"Follow me to the gym. The doc should be about ready to start gym." [quote=Caits] Cassandra screamed worldless rage, but adalinas slight whimper shattered her rage. Suddenly she was four years old again, at the mercy of her father. His fists coming down towards her, the whimper escaped even though she knew the noise would just make it worse, she couldn't help it....no! She was not that kid anymore. But the blood dripping off the knife...No. Do not remember that either. "Don't" she whispered, tears stinging her eyes, "leave her. I'll do what I'm told" the steady drip of blood seemed to echo in her ears. "Just don't hurt her" [/quote] Vlad patted Adalina's arm. "That wasnt so hard was it Cassandra?" Vlad asked teasingly. He leaned close and whispered in Adalina's ear. "I will have you later." He made a shallow cut into Adalina's cheek. "This is so both of your remember the cost of not following orders." He caresses the girls as he unfastens their bounds. His hands lingering longer then they should."
