Chapter Sixteen
Written by: Little Angry Kitten
Dimitri is in a foul mood more often than not lately and that only means more torture for me. He's rougher, which is a surprise all on its own. The bruises are darker, and my head aches from him pulling my hair so hard. One look at the mirror after he's done and I'll definitely have to lay off work for a few days.
I drag myself to my room and I'm thankful it's late so people won't see me. I have to keep whatever pride is left in me.
"Looking good, Roza." Usually I can tune Galina and her snarky comments out but after the night I had something snaps inside me. I'm on her before she can realize what's going on and my fists come down on her hard. It's a cacophony of screams and curses and it only stops when too familiar but unwelcome arms wrap around me.
Chapter Seventeen

Dimitri is furious, his earlier mood has only gotten worse. I can feel this is going to be the worst so far. He circles us, wrists clasped behind his back, breathing heavily. I take a moment to relish in the fact that I got one over Galina before the storm hits us.
He's quiet.
Too quiet.
"Dimitri-" Galina starts but a stiff glare from him cuts her off.
"Stan." Dimitri finally says and Stan takes a step forward. Where Mason is one of the 'good' guys Stan is the exact opposite. He has a knack for torturing people and that makes him the perfect right hand for Dimitri. "You know what to do with Galina." His voice holds a dark promise as he turns to face me. "I'll deal with Roza, myself."
I open my mouth to scream when his hand connects with my cheek but nothing comes out.
Nothing at all.
Chapter Eighteen.

Lying in bed recovering gives me lots of time to think things over.
Number one: Galina is a crazy bitch.
Number two: I'm sure Galina's suffering just as much as I am, if not more. I grin, remembering the feel of my fist pounding against her face.
Number three: Despite, or maybe because of how badly Natalie's been treated, she has a lot more freedom than the rest of us.
Maybe it's because Dimitri knows she'd never go against him. If I hadn't fought back so much in the beginning I'd be that free too. Maybe I can be again.
