Zahra- Scarred (chapt 18)

Chapter 18

He threw me across the room as if I was nothing, my head broke my fall slamming my neck onto the corner of my bed and I then laid there motionless. My eyes moved but on the other hand my body remained in the same position. I looked at him trying to lean up but failed. I tried again only coming out with the same outcome. I continued to instruct my brain but my body refused to listen to me. I tried lifting my legs, nothing. I tried lifting my arms, nothing.

Me-omg" I began to weep not understanding why my body wasn't moving.

Him-I told you not to tell anyone. Do you know what could happen to me" I nodded not understanding why we were having this conversation; I didn't understand how he got into my room how we even got into this situation.

Me-dad

Him-You continue to disrespect me, ignore everything I say and do for you...

Me-dad...

Him-you threw everything in my face you stupid ungrateful little girl." He continued standing over me

Me-dad please I think...

Him-I gave you a bloody roof over your head, bought you every fucking thing you wanted" he lied continuing to curse

Me-Dad PLEASE!

Him-and you shout at me!

Me-DAD!" I screamed almost completely dazing myself. I could feel myself almost fainting away

Me-I think there's something wrong

Him-your attitude

Me-I can't move my legs, I can't move my arms" I stated, crying aloud

Him-what do you mean

Me-I can't move them" his face dropped from a furious expression to a fearful one. He knelt down touching my arms

Him-can you feel that" I shook my head....

I opened my eyes closing them again....

...I looked around confused

Him-You stupid little girl" he said walking towards me with a large knife, it looked as if it could shred bones into nothingness.

I tried leaning forward but failed, I tried again trying to move my fingers, trying to curl them but got the unexpected response. Nothing.

He continued to walk towards me looking at me as if I had done something wrong, I looked around confused about everything.

Me-w-what have I done?

Him-you told our little secret" he said spitting at me

Me-what secret, I haven't said anything" he leaned over me placing the knife against my neck. I trembled with tears trying my hardest to lift my arms to block myself but ended up just laying there doing nothing. The cold metal knife chilled my whole neck and I sniffed.

Me-I didn't say anything I promise

Me-please don't do it Dad" I begged but instead he forced the knife slightly into my neck pushing it downwards. I could slowly feel my skin being peeled off...

Faint voice-Zahra. Zahra!!

I felt myself slowly drifting away from my body when I was suddenly shaken.

Voice-Zahra!" my eyes shot open to see Carim staring right at me with worry in his eyes. I looked around and leaned up completely confused.

He wiped away my tears staring at my neck. I quickly placed my hand against it removing it to find my finger tips covered in blood.
