Without Rhythm (The Lament)
“It was a little deeper than the one on her arm, but even she could tell they were just scratches. She'd have bled to death if they weren't. It was too dark to see them but when she let her fingers go over the wounds it was sticky, not wet. Hopefully that was a good sign.
The ride wasn't pleasant, but a big part of that was the whining from the back of the wagon. The man, still really drunk from the sound of him, kept complaining that his mouth hurt. Worse, he kept trying to blame her for it.
"Y...ou knocked me down and stomped my head. Stole my damned teeth." There was a lot of lisping involved, but she didn't make fun of him or try to debate the idea with him. He'd no doubt try for revenge later in the camp. Hopefully she could get put in one that wasn't near where he was. If that happened she didn't doubt the man would eventually kill her. He didn't threaten to right then, but he was surely acting like he would have done that to the woman he was raping earlier.
