Ellie Flora P.O.V I squeezed my eyes tight and prayed that I would go deaf. I prayed by some miracle Claire would suddenly kill over and the slave boys would be free. She had gotten a new slave proclaiming her other one was becoming a bore. I had to bite my tongue from screaming at her. So much agony filled his screams. So much pain. Claire's delighted laughter made me sick. How could a person enjoy torturing some one so cruelly? Yes I'd tourtued my share of men but that had only been to get information never for pleasure. I was killer with little emotions but the sound of his screams always brought me to my knees. All my life I've watched her treat slaves as nothing but a pet. What made me even sicker was that Claire used them for nothing but torture.They had no purpose in life here
