She didn't know why but it always made her insides twist and her skin feel cold whenever she was touched anywhere on her body. She would always stay in her room, hiding under her blankets as her parents fought. They blamed each other that something was wrong with their daughter and so their screaming matches usually lasted well into the night. Arabella was often not able to go out in public; just the thought of walking down the street, through stores and the possibility that people could brush up against her, [i]touch[/i] her, nearly sent her in a panic. Things only grew worse when Arabella turned ten and her father began coming home late smelling of alcohol, her mother hardly coming home at all. Her parents fighting escalated physically and her father normally took out his anger on Arabella after her mother would storm out of the house and not come back for well over a day, causing her discomfort of being touched in a fear of being touched. This continued for about six years with her mother either not noticing the bruises and cuts all over her daughter or not caring enough to do anything about it until one night, when her father had beaten her to the point of unconsciousness, did the neighbors burst in, having heard the screaming. Arabella was taken away from them and sent to a foster care but when they found out how Arabella reacted to touch, they shipped her off to the Asylum, not wanting to deal with her. She loves drawing and painting. Her room is covered with her drawings.[/center]
