Katelyn was born September 4,2003. Along with her brother,Cody she was a curious child. Her brothers name is Cody, born December 5,2003.He has light brown hair that shines in the sunlight.He has just like his sister, palish tanish skin and he likes the colors sunny sky blue and night sky blue.Katelyn had light brown-dark blonde hair. She had pale-tan skin and her favorite color is white, sunny sky blue, and dark sky blue. Katelyn was born an abused child. She was beaten 2-5 times a day. She wished for a better life, and when she was almost there, it all came crashing down.Her mom, Sylvanna(sl von a) died a few days after her brothers birth. She was left with her abusive, manipulative dad, John other known as Jeff. Jeff was born with abusive parents. He was mostly raised by his aunt, who was quite nice if you include, spankings,candy, and toys. She sounds good, but she spanked him quite often, once or twice a day. She would quit sometimes but then start again. One day he had to skip school because he cried so much his eyes could barely open. Katelyn didn't like his attitude, because he showed favoritism. He would barely spank Cody. Cody would not gloat though he would always stick up for Katelyn but sometimes when he did he would end up with a bar of soap in his mouth. Katelyn warned him, so he did as she wished. Soon John became worse, and started to smoke. He started the year Katelyn and Cody turned five,2008. They had gotten sick twice, because of soar throat. Cody soon had breathing problems and had to be put on an oxygen machine two times a day. Katelyn soon realized Cody had to hook it up himself, and one day John accidently cut the wire. Cody however didn't notice it and had to go to the hospital. He was in the hospital for two days and soon recovered. He only has to be put on an oxygen machine once a day, and has to take some medication. Katelyn worries John did it on purpose. When she went to school she was also beaten, and bullied. Nobody seemed to like her but Cody. They were like true brothers and sisters. They shared almost everything, clothes sometimes. Once Katy didn't have a lot of money for clothes when they went shopping, so Cody bought her some. They were the perfect two. They told secrets, played, and would never really fight. Cody was her best friend. It pretty much seemed like nothing could tear them apart. John questioned their relationship and soon moved Katelyn into a small room, where she slept on a small baby mattress in a corner. She could never sleep, she was only 5 years old and still needed a nightlight. Since Cody and Katelyn shared a nightlight, John gave it to Cody, as his favorite. It only got worse when Katelyn moved into elementary school. While Cody made A's and B's Katelyn made B's and C's and rarely A's. John soon switched her to home school, where she learned nothing. She would sneak to school in the morning with Cody, it was easy because John never looked for her. She would usually be at a store buying clothes or food for herself. She was lucky most of the stores were close by. One was three houses down. She also bought goods from her neighbor, Mrs.Dayla. Mrs.Dayla always wanted to open a store, so she opened one small store for the neighbors in her house. John however didn't know such thing of the store, but im pretty sure he could care less. She bought clothes that Mrs.Dayla would make or buy. Sometimes Katelyn would even work for her, by handing out flyers and getting it out in the open. Mrs.Dayla soon bought a small house and used it as her store. She named it after herself, Mrs.Dayla's House Of Goods. It wasn't really an official store, like a small only for neighbors store. Katy was an official member of the store. She helped buy stuff and she cleaned up and organized the shelves. She used half of her money to pay for clothes and food, and the other half for more clothes, cloth, and food for the store. She got forty dollars every two weeks. If she took off one week she got only twenty. So everything pretty much seemed good for her, not including her dad is a total jerk. She had a good job, and she was only five, she had a good brother, and she had enough money to buy her food. John just let her buy her own food, he didn't really care if she starved. Katelyn had a dream to make Mrs.Dayla's store an official store, when she got older. Katelyn loved organizing the shelves with pretty colors, and buying new decorations and paint. She liked painting the walls with murals and amusing pictures. She even made a stop motion movie with Mrs.Dayla's camera. It was one hour long and had over a million pictures. It took Katelyn a week including her regular organizing the shelves job. She was good at arts and crafts, so the characters looked unique. They looked like they were made by a child, but your going to expect that from a five year old. She used an old television she bought at goodwill for the people to watch while they shopped. If Mrs.Dayla didn't have cash to give Katy, she would let her get stuff from the shelves, but they all had to add up to twenty dollars. Katy was good at picking items, she got fifteen things. Most of it was for her "survival" So ya things were pretty good for Katy, but would that last??

