Chapter 6
I took hold of the pendant, trying to focus, trying to reach Raziel. No luck within the first 10 seconds, though. "Hi, Georgia." he answered, "I'm glad you have your pendant back, me and Kain were getting worried."
"Kain was worried?" It didn't seem like him, not even towards me.
"Well, of course. You're his only really family left in all the world. I know that sounds weird, because I was his vampire son, his first. Sure, he loved me and never showed it. But, it's not the same kind of love for you; I'm not exactly his flesh and blood. Never was. Kain's only now, slowly, learning to express love now. In my personal experience, I think you're best thing to have happened to him." Raziel explained.
"What's happening now?" he asked.
"The clone is getting me food right now; then he's letting me have a bath afterwards. I'm gonna check for any windows and such for an escape." I answered.
"Good. Oh, you remember when Kain taught you how to detect poisons by their distinct smell, no matter how dull the sense can be, right?"
"Ah hah..." I replied with a small nod.
"Don't forget to do that when he brings in your food. He may want you, but there's no knowing how crazy he really is. Ok?" He said, deeply concerned.
"Ok..."
Raziel closed our connection, and just then, Whatshispickle-that-looks-like-Kain walked in with my food. He has supplied a tray with water, a cold chicken and salad plate, pumpkin soup, buttered bread, and a small tub of vanilla ice cream. It looked and smelled a whole lot yummier than what you would get in a hospital, that's for sure! He set it down into a table for me and brought it up to the bed. I got stuck into it as soon as it was in reach. I was so damn hungry, I could pretty much finish it all within seconds!
Since the clone couldn't fit a word in to say something to me while I was scoffing my face, he just got up, placing a white silk bathrobe on my bed next to me. The he began to leave the room. Just before he closed the door, I managed to swallow down the food in my mouth without chocking myself, "Thank you." No matter how much I hated this guy, still had to be well-mannered out of habit... Honestly, I really don't know what's gotten into me these days...
"Your welcome, Georgia." he replied, closing the door completely. You could almost hear him smile, and I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Fifteen minutes later, he led me to his bathing chamber. It looked more like a royal dancing room or something! In the center of the room was the spa, it was huge (!), and it was already filled, topped with bubbles, of course. It had black and blue tiles on the floor. The walls were light blue as well as the pillars around the room – The pillars being roman-like. I looked around the room for any windows or any other way for escape while I was bathing. I noticed one window that was high enough for me to reach later on. It gleamed light onto the bubbles on the spa.
"In you go." The bastard said to me. I just looked at him, shocked. 'Aren't you gonna leave and let me have my privacy?' I thought.
"Don't worry, I promise not to look." He said, turning his back to the spa. I walked towards the spa, disappointed that I might not be able to make my escape, and taking my robe off. I placed it onto the table near the spa, not sure if the doppelgänger was watching, and I didn't want to look to check either. I placed my pendant into a little box to keep it safe and I put it on top of my robe before stepping into the spa.
I sunk my head under the water to get my hair wet and brought myself back up. It felt really refreshing, until the clone put soap into my hair and started to clean me. I almost got a fright, "What are you doing?"
"Cleaning your hair. What else would it seem like?" He replied, sarcastically.
"No, I meant why are you doing this?"
"You're a guest in my home and I have to tend to your needs. Especially since you've gone through a lot these past two nights since we met, it's the least I could do." He said to me, sincerely.
I just wanted to cry right now and wish for this all to stop, but I knew that was impossible. So I just let him clean my hair, and he combed it gently while the soap was still in it. He grabbed a jug with water already in it, bringing my head back, "Close your eyes." I did what I was told. He kept rinsing until he was sure all the soap was gone, and brought my head forward. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. Everything felt like it was brighter than it originally was.
At this point, the doppelgänger got a sponge with vanilla/cinnamon scented shower gel – Which was always my favourite gel. He lifted my arm up and began scrubbing me. This is where it got scary for me, but not once did he touch my tits or go below there. Once he was finished with my back, shoulders, neck and arms, he handed the sponge to me and said, "I'm sure you'd rather clean your private areas and everywhere else now, than let me do it." I took the sponge from him and started off with my legs. He sat on a chair and watched.
"You know, you could've continued cleaning me and end up having me." I said, shaken almost.
"I know. But, I also have respect for you. You're not a slut or a whore like a lot of young women your age; and I'm not saying this just because you're a virgin. Even virgins can be real sluts."
'How did you know I'm virgin?' I screamed in my mind.
"I won't take you yet. I want to get to know you first. Like a real gentleman." He smiled.
I just thought, 'A real gentleman doesn't in a way tell a woman of 17 that he'll eventually have sex with her against her will. Besides, you wouldn't know a real gentleman if one came and bit you in the face.'
I had finished clean all the dirt off my body and the clone handed me a towel. He turned around while I got out. I grabbed my robe and pendant, and he walked me out of the bathing room, leading me back to my room.
"I'll come back, if I need you again before dinner. You look tired. Try getting some sleep in the meantime?"
"Ok." I replied, nervously. He gave me a harsh kiss on the lips, and walked out of the room, locking the door.

(Normal POV)
"Kain, I we're lost. This forest is too big, and we're unfamiliar with it. We won't find Georgia at this rate." Janos says to Kain. Kain gripped Soul Reaver and began conversation with Raziel, "Raziel we need you to help us find Georgia. Are we close?"
"No, you're nowhere near her. I can't pinpoint her location exactly. All I can say is she is deep within the forest."
"What?"
Raziel had already faded out of the conversation.
"So, what now?" Janos asks
"It seems like we're stuck here. She's deep in the forest. It'll be like seeking a needle in a haystack." Kain replies, obviously very frustrated.
Again, sorry for not updating for months. I'm trying to make my updates a lot quicker now, though. R&R in the meantime!
