Hey all, sorry for a long delay. All types of sicknesses are going around and working in a doctor's office, I finally caught something and it slowed my butt down. I am getting over it, just my energy is low so that's why my updates have been slow the past few days.

My pillow was incredibly soft, so much that I curled up and held it closer to me. I inhaled deeply feeling my eyes slowly open. I blinked gently and looked around sluggishly to see I was back in the room, I had been held in before. I slowly sat up noticing the differences in the room. On the wall the bed was up against, were numerous pages of drawings and sketches. They of different things this time. Ansel's paintings. Some were of beautiful oceans and its ocean life. Others were of gardens and nature. At the end of the bed was a long oak desk with pencils and papers on it. A small cup with no pens or pencils in it, smart. I slowly moved from the bed noticing an insulin pen was neatly placed in the middle of the desk. I tilted my head in confusion before looking at the wall where the door was.
More drawings were taped to the wall, but they weren't as sophisticated as Ansel's. It was almost like a child drew them. Did all of the personalities do this. There a metal bar with my clothes hung up on them in the space above the head board. On the floor beside the railing, was a thick looking book. I leaned over it and noticed it was a history book on Roman culture. On top of is was a small card that said Orwell on it. I slowly opened the book to see a DVD case of the exorcist inside. What is all this?
"Gifts."
I jumped and turned so fast, I fell right on my bottom. Dennis. He was standing over me, his hands clasped together and his eyes as calm, and dark as usual. I slowly began to get to my feet. I felt an cramp in my groin and immediately hissed some.
"Gifts?" I asked gently rubbing my stomach and he nodded.
"From the others. They are… very excited to meet you. They trust you now that the Beast trusts you." he said with mild hesitance. I swallowed some looking around at the new stuff in my room.
"And what about you, Patricia and Hedwig?" I asked lightly. He stared at me intently before taking a few steps toward me. I leaned back some and turned my body to the side a bit.
"They are their own mind. Now that you have met the Beast, you know that you can never leave and if you somehow manage to then he will find you," he said now standing even closer to me causing me to look down some at the ground as his face neared me. "He knows your scent. Both here… and here."
He placed his hand over my chest and then slid it down between my legs and I whimpered some. The memories came back entirely and I shut my eyes tight as he removed his hand from me. Each thrust, each growl, I felt and heard it all again.
"He will kill many to find you. You cannot run and you cannot hide." he said and stepped away from me moving over to the desk. He sat his palm on the desk, his back to me, but his head turned to me some.
"Barry thought you may like a desk to sit at. He thought you'd like to sit and listen to a nice lecture from Mr. Prichard or even Orwell." he said before looking down at the history book. "If you like movies, then maybe Luke will appeal to you more." Why does it sound like trying to make the other personalities sound favorable?
"And what about you? Am I not going to see you again?" I asked. Dennis turned to me now, eyes mildly soft.
"We are not the same anymore. You and I… have changed. You grew up in a sense. I didn't." he said. What did that mean? Was I no longer going to see this personality again?
"And what of Kevin?" I asked. He shook his head approaching me again.
"Kevin is sleeping. I cannot say if he will ever be back." he merely replied. My mouth dropped some in shock.
"And the Beast?" I asked.
"Will come more and more when he wants you. It seems you've made an impression on all of us." he said. His words frightened me and I wasn't sure how to handle it. He was going to come back? What did that mean?
"How?" I asked. He looked down at my chest raising his hand some toward it. I mildly tensed as his hand neared my left breast, but it never connected.
"You're his Eve." he said. "And with his protection of everyone, they will all like you. Patricia and I have seen to it." He began to walk over to the door and I grabbed his hand finally, and my body acted before my brain because I didn't know why I did it.
"What happened to those girls?" I asked, my voice shaking some. Dennis looked at our hands and looked at me.
"They are gone. But there will be more. The Beast will need more, but you have nothing to worry about. None of us would ever hurt you." he said. I squeezed his hand a bit more.
"Dennis. I'm scared." I replied moving closer to him, but his back never turned to me. "This is all too much. I don't know if I can do this- if I can trust everyone." There was a long silence between us now and I didn't know what to make of it.
"You can trust me." he said firmly.
"Does that mean you're sticking around?" I asked. He nodded slowly.
"I can tell you more about the others so if they visit you'll know how to talk to them. You're going to be here for a while so you might as well make some friends while you're here." he said. A chill moved up my spine at his words. My grip on his hand loosened and he slid easily from my hold. "I'll be back with food."
