II. A Tortured Child
Ivory edged toward Viper and held open her mouth, gagged, and ran over to the trash can, vomiting, and dry heaving. Ivory had a hard time processing that Blue and Harley had cut out Viper's tongue.
When she finished, Harley offered her some mints, which Ivory took. When she shoved the mints into her mouth, Blue moved Viper's neck chain around, and Viper started whimpering and crying.
As Ivory put her hand out to help Viper, Blue grabbed her hand and wrapped his large arms around her.
"Do you know what time it is, Little Lady?"
"No, no, I don't," Ivory replied.
Her stomach felt empty and queasy.
Ivory heard Viper muffle, it was impossible making out what Viper had tried saying. Then, Viper spoke, and it sounded like a, "Help me."
"I think she said, 'Help me,'" Ivory said.
"Viper would never help you, Ivory, don't be gullible," Blue replied.
