the boat.
Stood on the dock Gwyneth's mother could not help but cry at the thought she'd finally freed her daughter from the torture known as her father. Waving goodbye to her daughter her mother shouted "IM PROUD OF YOU!" this brought reality back to Gwyneth who immediately tried to get off the boat but was restrained by what she was soon call her teachers.
Arriving at the school Gwyneth immediately went crazy, demanding to go home to her mum but every time she tried to make an escape she was restrained and punished by having no free time meaning she would have to complete her daily lessons, have her food, then go straight to bed, it wasn't a match made in heaven but for Gwyneth it was better than the daily or hourly abuse she was used to receiving.
A couple of months passed and Gwyneth began to settle into her new school and home. Then it all began again. People thought they could bully her, but she wouldn't stand for it anymore.
"Give us your cookie." One girl snarled at Gwyneth
"No." Gwyneth replied
"I SAID GIVE ME YOUR COOKIE!" She shouted again
"No. Its not yours, I recommend you back away or I'm going to seriously hurt you." Gwyneth threatened. The girl didn't believe her though and went in to snatch her cookie, grabbing her by the wrist and throwing her to the ground Gwyneth snarled "Make one sudden movement and it wont just be your arm I break. It'll be your legs too." The girl cried in pain at Gwyneth squeezing her wrist.
"I warned you not to touch my cookie so what aren't you going to do apart from not grass on me!?" Gwyneth shouted
"IM NOT GOING TO GRASS AND IM NOT GOING TO COME NEAR YOU AGAIN, YOU'RE A MONSTER!" The girl cried, running away as soon as Gwyneth released her.
