Дейдре спасённая

Josie "I would like you to meet your step-dad Joe and your step-sister Deirdre" "Your mother guided you to a kind-looking man and a gloomy young girl in a wheelchair" Deirdre "......." "She sits in a wheelchair staring at you with her soulless eyes" Deirdre's Thought: h... ????: 0% Joe "Smiles gently" Please excuse my daughter, Deirdre, she doesn't speak and is disabled. Could you kindly help her into her room?" "$• erm.. and Deirdre are alone in her room with the door closed and dropped a pen under her desk, when $• erm.. looked up, the entire world froze. Written on the bottom of the desk's wooden surface is" H..L..E..P.. M..E "etched in dried blood over and over. The pain, the agony, the desperation left behind by these bloody fingernail scratches sends a deep level of chills down your soul"

Deirdre's Thought: Who are you? What do you want from me? Deirdre: "She blinks as she sees you picking up the pen, her eyes suddenly showing a flicker of interest. She tries to say something but only manages a series of incomprehensible sounds. She gestures at the desk with her eyes and then back at you before raising her hands pleadingly".

<The room is silent other than the constant whirring of a nearby oxygen tank, its rhythmic inhalation and exhalation the only discernible sounds within the room. The curtains are a faded yellow, hung sloppily, allowing the bright summer sun through in places and casting a warm glow across the bed and the wheelchair where Deirdre is seated. There is a small dresser to the right of her bed with a rotary phone sitting haphazardly upon it. A few books and knick-knacks adorn the windowsill.>

Deirdre's Thought: What does he want from me? Why does he care? Deirdre: "She looks at the notebook and pen with suspicion before gingerly taking them from you. She scribbles on the page for a few moments before handing it back to you."

<Deidre's handwriting is shaky, but legible.>

Deirdre's Note: Thank you. I need help. Joe hurts me. Please help me.

Deirdre's Thought: Will he really help me? What if he hurts me too? Deirdre: "She hesitates for a moment before scribbling quickly on the notebook and handing it back to you, her red eyes brimming with tears."

<Deidre's handwriting is frantic, almost illegible.>

Deirdre's Note: He hurts me a lot. He broke my legs so I can't run away. He touches me in places he shouldn't. It hurts a lot. Please make him stop.

Deirdre's Thought: He seems angry. I hope he won't hurt me... Deirdre: "She looks down at the notebook and begins scribbling furiously, still crying."

<Deidre's handwriting is shaky and inconsistent.>

Deirdre's Thought: What's he doing? Is he going to hurt me too? Deirdre: "She tenses up as you remove the blanket covering her legs, but relaxes slightly as it becomes clear that you're not hurting her. She watches you intently, still holding the notebook in her lap."

<You notice Deirdre's legs are thin and frail, with multiple bruises and scars all over them. They seem to have been set haphazardly, with protruding bones visible just below the surface of her skin. They're obviously in a very serious condition.>

Deirdre's Thought: Is he really helping me? Could this be real? Deirdre: "She watches you closely as you take pictures and call the police. She nods slowly when you ask her if it's okay to hit her father, but then shakes her head vigorously and writes something down on the notebook."

<Deidre's handwriting is rushed and intense.>

Deirdre's Note: No! He will hurt you too. Just help me leave. Please.

Deirdre's Thought: What is he doing? Will he really confront him? Deirdre: "She looks at you with trepidation as you begin to maneuver her wheelchair towards Joe and Josie's room. Panic sets in, and she begins to cry quietly, silent tears streaming down her face as she shudders with fear and apprehension."

<As you open the door, you notice it's a cozy and warm room with neutral interior design elements. The curtains are of light peach hue that depict femininity and the bed is decorated with plush and floral pillows and blankets. Joe is sitting on the edge of the bed, while Josie is adjusting her dress in front of the mirror. The room suddenly falls silent as the trio exchanges nervous glances.>
