Detailed Version:

Kiara was adopted. But in her case this was not a good thing. She had a dark past behind her that she didn’t know about. It had been kept a secret by her original parents and never told to her or her adoptive parents. She was adopted when she was 2 and had been treated like a slave ever since. She was fed minimal amounts and made to do every chore and job that anyone had to do; if she refused she would be punished.

As the years went by she began to develop a very negative personality and her self-esteem was lowered to nothing. Her “fake” parents never sent her to school so she never really had any friends. Because of this, she was forced to create her own made up world that she could escape to at night in her mind.

The depression and sadness became so bad that when she was 12 years old she tried to hang herself from her own bedroom light. She failed to do this as the light came loose from the ceiling resulting in large damages to the ceiling and even more punishment from the evil adoptive parents.

All of the pain and sadness carried on for a few more years until her 15^th Birthday arrived. She decided that was the day to make her move. She set up an escape route in the day and waited till the night to use it. She ran away the night she turned 15 but had her evil adoptive parents hot on her tail the next day.

She had been kept at home and rarely taken out for 15 years so had a very long time to perfect her hiding skills but she had no idea where to go. She spent the first day running from the adoptive parents through the countryside, until she came across a boy sat in a field. They spent the rest of the day together and connected very well, ending up becoming good friends over night.

Over the next few days he showed her around the area, many places where she could hide and sometimes they had to use them to hide from the evil parents. He also introduced her to his friends who she got on very well with. They all worked together to make her feel happy and boost her self-esteem.

All was going well until one or two days after. The evil parents had gained the help of the police, acting like they were loving parents who just missed their little girl. The police did a better job at finding Kiara and managed to track her down. They took her away from the boy and his friends and made her go back to live with the evil parents. The parents were so furious at her the bullying and punishment became ten times worse. She hadn’t seen the boy or her friends in days and became very depressed again, for the fact that she had all of that then suddenly lost it all in a flash.

After a few days to her surprise, she began to receive small notes from the boy that informed her how her friends and him were planning to rescue her and take her away. Her confidence began to build and she started standing up to the evil parents, although it just led to more beating and punishment. The fact that she knew she would be rescued kept her strong and kept a small part of happiness in her.

Almost a week past and she heard a knock at her window when she was in bed. She opened her curtain to say the boy hanging from the drainpipe with a big rock in his hand. She put her face to the window and heard him say to her that it was time to escape. She quickly gathered her things in a bag and backed away from the window. He smashed the window with the rock, grabbed her and swiftly took her away into the darkness.

He didn’t waste any time in showing her the secret garden. It was a magical place full of everything she needed to live a happy cheerful life. They spent around 2 weeks there, only leaving to see her new found friends. They then found out that the parents had given up and stopped looking for her.

It took months, but eventually the sadness and depression was getting better. She began to forget the bad past she had and started to focus on the good she had at the moment in time and the future she was going to have. She was saved. Her life was getting better.
