All of you Leap! writers are so darn good! I feel like I can't compete lol. I've only seen the movie once, but I wanted explore Camille's character a little, so I wrote this. Enjoy :)
"You are sluggish and lazy." The contempt in my mother's voice stings me. I feel like I'm nothing more than a slave.
Maybe I am a slave.
I don't know anymore.
My moves are perfect. Sharp and precise. Clean and elegant.
But never good enough.
My mother pushes me past my limits. Often ten times over.
"I can't…" I gasp, sharp pains stabbing into my lungs. My legs feel like jelly and are ready to give out.
She slaps me, hard across the face. I collapse. "You will continue until you are perfect. You will get that spot in the school." She looks down at me and kicks at me, ignoring that she hits my stomach with her shoe. "Get up."
And, somehow, I do get up, knowing the punishment would be much worse if I did not obey. I push past my limits again and again until she lets me go for the day.
And when she is finally gone, I collapse.
I wish I could die.
Life is hell.
