Noah's scream was stopped by a violent hand covering his mouth.

In eighteen years of life as Amiel, he had never felt such a cruel hand against his skin.

Noah let a warm tear escape his eye and it rolled on the hand covering his mouth before he fell asleep.

The woman shook her hand in disgust to get rid of the salty dirt that got on it.

"Just you wait!"
