A yellow cab stopped infront of Melanie's house.

She looked stressed with bruises showing its ugly bleeding selves at various parts of her face.

Her hands were a little shaky since she have been quiet under alot of stress lately especially from the deadly beatings and bully she got from her husband.

Her legs still hurted badly, the injury haven't gone yet, though she barely remembers how she got it.

She dragged her feet heading for the door way.

Melanie knocked softly on the door waiting patiently for the door to be opened.

After a while she dragged the door handle pulling the door open, she scoffed.

She walked into the house and met Brenda, her five years old daughter sitting at a corner downstairs holding her doll to her chest while shivering nonstop.

She have been out of the house for a couple of hours, of course it was weekend and she had gone to get groceries after Charles had done his daily routine by reminding he
