BRUISES

"And why shouldn't I?" Felicia questioned back. "You are the sole reason my face is like this. You exposed my secret!" she yelled. When she noticed Erika wasn't planning on talking, she continued, "But I'm glad that the greatest thing you cherish has been snatched away from you. Ethan Anderson is dead."

In a blink of an eye, Erika blessed Felicia's cheek with a heavy-sounding slap.

PAK!!

The numbness that she felt from her cheek left Felicia stunned for a few seconds before she was able to get herself back together. She raised her head to face Erika's darkened blue eyes that seemed like the deep blue ocean and somehow, Felicia thought she was being drowned in the water and forgot to breathe.
