Chapter 2
The drive was nearly completely silent as his cold eyes watched the road with an intensity she hoped would not be turned on her as she was unsure of how long she could take their harsh gaze. Her eyes watched out the window quietly, counting the number of trees they passed and trying to memorize the scenery they passed.
Sooner than she expected, the car came to a smooth halt, the key being pulled from its ignition. Vincent walked to her side of the vehicle and unbuckled her, lifting her by her still bound hands.
The home that stood in front of her was stunning. It consisted of 3 stories and was marvelous to say the very least. Strings of lights hung to a 3 seasons room from the balconies on the 2nd floor, lighting it in the black night. It reminded her of Italy, or what pictures she had seen of it. Eyes, going to the top of the structure, there were several large glass windows that went to one room that looked particularly spacious.
"You seem to like my home, yes?"
The timid female nodded quietly.
"It's beautiful…"
He smiled softly from what she could see by the dim lighting of the strings hung above them. Their steps were quiet as they walked to the front doors, large wooden doors which were of normal height but of a very large width.
Their footsteps echoed on the granite floors as he led her along with a rather harsh pace. His voice was aggressive when he spoke, seeming to be losing his patience. "Keep up."
Pandora found herself being led down a stairway to a dimly lighted basement. Her eyes widened as she saw where he was leading her, a cell. "You will call this cell home until I find I can trust you enough to be in a normal room, I cannot take a chance with the amount I paid for you."
Nearly throwing her inside the cage, he then locked the door and stalked off rather quickly, eyes shining with either anger or something else, which she couldn't quite make out.
For hours she sat in the cell, investigating her surroundings and trying to see outside of her cell. It being nearly pitch black, she could see very little. Tire finally got the better of her and she went to sleep, quietly closing her eyes and curling up on the tiny bed she was provided with in the small 8 by 8 cell.
