<strong>Maddy</strong><br/><br/>Maddy decided he wasn't even worth a response so she closed her mouth and starred ahead.  She knew they were going to hurt her, they were going to make her pay, Reverend (stupid name) had said he was going to whip her, ands he knew he was.  She could hear the swish and tap of the whip as he stretched himself.  Idiot, she wanted to tell him just what she thought of him.  She was trying to focus herself, to bury the fear that was pulsing through her.  But she wasn't doing very good.<br/><br/>The blocks were just another thing to use to humiliate her, the sandpaper rough and nasty.  He had pushed it under her feet and she groaned, the burns rubbing on the edge of the blocks.  She already felt her heart racing, she was so very scared.   She hated this, hated everything, already her legs were throbbing, aching....<br/><br/>She hated the way he stroked her hair, how he seemed to think he owned her.  Maddy wasn't accepting that, she would get away, she would run from here and see them rot in hell.  She had to cling to that, if she didn't she would crumple, she was stronger than that, she was stronger then them and she would prove it.<br/><br/>Count? Thank him?  He must be fucking crazy to thinks he was going to do that.  She would never do any of that.  She was firm in her refusal.  Until the first lashes hit her and she screamed loudly, her head coming up, eyes wide and tears crashing from her cheeks.  She cried loudly, then remembered, she couldn't bare too many of these.  “One...thank you” she sobbed, her voice quivering.<br/><br/>When he touched her she cried out again, it hurt, oh god it hurt, it burnt through her and she whimpered, her body trembling as she tried to pull away from his touch.  She couldn't see what he was doing, all see could do was face the wall, but even that was obscured by her tears.  The stinging grew worse as he rubbed the vinegar soaked cloth, her screams filled the room and she struggled, “fuck you, screw you I am not going to tell you anything” she sobbed, fighting all the way....<br/><br/>Then he offered Jonsey a go and  she relaxed, she knew he couldn't be trusted but he was even getting to her, maybe he wasn't as bad as the rest.  Maybe he would be gentle with the whip...
