Chapter 14 - Hidden secrets

WARNING ! This chapter has small graphic scenes in it (mention of self-harm and suicidal thoughts and other mild dark stuff)

The warm water falls down like sharp knives on her skin, piercing through her trembling body as steamy fog blurs her vision, only letting her see the images of her memory like photographs, flashing rapidly. The drops of melted ice touched the ground hard, creating a soft melody as a small pond was born around her small feet, falling slowly into the drain and below the ground. The water was welcoming and warm, yet it felt icy against her skin. Even the calming shower couldn't make her forget, couldn't make her feel pure again after what had happened. Drops of dark red substance mixed together with the clear water, falling as the evidence disappeared to the ceramic floor, washing all of her sins away. But there was still something under her skin that needed to be scrubbed off with hard nails, too deep to be reached and erased. Her body shook hardly as the memories filled her mind, her vision going blurry as a name was called out to her deaf ears.

AMY.

Amy opened her eyes, facing the real world as her hands were pressed against the cold wall, holding her steady so she wouldn't stumble. Her body felt weak and easily corrupted, like nothing could fix the way it was. Her mind was even worse - it was at a terrible state, full of nothing but regret and disgust and she swore nothing would be the same anymore.

"You've been there for quite a while now. Are you waiting for me to join you?"

A man's voice made all of her senses wake up again like she had just been electrocuted and Amy shook her head a little before turning off the shower, twisting the metallic faucet until the cool air hit her skin.

"No thanks", she muttered out quietly before reaching out for her towel, hiding behind the sky colored curtain. She felt the shower hook in her hand, but the towel she had put there wasn't there anymore, making her panic. After all, she was stuck with a certain pervert and this was the worst moment to deal with his games.

Before Amy could even say a word to him, the man offered her a towel and she grabbed it fast, giving out a quick 'thank you' before disappearing behind the shower curtain again, drying her body with the soft white fabric. A low chuckle could be heard before the man seemed to leave the bathroom, closing the door behind him. 

It took even longer for the human to leave the bathroom than it took for her to wash herself. She stepped out of the shower awkwardly, feeling like she was watched at all times and put on clothes that Offender had picked up for her. It didn't come as a surprise that he had picked the best looking underwear he had found and a dress that barely covered her body. But without any complaints Amy put on her lacy dark underwear and the velvet dress that wrapped around her body perfectly. She figured it was all a hint from the man, but she wouldn't allow herself to let anything happen. Her mental state wasn't ready for any of his teasing.

She finally stepped out of the bathroom, slowly like someone was sleeping near her or she wanted to leave unnoticed. Her face still looked tired even after she had washed it and her hair was still slightly wet, water dropping down to the floor like bread crumbs leaving a trail. Offender was laying down on her bed, reading something that looked a lot like her sketchbook, smiling every now and then. Even if Amy hated it when someone was going through her belongings without permission, she was too tired to care about it now. But she would yell about it later when she had the time and energy.

"Like I've said before, these are really good", the man said as he showed the drawings he was looking at to the girl like she herself hadn't seen them. Amy gave out a small sigh, not feeling really flattered by the man's words but still accepting his compliment. She crossed her arms and just stood there next to the bed, watching the man like she wanted him to leave. But at the same time she didn't know if she was able to stay alone in such a state.
