She pondered on the word carefully as she painfully dragged her body back to the prison cell with blood dripping down her hands and thighs.
Her iye once told her,
"The devil takes the souls of the ones that shed the blood of another, leaving them empty, to wallow in pain and suffering till the end of time"
"EMPTY", she thought again.
Why then did she feel empty when it was her blood she just spilled?
Her body is numb from the pain of the wounds she inflicted on herself as a punishment for the choice she made.
She couldn't let them harm Amen or let her be sold to those guards.
She had to choose the poor child or else she wouldn't survive the night.
She wailed into the night as she drove the blade into her thighs, cursing at the heavens for saving that vile man.
Begging for Ose's forgiveness and vowing to keep Amen safe till her dying breath.
A new feeling of purpose sprung in her.
"She had to protect the little girl now", she whispered as she made her way back to where Amen slept.
