The Presence In The Mirror

Isadora made her way back, cold and vulnerable, the tunic twice her size hugging her small frame.

The urge to rip the thing to shreds because it smelled like him was so tempting but that would leave her with nothing left to wear.

He probably did this on purpose knowing she couldn't get rid of it.

The disgust she felt, the burn in her chest, she was on the verge of exploding. She let him have his way... and she was just as much responsible for it.

Her body did not listen to her.

The overwhelming guilt and shame attempted to drown her, she told herself she wouldn't play his games but she played right into his fingers like he had engraved it in stone.

Her nipples were hurting, a reminder of everything she shouldn't think about. They rubbed uncomfortably on the material and disgusted her further.

The sound of a croak startled her. Lifting her gaze she found a raven perching on the hallowed tree.
