Unlucky morning

Elena pov

"Vince , I have told you several times to stop doing this" I tell him in a whisper not wanting any other person to perhaps hear us.

"Come on Elena , I am just tired of all this. Why are you treated Like this ?" He says angrily trying as much as he can to control his anger. He has always confronted each person who tries to treat me bad. He is my saviour and at the same time best friend. Whenever he is around, I feel abit protected and he happens to be my parent's favorite child. They love him so much.

" I know, but you just need to disappear before any one can find you here " I go on to tell him in a whisper as I collect the last eggs. Vince being vince, he never goes by what I tell him. He always insists and in the end he doesn't go away even if I  to send him off. I then see that all my attempts are rather fruitless so the best thing is leave him and go back to doing my work. We together collect the remaining eggs putting them into the baskets carefully to make sure that none of them gets broken at all.

As I told you if any of them gets broken then I will be punished severely by a strong beating. This explains the numerous scars that are all over my body. 

" okay, Elena... We need to milk the cows .I will have to do that since the other cow kicked you last week , you should just stop doing that" he says as we head to the barn.

" Come on Vince, we have already talked about this . " I say to him. I have always told him to stop insisting over me. This is all my work and if my parents wake up when I have not finished any of the assigned work, then I will be abused both physically and mentally by throwing a lot of abuses at me.

When I told my parents that the cow had kicked me, I clearly remember that morning.

" mom..mom..mom" I went into the house crying as I hold my hand which had blood oozing.The rest of the family were sitted on the dinning having breakfast and when they saw me, they all looked at my direction.

You could see that there faces were not concerned. 

" what the hell , can't you see that we are eating " mom said standing up heading where I was. Blood was oozing out of my hand where the cow had kicked me. 

" mom, my blood is going to drain all out of my hand " I said crying. I didn't know what to do at all.

" You ugly thing, you even made me hate the food after coming here like  a drama queen" Alexis, one of my sisters said as she got out storming out . For Alexis , she is one who really hate me with passion . That hate of a woman towards the other over a man...maybe.

" Did you see how my daughter just left angry and hungry , it wax intention.. Isn't it?" Mom said angrily at me . I couldn't believe the words that I had heard coming from the woman who birthed me. She then stormed off heading towrdas Alexis' bedroom.

For my dad, he is sitted with the other enjoying their food. He doesn't mind about what is happening . That is how he is always. He either throws some insults at me or just ignores whenever the others are torturing me seriously.

" Dad, I need to help me dress my wound " I put my attention back to him" not minding about the rest who are sitted eating food .

"Just get the hell out of here , you are smelly and useless." Some says out of the blue.that is none other than Lance, my cousin brother. He is the biggest jerk a round. With that he stands up with a cup of tea extending where I was kneeling " Let me help you clean your wound " he adds as he pours hot tea into my wound.

" oh..oh my God " , I cry out due to the too much pain   . it sends me rushing off to get some water and to condense the pain. I could hear their giggles as I disappeared into the bathroom. That day, I was so unlucky since Vincent, who is my saviour was not around that meant I had no where to at least get a few pain killers. The whole of that day, I cried my self to sleep. Wondering why God didn't just take me instead of the too much trying that he was imposing into me at the moment.

The following day, Vince had come back and helped dresd my wound. Since he Is a medical student  , it is easy for him. That was last week and the wound is beginning to dry up. If I didn't pour there water many times ,then I could be healed by now. 

All those that come to my head every time I approach the cows. It has become my night mare..however one that I cannot ran away from even if I want to. I have to know that this is the life I lead. First of all I have not studied that maybe one day I will get a job and become independent. I am always on the farm so dirty and there is no possibility that maybe a man will fall in love with me and marry me taking me away from this misery. Those are the two things that could save me from this misery or else I have to be a slave to my family for the rest of my life. 

" Elena.." I hear Vince call out. " I have been calling you to extend that can to me but you are lost in our thoughts again" Vince said sad.

" no...nothing " I said panicking extending the can towards him.

" I know you so much ,Elenav" he said and indeed he knows me very well.

" As I told you, my sister just be patient for only two more years when I finish my medical course. I will take you away to the city with me. You will no longer have to go through any of this " he said as he extended giving my hand a little squeeze. He has always told me this and I hope that that time comes. Hopefully . I smile imagining how life could be if all of thses didn't happen . if I was in the life I wanted to live. 

I some how get relived and we continue with the work. By now it is approaching morning and that means Vince has to go back before any one sees him here .It could be a very bad way to begin aday.

" you can go, I will carry the last can of me into the freezer " I told Vince after he had carried the two big cans 

" okay my favorite sister " he said giving me a kiss on my fore head before disappearing back to the main house. I stand up to carry the twenty litter can of milk .it is some thing that I have got used to.

As I am moving into the small gate, something maybe a wire grabs onto my skirt which drives me staggering on the ground the whole milk pouring in the ground. Tears automatically begin flowing from my eyes. 

" what am I going to do " I find my self crying. Hope no one has seen me , just then I hear some one clapping hands ..I stand up to be met by  smiling Lance....oh My God, this is a very unlucky morning for me to start
