Eira was on the bed and almost all of her clothes had been stripped off. One of her teeth was knocked off and it fell on the bed. Her arms were twisted and pinched to the point that they were covered in bruises. Eira was already in such a panic that was beyond words. She did not even react when she heard her brother calling her name. That was because she thought that it was a dream. When Malvolio saw her like that, he felt immensely heartbroken. He took a step forward and put his sister in his arms. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his sister. Then, h e asked her to stand outside the bedroom.
"Eira, listen to me, don't be afraid no matter what you see. Do you understand?" said Malvolio.
Eira shook her head. "Malvolio, don't. If I don't do as they said today, then they will expose me. I...Malvolio, I'm sorry. I have stolen...Delmont’s things. It was my fault, Malvolio..."
Eira did not know how to cry anymore. She just shook her head like mad, and then she wanted to enter the bedroom again.
At that moment, Malvolio was so angered that he raised his knife and slashed the door frame. The old man in the room was so frightened that he shuddered and all the fats on his body also quivered like mad. Eira also looked at her brother in shock.
"Don’t worry! With me around, your reputation would not be ruined! Nobody knew it was you who did it! I have a way to help you!" Malvolio said.
After saying that, he forcibly shut Eira outside of the door. Eira did not know what had her brother done in the door. She only knew that her brother came out after a few minutes. When he came out, the long knife i n his hand was dripping with blood.
"Let's go. Follow me home," said Malvolio.
"Malvolio, will you beat me up?" asked Eira.
