And I let him have the final word, he slammed the door behind him. Making me cringe at the loud noise. I thought hard about what I was to do. After giving it some thought I decided to stay where he asked me to. When he was here, I took a quick look at his butterflies, they were black. Thats probably the reason why I stayed, people with black butterflies are scary, I don't want to make him more mad.
The longer I stayed there, the more terror I felt building up in my stomache. My eyes started to droop. My eyes shut heavily.
As a maid, I was given certain jobs that I had to do. It was my first day so my jobs weren't the hardest. So, I probably won't have a good enough reason why they're not done. DAMN IT! My eyes smashed open, I yawned. I'd fallen asleep! All I could bother thinking about is my job, I can't lose it, ITS MY FIRST DAY! I started to punch the pillows and I could taste salty tears in my mouth. When I realised I was crying I got angrier and screamed into the pillow. ''why,why,why,why,why!''
After a couple of minutes, my tantrum died down and now I just lay there on this bed, screwing my hands into fists occasionally. It must have been at least two hours since he put me in here. I sudden burst of confidence had me off the bed and tip toeing over to the door.
I tried my luck and placed my hand on the handle.
It opened.
As soon as the door swung open I ran, careful of the clatter of my feet. I didn't want to, but I knew I'd have to stay the night to finish my work. If there's one thing I was good at it was seeking around when I needed to. I had to find the maids rooms. I couldn't help but let my mind wander back to the dark haired man who tried to hold me captive. Who was he? Why did he react like that? his eyes...
I found the maid room, I could sleep here tonight and finish off my work early before I have to start the next load. There was only one problem.. there was no one else in here, was I in the wrong room? No, I can't be. So where's every else? They can't all have gone home right? what time is it?
''Everyone else is at home, only personal servants tend to stay the night'' My heart stopped,I knew that voice. Suddenly I was smashed into the back wall a searing pain running through my left side... it was cold? I looked down and reached for it, next to me was a massive pole of ice, it had grazed me. I hadn't turned on the lights so I couldn't make out where it had come from. It went pitch black in that moment, so dark I couldn't make out whether I just had my eyes closed or not. I held my breath, that's all I could do to not scream, I could feel his presence. He was close, I felt his breath brush across the bridge of my nose. I just wont move, he won't realise I know he's there. Just. Stay. Still. ''You think playing dead's gonna help you?'' I jumped violently. Wait what? I could've sworn he was in front of me, how is he talking into my ear now. He sighed like he was happy, ''First you back-chat me, now you've disobeyed me,'' He laughed darkly, ''You really are desperate for attention aren't you?'' His hand's wrapped around my waist. I could feel his lips inches away from mine, I breathed in sharply. I want him to kiss me? No. No it's just him, provoking me that's it, he interrupted my thoughts, ''I can feel the heat of your cheeks from here,'' He said, teasing me now. Again he chuckled and removed his hands from around me, I felt his knee as he sat next to me. I screwed up my hands to try and stop them shaking. ''Now,'' there was a pause for what seemed like forever, ''Should I kill you?'' What? he want's to kill me? I couldn't stop my heart racing now, I gasped for air, was I having a panic attack? He sighed again, ''No, that's too easy, isn't it?'' Thank god. I still can't speak, my entire body's frozen with fear. ''Besides, you interest me,'' He clicked his fingers. The lights came on, they were flickering dimmer but they came on. I had to blink several times to adjust to the brightness. He stood up, my heart was still beating unnaturally fast, though I had a hint of relief now. ''But don't think this means you wont be punished,'' He started walking out of the room, leaving me, still speechless on the floor of the maids room. ''Oh and I'm lord not 'sir' to you,''
