Eloise made another note on her clip-board. "I can send him an owl, as well, explaining the situation. What is your friend's name and what is her father's name?" In order to compose a letter to the family, asking them to pretty much take Lux in for a year, she needed to know their names.
"As for a job, you could get one if you wanted to, but that wouldn't be necessary. There are funds that we can have you apply for, since you are still underage." Ellie could and would see to it that the girl's step=father would never hurt her again.
Taking a deep breath, Ellie let it out slowly.
"There are ways to tell, Lux, whether or not you were forced," she said softly. Even though it had been a year, there were tell-tale signs; scars, emotional instability, etc. They wouldn't let him get away with hurting Lux. And they would make sure that he couldn't hurt anyone else like that, not again.
"It's entirely up to you," she said softly. Quite frankly, though, Ellie hoped that Lux did decide to press charges. Sometimes, the act of doing something to see that the person who had hurt them was getting their dues was enough to help many patients. Hopefully, it would be the same with Lux.
