Kelsey POV
What did I ever do to deserve this?
I screamed my bleeding head off, but this just caused me more and more pain. Lokesh grabbed my arm and slung me across the large room with unnatural strength. It was scary, and I was scared.
Lokesh had hair as black as night, and it would have made anyone cringe. His eyes darted from me to the guards, who were watching in amazement.
"Sir?" one asked. "Why are you doing thi-"
He never got the chance to finish. I saw Lokesh grab a short dagger from his black cloak that covered his entire body with long sleeves. He aimed it at the head of the beefy guard and threw.
He was better than Kishan and Ren. It hit the man in the eye, and he collapsed in pain. But his pain was only a fraction of the pain I was going through. I wasn't sure why he was doing this to me, probably because of everything I had done to the past guards.
My pain was psychological. In addition to the blood leaking through my forever ruined pores, the pain in my head was excruciating. Getting bit by a shark seemed like a walk in the park compared to this.
How he did it, I don't know. He had some evil magic in him, and he must have been even worse to Ren, one of his biggest enemies.
I didn't have enough strength to fight back. My fire/electric power didn't seem to work anymore, and Fanindra was nowhere to be found.
Lokesh turned his attention back to the mangled heap in the corner known as my body. He slowly approached, as if he were sizing me up with every step. "You are so much like her," I heard him mumble. "But you just aren't…"
He knelt down on one knee and yanked back my head. It had gone numb now from blood loss, so I couldn't feel anything. "You. Are. Mine."
I spat my blood, tears, saliva, and hatred at his tan face. He jerked back as it hit his cheek. I smiled, something I hadn't done I many hours. I could still fight back.
He suddenly smiled, a wicked smirk that sent shivers down my back. "So much like Deschen. I loved her you know, but she went off and married the fathers of your lovers. How are they?" he asked in a not so soothing tone.
"Excuse me?" I gasped.
"How are they, Alagan Dhiren and Sohan Kishan Rajaram? You wouldn't know, would you?"
It was like a slap in the face. How dare he ask me?
"I wanted them to be my own children. They would've done well with me. But no, I had a girl. A stupid, foolish girl that my wife named Yesubai. I wanted a boy, one that could have ruled with a iron fist, one that could have been in the military."
"But you didn't get a boy! You should have sucked it up and been grateful for what you got," I retorted.
"I almost got a son though," he continued. "Yesubai was to marry Dhiren, which would've given me so much power, and so much control. Plus, Dhiren would have made a great son. But he went off to war, and my daughter fell in love with another. The boy's brother, Kishan. He obeyed me. But, I needed there amulets for power. I still need them."
He grabbed my hair and pulled me up to him. I was on my feet and black spots were in my eyesight. I stumbled, but he supported me. I suppose that was nice of him, but I didn't care.
"Keeping you here will bring them to me. I will have the amulets and we will be married."
"You're sick in the head."
"I've been told worse. The tigers will come."
I knew that, and it frightened me. I didn't want them getting hurt. And they would get hurt because of me!
"But for now, my beautiful princess, sleep tight."
I blacked out.
When I came to, I first noticed that I was completely clean. That was a first. I hadn't been even remotely clean in weeks.
And a Panda was eating bamboo above my head.
I automatically knew that wasn't right. Every cell had sand everywhere, so I had to be in the desert, and as far as I knew, there was no bamboo in the desert.
Munch, munch. It looked at me with big black eyes. I reached up and scratched his ears, and his face turned into the palm of my hand. He reminded me of Ren, and how I used to scratch his ears when we lived in Oregon.
"Hey, baby, what are you doing in here, hm?" I asked in a soothing tone. He stared at me and tilted his head as if he were confused.
I sat up and stretched my arms out wide, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. When I opened them, I surveyed the room I was in.
My jaw dropped tot eh floor and refused to come back up.
The room was like my own mini mansion, but it wasn't normal. It was made of luscious, green plants and beautiful flowers. I was lying on a bed with silk sheets and fluffy pillows. The ceiling was about thirty feet high, and bamboo hung from it. A ladder was in the corner and it connected to a jungle gym, most likely for the panda. The furniture was exquisite and obviously expensive. The floor was made of finely cut grass.
I was in a light blue silk robe. I stood up and walked over to another room, hoping it was a bathroom. And thankfully it was. A fully vanity was inside, and the doorknob was made of a diamond. Everything was porcelain.
I looked at a long, full length mirror. My skin, which had been covered in scars not so long ago, was now a perfect pale shade of white. My hair was down in lots of tiny braids that all came together in a bun on the top of my head. I looked like the perfect picture of health.
But I felt horrible on the inside.
Where in the world was I? This was just not right. I was supposed to be in a small cell, covered in cry, yellow sand, and aching from thirst. I was supposed to be with Mr. Kadam, trying my best to sleep, and less confused than I was now.
My insides still felt weak and jumbled from Lokesh. I found a chair and fell in it. It was made of velvet, and vines tied up around the arms of it. I gripped it tightly, and tried to get the nauseous feeling out of my system. It didn't work out.
I eventually stood up. I paced back a forth, then had to run cold water all over my face. It was turning a disgusting shade of green. The water didn't do much, but it was cold.
Cold…
Nothing I had had in the past weeks had ever been cold. It was always hot, never quenching, and left me wanting more. This made me never want water again.
Lokesh was sick minded. He kept me locked up and tortured for who knows how long, and now he was trying to treat me nicely and like a human being.
I threw up, over and over again. Nothing was in my stomach, but I still managed to hack and vomit. When I was done, I stumbled back into my bedroom and lay on new bed. The panda got down next to me, but now, he had a piece of paper in his mouth instead of bamboo. I snatched it and opened it.
Dear Kelsey,
My Queen, I hope your new room is to your liking. I want my Queen to be comfortable. Now, you may find out that the door to you room is locked. Yes, yes, I cannot let you leave. You are mine, and mine only. You have Roger to keep you company for the time being. I have everything in there that you could ever want. Food will be brought to you three times a day, and water is always available. That is all for now.
-L
I crumpled up the paper. I hated him with all of my heart. How could someone ever be this selfish?
Roger?
"Who in the world is Roger?" I exclaimed.
The panda's head shot up and directed all of his attention to me. "Are you Roger?" I asked, and then he actually nodded.
"Okay, well at least I have one friend."
I stood again and looked around. I had a large fountain in the room, but it was more like a pond. Roger crawled over to it and flopped in, spraying water all over me.
"Hey! Don't do that!" I laughed, and I splashed some back at him with my foot.
I suddenly heard a hissing noise, and I whipped around. I didn't see anything, but I could feel a presence.
"Who's there?"
The hiss came again, and my eyes fell upon a large leaf. And Fanindra was lying on it.
"How did you get in here," I whispered, grabbing her. She slid up my arm and changed into a bracelet.
"Okay, don't answer me then, but don't think I'm useless. I am going to get out of here. I'm not lying down yet."
