Cassie gasped and freaked out as she saw Toni get abused so badly. Her heart sank and she got sick to her stomach. "I'm so sorry Toni," she whispered to her friend. The abuse was all her fault and the guilt overrode her want to fight. "I'm sorry I called you a pit bull, please just stop, she doesn't deserve it. Just please stop hurting her, she's been through enough already. If you want to take it out on me, fine, but please leave Toni alone." Sje looked up at her captor, her eyes red from crying, "Can you at least promise me one thing? Can you assure me that the three of us get out of this alive? Just that one guarantee and then I have a proposition for you." Cassie had to get the heat off Toni, and if that meant sacrificing herself, she would do it so Toni could at least have some sort of a respite from all o the abuse.
