It was the worst days of winter when Samantha was finally beaten so badly that he couldn’t take it anymore and run away from home. As she was only eight years old, she didn’t run too far before her legs finally gave up.

“…”

As she laid down on the heavy snow, her beautiful green eyes contrasted with all the black spot on her face. She was born in a poor family, her mother was born with a weak body, so she couldn’t work like regular people, her father was a construction worker.

Although they didn’t have much, they still had the basic needs.

There was always bread on the table and even if she didn’t have much, she was happy.

But, it only needed just one bad false step to destroy three lives.

That day, Samantha’s father had gone out to work first thing in the morning. When he arrived to work, he walked through the construction and didn’t notice the pit that someone left the day before.

That day, Samantha’s father died.

And her life with him.

It didn’t take long before the bills started to fill up. Her mother couldn’t last in any job because of her body.

Her mother was, by no means, ugly. In fact, she was quite the beauty, she married Samantha’s father out of love.

And she married her second husband, Bob, out of need.

Bob was… a typical villain of a movie.

He was handsome and rich.

He was the architect that worked on the construction that Samantha’s father worked in.

He had many other qualities.

But above all of them, there was one that vanquish all the other ones…

He was an asshole.

And the worst part?

He didn’t try to hide it.

He openly hit Samantha.

Her mother wanted to stop him at first, but later, she just closed her eyes and her ears.

“Fucking brat”

“…”

“Stop looking me like that!”

*BAM!*

Samantha didn’t know who many times this happened,

Since her dad died, she hasn’t been able to smile.

In fact…

She hadn’t felt anything…

That was how she managed to endure the abuse for three long years.

Until today.

Today, someone called social services.

“It was probably my teacher” Though Samantha.

Today it was P.E, and her teacher just happened to past when Samantha was changing.

The burn scars on her back were hard to hide.

“My daughter is just too naughty, please understand”

Bob passed a pill of cash to the officers who just smiled and went on their way.

“You little bitch!”

Bob hit Samantha s hard that she spit blood.

When she turned to her mother, she saw her kneeling on the ground pretending to not heard anything.

Samantha felt that something broke inside of her and run from her home.

And now, laying on the ground, she couldn’t take it anymore and tears began to fell from her cheeks.

“Why did I do… to deserve this…?” She murmured.

“Am I… going to die here…?”

“Is not… fair”

“Daddy…”

“Help…me”

As Samantha’s eyes closed and her consciousness left her…

She felt a warm…

“Is… warm?” Though Samantha.

When she opened her eyes, she was surprised.

“I am… flying!?”

She turned around and saw that she was in the arms on a handsome man.

His scarlet eyes reflected on the moon and his black wings shone in the darkness of the night.

“An… angel?” Said Samantha.

“No” Said the ‘angel’.

“You can call me… Unjustice”
