A shudder
raced through her and her stomach knotted. Nausea rose up to her throat as
darkness descended in her mind.
“I’m sending
you an SOS. Sending you an SOS. An SOS.” Can you find me? Can you hear me?
“I hear you,”
Trudy whispered, answering the small, trembling voice.
“Did you say
something, Rachel? Are you singing something?” This was a different voice in
her head. A deep bass, but gentle. Coaxing, cajoling, cunning.
The darkness
parted like a curtain in Trudy’s mind and Rachel came into view. She sat in a
child’s white rocking chair, her red tennis shoes dangling inches from the
floor. A wedge of purple discolored her right cheek. Her lips twitched and her
chin quivered.
“Be a good
girl and do what you’re told and that won’t happen to you again. No one wants
to hurt you. You gotta obey, though. Can’t say ‘no’ to your elders. Your mama
should have taught you that.”
“It hurts.”
“Want me to
kiss it and make it well?”
Rachel
rounded her shoulders, making herself smaller. “Nuh-uh.”
“Okay then. I
could make it stop hurting though . . . I’ll read you a Bible story. How about
that? Remember what we talked about? God is way up here . . . then there’s his
disciples right here . . . and then your elders . . . and you’re way down below
that.”
Glimpses of
hands . . . moving up and down, illustrating the levels. Dirty nails, dry
skinned knuckles.
“Where’s
Mommy?”
“Are you
hearing me? This is important.”
“I want to
talk to Mommy.”
“She doesn’t
want to talk to you! God gave you to us. Your Mommy is busy serving the Lord
and now you’re here serving us because it’s been ordained. Quit touching your
face! That won’t help it heal. Come sit in my lap while I read. Did you hear me
ask nice? You won’t like it if I have to ask twice. That’s my good girl. You
act like this all the time and you won’t get any more boo-boos.”
Was he
kissing her? Was he licking her?
