I lay on the small single bed that was now mine. It was a welcome relief to my spine after spending what seems like forever sleeping on a solid stone floor. Someone had even piled some blankets up at the end with a change of clothes. I'm assuming mum as it was already here when Ryken brought me here.

I could hear my brothers running around upstairs. Their footsteps pounding the floor. Mum yells at them to quieten down before they wake Braelyn.

Closing my eyes, a smile appears on my face. I was still alive. Still breathing. Maybe I could find a way to keep it that way. Maybe I just do everything that they ask me too and they will forget about punishing me.

I hear the handle on my door turn and my eyes shoot open. One of my brothers is standing on the stairs, staring at me. I'm not even sure which one. They both had blonde ringlets framing their eyes.
