“Mama please don’t let me be married” Megan pleaded as her mother unbraided her long brown hair.
“Megan I have no say, and you know I have to keep sweet as well. I don’t want you to be married either, and I didn’t want your sister to be married but it happened” her mother explained. Megan looked towards her mother
“I’d rather die than to be married right now” Megan hissed, Megan’s mother knelt down and glanced around making sure none of the other wives were around
“honey keep sweet please, or they will hear you, I don’t want anything to happen to you” her mother pleaded
“I will not keep sweet, I want out of this hell hole” Megan hissed crying. Her mother than embraced Megan into a tight hug
“oh darling, I wish I could get us out of this place, I do” her mother whispered as tears fell from her eyes.

Two days passed and Megan was to be married tomorrow to Timothy Gallagher. Timothy Gallagher was a 35 year old man who already had 2 wives and 8 children, Megan did not like him at all and found him very unattractive, and from what she saw he was over controlling.
Megan was out in the back grabbing the bed sheets from the hanger when she saw Timothy Gallagher pull up in his truck.
“Why hello Megan, I am excited to take you as my bride tomorrow” he said closing his door and walking up to her. Megan dropped the sheets and started backing up
“I need to be going in now” she said and turned to leave
“actually I wanted to give you a preview of what our wedding night will be like” Timothy said smiling
“there won’t be one, I will not marry you” Megan hissed. Timothy then grabbed her arm and pulled her to him
“KEEP SWEET” Timothy hissed and kissed Megan. Megan tried to fight him off then slapped him when he pulled back, he then slapped her across the face making her fall to the ground
“MAMA” Megan screamed from the ground holding her cheek. Judith ran out to her daughter and wrapped her in her arms
“he hit me” Megan cried
“don’t touch her” Judith said to Timothy
“If I were you I’d mind your place, she will be mine tomorrow and I will do as I please with her from then on” Timothy said and got into his truck and drove off
“I want to die mama, please I’ll kill myself if I marry him” Megan cried
“Shhhh baby” Judith soothed her daughter and looked over to the other wives looking disapprovingly.
“Judith how dare you interfere with Megan and Timothy” Josiah said walking up to her and Megan
“he hit her and forced himself on her, Josiah she’s just a child, she’s not ready to marry” Judith pleaded holding Megan
“she is not a child she is a woman in god’s eyes, now you keep sweet” Josiah warned
“no, I will not let her marry” Judith said shaking her head.
“Then you are banned from this family, go pack your things and take your children to the old cottage, and Megan will be married tomorrow” Josiah said.
Megan, her mother and brothers and sister all packed their stuff, got into the van and drove to an old cottage that had been abandoned for a few years.
“mama” Megan said hesitant’
“Shhh, you take your brothers and sister to bed and I’ll figure this out” Judith said. An hour later Judith sat in the living room crying with candles spread throughout the room for some light, she then accident knocked a candle over and it caught on fire and started spreading. Judith soon got the kids woken up and they jumped into the van and drove out of their community and onto the freeway.
“Mama where are we going?....MAMA” Megan yelled
“Megan hush, I don’t know, but were not coming back, and you are not getting married” Judith said looking back then and at and touched her cheek, they then drove off.
