*Flashback*

( warning descriptions of abuse)

The sound of screaming could be heard through the whole house. It was the scream of a child. There was a woman holding a whip, mercilessly whipping the child. Along with the whipping she was kicking, and stepping on the child while saying, "it's your fault! If you hadn't shown up he wouldn't have dumped me!" The child had bruises and cuts all over her body. The bruises were black and blue, it was painful and swollen. This child was Eloise, and the woman was her mother. Eloise was bleeding and blood was seen all over the floor. The floor looked like it was dyed red from all the blood. Eloise's mother then proceeded to grab a kitchen knife and then brutally started stabbing Eloise. "Ahhh" Eloise screamed in agony. The knife was sharp and cut deep. Eloise mothers name was Carol. Carol started cutting Eloise's tender cuts that were still raw, Eloise felt like her wounds were burning. The pain was agonizing, many people would think that after having experienced this type of abuse one would start to feel dull to the pain, but Carol would make the experience unbearable each time, she would not let Eloise get used to the pain. She wanted Eloise to suffer because she thought Eloise deserved it for showing up in front of the man she was trying to hook up with.

This torment would last for hours. Eloise's mother didn't have to worry about people finding out about the abuse because she didn't send Eloise to school. In her point of view Eloise didn't deserve to go to school. Eloise was howling in pain. Tear droplets could be seen, refusing to come out of the eye sockets. Eloise was helpless against her mother, for she knew that if she resisted it would only get worse. Carol started pinching Eloise's forearms leaving throbbing bruises that were brown and purple. Eloise's expression became distorted from the pain. Carol continued to cut, pinch, and kick Eloise. Eloise grimaced in pain and pursed her lips. "P-please anyone h-help me." Eloise gasped out, she barely had enough air to call for help. Carol sneered at Eloise and said cruelly "do you think anyone wants to save a failure like you?" Carol had a crazy look in her eyes. It was that look in her eyes that Eloise was terrified of, because it meant her mother was going to make the torment worse.

The reason Carol was mad was because the stuffed animal had been given to Eloise when she was a child. The neighbor had given it to her, she was happy and went to show it to her mother but she was with a man. When the man saw Eloise, he got angry and then dumped Carol because of it. Carol was extremely angry with Eloise because of that, and lashed out on her to make herself feel better.
