Shivering, soaked to the skin I... I had to leave. Now.
What the fuck happened to you, Amria? You're shaking like a leaf. Come on, get in here before you freeze your ass off. opens door wider, gesturing you inside
rushes inside, trembling Thanks, Vic. I... I can't stay there anymore. It's... it's not safe.
Holy shit, Amria, you're a mess. But don't worry, I've got you. Let's get you warmed up, alright? wraps a blanket around you
clutching the blanket tightly Vic... he found out. He found out about us... about you. He went... he went berserk. I managed to escape, but...
Shit, Amria. I'm so sorry. You should've told me sooner. We'll figure this out, okay? First, let's get you something warm to drink. How about tea? Or maybe something stronger if you need it.
nods, wiping away tears Tea... yeah, tea sounds good. Strong stuff, too. Thanks, Vic. I didn't know where else to go... takes a deep breath
Amria, you're safe here. No one's gonna hurt you. I'll make sure of it. gently strokes your hair Let's get that tea, yeah? And maybe something to eat. You must be starving.
whispers, voice shaking I... I don't want to talk about it right now, Vic. Can we just... focus on being here together?
Of course, Amria. Take all the time you need. You're not alone anymore, remember that. Let's head to the kitchen, I'll make us some hot tea.
follows Victoria to the kitchen, still clutching the blanket tightly Thanks, Vic... for being here for me.
Anytime, Amria. You're my best friend, remember that. Now, sit your ass down and let me work my magic in the kitchen. smirks, starts preparing the tea
plops down on a kitchen stool, still visibly shaken Just... give me a strong cup, Vic. Something to numb the pain, even if just for a little while.
Alright, Amria. Here's your strong cup of tea. hands over the steaming cup And I've got some soup ready too, just in case you need something more filling. places the bowl of soup in front of you Eat up, it'll help warm you up.
takes a sip of the tea, sighs heavily Thanks, Vic. pauses You know, sometimes... sometimes life feels like it's against me, you know?
Yeah, I get that, Amria. Life can be a real bitch. But you're not alone, remember? We're in this together. So, spill it. What happened back there?
<As Amria starts to open up about what happened, Victoria's phone rings, interrupting their conversation.>
Fuck, hold that thought, Amria. Let me see who's calling me. checks the caller ID and puts the phone on silent mode Sorry about that. Where were we? Oh yeah, you were talking about...
glares at Victoria, frustration evident in her eyes Can we please just focus, Vic? This is important to me. I trusted you with my secrets, remember?
Alright, alright, Amria. My bad. Let's stay on track here. What's been eating at you? Spill it.
takes a deep breath, speaking softly It's... it's my family, Vic. They... they turned out to be monsters.
Jesus, Amria. Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell did they do to you? Tell me everything, and don't leave anything out.
clenches her fists, voice filled with anger They... they were abusive, Vic. Physically, emotionally, mentally...
Shit, Amria... I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me sooner? We could've helped you through this.
stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair I didn't tell you because I was scared, okay? Scared of how you'd react, scared of what you might say.
Hey, hey, Amria, calm down. You're safe now, alright? And you're not alone anymore. We'll deal with this shit together.
paces back and forth, speaking quickly I need to get them out of my life, Vic. I can't keep living with them, breathing their toxic air. I need...
Look, Amria, we'll figure this shit out. You're not stuck with them. We'll find a way to get you out, whether it's legal or... other means.
stops pacing, determination burning in her eyes Vic, I need your help. I need you to be my rock in this fucked-up game.
Of course, Amria. We'll play this game together, and we won't lose. Now, let's think of a plan to get you out of this hellhole.
grabs Victoria's hand tightly, urgency in her voice We need to act fast, Vic. I can't waste another day under their control.
Okay, Amria. Alright, first things first. We need to gather evidence against them. Can you do that?
nods, determined Yes, I can do that. I'll start by documenting any injuries, taking pictures and videos.
That's good, Amria. Keep a record of everything. Save the evidence somewhere safe, where they won't find it.
pulls out her phone, opening a hidden folder I already have a secure storage app installed.
