“You’re a lying whore!” someone shouted from the crowd.
“You’re sleeping with their dad,” a second person jeered. “Admit it! Brian Amhurst is fucking both you and your mom.”
“That’s not true!” I screamed. “Say whatever you want to say about me, but keep Brian and my mom out of –”
My words were cut off by the splash of something cold and slimy pouring on me from the ceiling.
A reeking stench wafted in my nostrils, making me gag. I raised my hand, staring at the way it was painted in a dark red gooey liquid.
Jeers, boos, and wild, raucous laughter rang out in the room.
I blinked, feeling the repulsive blood-like liquid pouring down my head and onto my lashes, cheeks, and lips.
Blood-like?From the way I was reeking, ithadto be blood of some kind.
Within seconds, my dress was soaked.
Blood pounded in my ears so hard, I could barely hear what the crowd was mouthing at me. Most of the people gathered here tonight were past their fifties, and yet, they were enjoying my humiliation.
No one came forward to help me or put a stop to this.
Noah pulled a “Carrie” on me.
At that moment, I truly wished for mental powers that could bring down the elegant domed ceiling on the Amhurst brothers and everyone who laughed at me.
Cold dampness spread along my skin. The impulse to retch and heave was overwhelming. Yet, I stood frozen on the stage, unable to move a muscle.
“Milla...Milla...” a familiar voice chanted my name.
I slowly turned around, coming face to face with Luke.
“Snap out of it,” he commanded in a loud voice.
I blinked, still dazed.
“We’ve got to get her out of here,” said a female voice this time.
I turned toward the direction of the voice.
Julie looked utterly horrified. Wyatt stood next to her, his face pale and anxious.
I felt someone throw a warm coat around my shoulders.
“Come on,” said Luke, wrapping an arm around my waist. “We’re going.”
Wyatt and Julie surrounded me, using their bodies to shield me from the crowd that was still laughing, jeering, and calling me whore.
“Faster,” I heard Luke’s grim voice. “She’s not breathing.”
I wasn’t?
Was that the reason I was wheezing and feeling like my chest was about to burst open from an internal pressure?
I tried to breathe but the stench wafting from my clothes and skin made me stop attempting it.
“She’s about to pass out,” Julie’s concerned voice sounded next to me. “Shit.”
Black shadows crept along the edges of my vision. I closed my eyes, willing the darkness to drown me.
