Chapter4 - punishment
"When is that idiot going to come back? I can't live without water and food forever! And being tied to the bed for days straight isn't exactly what you would call pleasuring either."
Regina had seen the sun go up and down a few times now, but he still hadn't been back to check on her, maybe see if she needed anything. She'd been alone for three days and was dying, literally, to get some water.
The worrying wasn't exactly helping either. How was her wife, or her son? Was he holding them captive too? Or was it just Regina that he was after? What if he hurt them? Or worse, killed them.
What was it that he wanted from Regina anyway? It's not like she had a lot to offer at the moment. Yes she had money and happiness. But is that worth all this trouble? Oh and she had magic of course, but there was no way he could ever know that, right? "No. He doesn't know, there's no way he could have ever found out about it." Regina said in an effort to calm herself.
The sound of a car stopping in front of the house interrupted her thoughts. A door unlocked and she could hear footsteps on something that sounded like old wooden stairs, which would fit the room she was in. The room eyed old and the woodwork was clearly visible. Maybe it was a farm? It would fit the surroundings. All those empty lands. It's so quiet around here, it doesn't look like anybody lives near this place at all. "I guess I'll have to get out of here on my own then." Regina said, despair in her voice.
The door opened and he came walking in.
"Sorry for making you wait my love. Here drink." He said as he walked up to her and held a water bottle to her mouth. And after that offering her some food.
"So darling, how have you been?" He said with an unexpected care in his voice.
"What do you think? Did you want me to die in here? My stomach didn't even growl anymore and my wrists feel like they're broken! Why did you keep me waiting here for so long?" Regina said not caring what the consequences might be.
"Why do you feel the need to keep me here anyway? I can't give you anything I don't have! Especially when you kill me." Regina knew straight away that she shouldn't have said that. But she couldn't stop herself, she has to know the answers.
"You don't deserve answers to that, especially not after what you have just done. And I told you, if you don't do as I please there will be punishment."
