"I'm sorry! Please stop! It won't happen again!" A petite teenaged girl screamed, begged pleaded, anything to make it stop. But it wouldn't, he wouldn't until he wanted to. She had failed again, she hadn't worked hard enough, and now she was being punished. Like her life wasn't enough of a punishment.
The man, a furious giant looming over her, kicked her spine, pain exploding through her in waves. The man stopped the assault with his foot and reached for the girl's head. "Sorry doesn't cut it! You don't follow orders, you suffer the consequences! You should know this by now!" he screamed in her face, held a few inches away from his by a fistful of chestnut hair. He yanked her by her hair into a standing position before throwing her into the concrete wall. A large "smack" was heard as her head connected with the wall. She slumped to the floor. "You do better next time, do you hear me?" he snarled at her.
With a shaky breath she managed a feeble, "Yes Sir," that came out barely louder than a whisper. She couldn't move, she could hardly breathe, let alone answer him with any kind of strength in her voice.
The man growled one last time before leaving her. The girl stayed where she was, too weary to even try making it to her bed on the other side of the room. Dark hair covered most of her face and pooled around her on the floor. Blood seeped from the split in her lower lip, creating tracks down the pale chin. Her small body shook with pain, and the silent sobs that accompanied the tears streaming down her face. Tear filled hazel eyes stared unfocused at a random point in her room before she finally let them close as blissful sleep overtook her, and dreams began to play in her mind.
In her dreams she wasn't in this horrible place. In her dreams she was free. In her dreams she was wanted for the right reasons. In her dreams she was loved.
