I thought the whole thing was behind us. I never imagined they'd been scheming all along, biding their time for a far more devastating retaliation.
Seeing me silent now, Jacob grabbed my arm and yanked. "Marina. I'm talking to you. Are you even listening?"
I was pulled out of my thoughts. I lifted my head to look at him. "What did you say?"
But Jacob didn't answer. Instead, his brow creased.
"What's that smell? It reeks."
Suddenly, disgust twisted his features. He clamped a hand over his nose and took a large step back, putting distance between us.
"Rebecca, do you smell something weird?"
Rebecca sniffed the air a few times, then nodded.
"Yeah. It smells like... urine."
They both turned to stare at me, their eyes raking over my body with open scrutiny.
Every muscle in me went rigid. I stood frozen, not daring to move.
But the warm liquid kept coming.
Trickling down from between my legs.
Rebecca's eyes went comically wide. She pointed at my pants.
"Jacob, look! She wet herself!" A shriek of laughter tore out of her. "Oh my God, Marina actually wet herself!"
"Marina, I get that you're excited to be home, but this is a bit much, don't you think?"
