Serenia woke up and fell off the couch, and then she flew off the floor and hit the floor. Once Serenia remembered where she was, she bit her lower lip, so she wouldn't scream out.
However, when Josh woke up, he yelled out, "What the hell?!"
"Shh..." Serenia said, while she was being slapped.
Josh grabbed her while trying to hit an unseen force. Serenia looked at him, "Josh, let him get it out. You'll only get hurt."
Josh soon realized that she was right when she was thrust about, and he ended up hitting a wall.
Finally, it was over, and Serenia laid on the ground, trying to breathe.
Josh slowly got off of the floor and walked over to her, "What the hell just happened?"
Serenia sighed as she slowly stood up,"You wouldn't understand..."
"Try me." Josh said without hesitation.
"I have a connection with this kid in my class," Serenia took a deep breath, "His father beats him, sometimes whips him. I feel it." she lifted up the bottom of her shirt,s o he could the scars at the bottom of her back.
Josh hissed through his teeth and looked at the scars, "How is that possible?"
"I don't know," Serenia sighed, "I just know that this is what happens." she pointed to her face.
Josh nodded, "We need to get you some helpl."
Serenia looked at him strangely, "What help?"
"I don't know..." Josh looked uncomfortable, "Maybe you can call a cop or something..."
"Are you nuts?!" Serenia looked at him in shock, "I can't tell this to a cop! They will put me in a nut house!"
They both heard the door open and some light footsteps on the stairs. Soon, Janette was face to face with both Serenia and her son. She lightly smirked at Serenia's already bruised face, "You know, son, I would normally commend you for such great work, but we need to be careful now, don't we? We don't want anyone asking any questions. Now I do have some news that might be a little shocking."
Serenia waited patiently.
"Your ice skating teacher came by. I told him that we would no longer need his services, because I have someone much better in mind."
"What?!" Serenia looked at her in shock, "Who?"
"It is Brad's brother, who has been a pro for years. He will be a better teacher for you. Now hurry up and get dressed. You have chores to do." she clapped her hands together and walked back up the stairs.
Josh groaned, "Oh no..."
"What...what's wrong?" she looked at him with wide-open eyes.
"Uh...Brad's brother is crazy."
Serenia took a step backwards, "No offence, but your whole family is crazy, so how are you sane?"
"I'm not," Josh said simply, "I'm just not a killer."
Serenia nodded, "Makes sense. Now leave. I have to get dressed."
Josh nodded as he left her alone...
