An hour earlier, this man had broken into her house and assaulted her - nearly killed her - essentially kidnapped her, and she just hoped she hadn't insulted him by not taking his hand...<br/><br/>She watched as James entered a code into a keypad and opened the door for her. She nodded gratefully at him as she entered the house. It wasn't exactly welcoming, but Karina didn't know what else to expect. It looked like it hadn't been used in a long time. She shuddered at the thought of what kind of bugs might be hiding in the crevices.<br/><br/><em>Please don't let there be spiders...</em>She thought as she watched James walk to an island and pull out a first aid box. Clearly he had been here before. He pulled out a bottle and opened it, taking a large drink of whatever was inside. She wondered what it was, and if it was even safe to be drinking. She said nothing, though.<br/><br/><em>"Come here, let's get your hand cleaned up properly."</em>He said. Karina bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. She didn't want him to touch her, but he was right. It might not have been a life-threatening wound, but she couldn't let it get infected. Cleaning it herself probably wouldn't be an issue, but bandaging it with just one hand would probably be a little difficult.<br/><br/>Karina let out a breath and joined James at the island counter. Finally, she let go of the knife she had been holding onto. Not having it in either hand felt strange, but only for a few moments. She grabbed a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide and poured some of the liquid onto the wound. A pained whimper escaped her lips and she gritted her teeth, slamming the bottle on the counter.<br/><br/>"Блядь!" She hissed angrily. Karina took a deep breath, then slowly held her hand out towards James. She was visibly shaking - both from the stinging pain and the fear of needing him to touch her again.<br/><br/><em>Please don't let this time be as bad... Please...</em><br/><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Translation</div><div class="spoiler_body">Блядь! - Fuck!</div></div>
