If you tell anyone...

Punishment

(Pic is of Sarah).
Sarah dragged me up the stairs as if I was a puppy on a leash. "How many times have we done this to you,girl? Y'know, it's gonna get worst every time it happens." I knew it would, but the thing was, we never meant to do anything. "Leave Rider alone; it's not his fault. It's mine." I said, stopping in my tracks.

No holding hands or any of that shit, no trying to escape and you listen and do what I say or else..." He took out something shining from his pocket. I looked closer and realised it was a large kitchen knife. "So let's begin..."
