Another child, who’s here after hours.
Just like me.
She can’t LEAVE . She can’t leave because He trapped her here, He hurt her and left her to d i e .
Just like me.
Eliza had seen him, and she’d seen this girl too. Both of them were there when the man had hurt her. Which meant He’d hurt her too. She was stuck here.
She watches the other girl, her face expressionless. She sits in the corner of the room, shadows concealing her. Her legs are curled up, arms hugging them to her chest. She’s staring at her, eyes watchful. She opens her lips to speak, her voice is a whisper that still manages to slice through the dark.
“ He hurt me too. Do you k n o w where you are ? ”
