"There is no healing of thy bruise: thy wounds are grievous..."

"Pa" Was the only thing that she could get out of her mouth when another solid blow landed by the side of her template. She groaned in pain and doubled over after the male figure stepped on her stomach. "Biko..." She pleaded, but it fell on deaf ears.
"Biko gini ehn? Please what?! When you were banging your Ma's head on the bars you didn't think of please!". The man spittled and kept beating her, his cowry necklace jingling against the other due to the sheer force of his movents. "Did you see what you did to her face?!" He pulled her up by her hair and shouted in her face, making her squeeze her eyes shut in disgust. She thought that the man had seen the disgust on her face because he slapped her. Hard.
She replied with a daunting tone, "Oh yes, I saw what I did to her face. And my was it satisfying to see the pain in her face, along with the fact that her prestige -" She drawled out and continued "- would be ruined. So yes Pa, I saw it, I did it and to say the least, it was worthwhile to see her stu -"
She was stopped by another slap, one which she saw coming, and barely managed to dodge it from hitting her eyes.
"Why you little disgrace of a daughter!"
"I'd heard it from that amunsu over there. Besides, you don't care about what she said to , so why should I care about her ugly face?"
He still held her by her hair when he said; "For soone who looks like her... For a person to be birthed by us, you are quite untad. For a female like you, you are a failure. To think we'd get a girl? Listen, child, you were never planned, never wanted by any of us. We wanted a male; a strong, healthy male child, but instead, we got you!"
She moved her nostrils from his mouth, that reeked of palm wine and kola nut. The Drunkard of a Pa she had gotten. She didn't say anything in response to his jab and kept on looking at him, indirectly telling him that he was a fool. The mockery in her eyes had been seen clearly by her Pa, and he clicked his tongue in disappointnt, before throwing her against the wall of her cell.
Her back landed against the harsh walls making her gasp in pain, as the lapper tied securely on her chest did little to protect her. She landed and bounced on the ground, and clenched her fists when she heard what her Pa had said. Of course, she didn't want to believe him, but she knew that there was no other person who knew apart from her.
"I thought that you would be useful as a female, but I was wrong. Anyways, I'd have to thank your friend for telling us about this blasphemy of a relationship going on between you and that boy". He spat out. Her Ma entered right on cue and smirked at the female lying on the ground, covered in dust.
That's where she was supposed to be‚ Her Ma thought.
Her Ma's sickening voice rang in her ears.
"Guess like you didn't know? Your little friend was the one who told us. Think about it, who else knew about your secret? No one... Am I right?". And indeed she was correct. Her Ma nodded when she didn't hear her response when she suddenly heard a small mumble, so little that you wouldn't have heard it if not for the abrupt silence that had clouded the room.
"No". She whispered to herself, still on the ground as she didn't have any strength to get up. "No, no, no, no, no". She mumbled over and over to herself, seemingly looking crazed at the insight. Her Ma and Pa looked smug at the emotion they elicited from her. Well, that was until she suddenly lunged at them.
It happened within five seconds. She reached out to grab her Ma, only for Pa to move in front of the older female and...
BOOM!
She landed roughly on the sand, making dust rise from the commotion. Her Pa had punched her and it had hurt like a bitch. She spat out blood and wiped the remaining from the corner of her lips with the back of her hands, whilst looking at them with unhinged fury.
They were about to walk out of her containnt room when they heard her say: "Both of you shall regret this. And when you die, I'll curse you to not be accepted by the ancestors, and I'll also dance on your grave".
Their heart trembled for a mont, then laughed at her and walked out, not without telling the guards that they could do whatever they wanted with her.
She slowly and achingly sat up and relaxed on the wall, using it to rest on as she breathed heavily. Was she hurt? Yes. Did she get used to it after its constant reoccurrence? Yes, she did. She closed her eyes, and so of the guards peeked at her, none being the wiser of what she was thinking not knowing that she had fallen asleep.
The two walked side-by-side in silence, although the woman was a step behind the man. All they could think of was her threat. Pfft! It's not like she could do anything right? Yes, she's as useless as ever. With that out of their mind, they went ho, oblivious of that tad bit of fear that had been embedded in their heart.
She crouched for a very long ti before her legs gave up on her making her slowly slide down to a seated posture, her legs getting dusted by the sand. With her head bent so low that her hair acted as a curtain to shield her face, she tightly gripped her hair with both hands as she thought about what they had said. It couldn't be true, yes? No! They said that for her to let down her guard, of course, they would lie about such a thing. Even though she hadn't yet visited, she knew that her friend would co.
Yes, surely she would co to see . Maybe I could ask her about what Pa and Ma had said... No! She wouldn't lie; she's sincere, so she wouldn't. She couldn't lie to her sister, to .
She didn't believe it, she couldn't believe those false talks that had been said against her sister. No, no! What she would do is to wait, and wait until she ca, then we'd talk.
And if she did tell - if what they had said was indeed true - she would regret ever being born this lifeti. I would make her pay, I swear to the gods of my land.
She sighed and bumped her head against the wall, only for her to hiss out loudly. She touched the back of her head and when she pulled back her hand, she saw a red stain in her fingers. How had I not noticed? She asked puzzled.
Then suddenly, her gaze got woozy for a second and when she blinked, it was normal. She had only hit her head, what could go wrong? At that, she blinked slowly and landed with a thump on the floor, with her blood-stained fingers in her view where she lay. Before she could close her eyes, she saw four pairs of feet in her vision, then there was a blackout.
The n outside gisted and waited for so ti longer - maybe an hour - before looking at the female resting at the wall.
The guards, when they saw her land on the ground, smiled at themselves knowingly. They all knew what they were thinking, besides, the male said that they could do whatever they wanted with her. So, of course, they would have to follow his instruction, after all, they wouldn't pass out a fresh female like her.
They all walked slowly into the room and stopped at the bars of her cage before one squatted low to have a better view of the unconscious female. One of the guards licked his lips leachorously at her bosom which was slightly exposed under the tightly wrapped lapper, and nodded whilst smiling at the others.
When the others noticed his signal, one person with the keys to the cell stepped up and inserted the key, twisting it a few tis before it opened with a click sound. They all stepped inside the female's cell and another male bent down like how the previous person did, slightly tapping the female to see if she was unconscious or if it was an act. After minutes of shaking, he decided that they were good to go.
They turned the female to be rested on her back whilst the first guard, who looked at her from outside the cell, knelt and groped her bosom
making her twitch but she remained still. They laughed to themselves at their foolish thought that if she'd been awake she would fight them, but there'd be nothing she could have done apart from shouting and trying to resist.
They were going to have fun with the little girl while it lasted.
As such, they continued their assault on her. One guard continued fondling one of her bosom, while the other took on the other by loosening the lapper. As he loosened her lapper, he brought it down to reach her stomach as their mouth gaped open and all eyes widened at what was on display.
