“Kavin?”
I looked up to see Samantha standing in front of me, her dress rumpled, her hair disheveled. She looked like a stranger, like a ghost of the girl I had once known.
“Samantha,” I said, my voice hoarse. “Are you okay?”

I stared at her, at the bruises on her neck, the red marks on her wrists. “What happened in there, Samantha? What did they do to you?”
