          IRIS' POV

            After the boys came into my room to check how I was doing, I realised it was past midnight so I took a long warm bath since I haven't been clean for the past two days. When I finished, I walked to the mirror above the faucet to look at my neck expecting to see a lot of scars and bruises from the previous set of choke holds and bite mark I had but none of what I was expecting was there, my neck looked normal, no scars, no nothing.

            It was really surprising to me because I was really sure I was going to have a lot of scars but I didn't. I decided to shrug it off and walked out with my towel wrapped tightly around my body, after drying myself I wore my night gown for the first time since I bought it , it was a baby blue color and silky. I walked to my full length mirror to look at my reflection as a million questions ran through my head.

          Why did my parents die?

          Why did my brother die?

           Why did I cut myself?

           Why did I go insane after my parents died?

          Why did my ex boyfriend beat me most times when we were still together?

           Why was I cheated on?

           Why am I kidnapped?

           Why was I bitten?

           Why does a Bennu want me?

           Why did I never meet any of my grandparents?

           Where did Jeffrey, my second father figure, disappear to on the day of my parents death?

            Why do I have white hair?

            Why was I bullied about the color of my hair, eyes and race when I was still a child?

            Why am I angry most times?
            
            Why does everyone end up leaving me?
       
            Why is my life a disaster?
