When you need something from me, you're all over me, and when you're done, you say I'm the one disrespecting you! Pfft!" He was a rough man, and if she said he was mistreating her, then he would show her what mistreatment really felt like! Maybe it was the force behind that slap he had just delivered, or perhaps the despair of knowing this was all under Everett's orders. Either way, Heather felt a buzzing in her ears, rendering her deaf to the world.
Her body, being pinched and bitten by the man, couldn't even register the pain anymore! One thought dominated her mind—the knife she had driven into Everett should have been more forceful, more brutal! So severe that he couldn't have survived, so grave that he would have died on the spot! Then, she wouldn't have to suffer like this, wouldn't have to struggle so desperately to keep living.

To follow Everett in death would have been her heart's desire.
