Nothing But A Bet

“And then she ruined everything!”

Susan’s crazed eyes shone at Reyona in the dark.

She could see the way Allysyn jolted even though she couldn't see the girl’s face.

“Please, make this stop” Reyona prayed in desperation as she continued trying to move her hands.

At one point, she thought she felt the tie on the right hand slacken but soon realised it was just her imagination.

The hands were tied separately and so tightly that she couldn't even move them an inch from the spot they were.

At this point, her tears were mingling with her snot as she kept her eyes pinned on the spot where the girl stood rigidly while her crazy mother kept prattling on about how Reyona took everything from her and ruined her life.

“You were nothing but a bet, you know. I could see your stupid virginal look in that gym that day and I told Tommy to ask you out. It was all a lie! I was behind every step of it the entire time.”

Reyona was no longer surprised by anything again at that point.
