with your eyes

Through fate, she was able to get away from her abusive father the night everything went horribly wrong. She managed to make it to a safe place with a stranger to her but one who knew her brother. He had vowed to help her get through it all and to help her be safe while she waited until she was eighteen and free from her family and the people around it.
That was when everything took a horrible and completely unseen turn, as she was the only one of the family to survive the night. All her siblings and their families were wiped off the planet along with her father that night she had left. Nothing made sense, but after she was able to become secure with the help of the stranger her brother had helped her to get to she was able to help answer the questions that so many people had.
The trial took four years to get through and in that time both she and the stranger who was no longer that got to grow as people and also their friendship. When everything is finally over, they can move on to be what they both wanted to be for a long time. She just needed someone to see it all for what it was with their eyes.
