Everyone just stared at her totally lost for words
"What?,it isn't that bad, everyone needs a change of character once in a while ya know"Riley said with a smirk and began eating like she did not just cause a ruckus with her dressing
"Bianca darling, where is your gown?"Mrs Brian asked breaking the silence
"Not to my taste"
"But u picked that gown out yourself"
Bianca's Aunt spoke up
"I changed my mind"
"Are you serious,are you mad?!,that costs almost a million dollars u ungrateful brat"
Bianca's step mom chipped in
"Oh please at least I don't spend $8,000,000 dollars on a shoe worn once and then gave it out,so we're on the same lane old hag,do yourself a favor, check yourself before checking others sly vermin!"Riley retorted in the same energy as the lady
"Bianca!"
"Shit it slut face"she said referring to Bianca's step sis Vivian
"Behave yourself Bianca,we have guests"Mr Brian said and Riley scoffed
"Whatever"and then she rolled her eyes
"What's happened to you Bianca?"Mrs Collins asked
"Why should I tell u?, you're not my mother-"
"Bianca!"
Riley kept shut and glared daggars at the person who yelled. It was Asher
"Mr goody-two-shoes , I wondered when you'd speak up",she scoffed and clicked her tongue,"or are u a coward?"
"Bianca!"
"Don't u dare!"Riley yelled grabbing Bianca's step mom , Jessica,hand that was about to slap her,"I will not tolerate u hitting me again,got it?"
She put the woman's hand down and got up,"thanks for the unpleasant dinner, I'm full, of your nonsense that is, good night guntches", with that she walked away without looking back heading back to her room and closing the door shut.
Meanwhile...
At the dinning table, everyone were still taken aback by Bianca's outburst
"What was the meaning of that, never in my life have I seen such a display of rude behavior?"Mr Collins said angrily,a deep frown on his face
"She's just going through a phase,give her time"Cassandra, Bianca's mother replied with a smile trying to handle the situation
"Phase my foot!,u saw what she did,she insulted the family,me,she should be punished"Jessica said angrily
"No one is laying a finger on my daughter"Cassandra retorted with a glare
"Enough already, this is getting old"Asher said clearly irritated and a deep frown on his handsome face
"Apologies Asher,as u can see, my sister is not worthy of being a member of the Collins family and we all just witnessed her character"Vivian spoke up
"Are you any better?, don't think I don't know what you've been doing Miss Brian"Asher replied with a dangerous smirk playing on his lips
"Let's just finished dinner, we'll reschedule the gathering for next weekend,is that alright with you Mr and Mrs Collins?"Cassandra asked politely with a charming smile
"Yes it is"Mr Collins replied before his wife could
"Very well then"
*****
Riley layed on Bianca's bed fast asleep and was having a dream or should I say a recollection of memories, Bianca's memories
#*"No don't, don't do this!"*
*" I don't want to get married"
"You have no choice, it's for the family"*
*'pak','pak'*
*"U reched thing, how dare you disobey me!"*
*"Ahhhhh, ahhhhh,let me go please, I- ×hand covers her mouth and tears fall out×
*"Yeah, that's it u slut,fuck you're so tight"*
*"You'll go with your mother to get an abortion done"*
*'beep' 'beep'
"We're loosing her"*
*"C'mon cousin let's party like it's new year!"*
Bianca's memories kept flooding in, making Riley uncomfortable and restless on the bed
*"You're a slut and will always be one Bianca!"*Riley's voice rang
*"Shut it street hag, you're nothing compared to me"*
*"At least I'm something on my own,not depending on my family for everything"*
*"U don't know anything"*, with that Bianca walked away
*"Drink up cuzz, I'm going to pee"*
*'Groans',"help me","no,no,how could you"*
*'slups on the bed lifelessly'*#
"Nooooo!!!"
Riley yelled sitting up,she was covered in sweat and breathing heavily
"I can't believe she suffered like this, I almost feel sorry for her. Almost"
She was still gathering herself when she heard a knock on the door
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Ella young miss, I mean Ry Ry"
"Come in"
Ella opened the door gently and walked in
"I was just passing when I heard you scream"
"Oh, just a nightmare, nothing more, nothing less"
"Ok miss, I'll leave you to your sleep", Ella bowed and soon left the room.
Riley let out a sigh and checked the time,it was a few minutes past midnight.
She got down and into the bathroom to shower and changed into Bianca's blue pj then sat on the bed
"Bianca had it rough too,it reminds me of myself"
** Riley was just six years old and was having training with her master,her body battered and brused
"Master I'm tired ,when can we take a break?"
"There are no breaks. Fight".
It then moved to when she was held down and whipped on her back severally for missing a move
"I'm sorry... master, I'll try h..harder"she said through clenched teeth and tears falling out of her eyes
The next was the scene where Riley was nearly raped to death by her fellow students, she was the only female amongst the class in the whole school. If not because of her will to stay alive and the interference of her master she would have been long gone.
But to her greatest surprise, she was punished, saying she seduced them
"You're here by expelled, never step foot in here ever again"
With her head held low,she limped away with her things**
"We've all had our fair share of punishment,ups and downs, problems or the other"she muttered and chuckled sadly
She looked at her arm trying to find her scar but then she remembered that she wasn't in her body.
She had an ugly long scar on her right arm,a reminder that she was all alone in the world,no one to turn to
"I think I need sleep, I'm going insane"she muttered and layed on the bed closing her eyes and drifting off to dreamland.
