Jun. 16th, 2006 08:12 pmThe water's colder than she's used to, but in this heat that's no problem, and it's the noise the spray makes that she needs. She can't stop herself crying, but damned if he's going to hear her. How can someone be so- everything he says, and does seems calculated to hurt her or make her angry, and when its this violent, anger itself hurts.
Shelley sits on the floor of the shower, not even bothering to try and stop herself sobbing. She can't just carry on as normal forever, and here's there isn't even Loira to talk to. No Abdiel to play with and take her mind off things.
And even if she avoids him the entire time, there's still the reminder of her binding oath - the black mark circling her finger.
Her throat hurts and the water is running nearly cold by the time the girl stops crying, and she reaches up to shut it off, shivering. Well. She feels calmer, if shaky, and oddly blank.
Slowly she stands, and gets out of the shower.
