Chapter 8

God, my head is pounding like you wouldn’t believe. I force myself to open my eyes, my throat feeling sore and

completely dry as I lick my chapped lips, confused and disorientated. Where was I, I wondered, looking around the

room, realizing it was mine. But how had I gotten here? I distinctly remember being hit on the head by father

downstairs and then nothing. I was certain I had fallen unconscious from the pain in my head. So who had put me to bed? I doubted it was father, but it was equally astonishing to think my brother Damien would show that much care

towards me. But he was the only one who could have possibly done it and I feel a small bit of gratefulness towards

him.

I feel the back of my hair and can tell it’s matted with dried blood and I groan, it’s going to take forever to get it all out and I’m hoping I won’t have to do something horrible like cut it. It’s taken forever for me to grow it as long as