And like that he's gone. I'm left standing there in place as I feel hot tears slide down my face. He's just one man, yet has some type of power I couldn't even comprehend. He's not a normal man with DID, no he is something entirely different and I needed to find out what he was if I was going to escape. But if I try, then the Beast could find me. Where could I go?
I sank to my knees and covered my face with my hands. I was seriously freaking out. I wasn't dealing with just one man I was dealing with 24 personalities, the 24th being the most dangerous one. Maybe he is the way out, one of his other personalities can help me. They can't all want this could they? Only one way to find out. Dennis said they had minds of their own. Which could only make me wonder what he thinks of all of this.
I checked the door to see if it was locked, and of course it was. I turned and placed my back to the door trying to even out my breathing. It seemed I would be locked in again and so I decided to look through the history book that was left by Orwell. The font was small and in brown lettering. It was very old, the tips of the book were faded and I could see the cardboard beneath it. This was very strange. I hardly got anything from it. I looked at the DVD that was left for me. Maybe it was Luke who left this for me. I wondered what the other personalities were like. Were they good? Or were they like the Beast?
All I knew was that Dennis would take more girls to satisfy this Beast and that would mean more and more deaths and I couldn't let that happen. The door finally opened and in came Patricia with a smile on her face.
"Good afternoon, Teleya." she said with a plate of what looked like spaghetti. I did my best to put on a smile as I closed the book.
"Patrica, hello." I said as she entered the room, leaving the door mildly cracked.
"I hope you slept well. You had quite an exquisite night." she said raising her hand out to me. "I made you some spaghetti with smashed Italian sausage and hamburger meat with marinara sauce!" She seemed so excited for her work and I smiled weakly and took the plate.
"Thank you it looks delicious." I said. There was a metal fork inside the noodles. Of course, it was a good weapon, but with Patricia right there, there was no way I was using it. I picked it up and swirled the noodles around together. I could see some diced tomatoes inside and once I tried it, I noticed it was really good.
"Wow, this is so good." I complimented and Patricia smiled crossing her legs on the bed.
"I am glad you like it. I figured you will need your strength." she said. I chewed a bit slower as I tilted my head some.
"For what?" I asked curiously.
"Oh will the Beast once to see you again in the next few days. I don't know when but he will." she said. I swallowed slowly as I looked at her more intently.
"W-why would he want that?" I asked and she grinned deviously.
"Well because he likes your company, silly, we all do." she said looking back at my food once more. I could tell she looked worried that I wasn't eating some, so I twirled more spaghetti and put it in my mouth. The information given, tightened my stomach and I was too stressed to eat.
"Is he just going to be seeing me or…?"
"Oh no darling. After the last young ladies were brought in, Dennis had already gone looking for others for when these girls were… taken care of. He's so forward thinking that man. He will be bringing more here soon." she said. I slowly nodded as I kept eating.
"I see." I said, my face feeling pale and flushed.
"Oh do not worry about a thing. He and I have spoken." she said. I glanced back up at her feeling even worse now.
"You have… hope it was good things." I said lightly and she nodded.
"Oh yes. The Beast feels he didn't give you enough love and pleasure on your first meeting, and I know first impressions are everything to him. So Barry will find a new dress made from Ansel's drawings." She said tilting her head
"From his drawings? He already has dresses made?" I asked and she nodded.
"Mhm. Oh my dear, Barry started making the dresses way before Dennis came for you. After sweet Kevin saw you, he got started right away. So when you came here, you could bring Ansel's drawings to life." she explained placing her hands together and placing them at her lips in excitement.
So they had already had a plan to kidnap me for quite some time. I had completely lost my appetite and luckily most of the food was gone as I handed Patricia the plate.
"Good?" she asked. I nodded.
"Yes." I said lightly. Her smile remained as she took my plate.
"Good I am glad. Now I shall return shortly dear. Dennis will be going to pick up our guests. And he even mentioned getting you a sweet treat. I advised maybe some chocolate mousse." she said with a gentle smile before getting up and leaving the room. I let out a shaky breath now. So he was coming back and there was nothing I could do.

So now we are going to meet only a select few of the personalities, not everyone. I will show the personalities we have seen in the movies and I may use some of the names from Split and add my own version of them to meet Teleya so we get to see a few new personalities.
