The towel was pulled off Alani's face, she still had no reaction, she never gave him the satisfaction. "Cry! Go on- Cry!" Mr Riddle barked, when she didn't listen he punched her in the nose, blood gushed out of both her nostrils, it trickled down her lips. Alani hadn't cried since her Mother died, that was the only time she had broken down, she wasn't the type of kid to cry, she was happy all the time, but her Mother's dead effected her mentally. "Suck it up." The Devil fired bluntly. Alani was beaten for a few more hours before she was allowed to leave, her Uncle left her bleeding on the floor. Alani stood up and she walked up the staircase, she held onto the railings since her body burnt, she emerged at the top of the staircase, she had to cover her eyes because the bright lights messed up her vision, her eyes still had to adjust. Alani walked over to the Library, she left bloody footprints behind her, her prosthetic limbs were magically wired to her body, they felt pain if she was hit because they were connected to her nervous system. Alani sat down on a table, she started reading through a few books, she had blood dribbling down her ears because Mr Riddle had used loud music to blow her eardrums. Out of the Library window Alani could see her Brother's playing football with Draco, Mr Malfoy and Mr Riddle (who had joined in), she always got a twisted feeling of jealousy when she saw people living their childhood happily. Mr Riddle actually liked Mattheo and Artemas because they looked like him, so he rarely punished them.
