LEXI'S POV:
"Alexandra." It's a voice that I've grown to hate, if I hadn't hated it the first time I'd ever heard it. Like usual, I don't respond.
"You have a visitor." A visitor? What does she mean?
A few moments later, the door opens up again. I still refuse to look up. What is the point? I'm going to get kicked and slapped and punched and cut and beaten to a pulp. There's nothing and nobody that is going to be able to stop it, except for maybe the turtles. But my hope is running thin and I've started to unintentionally begin to believe all that Melinda said about the turtles not coming to my rescue.
"I present to you Oroku Saki." Those six words; those words make me stop shaking.
No.
No, anyone but him.
I don't want him to see me, especially not like this, chained to a wall, bleeding and bruised and barely alive. I can't look up at him; so I can't be sure if he's really here. This could be a sick, cruel joke that she's playing with me to get me to look up—or to give up.
"Look up, Alexandra." I don't respond. "Look your father in the eyes!"
How does she know? How does she know that this is my father?
Suddenly, her hand is smashed against my forehead and she lifts my head upwards.
My eyes hit his immediately and before I know it, my vision is blurring. Tears are streaming down my cheeks and I suddenly can't hear anything. The last thing I do is let out a sorrowful cry and I black out.
