She’s laying on the ground, naked. Her body is covered in bruises and cuts. Her wrists bare bruises and red marks from the bandana. There’s blood running down her legs as she cries silently as she looks at her cut up clothes that are strewn about the ground. She looks up at the sky and sees the sun is starting to set.She shakily gets to her feet. Then starts to slowly collect and put her clothes on. She stumbles through the forest and back to the camp.She makes it to the leader’s cabin. She knocks on the door and Michael opens the door quickly. She is standing there with her arms wrapped around herself. He sees the blood and her torn clothes. He looks at her with worry and shock.
“What happened,” He asks quietly.
“He….He,” She answers barely a whisper. He looks at her more worried.
“Okay, go get cleaned up and then we can talk more about this,” He says as he motions her to the bathroom. She shakily walks to the bathroom. She steps into the bathroom and looks into the bathroom. She sees the mud and twigs in her hair. Her clothes are cut up and covered in blood and mud. She starts the shower. Turning it on as hot as she can. Tears run down her face as she does so. She slowly strips her clothing and steps into the shower. She curls into a ball under the water, letting it hit her. The water stings and turns her body red like a lobster. She silently cries as she watches the blood, mud and twigs run down the drain. Her tears mix with the water that runs down her face. Michael knocks on the door.
“I bought some clothes,” He says as he peeks in. He then enters and sets the clothes on the sink. He sees her curled up in the shower and turns off the shower head. Then turn the faucet on. Letting the tub fill. He collects the shampoo, condictionar, a cup and body wash close by. He looks at her and notices all her injuries.
“Is it ok if I wash your hair,” He asks gently and she gives him a skittish nod. He grabs the cup and gently pours water over her head. She jumps a little at the sudden feeling of the water. He gently applies the shampoo and gently cleans her hair. He passes her a washcloth so she can wash herself. He turns away and leaves the room as she does so. He goes and grabs a first aid kit. He returns and she is wrapped in a towel. She is looking at the clothes. It’s one of Michael’s shirts, a pair of underwear from a female counselor, and a feminie product. He sets the first aid kit down on the toilet and starts to gather bandages and ointment. She steps back in fear. He shows her that he isn’t going to hurt her and calms her down. Then she lets him treat her wounds after she slips the protected underwear on. She covers her top half as he treats her. He gets her bandaged and treated. Then he leads her to the living room. He leaves and grabs a blanket. He comes back with it and gives it to her. She then wraps it around herself. She then curls into a ball and he heads into the kitchen. He comes out with a warm cup of Honey Chamomile tea and he also brings more honey with it. He sets it down in front of her. She looks at it with empty eyes.
“Okay. Care to talk about it,” He asks gently.
“Wolf. He….,” She whispers.
“I understand now,” He says as he nods, “Get some rest.”
She nods and lays down. She starts silently crying as she lays there. She can hear Michael on the phone in the next room. She starts to drift when she hears a car pull up to the cabin. She then looks out of the blanket and sees red and blue flashing lights.
