The death of the old emily

The whip cut deep into my skin. I fell to the ground on my knees. I had been told by others that if you fell to stay down
for that would sow the mater that you had learned your lesson.

Pain. Deep searing pain clouded my thoughts and actions as Alec whipped me over and over, I was sure that some of those would scar.
"Stand Emily, "he commanded. I stood slowly and warily "yes sir? "I asked sure to empathize the sir part. " Emily," he replied "you are
new to the trade. and as such i have been asked to instruct you in the ways of the house." My mind clouded with a vision of my past life when
i had not known such pain. Oh how i wish that it could all just GO AWAY and for me to just sink into that dark abyss of sleep. Where there
is no pain. Even death would be better than this... I looked up and realized that Alec was staring at me like i was some weak human then
suddenly he looked at me in a different way. My body went limp and even as i felt his teeth sink into my neck i felt no sting no bite nothing
just my memories of the past. I felt the pressure lift off my neck and tasted something being gulped down my throat. i was drinking something. bile rose
throat as i realized what it was blood vampiric blood at that. I pushed away but mind craved more.i fell down into a puddle of blood...
my blood from the whip,the cursed whip. I fainted into that sweet dark black obviation.
