My Little Robin

The room was cold, dark, and dirty; but the floor was twice as bad. There were roaches and rats crawling and darting throughout the darkness, coming and going to see what was happening; coming and going to hear the screaming. The ground was stained with dirt and blood, the dirt of the careless man, and the blood was the fruit of his efforts. There, on the floor was a young girl, Nichole. She had been there for days, tied up, crying, and bleeding. Tied up by the man who snatched her off the street, crying for the boyfriend she needed to hold her, and bleeding from the cuts the evil man carved into her after he finnished raping her. The first few times, she screamed and screamed for him to stop, but he would just hit her, so she stopped screaming. When she was a good girl and didn't make a sound, he would reward her with a lighter slash and a kiss and call her his little Robin. When he found out that she was being naughty while he was gone, he'd beat her with a board. One lonely night, he was at a movie, keeping up the charade that he was actually human; and little Nichole was trying to remember her life. She pictured the mother she'd always known and loved; she saw the older sister that went off to college weeks before; she heard the sweet, silky voice of a father who would take her in his arms and hold her until his heat would caress her entire body. But most of all, she felt the touch of her boyfriend, Louie. The soft hair and irresistable taste of his lips, the milky color of his skin and the warmth his cool love brought. Nichole drifted asleep thinking of her lost loved ones, but was woken up a mere hour later by the man who took her away from all of them. He was untying her and laughing so hard he was shaking, Nichole got up and ran but he caught her and held her down. Until then he had always had something covering his face, or he was always in the shadows; but now, he showed Nichole his face and...He was Anna's father.
 He pulled her up to his face and said, "What will you do now, my little Robin?"
