CHAPTER 12

Just wash your body as fast as possible and get out of here, Breeze thought as she stood outside the running stream of water, staring at the disgusting shower stall. The stained tile made her think it had never been cleaned and the fact that she had nothing to cover her feet made her cringe. Still, she stepped inside, knowing that her options were limited. She gasped in surprise at the coldness that hit her skin. Apparently, warm water is a luxury too, she thought. She held the tiny piece of bar soap in her hand that they had given her upon her arrival and tried her best to create a foamy lather. It wasn’t much. In fact, the cheap soap didn’t lather at all, but it was all she had so she didn’t complain. Breeze wet her hair, letting the water rinse through it. She wished that she could rinse her worry away, but anxiety held her captive and there was no escaping it.

She heard the chatter of girls around her and she tried to drown out the noise. She tried to allow the power of her mind to take her outside these walls. She was so alone. No allies, no family, no friends. Inside, all she had was herself.

Breeze scrubbed her body as best she could, using her hands as the towel since she couldn’t afford to purchase one. She had the bare necessities, but when the tiny, sample-sized bar disappeared, she cut off the water. An eerie feeling swept over her as she frowned. There was no gossip, no loud singing from the fat lady who always put on a concert during wash time, not even the sound of the other showers running. She reached to pull back the shower curtains but before she could, she was bum rushed. Breeze was pushed against the wall as blows rained down on her. She tried to block the assault, but being cornered didn’t leave her room to defend herself. She curled up in a ball and tried to shield her stomach, to no avail. The kicks to her bulging stomach vibrated through her entire body and fear filled her.

God please make it stop, she thought. She caught a blurry glimpse of her attacker as she fled away. She was shaking, bleeding, and as she came up on all fours she crawled across the grimy floor. “Help me,” she cried, blood leaking from her mouth. She stood slowly, surprised that her legs would even carry her, but the stabbing pain that shot through Breeze made her double over. She placed a hand on her swollen belly as thunder seemed to strike within her. Something was wrong. It felt like someone was tearing her in half. She drew in a sharp breath as wetness seeped between her thighs. She shuddered as she waited for the feeling to pass, but it only intensified, making her hold her breath to try to ease the sharp discomfort.

“Agh!” she whispered as she gripped the mold-covered shower wall.
