Iris:
Silence hit all my nerves. I had not been able to move a muscle.
I crawled back against the wall in the corner of the room and hugged myself, pulling my knees up to my chest.
I was in a plain white dress now. The damage had been done.
My mother had proved to me that she would cross every limit if I disobeyed her, and tonight she proved it.
The few hours of comfort I got from Kash, she made sure to remove every trace of it from my body in the worst way possible.
The door finally opened, and Scarlett crawled back in on her knees.
I forced myself out of the trance, and my eyes lingered on her.
She crawled forward, her elbows shaking as she whimpered.
"Scarlett," I said, getting to my feet and rushing over to her.
I immediately made her sit down and hugged her. She was crying and shaking badly.
Her body was bruised, one eye was swollen, and her lip was split.
"We cannot keep doing this. We cannot," she whimpered, and I froze.
My mother could be this evil?
