Nyla was worried that Leslie would be mad at her for what happened. She was used to people being mad at her for no reason. She didn't see talking to the boy named Les as something bad. Yet for some reason her father flew into an almost drunken rage when she talked to him. Why did people have to tell him things? Why? It made things horrible for her. She presssed into his warm body as he curled it around her. Shaking a bit and whimpered again. "I'm scared. I'm really scared." She said to answer his first question. Biting her lower lip and pressed into him more. She heard the almost gasp like sound he made. She was scared to tell him yet needed to do so. He and Erika were the only ones she could trust besides the mysterious boy who talked with her on the outskirts of town near the woods.<br/><br/>She nodded her head in his fur to the fourth question. Someone had attacked her....her own father. She wondered sometimes if her daddy hated her because of her weak heart. That made her form weak and frail. "Daddy was mad at me again." She said in a faint voice. "Someone told him I was talking with Les again. The nice boy who talks with me on the outskirts of the town near the woods." She started out in a soft whisper. Knowing that they would hear her. "He came home mad...." She said. Whimpering again. "Daddy started hitting me. He backhanded me hard against the neck. Then he jerked me up by a fistful of my hair. Shaking me with my hair in his hold." She said softly. "Then he shoved me backwards. When I got up he punched me in the stomach. It made me double over. My chest started hurting. He punched me in the face too..."<br/><br/>She continued talking even though telling him had her quivering like a leaf in tornado winds. She paused for a second. "He grabbed me by my arms and was shaking me. He backhanded me hard again so hard I flew sideways to the ground. I hit it hard. Everything hurts Leslie...it all hurts." She was crying again and clinging to him gently but tightly. Not like her form had the strength to have a punishing hold on him. She had answered Erika's questions too. "Don't make me go back right now Leslie..." She said softly. "Please..." Pleading with him to keep her safe. She trusted Leslie and Erika immensely. They were the only people she could trust besides that boy Les. She hadn't put together that Leslie and Les were one in the same.
