Shiver., Kate [read me a book .TXT] 📗

I begged but his hand muffled my mouth. Mama, I screamed after biting the hand away. I keep kicking and scratching but it didn’t stop him. My name was called beside me, and I looked over at it but I didn’t see anyone. My eyes blinked open and I saw my mother with tears in her eyes.

“Ivy, Ivy, calm down, Ivy,” my mother soothed between her sobs. I panted until I could breathe regularly again. My hands raked through my sweaty hair, a habit of mine, even when I’m scared you can count on me to do that. My hands went down and grabbed my mothers, to stop her from crying, then I hugged her, but this time I didn’t know if it was for her or if I just needed a hug. Quickly enough however I pulled back and put on my mask of no emotions.

"Go away, please, I need to be alone," I whispered in a soft tone so she wouldn't be hurt by my choice of words.
