-your pov-
You woke up to the sound of scrubbing and humming faintly coming from the corner behind you. Your weary eyes trailed the part of the room you could see without moving. There was a small black table with a matching chair and rags sitting atop them. You decided to roll over to see who the calming hums were coming from rather than loath in self-pity. Deciding it would be smarter to turn all at once rather than draw it out you used your arms to push yourself over. Almost regretting it immediately you held yourself together with deep breaths and limited movement to calm down. Staring at the corner of the room a girl looked to be cleaning the floor her hair was a reddish orange color with thick curls. You framed your lips to say excuse me but nothing came out only wheezing and coughing that shook you to your core. She turned towards you instantly her face not impressed at all, "you were not supposed to be awake." she grunted looking at you in disbelief. "S-Sorry." you stuttered out impressed you could even form words and disgusted that you sounded like a baby. She dropped her rag coming towards you swiftly "I'm Sigyn, I will be the person who cleans after... "Her voice trailed off in such a way you couldn't hear her. "I'm (name)" you replied hoarsely, "I know who you are" silence overcame the room you didn't know if she was a friend or an enemy. "Can you sit up?" she asked sweetly, "I can try but it hasn't worked so Far." you answered straining to raise your body upwards. She helped to guide you gingerly saying to go slowly, you listened but it didn't help the throbbing agony that was all over. "Raise your dress." She demanded, tugging at the hem of your dress." why would I do that?" you whispered meekly not wanting to raise your arms. "So I can help out, now hurry up before a guard comes." she started pulling it over your head with your help it soon littered the floor. "how bad is it?" she looked up at your face tearing it away from your body "a few broken bones for sure, the bite marks seem to be-" "bite marks?" you blurted out "no I don't have bite marks I was beaten sure but no one bit me at all ." she frowned pulling some ointment from her satchel "maybe you just didn't remember or blacked out, they are quite fresh ." this made you look down at your breasts, she was right there were deep bite marks all over them... you were wearing a blue bra and green panty set when you left with the guards you remembered distinctly because you had just got them. Looking around the room there wasn't a scrap of fabric but your dress on the ground next to Sigyn. "Was my underwear on the floor when you came?" in desperate need on an answer, she shook her head "just the vomit I cleaned ... I'm so sorry." She was adding one and two together like you were doing " let me see my dress." you demanded out stretching a hand she picked it up and placed it in your hand hastily stepping back. You saw a big blotch of dried blood on the back of the dress, you wanted to assume it was from the beating you received but it was on the back of the dress and much too low for it to come anywhere else than your womanhood."(name) speak what you're feeling the silence is causing me to worry." you met her eyes " it's fine it's probably just that time of the month ." you shot her an ungenuine smile. You knew it wasn't but pretty lies felt safer than the reality. Your body betrayed your lips and began shaking involuntarily "its fine really." you insisted, your lips quivering as much as the rest of you. Sigyn said nothing instead she took off her coat covering you in it securely before she held your hand allowing you to cry silently. Not one word was shared but it wasn't needed "I have to go before my duties go unfinished I promise I'll return with new clothes, rest, the ointment will help you feel less pain." she said in a low voice placing a small jar in your hand, you didn't even have the motivation to even thank her you just kept staring at the white floors. She picked up her bucket, rag, and your blood-stained dress scurrying out the door.
