Chapter 4:

What had I just seen? Was Lust trying to make me jealous? Well I wasn't going to fall for it, I didn't even like Lucifer. They could keep him. I hardly even knew him so how was I supposed to feel in this situation? All I knew right now was that I didn't care what they did with each other. All I wanted to do was go home and forget this ever happened. Get on with my life, but I knew that it wasn't that simple, he'd keep coming after me even if I managed to escape. I start paying attention to the detail of the hallways I pass through, each one more detailed than the last. Each with a different painting that complemented the interiors.I remember I'm being dragged by the wrist by Sloth, her grip is like a vice and I knew there would be possible bruises later on….

Sloth: Your room *Yawn*

We stop outside an authentic wooden door with a gold door handle. The door itself is enchanting and mysterious at the same time. Sloth's words break my concentration.

Sloth: Aren't you going to open the door? *Stating bluntly*

Amity: Oh right, I forgot, heh, sorry about that.

I try and lighten the mood but she doesn't seem to smile. She gives me a dull stare. The air around us has become awkward and uncomfortable. She then begins to leave.

Sloth: Whatever you do, don't leave your room without an escort after dark.

Amity: Why do you say that?

Sloth: Even though you are Lucifer's bride to be, a lot of us still hold grudges against you, that's including me, and there's no telling what anyone of us might do to you if we find you alone from now on, so watch your back.

Amity: I never chose to be here.

Sloth: Maybe not but Lucifer's the one that chose you and for that we hate you for it.

Amity: What if I manage to escape?

Sloth: Heh…. Good luck with that, you'll need it.

She then leaves and I am left alone. Taking a breath, I open the door to what would be my room. The inside of the room was extravagant. I was completely in awe of what I was seeing. The room itself could have held at least 15 of my apartments within it, the carpet and walls were different shades of blue. It was a big change from the rest of this place. There was a king sized bed at the far side of the room, above it was some kind of white cloth. The giant window on the wall that faced the door was draped with cream coloured curtains that lead to a balcony. There were two doors on either side of the walls, one was a walk in wardrobe and the other a bathroom, both were extremely spacious. Too spacious. It felt lonely, loneliness I had not yet known to have existed. So sitting down in an armchair that leaned on a wall next to a book shelf, I take in my surroundings. I would be living here from now on a prisoner within these walls, no escape. With nothing else to do I stand up and walk over to the book shelf. Deciding to pick out an adventure story and sit down again, upon opening the first chapter I start to notice that every fifth letter is circled. Could this be some kind of clue of a way out of here? I sure hope so.

I then begin to look for a piece of paper and a pen. I eventually find something and start writing down the letters that have been circled.

Two steps north, 3 steps back, crab legs are six , don't trust the first, remember blue is red, red is blood, knock 13 times, quiet as a mouse, tie a ribbon round the neck, yank, drop, help me.

I had no idea what this meant, this had made me really confused, was this meant to help me escape? Well it wasn't helping. I soon start to hear screaming sounds, with no idea where it was coming from I decided I should look around. Sloth had told me it was a bad idea to walk around at night without someone else with me, but curiosity got the best of me. So closing the door behind me silently I start walking towards the source of the noise till I end up at a door. The door was slightly ajar and what I saw could not have been unseen.

There was Lust and Lucifer naked on a bed grabbing at each other constantly. I couldn't believe it I felt betrayed like a part of my heart had been ripped out of my chest and had been stamped on repeatedly. Turning away, I run back to my room in tears of hurt. Why was I crying in sadness when I had only met Lucifer earlier today, why did I care what he got up to in his spare time, it's not like I was jealous…. Was I? No of course I wasn't, then why was I crying. It just didn't make sense. Opening the door to my room I make sure that my door is closed properly, I then slide down the door and cry to my heart's content. Becoming tired I pick myself up and walk over to the bathroom, I take a shower and get in some flannel pyjamas that are blue and white and when I get in to bed and place my head upon one of the pillows, I'm instantly asleep with no energy to stay awake any longer I let my dreams take over.
