I open my eyes and I'm still staring at the wall. I don't think I moved at all. I look around and it seems to be late in the day. I try to get up and everything hurts. Mary gets up from the chair beside the bed. "I'll tell him you're awake little miss. Don't move to much."

"You don't have to worry about that Mary." I close my eyes and try to relax. But then I see red eyes look at me from the window. I open my eyes and there's nothing there. Not like I can do anything if someone was there.

She smiles at me then walks out.

Tre walks in a minute later. He climbs back into bed with me slowly and starts rubbing my back lightly. "Do you want to get up and eat something baby?"

"No. It hurts to move."

He nods. "I'll get you some more of that medicine and I'll bring you some blood." He gets up and leaves.

After a few minutes he comes back in with some cups. He puts the straw in my mouth and I drink all the blood. Then he does the same thing for the other cup. I drink all the pain stuff.

Then he lays down with me and rubs my back some more. It doesn't take me long to go back to sleep.

The next time I wake up, it's morning and I'm sleeping all the way on top of him. I try to move off him and I still hurt. I get off him and start to cry.

He rubs my back. "It'll be ok baby. It's starting to look better now."

I start crying harder.

"I know the damage is deeper than some bruises baby." He kisses the back of my shoulder. "I promise though, it will be ok. Do you want to try taking a bath? The warm water might help. I'll ask Mary if any of the oils can help." I nod. "Ok baby, I'll be right back."

I hear the bath kick on after a few minutes. I try to get up on my own. My butt still hurts to much but I manage to climb out and stand up. I can move around on my own at least. I decide not to leave the room because I don't know whose all here.

I walk over and look out the window. It looks like a nice day. Nice big puffy clouds. He walks up behind me and wraps his arms around me. I turn and put my head on his shoulder. I start sobbing.

He kisses my head. "I know it hurts baby." He leads me out of the bedroom and into the bath. He strips and we step down into it together. I sit on my knees and he washes me. He's so gentle with me, the whole time.

I want to wash him but instead I just cry.

"Baby, just relax. Let me just take care of you." He pushes a hair out of my face and one of his gentle kisses. "I love you."

"I love you too."

We get out and he dries me off. "Do you want to get something to eat?"

I shake my head and he walks me back to the bedroom. Mary had the servants redo all the sheets and bedding.

"Cruor is going to come and look at your back again and then he will give you some more medicine." I nod. Then he helps me put underwear on. "I'm going to leave you like this. All the bruising is on your back, arms, and ass. Just stay laying on your stomach and we'll keep the blanket up over your butt ok? Cruor thinks it's just your back and arms. We'll just keep it that way." I nod and he helps me back into the bed. He waits a minute. "What are you thinking baby?"

I start sobbing. "He doesn't like me."

"Who?"

"Dipak."

"Why would you think that?"

"He doesn't like me. He doesn't like the way I act or think. He doesn't like that I'm young. He doesn't like that I never experienced as much as him. He doesn't like that he always has to keep coming back for me. I can never keep up with him. He only likes me when I act like a queen or don't question anything he tells me. He just doesn't like me."
