Chapter 24: The Antique Room

(Lana)

Ben hurled me with a great deal of force and in an instant threw me into the dim room. I was knocked back a few steps before I landed on my bottom, and he locked the door behind him with a bounce of his foot without bothering to check if I was hurt or not. 

"Ouch, that hurt...!" I recoiled in pain as a mild stinging sensation spread across my butt.

"You cretin, let me out of here! I did not behave inappropriately in any way. Obviously, you were already aware of that, but that damned ego of yours won't let you accept the fact that you and your kind are worthless pieces of garbage!" I screamed out in anger and pain as I rubbed my wrist in an attempt to alleviate the discomfort.

It was obvious that a bruise was beginning to form because I could feel a bump on it. I wasn't surprised in the least. My skin was naturally very delicate, and as a result, it was prone to bruising even when subjected to the slightest amount of pressure.
