Sacrifice

As Morgan dragged her from the shelter, Pippa saw that the children of the clan had gathered outside. They stared as Morgan shifted her hold of Pippa's throat to the back of her neck. "Attention!" the Master shouted. "This girl will be our sacrifice. We will kill her tomorrow."

The children gazed at her silently. They didn't seem to mind that somebody was about to be murdered.

"Aaron, Martin," Morgan called. "Lock her up. Don't hurt her too badly, please."

She shoved Pippa at Aaron, siezed her and knocked her to the ground. Pippa felt warm blood dripping felt her nose, which was throbbing with pain. Martin grabbed hold of her and punched her in the stomach, laughing as she tried to block him. Aaron grabbed hold of her arms as so Martin could strike her again...again...again. Pippa was beginning to lose conciousness as the boys began to touch her again, this time in places she thought no one would ever touch.
