A crunch of twigs and snow has me out of my hazy sleep a mere second before strong hands wrap themselves around my mouth. So strong, they stifle my breathing as at least one other person drags my feet and pulls me out of my shelter, raking me right over the cold rocks and snow. I touch the ground briefly, surrounded by the veil of night, and looming shadows of gnarled trees before they pick me up again, shoving their hands over my mouth. This time wrapping a cloth of some sort around my face and head.

I can’t even scream as I wither and panic beneath their iron grip.

“Shut the fuck up, London. Don’t make this harder on yourself.”

Nigel.

Fear winds it’s way through my gut, freezing me as I realize I am severely outnumbered and my memories of the night come swirling back. Maison never returned or checked on me, and neither did Micah—not that I expected Micah to. I finally fell asleep after crying alone for hours, trying to figure out how to face him—face both of them.

The hands gripping me are strong. Nigel’s not carrying me—his weak ass body couldn’t bear my weight—which means Ezra’s the one who hauled me over his shoulder. Then I hear Naomi’s laugh as he throws me onto the forest floor. My mouth chokes on mud as my face meets the ground with a heavy thud.

I cry out when the poorly placed gag falls out. “What are you guys doing?”

Naomi kicks me in the teeth while the other two loom above. I try to cry out, I try to scream, “Maison!”

Naomi bends down and grabs me by the hair. “Don’t try to scream, London. Don’t fight the punishment, and it will end faster. I told you not to fucking mess with them.” She throws me back down again.

They couldn’t have taken me far. “Maison,” I cry out again.

The crack of her foot to my head whips me to my side, pain radiating all the way down my spine. Blood trickles down my nose, and I can taste the metal as it falls into my mouth.

Naomi circles as I curl into a fetal position, trying to protect my head. “I told you; they can’t hear you,” she growls. “Accept your punishment and don’t lie to us again.”

I close my eyes as mud and dirt seep into them, preparing myself for what’s to come. My mouth is already pulsing and split, my heavy breath and beating heart the only sounds I can hear. My punishment, apparently, and Naomi is the judge, jury, and executioner. So I let her have me.

“It didn’t have to be this way, London,” Nigel says darkly. “You just fucked up again.”

Through swollen eyes, I see his sneering lips under the moonlight. “Fuck you, Nigel,” I cry before the three of them kick me in the ribs, and Naomi unleashes her fury. She hovers over me and punches and kicks me more times than I can count. My shirt rides up, my belly scraping against the hard ground and rocks beneath me.
