Lucy bites her tongue and balls her hands into fists. Her entire body is taunt, resisting against the control she imposes upon it. In her mind she can see the way his skin would split beneath her knuckles, the way his blood would stain her pale skin and it almost scares her how much she wants that.

He’s just a coward looking for someone smaller and weaker to beat on. Lucy’s hand curls around Jill’s wrist, biting with enough force to leave bruises alongside the ones her father put on her.
It’s the beginning of the end or the beginning of a life. Depending on how you look at it.
