Serenia was scared. She had been practicing and practicing. It sounded like she was going to have to practice every day after school.
Every time she fell, Larry would get mad at her He would grab her roughly by the arm and make her try again. She could fake that she was falling, but how long could this go on before he just killed her out of impatience? Yes, she knew who he was. She had dreams every night. She thought that ice skating would be fun at first, but now it was becoming a literal nightmare.
She slowly got up and tried to skate again. Her muscles were sore, and she wasn't sure if she could handle much more of this. It was like a torture she had never known existed.
