JASMINE'S POV
When I saw him, I had a sudden surge of emotions.
Surprised, confused, and elated.
Why had he come? And how had he even known that I was in trouble?
I knew that he didn't want me dead because he wanted to keep punishing me, but seeing him at the door.
I didn't know how to feel.
The girls all froze once they saw him.
"What is going on here?" That was all he said.
They quickly withdrew from me and jumped off.
I sat up slowly and weakly.
I could feel the bruises and my bottom lip bleeding.
Plus, my forehead hurt badly.
The girls were vividly shaking and stood with their eyes downcast.
"I asked a question." He said. "What is going on here?"
It was like his voice had only further scared them, and now they were shaking.
"We were just teaching her a lesson." The girl who first attacked me said,.
"A lesson." Xaden asked as he walked further into the room.
