Caleb's POV
"Now son, I know you have to eat in order to live but, don't you think this is a bit much?" Hearing his voice next to my ear and his grip tighten on my shoulder I start trembling. "Sir- I-" "Shhh" as I was cut off I knew to immediately shut up. The silence in the room was now suffocating and filled with his soft steps moving towards in front of me.
Knowing what was to come I shut my eyes. In response I fell to the floor with a red liquid running down my nose. Shocked in the moment I stayed still collecting my thoughts. No matter how angry he had been towards me, he never hit my face. So why now? Has he finally reached his limit?
As I get lost in my thoughts I fail to notice him grab a nife. Only knowing what it was until he held it in front of my face. My eyes growing wide and my fear taking over. I stay still. Father's smirking face being the reason of my misery, he walked behind me and pulled my shirt from the top, using the nife to cut it through the middle while ocasionally cutting my skin along with the material.
The amount of lust radiating through him filling my senses. No, please no! Not you too Dad! As tears gushed through my eyes I felt a repeat of what happened at Mike's place. Except, Mike was filled with pure lust towards me, and father's lust was filled with hate and torture towards me. I drift off into my head, giving him what he wants while I think of what I want. Freedom. To escape. To never be near any human ever again.
I am again left on the floor with nothing to cover me. Or so I thought. Father turned back towards me punching and kicking me to a pulp. This time avoiding the face. "You better not heal this. You think I didn't notice that this time you looked at me straight in my eyes instead of avoiding me? Know your place bitch". Realizing my mistake I remembered my father's biggest reason for his actions towards me. Why he treats me like he does. Why he protects me this way. He loves me and doesn't want me to lose my soul. I slowly smiled through the pain and looked at my father's shoes avoiding his gaze "Of course sir, thank you"
