The cage door opened.

“Come out here.”

The girl shrank back. But not too far. She didn’t want to annoy him. It was easy to do and when he was annoyed, things got worse.

“Come on then, out you come.”

She kept her eyes down. She had to please him but knew never to look him in the eye. Eye contact was insolence and she learned about insolence very early on.

“Good girl. Stand up straight. That’s it. I can see all of you now. Beautiful.”

She kept her eyes down. The room felt warmer.

“Time to clean you up. Just look at you, you’re filthy. How did you manage to get so dirty?”

She knew better than to answer him. He didn’t want a response.

She jumped back, startled when his slender fingers grabbed her wrist. His grip tightened like a vice, locking around tiny bones and sending a deep throb through her arm.

His jaw clenched taut.

She didn’t look up to his eyes.

“Now then, it’s only a clean. You want to look pretty don’t you?”

She nodded. Eyes down.

She saw the bowl, soapy water and a large pink bath sponge.

“Come here then, let’s get you cleaned up.” His grip loosened.

She tried her hardest not to flinch as he took the sponge, dipped it in the warm soapy water and started to wipe her clean. He started at the top, wiping her face, rubbing at areas, tutting at her as he rubbed hard. Areas she knew were really dirty. Or bloody. The warmth of the water felt good. It was gentle and soothing. It caressed her skin and made her feel again. She wanted to sit in this warmth, soak in the small bowl.

“Good isn’t it?”

She stiffened.

He dipped the sponge again, dripping water around her neck and rubbing. The friction caused her to jump, the rubbing making her eyes water. The sponge dipped in and out of the bowl as he cleaned her from top to bottom. Dipping and rubbing until all dirt and blood was washed away.

“There’s my good girl. Now, time for some photographs.”
