Yvette is a traitor.

My anger is what keeps me silent. Thoughts of Maman and Barbé slowly replace those of the girl who betrayed me, betrayed us. I feel oddly calm through the blows, through the maddening stickiness of blood I can't wipe away.

"Where is your mother?" my tormentor screams inches from my face.

"I. Don't. Know," I lie for the hundredth time.

The next blow brings bright sparks spinning before my vision and pain lances through my head.

Darkness.

Have they turned out the light? Surely not – I can still feel the heat of the interrogation light on my face. As the questions begin again, I realise the truth.

I am blind.
