Chapter 16
Abigail.
I couldn’t believe it I had just threatened to show my monstrous side to the man that kept putting her in that cage and she laughed this girl really was amazing before I could say or do anything to respond to her laughing her head was tucked in to my shoulder and she had started snoring.
The two men up front must have noticed this and the rest of the drive took place in silence.
Carrying jess up to the room that we shared was straight forward I knew from past experience that I wouldn’t be able to leave her now so as Paul drove away and I began to clime the stairs that would take Jessica and I to seclusion I asked walker to let nixe and lunette know how this evening went. They knew that they could not disturb us once I shut the bedroom door what happened in their is something that I wouldn’t let anyone else see. Jess did’t need the look’s of pitty or sadness that would accompany the discovery.
I lay jess on the bed and as she slept I cleaned her wounds I knew it was unnecessary but I had to do something to feel useful to her she wouldn’t wake from the treatment I would give her so I started to methodically clean and Dres the scrapes and cuts that covered her getting a bowl of water I cleaned the dried blood from her hairline and trued my best to clean her as I changed her in to soft clean cloth’s. The process didn’t take long but to me it felt like an eternity.finishing this ritual I settled her under her blanket. I Sid into the bed with her and she had soon cuddled in to my body making her self as small as passible while still maintaining as much contact with me as she could.
It broke my heart to see her like this, she is such a strong independent worrier she wouldn’t be broken by this. I will stand beside her and protect her from everything I can but this was a battle I couldn’t defend her from.
She began to shake and moan that’s when I knew the nightmares had began. I knew that no matter how hard I tried to wake her nothing could break her from her dreams so I did the only thing I could and held her wishing I could experience this trial for her.
