Chapter 12 The Monster's Mercy
- Theo continued to wipe me, his eyes showed no mercy. I kept screaming, crying, and pleading but he refused. He flogged me till he was satisfied and let me loose.
- I lay on the bed, hurt and crying. My body ached all over. I tasted blood in my mouth and felt tears on my face.
- Theo stood over me, breathing hard. His eyes still looked mean. I though he might hit me again.
