Who Am I?

by RomitriSevione

Running down a long, winding road I held on tightly to my bag. I turned down the alley and carried on running. A rush of adrenalin throughout my body was the only thing keeping me moving. My arms are aching, my legs are aching and I feel like I'm about to collapse. Hugh...hugh...hugh...I finally managed to catch my breath after running for 20 minuets straight. I have nowhere to go.

7. Telling Amy

"So what is it what's so complicated that you can't tell Luke, or me?" Amy sat, on the end of my bed, next to me. "I...it's just... complicated." I stuttered. "Chlo please. Talk to me." Amy grasped both my hands. "I can't. I...I don't want to lose you." "Lose me, Chlo what are you talking about? You will never lose me." I looked into Amy's eyes and I knew instantly she was telling the truth. "Okay, but this goes no further. Else I'm in trouble." I drew a deep breath and began my story:

"When my mother was pregnant with me, her and my father lived in Germany. When my mother was 6 months pregnant they found out the baby was a girl, me. But my father was in debt, lots of it. He owed money to a Russian man called Renaldo Devroski. My father couldn't pay the debt and when Renaldo found out he made a deal with my father. The deal was that his eldest son would marry the baby my mother was carrying. So once the deal was made my mother and father moved away to England. It was here I was born and here where I grew up. We all thought that Renaldo would never find us, so my father acted like it never happened. When I was 6 my father raped me for the first time. He carried on raping and abusing me until my brother turned 14. It was then that my father made him do it as well. Nicklaus didn't want to, but he had to. My father carried on making him rape me until Nicklaus didn't need to be told. Until Nicklaus enjoyed it as much as my father did. I was 9 at the time, and even then I knew it was wrong. Anyway it carried on for years until, when I was 13, I found out I was pregnant. I didn't, and still don't, know who the father is. Nicklaus doesn't know. He thinks I went away to boarding school for the year. But really I was locked in the basement giving birth to a baby girl. My baby girl. But my parents could never be so humiliated for me to have a baby at 13, so they told everyone that she their baby girl. Alicia. That's her name. She's only 3. The worst happened at my 14th birthday party. Renaldo's son, Matthew, turned up. He said that Renaldo was dead, but he still wanted to go ahead with the deal. Anyway, he and Nicklaus ended up being good friends and joined the Nazi party, then joined the army. That was the best day of my life. But then, the day after my 16th birthday, I found out that I'm..." I held my belly. "That I'm pregnant. So my mom made me leave. To save me, not from my family, but from Matthew. He and Nicklaus have been kicked out of the army. If Matthew found out I'm pregnant then the deal would be broken and my dad would have to pay over £850,000."
