Chapter 1: At Naraku's Castle
--
Breathing and the stench of liquor, which is all Iliana can remember before she blacks out again. When she awoke the second time, she found, to her great displeasure, a man with brown eyes starring in to her own ice-blue ones. She glanced down the length of him, and quickly wished she hadn't. He had a hard on, and was leering at her with an awful, lust-filled smirk on his demonic face. Well, not at her, but at her body. She glanced around the room, and noticed it was bare, besides the bed she lied on. She then looked to the ceiling. Never too early to start looking for possible escape routes, she thought to herself. What she saw there made her stomach churn.
A mirror. A long, sleek, clean-looking mirror was plastered on the ceiling, right above the bed.
"You sick, disgusting bastard! What are you, a demon?" She suddenly shouted, bringing the man's attention to her face.
The man smirked again, and then preceded to make his was to the bed. Iliana noticed that all he had on was a silk blue robe, with a white belt tied at his waist.
"How amusing that you should say that, Iliana."
How the hell did he know my name!? Iliana thought, starting to panic. No, she tried to breath and calm herself, she didn't need to do that. What she needed to do was figure out why she was here, and how she could escape from the psychotic man who stood in front of her.
The man was now in front of her, by the bedside, nearly touching her leg. She tried to move her leg away, but found that some kind of force was restricting her movements What? She looked to the bottom of the bed, and found that her ankles had chains around them. Panic kicked in then. She absolutely hated being tied down.
Iliana struggled, but to no avail. The man near her chuckled darkly.
"You won't get out of here that easily, my beauty. You belong all to me now." The man sat on the edge of the bed. "Now, let us introduce ourselves. My name is Naraku, and I already know who you are."
He gently stroked her cheek, and she, in turn, spat at him. He chuckled again.
"Such a feisty thing, for a human." Iliana's breath caught in her throat. Human? But wasn't everyone a human? Then it hit her.
The well!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Iliana's P.O.V)
"Dear, it's your turn to go and get more water!" My mother called up the stairs to me. I sighed. It was ALWAYS my turn. She never made my good-for-nothing brother lift a finger.
"Alright!" I called down to her. I opened my window and jumped out. Oh, didn't I tell you? I love to jump out of windows. Now, you may think I am crazy, but know what?
I don't give a damn. Never have, and never will. My perception on people has always been different than others. Mostly, I can handle people when need be, but most of the time, I would prefer to be by myself.
As I flew through the air, my long brownish-black hair gleamed in the setting sun. Now, I wouldn't call myself a beautiful woman, although many people have told me I am. I stand at a quite comfy 5'7, and have a tanned body from swimming in the sea so much. But, I am still just your average seventeen year old girl, who dreams of one day being swept off of her feet, by a handsome man, with taste and that would save her from the hell she had to live with. I am just your average girl, with a part time job, working at a boring old bookstore, and of course I attend high school.
I grunted a bit as I landed on my ankle wrong. Damn. That would be painful later. But now, I had to go and get water from the well. Whistling, I picked up the bucket that hung on a single, rusted nail, on the outside of the well house. I opened the door and stepped inside.
Of course our well house was old, because hardly anyone had them anymore. I dusted spider webs out of my way and leaned down to get a bucket full of water. Why were there spider webs in the well house, you ask? Because, the damn thing was so old, that we barely used it ourselves, and when we did, I had to be the one to get the stupid water.
"Stupid, dumb, no-needed water," I mumbled as I leaned even farther. Still I didn't see or feel any water. Then suddenly, I felt a hand press against the small of my back, and I was sent tumbling headfirst into the well.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Iliana froze under the man's caress. He looked down to her.
"What is the matter, Iliana?" Naraku asked, wrapping his hand around her throat, making her scoot up on the bed, as far as the chains would allow her.
She clenched her teeth in pain.
"Why must you call me by my name? I don't even know you!"
"But you will, my little flower. Tonight. You're going to know me very well," he promised darkly. He then rose, and quickly pressed his lips hard to her own. Sighing, he swiftly left the room, and slammed the door. Iliana listened a brief moment. There were voices on the other side of the door.
"Make sure no one, and I mean no one, enters this room. Do you understand me, servant?" Naraku demanded coldly.
"Yes Master, of c-course I do," the servant stuttered in reply.
Iliana shuddered at what he was going to do to her. Not do, she told herself sternly. She would find a way out of here before then. She glanced out of the window to the east. The sun was just now setting, so Naraku would be back shortly. Sighing, she pulled herself up onto her elbows. She dreaded the challenge ahead, but knew there was no way of escaping without any struggle.
She glanced around the room one more time, and noticed a sword lay beside the window, and Iliana smiled for the first time that evening. At least I will be able to take something of his when I escape, she thought gleefully.
