LAYLANI BREATHED harshly, the bruises covering her body thrumming.

Her ribs ached at the oncoming assault she hunched over her son, his cries tearing at her ears.

"Stupid w***e!"

"It's okay baby," she cooed lowly over the insults, ignoring the blows as best she could.

"It'll be fine."

And it would.

Because she was going to get them out of there.

She was going to get her son out of there.

Or die trying..
