He was shocked at the power of the shadow and yet he couldn't attack it via normal means, he managed to pull the pillow away from her face and heard her breathing hitch, as she managed to take in the air to sustain her lungs.

A flood of raw, jagged memories hit her: the smell of lye, the sting of the whip, the sound of her mother’s silent weeping.
