Briar bolted into her room and closed the door behind her. Feeling slightly guilty, she also locked it. Unsure if Noelle and Shafia had keys with them, she also braced a heavy chair under the doorknob to keep people out. She didn't make it as far as her bed before she blacked out...

Briar came to, and found she was still on the floor of her room. With a sigh of relief she saw that the chair was still in front of the door. She sat up slowly, her mind feeling like a jigsaw puzzle that had been put together wrong. She stood up and went into the bathroom, where she spashed cold water on her face to wake her up all the way.

Looking down, she noticed bruises forming on her bare arms. With a sigh, she reached under her bed for a sweatshirt, which she pulled on. She then made her way slowly and carefully back downstairs...
