We were close to finally getting out of this place. Grace, Kit, and I had been planning our escape for weeks. All of our hard work paid off- the only thing we had to do was run out the door. We would have gotten away if it wasn't for Lana Winters. She was a new patient. I recognized her name from the newspaper articles. Just before we made our escape she started calling for the guards, saying that Kit was trying to escape. We were all apprehended quickly while she got away scot-free as if she wasn't trying to escape with us. We all got separated in the chaos. I had no idea where the guards were going to take Kit and Grace, but I did know where they were going to take me.

"Go on in, " one guard teased me, "They are already waiting on you."

I entered the room with my head lowered. I did not want to make eye contact with Sister Mary Eunice and my mother. I knew they would be ashamed of me.

"Look at me, " Mother Jude instructed me.

I raised my head slowly. Mother Jude stood behind her desk with her arms crossed; she was furious. Sister Mary Eunice, on the other hand, looked worried as she stood close by.

"Why were you trying to help those monsters escape, " Mother Jude interrogated me, "I raised you to know better?"

"They aren't monsters, " I cried, "They are innocent. What Grace did was in self-defense, Kit was framed, and Lana is just here because she refused to write an article on stupid bread."

Mary Eunice's eyes bulged out of her head. No one dared to speak negatively about the bread, especially after Mother admitted Lana.

"So Lana was in on it too, " Mary Eunice gasped.

I nodded my head. Lana threw us under the bus. It was only right for me to do the same.

"Those are the stories they tell you, Y/n, " Mother chastised, "Those people are horrible and you are too young and naive to see that. You were going to escape with two murderers and a homo-"

Mother Jude took a deep breath,  "Y/n, why would you want to leave Briarcliff? Why would you want to leave me, " her voice grew louder, " After all I've done for you. When your parents died within these asylum walls, I took it upon myself to raise you. Do you just want to throw that all away? Do you not love me or all I have done for you?"

Tears streamed down her face. I had hurt her feelings. I felt terrible.

"No, I do love you- and I appreciate everything you've done, " I choked up, "I'm sorry, Mother."

"Then why would you want to leave, " Mother Jude shouted.

"I want to see the world, " I cried, "I want to see the world outside of these walls; I want to live a normal life. I heard stories and read about how the outside world has things like movies and parties. I want to visit Coney Island. I want to"

Mother Jude slammed her hand on her desk. Mary Eunice and I both winced at her angry reaction.

"Outside of these walls is a warzone, " Mother shouted at me, "That is why I keep you here. There are even more murderers, rapists, and monsters out there. This is just where they come to get help. This is the safest place for you, Y/n, and I will not let go out and put yourself in danger-"

There was a subtle knock on the door as Mother Jude took a deep breath.

"Come in, " Mother sighed.

Kit and Grace walked in followed by Lana and the guards. Mother Jude glared at them all as if she wanted to rip their heads off.

"These are the sinners, " a guard said as he pushed Kit and Grace towards the desk, "And this is the witness."

Mother grabbed a huge paddle. Grace lifted her dress. I could see her whispering to Kit. Kit reluctantly began to drop his pants as he and Grace laid their torsos across the desk. Their bare bottoms are out in the open for everyone in the room to see. It was humiliating. Lana just stood there and watched. I could've choked her right there, but everyone in the room already thought I was crazy for trying to escape. I didn't want to give them any more reasons.

"They were trying to help bloody face escape," Lana proclaimed.

"You were trying to escape too," I spat out, "I already told them everything."

Lana's eyes widened as she was quickly pushed onto the desk by a guard. I felt no pity for her. She deserved to be punished just as much as the rest of us. She was a traitor.

"You all will be punished, " Mother Jude lectured, "Especially you."

I watched as my mother raised the paddle over Kit's bottom. She was going to spank him brutally. I could not live with myself if I let that happen.

"No, " I distracted her, "It was all my idea. They didn't want to escape; I wanted to escape and offered to bring them with me. If anyone deserves to be punished it's Lana and me."

If I was going down, I was taking her with me. It was her fault that we were even in this situation.

"Y/n, don't put yourself in harm's way for me. It's my fault, " Kit said, "She had nothing to do with it. It was all my idea."

"No, Kit, you don't have to lie to protect me, " I said, "Or Lana."

"I had nothing to do with this, " Lana yelled, "I shouldn't be getting punished; I was just a witness."

"Silence, " Mother screamed silencing the room.

Everyone was completely nervous. Who would Mother Jude believe? Who would get punished? How bad would the punishment be? Minutes passed when mother had finally broken her silence.

"I raised Y/n to always be truthful, " she sighed, "Kit and Grace you can get up."

Grace sighed in relief as she stood up and pulled her gown down. Kit on the other hand looked defeated. As has been pulled up his pants a guard grabbed Grace and his arm and pulled them to the side of the room. Mother nodded her head at the guard and he shoved me down onto the desk. I felt humiliated. Sister Mary Eunice turned her head to look away from what was happening.

"No, " Kit yelled out, "Don't hurt her, please, I will take the punishment for her."

"Kit, don't do it, " I sobbed.

"This is going to hurt me more than it hurt you, " my mother's voice cracked as she swung the paddle to my bottom.

I stood and fought back tears as I tried to sit on a chair. An hour had passed since my punishment, and I hadn't heard from Grace or Kit. Lana was on the other side of the room as she suffered the same pain I did. She should have kept her mouth shut. I regretted nothing.

A few more hours passed of Lana an I playing chess. A few words had been exchanged between us, but in the end, we both understood each other's reasons for our disagreement. She was afraid that if Kit were to escape, he would harm us all, she truly believed that he was Bloodyface; I was angry that she betrayed us, especially Kit. Kit had been a gentleman to her since she walked through those doors. We agreed to put our differences aside.

"Y/n, " Kit's voice echoed through the room.

Before I could even turn my head, I was being scooped into his arms.

"Why did you do that, " Kit asked, "Why would you put yourself in danger for me? Every time I saw that paddle lift, I tried my hardest not to break down. I wanted to save you, but I knew it would make it worse for both of us. Why didn't you just let her spank me?"

"I didn't want to see you get hurt, " I responded.

Kit's arms tightened around me.

i"Don't you know that I would take a hundred paddles to my bottom for you, " Kit announced, "I would go through hell and back if it meant that you would be safe. Promise me that you'll never put yourself in danger again."

I nodded my head, "I promise."

Kit smiled as he placed a kiss on my cheek.
