She didn't have any energy to shout or scream now, she just cried and whimpered helplessly as Dave was beaten up senselessly in front of her. She couldn't see the blood gushing out of his forehead and turned her eyes away. She was still hanging there with her eyes closed when she felt the whip landing on her. A raspy shriek came out of her raw throat as the whip took her top skin off, inflicting deep pain to her. But she knew Dave had no option now, Thomas would kill him if he didn't whip her. She stifled down her pain, not wanting Dave to break down.
