Tears rolled down Rose's face. With each swipe, the whip tore through her shirt. Even so, she was getting it while wearing armour. But I couldn't bear to watch...

It was quickly over. Rose's punishment was 30 seconds long, but by the the scorch marks left on her semi-revealed back, it looked like she had been whipped a lot longer. My father turned to me.

2 guards spun me around and fastened me to a column before shredding the fabric of my muddied shirt apart, revealing my almost undamaged skin. I was at my father's mercy entirely. And I know my father is not one to show mercy.

The chains are tightened, pinned to the wall, I let out a wild shriek before the whip hits me again, stones crackling onto my skin.

The blood runs steadily on, my back now a murdurous crimson. My eyes roll back..
