i wrote this yesterday but didn't get it posted. my sisters are driving me nuts. One is half a step from the loony bin, the other is about to go to jail. *sigh*
The stool was a device John designed. It was intended to hold an object inside an offender while he was free to administer punishment to other areas of the body. Most often the object was a slightly modified cattle prod or an enormous dildo. In my case, it a portion of the broken pool stick.
i'll spare you the details, and just tell about the aftermath and resulting trip to visit George.
Benny collected us from the back room. By then Kayla could stagger but i had to be carried. George blanched with distaste when he noticed the steady flow of blood between my legs and asked if i had lost another baby. Benny shook his head and went back to Kayla. She had bruised kidneys, a broken wrist, a cracked collarbone, needed stitches in her cheek, and had a slight concussion. She was bleeding vaginally and that he couldn't figure out until a pregnancy test showed she was pregnant. Miraculously the bleeding stopped and George told her that the baby wouldn't go on its own. She placed her good hand over her belly in wonder and nodded. George told me he thought i'd never have to go through another abortion. He thought there was too much damage for me to ever conceive again. (Ever notice how often i was told i would never be a mother? Didn't work out that way though. That gives me a feeling of vindictive pleasure.) He stitched my back so fine the scar is only noticable if you know what you are looking for. Then he went about treating the burns. my toes, the backs of my knees, (one of those got so infected he worried for a while) the undersides of my breasts, the back of my neck, and each finger tip. Throughout the treatment i was silent. i had thrown up repeatedly during John's punishment and i was no longer at all drunk or stoned. i was thinking. Thinking that the worse thing that could happen if i ran was death. And, that seemed like a good thing. It took something terrible to move me from thinking into action. Two weeks later the father of Kayla's child bought her from Edward and took her to Seattle to start a new life. Benny loaned him part of the money, a month after that i was taken to auction.
