Prisoners

Iris's hand flew to cover her mouth to stop the sound that was about to escape. Her knees shook as she staggered backward, not wanting to see the scene that she was seeing. 

The nurse was sucking Calixto's neck as Calixto was half-cradling her in his lap. 

Iris's sight turned blurry from the tears that spilled from the corner of her eyes. She could not stop them because they just burst out before she could do anything about it. 

With her knees buckling, she turned around and dashed to the door carefully, not wanting to make a sound or anything that could announce her presence in the room. How she was able to do it, she had no idea. 

She just found herself back in her own room, diving into her bed, and lying face down. 

She remained in that position until she heard a knock on her door. 

"Who is it?" She asked in a hoarse voice. She had been silently crying as she burned her face on her mattress. 

"Elvira."
