Abigail's POV

***

"Abigail, just wait and stop proving stubborn."

The click of Henry's shoes signaled his approach. I turned to face him, arms crossed resolutely over my chest, determined to stand my ground.

"How am I the stubborn one?" I lashed out at Henry, my words dripping with venom. "You weren't the one being verbally abused. It would do you well to tell your grandfather to watch his tongue, or he'll find himself in a heap of trouble with me." My voice resounded throughout the hall, making no attempt to soften it.

For Christ's sake, I didn't care if grandfather heard me or not, I was tired of being treated like filth. I was also someone's child and a human.

"Ergh, about that; I'm pleading on his behalf."

"Stop gaping at me like that," he scoffed. "I'm willing to give her a chance to prove herself, but only if she can show me she's strong and capable. That's as much as I can offer." He knew Abigail wouldn't pass his test but he was willing to give her a chance.
