Tessa's POV

I wake up in a bed. A comfortable bed, that makes feel like a princess. Then, a terrible pain goes through my back. It feels like they're pulling me apart, piece by piece. I scream in pain. "Shhhh. It's okay" says Will.  "It just hurts so much!" I yell. "I know. we are just stitching up your back. Your old employer was pretty harsh, Huh?" He asks. "Yeah. H-he beat me just before we went to the auction." I say. I can feel the needle piercing the skin on my back, the needle pulling the tread through my skin. I throw my head in the pillow and scream. It feels like the belt, but slower and more painful. I grit my teeth to keep from screaming again. I have a feeling that I shouldn't have woken up until they were done. Finally it's over. They clean up my back and wrap it with gauze. I try to sit up but a searing pain goes through my body. "Here lay down. You need rest. Let yourself heal." Says Sophie. "Can you pull the covers up please?" I ask. "Of course!" Says Will. After that, I fall into a relaxing slumber.
