violets

Riley looks back smiles a disgustingly pleased grin and leaves her there.

After a few seconds Violet slides down from the table onto the floor. Tucking her knees to her chest she silently cries for herself. Begging it's not his seed that takes in her womb.

She sat under the table for a bout 10 minutes when she hears footsteps entering the room. They stop in the door way.

Please don't be Riley again. Squeezing her eyes shut, she was begging for it not to be Riley. She tucked her legs in closer, sinking more into herself. Waiting for a hand to jerk her out from under the table.

But it never came.

She opened her eyes to find Jeremy sitting on the floor next to her.

"I hate him ya know?"

Startled by the sudden confession she was speechless. Riley's never expressed any real emotion.

Hate was an emotion.

"I do, I really hate him." Jeremy sighed "I can smell him all over you in you."

"Oh. Yeah…" Violet said drawing little circles on her knees with her finger tips.

"I don't like it"

Even more startled by that confession she peaked a glance at his face. He was laying down now, his arms and legs stretched out. Wearing a pair of black joggers and white tshirt.

"Why don't you stop it then?" She asks him.

"Because I can't. None of us effectively can. Until you're pregnant you belong to all of us. He can do what ever he wants to you, short of killing you," Jeremy answered with a ping of sadness in his tone.

"Violets" she said suddenly.

"Huh?" Jeremy asked confused.

"Remember my second night here? When you took me into your garden and asked me what flower I liked the most?" She said enthusiastically "i said I would let you know when I could better see them. The violets."

She was glowing a little with her happiness. Jeremy took the small woman's happy glow in and for a moment it lit up his world. He sat up looking at her with the eagerness of a child.

"You planted them for me didn't you?"

Jeremy looking at her amazed at how she could still be so optimistic and observant even after dealing with what she does from Riley.

"Let me show you something else"
