surprised.

In the morning, he woke up and changed clothes and headed for the kitchen. Then she saw Marianne saw her standing in the kitchen.
"Who was that guy? What was that creature?"
She questioned when she open the fridge and take a bottle of water.
"Worse than that"
"Tell me what you saw"
Amelia's voice thickened, detested her stepmother at that time. - "How were you able to bring that disgusting man to our house and sleep in my father's bed!"
"View of judgment"
"You're a traitor. I know you never loved my father"
Amelia's eyes filled with tears. She wanted to have the power to expel Marianne from that house. And do not look on the face of the serpent.
"Today I am not willing to make small talk with you"
Marianne turned and left the kitchen, however Amelia came before her and prevented her from leaving.
"Now you'll have to listen to me!"
"I will not let you control my life!"
Marianne said, squint her stepdaughter.
"I hate you for what you are doing! You're a ridiculous with men. Bitch!"
During the insult, Marianne gave slap to her face. Amelia's face twitched, burned and reddened. Soon the young woman left the kitchen without another word.

Hateful in her life. Amelia sat on the trunk of a tree, staring into space.
In the evening, with the sunset, she was still in the same place. A bird's nest was near the trunk, she heard the chirping chicks, and tried to go to another trunk, until bedtime. He stood watching the three chicks in their nests.
"How funny!"
She played with the little finger on the head of each of them and smiled sweetly.
"They are happy when I'm sad. I have no mother, no father, I am alone, if I born in the world, I'd be like you, and be in that environment too, happy, singing, until the time of flying come and be completely free"
She muttered.
After some time, Amelia walked standing by the trunk. She lost her balance and fell. Her foot hit a huge beaked stone and started enough blood out of her deep wound. She wanted to get up, but could not; her bleeding it is also prevented.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"
She grunted and began to sob with her eyes closed.
Why my God, this happens to me? "
Meanwhile, Juan Carlos was with Marianne on the balcony. The boy had just arrived there.
"She has not come back yet?"
"She knows her way" - Marianne said, did not seem concerned about the delay of the girl who was away from home for hours.
"I'll find her. It could have happened something"
"If you find her, bring her back home"
Juan Carlos nodded and turned to one side.
***
Night had come, and Amelia was in the same place, lying on the floor. She had her eyes closed. Her face was wet with tears.
"God help me, I do not want to lose my foot. I know you will not let that happen, I trust in the Lord"
With voice murmured softly.
After that, she saw something moving in the dark until it took the form of a person.
"Amelia. What happened?"
He asked accelerating steps.
"I fell from the tree"
"Are you injured?"
"My foot is bleeding. I cut myself with a stone. I cannot walk"
The boy knelt down and picked it up. Bringing the girl back home.
Amelia took a shower, changed her dress and then sat in the chair while Marianne was doing bandages on foot.
"Still it hurts?"
Amelia did not answer. Marianne ended up making the bandages and left the room immediately. Juan Carlos came and asked quietly.
"You discussed right?"
"I'd rather not talk about it"
"Sorry!"
"No need to apologize"
"Your foot still hurt?
"A little"
Juan Carlos knelt at her feet and looked at the face of Amelia.
"I would prefer that this was happening to me" - he confessed. - "And you're free of it"
His hand began to stroke her hair. Only a few strands that were falling below the left shoulder of Amelia.
"I have the right to be able to wake up slowly, slowly. Without my scare"
He admitted meeting her eyes. Amelia looked confused and pressed her forehead.
"What are you talking about?"
