I was curled on the bed. With my head buried in my legs, my hair messed up. The events of last night reverberated in my head, and I couldn't help crying. I kept thinking of my family. I've tried mindlinking my mother but it seems like she blocked me out. I tried mindlinking Damon too and same thing. Have they all forgotten about me? Do they already think I'm dead?
Why do bad things keep happening to me?
Don't I deserve to be happy for once?
Different thoughts kept running through my mind until I heard the creaking sound of the door.
My heart jumped at the expectation of who it might be but my thought was betrayed when I saw a woman in her forties walking in. She was wearing a long flay gown.
"Oh my God...poor girl." The lady exclaimed, backing it up with a sympathetic expression on her face.
C'mon Who wouldn't pity me in this messed up state, my clothes were torn by that Alpha, my hair messed up, uncontrollably tears pouring down from my eyes.
Even a vampire will pity me.
"Are you alright?" She asks, touching my shoulder.
"Do I look like it?" I sniffed in tears. the lady immediately apologised.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Mrs Priyanka, the Head of maids here. the Alpha asked me to show you around and the work you'll be doing here." She said but I didn't reply.
"But with the way you are looking now, we can't move about this way. Let's take a bath." She said and walked out then she came back minutes later to tell me my bath is ready. She helped me climb down from the bed.
The moment my leg touched the ground, I felt electrocuted by the pains burning between my legs. I couldn't move further, it was like hell.
The lady noticed it so she aided me out of the room while I limped beside her.
Soon we arrived at a small room made of wood, it was dusty and smelly.
The exact opposite of the room I've come out from.
"I'm sorry I couldn't afford to have you bath in your master's bathroom." She says as she notices the disgust in my face.
"Seriously!" I Sucked in a breath, feeling humiliated.
The lady showed me a bucket of water, she handed me a dress which I'll put on after the bath and then she left me alone here.
I remained standing as I took in the environment.
I just couldn't see myself using this kinda bathroom— a bathroom made for slaves I suppose.
I know I'm not a slave but do I have a choice? No.
I was smelling sperms and my face smelling of dry blood and tears.
So left with no choice, I took a quick bath. I changed into the dress I was given, which was a short kaki gown dropping above my knee. Then I walked out to meet the lady standing at the door.
"Wow I feared you weren't coming out anymore." She exclaimed. Did I take that long?
I rolled my eyes.
"Now this way please." She smiled as she led me out of the passageway.
And that's how she starts taking me around the building showing me places.
She showed me to the extravagant kitchen which was two times bigger than a normal one and said I'll be responsible for cooking my master's food.
Hearing her constant saying of my master got me pissed but I decided not to dwell on that but rather I took in the beauty of all the places she's shown me.
The house has lots of stairs leading through various rooms. The interior was indeed beautiful and most things were made of gold.
While still showing me around I discovered it was a mansion- an astronomical mansion to be exact.
"Dacianna!!!" I heard her scream my name, making me startled. Yeah I've earlier told her my name.
"So I was saying I've shown you all basic places so far. Do you want me to take you down to the mining." She raised an eyebrow.
"What's that?"
"It's a place where our slaves are taken out to work as punishment when they commit any offense. I know that's not included in the job but I felt the need to make you get familiar with it just in case so you won't be completely ignorant" she explained.
"I don't think we need to go there cause I'm not a slave." I spat balling my fist beside me. As my brain flashed back to how that beast had devoured me on the bed, all pains we inflicted on me yesterday, How he enjoyed seeing my tears, rage creeped into my system.
It wasn't rage for him but rage for my father. He made it clear to me that he did that to me for my father's sin but what he doesn't know is that, if he really wants his revenge to be sweet. He should take it out on my father, not me, if there's anyone who should suffer his wrath it is father , not me. My father should be the one he should enslave, not me. I don't deserve to be a slave cause I did nothing wrong and I was never in support of my father's cruel acts.
"I'm not a slave.." I repeated again. "And I can never be a slave especially not to that beast you call your Alpha."
"Alpha Lowell isn't as bad as you may think." I didn't hear that right, correct?? Or he isn't talking about the same Beast who caused me so much pain yesterday right? In fact if there's any word worse than beast to describe him then I need your help right here.
Or maybe she's trying to tell me that Her Alpha is far more cruel than I think.... okay that makes more sense but "I don't care whatever he is, I just don't want to his slave.." My voice came out squeakier than I intended.
She sighed. "Well I guess there's nothing you can do about that."
"Oh There's something I can do if you can help me ma'am priyanka.." I took her hand and intertwined it into mine.
"Please help me escape. I want to leave this park, I don't want to be in this place. I swear I'll be forever in-depth to you just help me out." I rambled, tears tickling in my eyes like crystals.
