Blessing in disguise (Miette)

I sat in front of Sasha who was tied in the chair. I was still scared of her but she just seemed to be in so much pain.

Reo couldn’t care less about what happens to her, but I did… she could have been useful but rather than that there was something about her that gave me the image of a small child in her.

“You think you can make me talk? I could have killed you”

I looked at her with pity in my eyes. I took a chair and sat near her. I touched her face, which was still swollen around the eyes and chin.

“It must have hurt, right ?”

“Do-don’t touc-”

“He is not like this, you know, he just cares about me a little too much. Like you, I had a bad relationship with my parents as well, but now that they are gone, I regret every moment I did not spend with them when I could have”

Silence fell upon Sasha.
