BRUISED

Leira was shocked when she was with Dennise, filled with bruises. Denver was holding a whip, but it was not just some normal whip. It was a tortoise tail- they said it was very painful the moment it hit your skin. 

Dennise wailed every time it hit her skin. Liera couldn't take it anymore, she felt like it was more painful for her than with Dennise. She didn't realize the tear fell down her eyes. 

"Denver, stop it!" She yelled, expecting him to notice her and stop hurting Dennise. Yes, he stopped for a moment and looked at Leira. 

"Leira, just get out of here. It's between me and my sister. She needs to learn," Denver said. 

Leira shook her head and couldn't believe what Denver had been saying much more than what she has just seen. Her heart broke into pieces with the sight of Dennise. 

"Denver, she is old enough to know if what she was doing, right or wrong!" Leira screamed.
