Chapter 3

At the party, Lexi, like always, was walking around offering people drinks. She would sometimes talk to Ace and his friends Duck, Tech, Rev, and Slam. But then she would see Sir Bunny and rush to get back to work. She missed the time where she could actually enjoy the party with her friends, instead of work the party by herself.

Damien: Lexi, come here!

Lexi did as he said. Damien took a glass of wine off the tray. After he finished it, he put it back on the tray, and Lexi started to walk away, but Damien grabbed her hand.

Damien: Lexi, where are you going? I never told you to eave

Lexi: I have to get back to work.

Damien: Why?

Lexi: Because, your father will whip me if he sees me doing nothing.

Damien: Have it your way then.

He let go of Lexis' hand and pushed her on the floor and kicked her back. At the sound of the crashing gasses, everyone turned to Lexi. She was on the ground, wet from the wine. Some people started to laugh, which caused a whole roar of laughter. Lexi began to cry and then she ran out of the ballroom. Ace saw how hurt she was and ran after her. He found her crying on a rock outside.

Ace: Lex? Lexi are you alright?

Lexi: Yeah, Ace, I'm fine.

Ace: (sarcastically) Right. You look fine. Sitting outside in the cold. Crying.

Lexi: Ace, don't take this the wrong way, but-

Ace: I know you hate it here. I do to sometimes.

Lexi: Really?

Ace: Yeah, it's not all that fun. Watching my parents, brother, and sister torture my best friends. I'm sorry.

Lexi: For what?

Ace: I haven't been that helpful. I just kind of let all of this happen to you.

Lexi: You cleaned an entire ballroom in only a few hours. I should get back to work.

Ace: You sure?

Lexi: It's not like I want to. I just don't want to get whipped.

Ace and Lexi walked back to the manor where Sir and Lady Bunny were waiting for them. They were looking mostly at Lexi.

Sir Bunny: Lexi, if there weren't a ballroom full of people, you would get ten lashes for being such a klutz, ten for running out an leaving behind such mess, and twenty for making us look like idiots in front of company because we can't control the help. Now you have earned fifty for making us wait until tomorrow.

The next morning Lexi got up on time and saw Sir Bunny waiting with whip. It was a bit bloody because of all the other times she had been whipped. Lexi, knowing what was coming, turned around and waited for all of it to be over. She heard feet walk towards her and she just waited for him to undo the strings to her dress. Instead, he went over to the staircase and yelled.

Sir Bunny: Ace! Get down here now!

Ace went down the stairs only to find Lexi getting ready to be whipped. Sir Bunny handed him the whip.

Sir Bunny: Whip her.

Ace just stood there, Lexi just stood there not wanting to get whipped even more for talking back.

Sir Bunny: Come on, go whip her. Here I'll make it easier for you.

He walked up to Lexi and started to undo the strings to her dress. Her back had multiple cuts on it from being whipped.

Sir Bunny: There, now whip her.

Ace put the whip down walked up to her and started to re-lace her dress. Sir Bunny pushed Ace out of the way and picked up the whip and started to whip Lexi.

Sir Bunny: If you aren't going to this, I will.

Ace ran and pushed her out of the way and ended up getting whipped in the hand. He put down his whip and walked over to Ace.

Sir Bunny: Would you let me teach her a lesson. Her parents abandoned her and this is the we get for taking her in.

Ace pushed his father out of the way and went to help Lexi up.

Sir Bunny: Ace, get out.

He pushed Ace out of the room and locked the door. After that, he heard the sound of Lexis' screams from being whipped.
