After a few days had passed everything seemed to have gone back to normal. Leah's friends had forgiven her for almost having her wings removed or even if they hadn't they didn't say anything more about it. She figured the reason they didn't risk giving her even more lectures was because they didn't want to take the chance that Sam would find out. The owner of the freak show would not have been pleased if she gone through with it. Truthfully Leah was glad she hadn't gone through with the surgery because she was pretty sure that the consequences would be worse than some forms of torture. When Sam thought something belonged to him he would do whatever it took to make sure he never lost it.
The winged woman tensed when she felt someone enter her trailer. She knew it wasn't one of her friends or even Edward because they would knock. There was only one man who would enter her trailer without her permission and when a cold voice caressed the back of her neck she knew she had been right in her assumption. "Did you really think that I wouldn't find out Lee Lee? I know your little friends covered for you and if I knew for sure who did so I would punish them, but since I don't that means I have to punish you."
Her wings flapped once knocking a few things down from the shelves lining her walls as she turned around to face him. Leah did well at hiding her fear behind a mask of complete calm. It was something she had learned to master over the years. She knew better than to admit he was right. She had to pretend she knew nothing that way her punishment wouldn't be as severe. "I have no idea what you are talking about Sam."
"Of course you do." He snarled grabbing her upper arm so hard she was sure there would be bruises in the morning. He pressed his 6 foot frame in to her smaller body causing her back and wings to dig in to the counter behind her which was actually quite painful. "The doctor you saw called looking for you hoping to change your mind. Don't worry I took care of him the same way I took care of Embry Call. I thought you would know better by now. Why must you always be so difficult Lee Lee? Haven't I given you everything you could possibly want and more? Haven't I taken care of you all these years?"
When she didn't reply he backhanded her hard enough to send her crashing to the floor. The coppery taste of blood filled her mouth and spit on the floor. At least this time she hadn't had a tooth knocked out. The last time that had happened, her entire face had swollen for three days and she couldn't perform in the show. I appeared as if Sam had realized he had to be careful not to hit her too hard. She was the star after all and what was a show without its star?
"Fuck you!" She spat when he reached down to pull her up only to smack her again.
"When are you going to learn you stupid girl?" He snapped shaking her so hard her head smacked against the same counter she was currently pressed up against. "You are mine! You are mine do you understand? If you ever do something stupid again I won't go after you. No, I will go after every single person you care about. The Clearwater's, your friends, I will make them suffer for your stupidity. You need to learn your place Leah. You are mine and we don't want a repeat of Embry now do we?"
Leah winced as he shoved her causing her fall to a heap on the floor. Whether she winced from the pain of the fall or the memory of Embry she wasn't quite sure it could be a mix of both for all she knew. She felt tears well up in her eyes, but she kept them from falling. "You're a monster do you know that? One of these days karma is going to return the favor and when that happens I will be watching with glee. I am never going to belong to you no matter what you do to me. I'll never your girl."
Sam felt anger boiling his blood and before he knew what he was doing he had started to kick her hard with his steel toed boots. At least this way he didn't have to worry about someone seeing her bruises since they would be covered by her clothing. "You really shouldn't have said that because if I can't have you Leah Clearwater then nobody can. If you cross me again you will regret it and if I ever hear of you going to a doctor again without my permission this will seem like a happy memory compared to what I do to you."
"Like you would ever really get rid of me because then you would lose money and we both know you would never let that happy. I can't believe I ever thought I might actually be in love with you." She tried getting on her knees, but the next thing Leah knew blackness took over when Sam's boot connected with the back of her head. Well at least she had gotten in the last word and that is what mattered.
The owner of the freak show stormed out of her trailer screaming at anyone who got in his path. Jacob saw him leaving Leah's trailer and he turned to Jasper who was standing next to him. He knew what he would find when he went in there and he wanted to be prepared. "Fuck he found out somehow! You need to get Alice and get the kit. I'll go and assess the damage that was done to her and whatever you do don't let Sam see you. You know when he is pissed he takes it out on anyone and if he sees you with supplies meant to help her he will flip."
