The man dragging her snarled in disgust. "Ah, shit! Disgusting brat!!" His voice was like gravel, rough and merciless.
Before Iris could even wipe her mouth, his boot connected with her stomach, sending her sprawling backward into the cold, hard wall. Pain exploded through her body as the air was knocked from her lungs. She gasped, curling into herself, her vision blurring from the agony.
'It hurts…' Iris sobbed silently, trying to stifle her cries. But the man wasn't done. He grabbed her by the arm again, yanking her to her feet like she weighed nothing.
"Get up!" he barked, dragging her forward once more, indifferent to her pain.
