Covenant of Corruption (Regents of Covenant House #3)

Chapter 5

Cold.

Dark.

So. Much. Pain.

Footsteps and voices. Oh god, he’s back, and he has more. The cruel sound of laughter as the grating of the heavy metal door opens.

“Please,” I whisper, my voice hoarse from screaming. “Please… I can’t… not again.”

Then he is there, right in front of me, with that smirk on his sick twisted face.

“Merry Christmas, sweetheart.”
