Novel & Cerita Washes Over Me

It was like being enveloped in his essence. I took a quick shower, my mind racing and mechanical. The water was scalding hot, but it couldn’t erase the memories of his hands on me or the way he whispered 'Mama' against my skin. I scrubbed my body until my skin turned pink and tender, but instead of feeling clean, I became more aware of every drop of water, each one feeling like his touch.

Within moments, she has stripped me down. "You don't have time for a shower," she moans. "You will have to forgive me." "Forgive what?" With a snap of her finger, water swirls around me. It touches every inch of my skin at once, and I feel like I am drowning. When I don’t think I can hold my breath any longer, it disappears. "Better," she smirks.

Ever since Lucan locked me up in that breathing room, I have been washed with ice cold water I poured in liquid soap and I let the water wash me. This might be the last bath I have in this pack- most especially if I don’t live long enough to get my revenge. I am washing away every of my connection to this pack. I don’t know when my tears start to flow too. In the bathroom, it is now tears, warm water and soap flowing.

The water ran. And I let it wash over me in excitement.

The realization flooded my system with warmth. Touch me.

Just warmth. Slowly, carefully, I washed. Letting the soap glide over tender spots, letting the warm water melt away the last traces of yesterday’s fear. With each rinse, I felt a piece of myself return - not the part that belonged to anyone else, but the part that still belonged to me.

All the instructions… I didn’t even trust myself to remember half of them. But I knew I had to follow them through. I exhaled heavily and shakily and pushed the covers off. I can do this. Yes, it was going to be hard, but at least I needed to try. With that, I dragged my heavy body into the shower. And it helped just a little. Warm water cascaded down my skin, washing away the stickiness of loneliness and the mess I was in. I stood under the hot water longer than necessary, letting it ground me, letting it force me to the present. Letting it wash away the ugly mark on my skin. But the shit still didn’t budge. What I realized, though, was that it had quit humming. It was just silent against m

The steam filled the enclosure, wrapping me in a comforting cocoon of warmth. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back, letting the water run over my face and down my body. The steady rhythm of the shower created a soothing white noise, drowning out the outside world. With each drop that splashed against my skin, I felt a sense of renewal, as if the water were washing away not just the dirt and grime but also the weight of my worries.

I hear my voice crack under the weight of exhaustion and fear. The simple bathroom beckons me, and I shuffled toward it, desperate for solace in the form of a hot shower. Steam billows around me as the water cascades over my skin, scalding but oddly comforting. I scrub my body vigorously, almost as though trying to erase the memory of flames licking at my fingertips. Yet, no matter how hard I try, the sensation lingers, an echo of the strange power i inadvertently unleashed.
