The veil
One of his men scoffed with laughter.
“Well, we'll check that out soon,” Henry grinned mischievously and approached her. Sam crawled away, causing him to laugh. It was fun for him to feel her fear, it was fuel to tease her.
Sam trembled and tears wet her veil, she feared. Seeing that face full of evil took her back to the past, to the hell she lived through. She was in the middle of a nervous breakdown, she couldn't control the fear and helplessness. Suddenly she felt exposed, the breeze caressed her face and she knew she no longer had her veil on. She covered it with her two hands and ducked her head, her hair covered her face and part of her arms as well.
