CHAPTER 48.

  ~Gabby's POV~

I was still in shock from the information the witch had given me. I couldn't believe it but something didn't make sense.

A lot of it didn't make sense.

"I don't understand," I said and closed my eyes as I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Your parents asked for a poison to be mixed into the blend. They have been feeding you this potion since you were little."

"How? I don't remember eating or drinking-"

"It had to enter the bloodstream," she said and leaned forward.

My eyes widened and the realization hit me. If I had eaten it or drunk it, it wouldn't have entered my bloodstream. The only way for it to enter my bloodstream would be through my veins.

"The whipping," I gasped.

She bowed her head but averted her eyes.

They had laced the belt with the potion and whipped it into my bloodstream.

"The extraction," I said and looked at her.

I was pushing down the tears, seriously fed up with the crying.
