\nRobert comes wordlessly back to his chair and settles in. I peek at him through my eyelashes and catch him looking at me from the corner of his eye he face almost devoid of expression. Visions of white slavery and rape race through my mind and I begin to feel even more panicked.<\/p>\n

I hear a noise and look up to see Boomer heading back to the barn with the ammunitions belts, torches and guns in his arms. He disappears inside and the music begins again. I look up to realize that Robert is once again standing and is quietly talking to Rosie.
\nHe turns and walks away as Rosie beckons me to come with her head. I hesitate watching Robert walk towards the barn and she gestures again. I get up and she leads me back to the house.<\/p>\n

Rosie\u2019s hands are covered in blood and she stops at a tap on the way to the house and once again I am full of questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cwhat the fuck was that?\u201d I demand through teeth clenched again.<\/p>\n

\u201cit is what it is Baby, you get used to it or you go away\u201d she sighs and shakes her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cget used to it?
\nGet fucking used to it?
\nAre you insane?\u201d I begin to shout\u2026<\/p>\n

Rosie grabs my face and pulls me close to hers\u2026\u201dshut your mouth little girl\u2026you are gonna get yerself in a world of hurt if you don\u2019t just shut the fuck up and watch \u2013 pay attention dammit!\u201d<\/p>\n

She pushes me towards the house and I stumble ahead of her. Once inside she takes me back to the bedroom and tells me that I need to \u201crelax\u201d and she\u2019ll she me tomorrow. She closes the door as she leaves and I hear the unmistakable sound of it locking.<\/p>\n

I realize again that I am shaking like a leaf. I stand for a minute with my forehead against the door and then slowly turn around reaching into my pocket for a cigarette.<\/p>\n

As I light up I look about taking in the room. I see that in my absence someone has made the bed, someone has also turned it down for the night and laid a nightdress out for me. I almost smile as I realize that the nightdress is just my style\u2026flannel and long, and then it occurs to me that these people know way too much about me.<\/p>\n

I peer about as if there is someone there, but there is not. I close my eyes and relive the scene I\u2019ve just witnessed outside.<\/p>\n

I decide that the only answer is to make the best of where I am, so I head for the bathroom to finish my smoke and run a bubble bath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
