Chapter Six:
Mercy
When Eve left, I was not sure if I was more scared of her or the idea of being alone and defenseless again. In my mind, all I could think of was that she was a total badass, but in reality, she was a cold-blooded killer.
I could not be mad at her. She did just defend me and probably saved my life. He would have made my life miserable; there was no doubt about it. I also think that I have seen him pimp girls out before. Sleep was not going to come to me tonight, or any night soon. So I thought, until I dozed off. I woke up as someone dropped a warm blanket over me. Startled, I backed away from the older woman who was covering me up with a concerned look on her face.
âItâs alright. I just wanted to check on you.â She spoke softly. âI told your friend that I would keep an eye on you.â Smiling kindly, she reminded me of what a normal grandmother must look like. Not that I knew what normal was. She shuffled out of the room as I snuggled up into the blanket. My nether region was sore and achy. What if he had gotten me pregnant? What if I got some kind of STD? What if this was always going to be my existence, and I was never going to have a conventional sex life now that he had desecrated me? So many questions overloaded my mind, but no answers accompanied them.
The sun was shining in the window of my room when I woke up the next morning. Thankfully, Eve had grabbed my bag and belongings from the other building, so I didn't need to go out today at all. I had water and some cereal bars that she had given me. Hopefully, she wouldnât worry about me, I just didnât have it in me to leave the confines of this safe place, and to be honest, I didnât have it in me to face her today. I loved her for taking care of the threat, but the fact remained that she scared the ever-living fuck out of me.
I slept most of the day away, and my body seemed to crave the rest. Utter exhaustion took me over clear into the next day. I was stiff when I finally stood up but thankful that I hadn't been bothered. I stepped outside to a dreary sky. It was overcast, and there were storm clouds on the horizon. Taking a deep breath, I smiled, loving the smell of this kind of weather. Storms always fascinated me. The electricity, the power, the sensation of being swept away. I knew most people thought I loved a dreary life, but I was thankful each morning that I woke up and had survived another day. I never took life for granted.
I wanted to go see Eve. I felt guilty that I hadn't properly thanked her. She must have thought that I was angry with her, having stayed away for the day.
