Back home, she was taken in -- but coldly.Back home, she was taken in -- but coldly. She was a pariah. None of the others her age were permitted to associate with her and since she was not exactly a child any more, this was not surprising. But the men considered her fair game and the women considered her worthless and due whatever she got. She was raped. She fought, the first time, and was beaten so badly she could barely speak to tell the police. One of whom came around a week later and raped her, himself. She didn't fight this time. She was beaten, anyhow. She took some money and bought a knife. She made it very sharp. She carried it wherever she went. The next man who came to take her had it held against his balls till he lost interest. She became as wary and feral as a jungle animal in her own home and village. It was difficult, but she could live with it and did -- for about a month. Then the uncle returned. She stayed away from him, which apparently suited him just find, because he immediately started moving in on her little sister, Alicia. Just ten years old, Alicia was already strikingly pretty and developing a compact set of curves. She had been playing Doctor with other youngsters, so she was not unreceptive to the uncle's knowing advances. Livinia discovered him alone with her sister in the house with his face between Alicia's slender ten-year-old's legs, making her slim ten-year-old's hips writhe and her flat ten-year-old's belly quiver with what his mouth was doing. Livinia sneaked in on them and put the knife against the crotch of his pants from behind and told him exactly what was going to happen next. Alicia gathered herself at Livinia's instructions and fled. Alicia, he explained, had not been his original target. He'd planned to use her to lure Livinia back. Customers were asking for her by name and one, a British writer, was willing to pay ten thousand dollars American for her services. He wanted her to spend three months with him at a house on a secluded beach while he finished writing his book. |
