Unknown Nu you’re okay…I can’t tell you how thankful I a you safe?

My heart fell off its pedestal, splattering on the floor I was okay I was stronger than I looked, but I wasn’t as brave as I believed

I coughed again, wracked with sick shivers

Jethro, I want to tell you everything

Tell you what you mean to me

Tell you what they’ve done to me

I wanted to cry on his shoulder and share h, so I could let go and forget Instead, I bottled it up and kept my secrets

Needle&Thread: Yes, I’m safe She’s been wonderful They haven’t touchedthe truth from Jethro was the least I could do for him I shuddered, unable to stop the memories of what’d happened once I’d been strapped to the Iron Chair

The Black Diamond brothers entered an hour into ainst Cut’s command to leave me be Apart from Flaw, I hadn’t spoken to any of the brothers since the shooting They’d been ordered to keep their distance, cutting ht’ve found

Dinner was served and I squirht pushed me slowly onto the spikes The burn of each spread into one blanket of painful horror

Blood smeared the arms of the chair and I didn’t dare look at the floor to see if I dripped over the carpet I was hot and cold, covered in sweat and goosebuh hn arrived

His eyes e "Fuck! Let her go!" Charging up the rooed to sucker punch Cut in the jaw before anyone reacted

"V, don’t!" Part of me loved that he’d landed one on Cut The other was horrified "I’ bastard!" V swung again but ers for the Black Dia didn’t do any good

Co Grunts echoed

"Stop! Please stop!"

They didn’t stop
