Unseen bruises: a Siobhan Serpent story

Chapter 1

Authors note: TW SA, Roger and swearing

Siobhan Serpent had always been the same cold, heartless soul. Walking around with a smirk on her face and a chilling demeanour following her. That was until she met Vivian Clark, a parent at The Knight Nursery. Her and Vivian had arranged coffee meetings meetings every Monday at 9am where all phones were left outside the door to prevent any interruptions from 'Mr persistent texter' as Vivian called Roger Knight, the owner of the nurseries.

Siobhan was part of the board of directors and management so she was often heard back by complaining parents or parents who hadn't picked their children up in time. However when Siobhan got home, her boyfriend Roger was not so fond of her being home late. Before Siobhan could lay a hand on the cold door handle, it was swung open by Roger. "You said 7! It's 7:30. That's thirty minutes you what, were doing shit that you couldn't even call me back about!" He said before grabbing her arm, dragging her over the threshold.

As soon as she was in, Roger slammed the door shut before throwing her bag into the kitchen and pulling Siobhan up the stairs. Roger dug her nails into her wrists which he held tightly in one of his hands. "Roger please stop your hurting me!" Siobhan begged, only to have that beg slapped away by Roger's hand coming sharply across her face. He shoved Siobhan down on the bed before ripping her clothes off. The first time he had assaulted her, she was confused after he had showered her with gifts and money.

After he was done with Siobhan, he kissed her softly on the lips and headed off for a shower. Siobhan put some pyjamas on and walked down to the kitchen to retrieve her phone from the bag Roger had flung earlier that day. Siobhan noticed a message on her screen from an unknown number. She read it, 'Hey Siobhan, it's Vivian. I was wondering how you were?' Siobhan smiled at the text and replied. 'Hey Viv, I'm fine. Roger just uses my like a fucking object. I will tell you during our next meeting.' Siobhan then headed upstairs to go to sleep.

The next day Vivian was appalled after Siobhan told her what Roger did to her the night before. Vivian's head began plotting if she might be able to help Siobhan.

Later in the week, Roger had used Siobhan another 3 times. Siobhan had taken herself off to work as the system had 'broken down' again, where she saw a familiar face framed with pigtails coming towards her. "Hello Delilah."
"Hey Sibby!" Delilah said with her usual bubbly tone.
"I've told you before not to call me that!" Siobhan said, her voice icy.
Delilah rolled her eyes, giggled to herself, and skipped off. "She terrifies me!" Siobhan muttered under her breath.
Her stress was soon eased as she saw the woman she was there for. "Hello Siobhan, are you here updating the system again?" Vivian asked with a wink. Siobhan smirked and replied, "Well we can't always rely on the system to work but we can trust it to break down at the exact same time every week. Just when you're here coincidently."
Vivian smiled and said to Siobhan more serious, "How is 'Mr Possessive'?" She asked. "He...used...me again a few times against my will." Siobhan said, sounding ashamed.

Vivian soon spoke up again, "I have an idea..."
