"Haha, look at the ugly girl."
"Why do you look like that? It's scary."
"Mommy, what's wrong with her? Is she a demon?"
"Stay away from people like her."
" Hey guys, let's play a game. Demon and hunters. This girl will be the demon and we'll be the hunters. Get your stones ready." One of the bigger kids of a group says as he pushes the black girl on the ground and kicks her.
"I'm not a demon." She exclaims crying out of frustration.
The boy scoffs. "Then why do you look like that? You're the only one that looks that way here."
"I was born this way. You have no right to judge me. There are many like me away from here, if you came there, you would have been a demon there too. Just leave me alone. I didn't do anything to you." She says, strength clearly leaving her.
"Liar. Uncle Lu said you stole from his shop. " The boy replies, throwing a stone at her.
"That's a lie. I didn't steal anything."
They throw more stones and begin to beat her up. The pain shoots through her entire body as she shields herself.
Somebody, help me... please.
"Die you demon!!!" The bully screams but is pushed to the ground. He looks up to find another boy his age standing before him.
"You scum." The boy who appears to be wearing some designer clothes say as he walks closer to the bully. "Why are you beating a girl?" He says before punching him.
The girl and the others watch as the bully trembles. The boy turns to the others and they flinch. "What are you still doing here? Get lost." He growls and they scurry away including the bully. He huffs in anger.
"What a bunch of cowards." He finally turns to the black girl.
The black girl trembles in fear. " I'm not going to hurt you." He says, making her look at him.
"Lin Shen!!" Someone shouts and they turn to see three other boys coming with a lady behind them.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" The lady looks at the black girl and smiles. The smile catches the girl's attention. " I'll call you An Yonghui. Come on, let's go."
The girl looks at the hand stretched out in front of her.
I'm scared. Should I?
She hesitates but one of the boys who was the youngest takes her hand and drag her with them. Since she has no strength in her, she easily complies.
"I'm An Mingde." He says, showing his full teeth. "Grandma, is she our sister?"
The lady looks at the girl. "Yes, she is. Yonghui, call me grandma An. Hmm?"
