Lyla's Chamber

Felicity knocked the door lightly 'My Lady, we are departing for England this morrow, please get packed' she said and she left the room.

Lyla jumped onto her feet, and answered the door. "Thank you, my lady. I shall pack right away," she said. She watched as the woman left, and began packing.

Lyla pulled her knees up to her chest, and rocked herself back, and forth. She was so tired, and depressed. She was with child. She was with child. And, she was only fifteen. And, the worst part was........this was not a child concieved through consensual love......it was forced. Not only was she pregnant by rape, but she was just another Hoffman woman who was pregnant with a bastard; she was wasted good. With that she began to cry.
