"Please....please...stop.... Don't... Ahhh... ".
"Shut the hell up!!!".
Mary held both hands across her mouth to muffle her screams, she failed and a shriek escaped her mouth. Marcus slapped her hard across the face and scowled.
"I said shut it!" he spat in her face.
With trembling hands, Marcus got rid of all of Mary's cloths and then his.
"You're my brother please stop doing this". Mary begged but her plea fell on deaf ears, Marcus was relentless, he was a monster.
30 minutes later, Mary was lying half conscious on her bed, she looked ruffled and nerved, bruises were visible on certain part of her body. She eventually got up and ran herself a hot bath. The water burnt her skin but she didn't feel it, the hurt she felt inside was much more worse than the hot water.
After a brief painful bath Mary put on a baggy outfit and settled down on her reading table to do her assignments, she brought out her diary and wrote,
"Dear diary, today 15 of March is just like yesterday, why does it seem like I'm stuck in time? Why does the same thing keep happening to me over and over again? Why is he cruel. Diary I have no one to talk to but you, I hope you keep my secrets and never tell anyone. Since you're the only one I can talk to. I pour out my pain and sorrow unto you, when will it end?....
She couldn't go on as she fresh tears streamed out of her eyes, she closed her diary. Mary managed to do her homework through glass eyes from tears.

"Butcher!" Jake called catching up with Mary as she made her way across the hall filled with students.
"It's funny how we have almost the same classes don't you think?" Jake grinned.
"I honestly don't care and I told you not to talk to me, I got detention because of you" Mary scowled.
"Someone is In a real bad mood this morning" Jake said to her as Mary reached her locker. Mary exchanged her notes and slammed the locker still not saying to Jake.
"Does anyone need a butcher?" Jake shouted really loudly drawing attention to himself.
"I asked that because Mary Burch is in the houseee" jake stressed.
Laughs spread out making Mary ball her fist In anger.
Mary smirked and said "I hope no one brought nuts because there sure is stone to crack them".
"Ohhw, she's got a big mouth ayyyy", the others jeered.
"Mary I don't see your little lamb anywhere", it was Cheryl that spoke up this time. Despite the morning was chilly, Cheryl was clad in a pretty provocative outfit.
Mary almost burst into laughter as she saw Cheryl, to her Cheryl was already beautiful with her long straight black hair and blue eyes, same shades as Marys but she tried way to hard to make her shape obvious, her top was short and tight revealing her c cup boobs and her ass loo[ks pretty fake. Some girls just try too hard. Cheryl face was heavily made up with make up. Mary was sure she won't be able to recognize her without the heavy make up.
"Has anyone ever told you your ass looks fake". Mary snapped.
Cheryl cringed but stood still, people took glances at her as,
"Hey don't talk to her like that", sandra, Cheryl's friend spoke up.
"You really have butcher instincts Uhn?" Jake flared.
"Butcher! Butcher! Butcher!", the others in the hall started cheering. Make looked around unbothered by them. They were dumb people anyways. Mary rolled her eyes and walked through them. She had a class to get to.

"Hi Good morning Mary".
Mary looked up to see Drew flashing her a pleasant smile.
She immediately felt pleased "Good morning Drew" . Mary smiled heartily, a rare thing she ever did.
"So, tell me about yourself Mary" Drew urged.
"Well for starters people always find my name hilarious" Mary started.
"what's with it?" drew asked.
"Burch, you're free to laugh" Mary said.
"Well I don't think Burch is funny, I mean it's just your last name right?".
How sensible of him to say.
"Yeah it is, you're the first to not laugh when I mentioned my last name".
"I guess I've made history then".
"Hmm OK then. Thanks Drew, so tell me about you".
"Oh theres a lot about me, I've been voted as the hottest guy in school" he grinned.
"Really and who's the competition?".
"Jake, Jake Stone, it was a tough one but I guess my beauty surpass his. So you've met Jake right? Wha..."
Mary cuts him off "How do you know that I've met him"
"Well because everyone is talking about it. You know, so who do you think is hotter, me or Jake?", he looks at her expectantly and Mary observed him.
One thing about him was that he was nice to her and that's a big difference to Jake who had said he was going to show her hell even before he knew her. Mary liked his smile and one sided dimple, it brought her a new feeling and caused butterflies in her belly.
Before Mary could reply, students rushed in making a whole lot of noise and almost immediately the teacher walked in and slammed for silence.
