The Storm between us

25| Scars

I gasped as I jumped up. Another nightmare.
Where am I?

I was in a bed, the room surrounded me with all white as the smell of disaffection filled my nose.

I was in what looked to be a hospital.

I moved as I felt something tug on my arm. I looked at my arm to see a iv.

No no no no no
The memories from yesterday slowly started to come back.

That's when I looked down to see I had on a white gown, my scars were  clear on display.

I pulled the gown up to see my whole torso wrapped. The pain I felt hours ago was now gone.

I have to get out of here. I need to get out of here.
I was panicking as I snapped the iv out my arm.

The pain in my arm made me regret my decision. I didn't have time to think about the pain as I was still panicking.

Suddenly the machines started rapidly going off making a loud beeping noise.

"Woah woah woah hey it alright calm down" A lady I never seen before came up to me

That cause me to panic more. I could feel myself going into a panic attack.

"Hey you have to relax" she said as she tried to touch me

I don't know what happened but my mind went black and all I could see was hands grabbing at me.

"No don't touch me" I said

"STOP STOP" I screamed out as more hands were touching me

I couldn't breathe. "Please stop" I whispered

"Shh you're going to be okay, It's okay" A woman voice said before I felt a pinch and everything went black.

.....

"Fuck" he said as he saw many students looking straight at us some had phones probably recording

He started the car and pulled off. Speeding down the road.

While he was driving I thought of what to say, but couldn't think of anything. I didn't have much time as it wasn't long until he stopped again. I looked out the window to see a gas station.

"Reign" I froze as I heard him call my name

"I-I d-don't have scars" I tried to lie but my stuttering probably made him believe it was a lie

"Reign look at me" he commanded
I slowly look at him and was shocked as I saw concern on his face

"I-i want to help you" he said softly
This is the first time I ever heard him stutter

I felt tears come to my eyes. I knew if I showed him he would look at me in disgust. A difference then what he was looking at me right now

I didn't wanna go through that again. I couldn't handle it this time

Before he could say anything else i opened the door and ran. I heard curses before loud footsteps sounded behind me.

My body burned with every step i took

Before I could take another step I felt my body falling down as I tripped over rocks

I screamed as I felt rocks dig into my backs. The pain ran through my body as I layed there.

My ears started ringing as everything went blurry.

I saw Francisco hovering over me. His mouth started to move but I couldn't hear anything he was saying.

'What?' I tried to say
He looked panicked before everything went black

"REIGN" was the last thing I heard

.....

Fransisco

"Fuck" I said as I threw another punch at the bag

I saw it. I saw all of it. Every single one.

This was our fault. We sent her there. For goddess sake shes only 16 years old

I could tell some of the scars were old, going back years. Other scars looked recent like she got them the week when she came back.

The ones on her back was the worst. Lines and lines of what looks to be whip markings.

Her back was bloody as the bandage stuck to it. They had to heavily seeded her in order for her to not wake up

I hit the bag harder and harder. The years she was gone. The years we never checked on her. The years she suffered alone.

That fucking school. Is this how they punish their kids, by abusing them.

I'll kill them. I'll kill everyone who ever put a hand on her.

I hit the bag for a last time before I heard it tear.

"Sisco whats got you so mad" i heard a girl voice said

I sighed as I turned around to see a woman leaning against the door playing with a knife.

"Eve I'm not in the mood" I said seriously

"I thought you'll never let me out" she said as she look up

I sighed as I turned around "This is not the time"

"Oh something must of really happened for you to be like this" she said

"I mean then again you brought me back" she crossed her arms

"I have a mission for you"

"Really you'll let me stop school for a mission" she said "who are you and what have you done with Cisco?" she jokingly asked

Eve was a girl I found on the streets when she was only 13. She lived there since she was 10. She told me she ran away from her abusive parents.

She ask to work for me. I turned her down multiple times. Regardless she never gave up until I agreed to personally train her.

I promise her once she finished school she could join. She was in her last year of college and couldn't wait to finish.

"Funny" I said blankly "I need you to go undercover"

"Damn and I thought I was actually going to do some real fighting" she said sarcastically

"I was so happy Enzo called and said you had a job for me just for me to not do anything" she said

"This is serious. I think this school is abusing kids" Her face got serious

"Don't worry you'll get your fun" I told her "I promise"
