AN- Shout out and thank you's to my reviewers, LadyBriseis, Nirithil, and Dastardly Snail!
Ruth awoke to the sound of birds chirping.
But there were no trees near her house. Uncle had hated trees, and had cut them down just to spite his niece.
She rubbed her eyes, and the memories of that night crashed through her head.
She looked around at her surroundings through bleary eyes, and wondered if she was safe for the moment.
The room she was in was covered in murals of Iris's, all sorts of colors and sizes.
There was a oak dresser, and three doors that she assumed led to the closet, bathroom, and the hallway of the place.
She was lying in a huge bed shaped like a swan, with sheets the softest velvet.
Someone knocked on the door, causing her to tense.
Her uncle never knocked, he'd barge his way in whether she was dressed or not. After the first time that happened, (she'd never forgotten the lusty look in his eyes when he saw her in her bra and panties) she'd installed a lock herself.
The person entered a girl about Ruth's age with black hair and deep blue eyes. She curtseyed before the bed, then came over to the side. "Good mornin ma'am. Me name's Wendy, and I'm yer maid. Are ya needin anythin?"
Ruth stared at her. "You've a nasty bump ma'am, but you're in a safe place now." The girl added, gently touching the back of Ruth's head that was swollen and bruised.
"I'd like some food… and I have a few questions." Ruth said quietly, putting her face in her hands. Her head felt like it would explode, a ticking bomb that would go off any minute. She lay back down and closed her eyes.
"Okie dokey, I'll come back with the food ma'am. When would you like those questions answered?"
But Ruth had already fallen asleep, and Wendy left with a smile on her face. Maybe, just maybe this girl would at least keep the master calm. God knows something needed to be done.
AN- That is the way Wendy talks by the way, i did those mistakes on purpose. Thought u'd like to know!