Katy questioned her luck, her dad hadn't spanked her in over a week. Katy got suspicious. It was winter, year of 2009. The air smelled like maple and oak. The leaves looked like dried flowers. The animals were disappearing and everything seemed normal. Katy had just moved into first grade. She was very smart in her class, in fact one of the smartest ones. She already knew how to divide and multiply in her head. She had to, because of her job. She had become smarter over the summer, Mrs.Dayla took 3 hours out of her day just to teach her. Now that John knew she went to school, he didn't mind it. He was acting suspicious. She made A's and B's. A few days after her birthday, Katy was trying out her new scooter that Mrs.Dayla had bought her. She very much enjoyed it. On her last run when she was going to go in and finish her homework she heard a nerve racking sound. It sounded like a house had just collapsed. The ground shook like thunder. The clouds were gray and it began to seem dark. Katy ran inside when she saw Her brother and Father under a table when she walked into the basement where her room was. She saw there was no room for her under the table. The walls caved in as she tried running towards another table......when she fell to the ground.
It was a few hours later when Katy awoke. Katy had no severe injuries. She walked over towards her brother,Cody and hugged him. She pushed on his stomach as she saw on the movies she had watched. Amazingly he awoke. It was a miracle he had lived, with his breathing problems it is hard to survive something like that. She then approached her dad knowing if he died she would be an orphan. Even though he was mean to her she still had a place in her heart for him. She lay by his side wetting her hands and wiping the dirt off his face. She sat his back onto a rock as she saw him awake. His eyes opened with anger. He pushed her off with a loud roar,"HOW COULD YOU JUST STARE AT ME LIKE THAT! AND WHY IS THERE WATER ON MY FACE , UGH YOU STUPID MUTT!". She felt her heart as a tear dropped down her eye. As it dropped onto the floor she could almost feel the ground thunder. Cody gasped in shock as she stood herself up and ran out the door. She went to go look for Mrs.Dayla. Mrs.Dayla was standing on the ground looking lifeless as Katy saw her take a whiff of air. Katy had not noticed the smell of blood, dirt, and smoke in the air.An ambulance passed by as Katy slowly lifted her arm and waved. At that scene she limped over to Mrs.Dayla. She looked at the ambulance suddenly stop. Her eyes grew watery at the scene. She saw as the doctors came out in their boots stomping over wood. He came by and immediately noticed she was trying to speak. Her voice cleared up as she drank a sip from the bottle of water the doctor had provided. She whispered with a silent squeak,"My f-father and brother are in my house and they are a-almost not alive, and my friend is almost lifeless." The doctor shouted to the van,"I'LL TAKE THIS ONE, YOU GUYS GO TO THAT ONE AND SAVE THE FATHER AND HIS SON!" with that she fell into his arms as he carried her to the truck. She limped into the back seat as she watched them strap Mrs.Dayla to a stretcher. She soon passed out knowing nothing about her father or brother, where they were, when they would come back, or even if they were close by. She awoke to be in a hospital. She was in an oxygen machine. She was all cleaned up with stitches and about three scars and cuts. She was still hurting of course, who wouldn't. Yet she wasn't worried about herself, she was mainly worried about her dad and brother, well lets just say mainly her brother. She wasn't cold hearted though she thought about her dad too. She squealed to a nurse walking through the hall,"N-nurse w-where i-i-is my f-f-family?" The nurse nearly dropped her mouth at the sight. The nurse ran in and Katelyn soon realized she was not a nurse. She was Mrs.Dayla,"Oh sweetie, what happened where is John? Where is Cody, are you okay?". Katy smiled and silently whispered while coughing,"I don't know where they are or if they are even okay, but im glad you are it's just. Where are they?". Mrs.Dayla grinned,"I will go look for them ok?".Katy smiled and nodded her head. Mrs.Dayla walked out of the room, handing Katy a chewy mint. Katy plopped it in her mouth with a pucker. She saw as Mrs.Dayla walked out of the room and a doctor soon came in with a grin. Katy smiled,"I feel better already, well my attitude is. It's just my scratches and cuts kind of hurt." She read his name tag,"Mr.Calloway." He smiled,"Im glad you have a good
