Once Allister left, the ginger haired girl returned.
She was shaking from head to toe as she walked into the room. She looked over me, eyes lingering on the bloodstains all over my body before quietly making her way into the bathroom.
I heard the sound of rushing water and she returned a moment later with her hands folded behind her. "If you will join me, it is time to have you cleaned."
It took me a second to understand what she was saying and I immediately shook my head. "I can take a bath myself. You can just leave."
"No."
I blinked twice, wondering if I heard her right. "Excuse me?"
"I'm not dying for you," she said, voice soft but firm. "We all know what happened to the other girl, and I will not allow myself to be your lesson. You can either get in or I'll drag you in."
