They Are Close Enough

"Please, I don't know anything."I sobbed and he grabbed the metal stick from the burning flame."Oh really?"He asked his voice sly and harsh. I nodded as the tears flowed down my cheeks and he balled my hair up in his fist."I don't exactly believe you, my dear. And now you'll be punished."He exclaimed and pressed the metal against the skin behind my ear. I screamed in pain and he pulled me towards him."Now you'll forever know, you belong to me.""Amelie!"Mathew yelled as he shook my shoulders. I blinked and stared at him.My cheeks felt wet and my eyes stung. I knew I had been crying. I was used to this feeling.He pulled me into his chest and held me tightly."You were crying and begging."He whispered.I wiped away my tears and curled up next to him as he held me closely.I answered"I had a nightmare. That's all." ."It was about them wasn't it?"He asked and I nodded."I'll make them pay." He vowed and pulled me closer.
