I was ripped away from the kid still kicking and screaming. I had no idea what was going on. I just wanted to cause all sorts of pain, all my anger, hurt and humiliation came out on this kid who was dumb enough to speak up. I was hulled away. I didn't know where I was going.

"Let me go!" I screamed over and over.

Whoever had me didn't let me go. He had me clamped around the waist. Hulling me across the glade. There was a creaking. Whoever had me pulled me into the slammer with them. The door shut leaving me and my captor in the dark. I shuddered thinking about my first night.

"Shuck it Pipsqueak! Why?"

Gally.

I stopped fighting and trying to get away. I stilled. He loosened his grip and I turned towards him, buried my face into his chest and cried. He sighed and tightened his arms around me, this time it was in comfort.

He sat down pulling me with him into his lap. I cried, it was mostly angry tears. But there was hurt, pain, sadness, loneliness, humiliation all mixed in.

He held me while I cried. Running a hand through my hair. I shivered again, trying to snuggle deeper into him. I quickly ran out of tears.

"Explain."

He sounded angry.

I pulled away, and looked at him. He had a cold impassive look on his face. I pulled myself off his lap and scooted up against the wall. Wrapping arms around my legs, trying to keep my body heat to myself and because my cramps hurt. I placed my chin on my knees.

"I hate it here so much. Sometimes..." I looked away, bitting my lip.

"Sometimes..." He repeated.

"Sometimes I want to just... Not be here anymore."

He was silent.

"Don't joke about that Charlie. It not funny."

I looked at him sharply.

"Funny? You think I think this is funny? You think I'm shucken joking? Do you have sexual comments thrown at you constantly?  Constantly being told my only place is on my knees or bent over the bed. How about being told I'm worthless and usless and should never have been allowed to live. How about having my ass slapped every time I walk by or trying to have a conversation with someone but all they do is stare at my chest? Including a few of your stupid so called leaders! I'm so shucken done Gally! You have no clue! There is only so much shit I can take before I break!"

I could feel the tears building up again. I moved so I was facing away from Gally, facing the mud packed wall, wrapping myself up in my own arms.

"That still doesn't explain what happened!"

With a shuddering breath I closed my eyes.

"The entire Glade thinks I'm a hore and I slept with just about every Keeper because I have a few friends. And they think it was just your turn last night. And not that you were kind and helpful and sweet. No. It's just me being a slut and sleeping around."

I could hear Gally exhale slowly.

"And you needed to just about kill the kid?"

"Yes." I snapped, all the hurt thrown into my word.

"Doesn't matter what you or Alby or anyone does. They keep doing it. And they won't stop."

I could feel my lip trembling and the tears slowly slid down my cheeks.
