LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN

I woke up when the needle pierced my flesh. Memories of what happened before I was knocked out made me flinch. My hand roamed down to my mound and over my chest. I was no longer naked. There were clothes covering my body and I appreciated the fabric that now covered me. After taking a few breaths, I let my fingers slide in my panties as I probed my sex. It was evident that I hadn’t been raped. My finger invading that space was uncomfortable and Maurice was well endowed. If he had raped me, I would be ripped and bleeding, like I used to be. When I called Skin, on his claim of ownership I hadn’t expected him to hear me or save me. The sick bastard must have been nearby watching and listening.

Did Mark keep Maurice from raping me? He never listened to Mark before when he wanted to slide between my thighs. What happened while I was knocked out.

Skin smiled. “Don't look so alarmed. It was just a little Demerol.”

My eyelashes fluttered closed as he donned some new bright green neon latex gloves. “What kind of surgeon are you? I know that you're a medical doctor. I just don't know your specialty.”

Instead of answering the question he rolled me on my stomach then started stitching my back. “We're not besties. Just because I'm going to kill you, doesn't mean that you get to know anything about me. Knowledge is power and you will die powerless like you were growing up in St Agatha’s Hope Homecare.”

I flinched. I buried my face deeper into the blanket. Focusing on the pain was much easier than dealing with the emotions that bubbled to the surface with his remarks. Regardless of what Skin did, he wouldn’t get any answers from me. There were some things that I would die rather than talk about. My childhood was one of them.

What? How does he know about Maurice Atkins? Some secrets were buried so deep inside your soul even you didn't trust yourself with the truth.

He jerked my head up. “That place did everything but provide you hope, didn't it Ava? Be honest with your new bestie Skin. Maurice raped you, didn't he? You told the hospital that he raped you, they did the rape kit, and sent you right back to him. They also informed him that you were the one who told them about his sexual abuse.”

My lips trembled and my throat ached. I refused to cry in front of Skin. Yet my insides were being ripped to shreds.

“What did your molester do to you when he got you home? Did he rape you, beat you or threaten you? Did he give you a few days to let it sink in that no matter who you told; they would always send you back to your abuser?”

I choked on my tears. A few hours in Skin’s presence, and I was reminded that I was still that broken little girl who the world handed back to her tormentor, repeatedly.
