Breakfast, Meeting Rocky, and New Friends.
Note:Here's another chapter. I hope you're enjoying the story so far. I hope I'm doing okay with it and not writing Frank and the other characters too much out of character. There's some physical abuse and attempted sex in this one so just a heads up. Let me know what you think!
I woke up from a dreamless sleep, and realized I was still in this strange castle. In a few minutes, Magenta came to get me for breakfast. We walked down the hall and eventually came to a dining room. There was a large table that was set with cups, plates and silverware. Riff, Frank, Columbia, were already seated. I decided to sit in the chair across from Columbia. Magenta went to the kitchen to get the food she cooked for us. She came back with a cart full of food. There were waffles, sausage, bacon, toast and a big pitcher of orange juice. She served Frank first, and made her way around the table. I started to eat my food slowly, avoiding to make any eye contact with Frank.
I think he may have noticed since he was the first to break the silence. "Did you sleep well last night, Daphne? I do hope the room worked out for you." I noticed the blonde man sitting next to Frank was smiling at me. "Excuse me for asking, but who is that sitting next to you?" Frank looked puzzled for a minute, but then realized who I was talking about. "Oh, yes, how rude of me not to properly introduce you. This is Rocky. He's good for relieving my tension." He looked over at Rocky and smirked I continued not to look at him and ate my food. "Thank you for your hospitality. I was wondering if I could use your phone after I finish breakfast. I really should be getting home." Frank's face changed to a look of sadness. "I wish you could, darling, but sadly the phone still isn't working. It may still be a few more days before we get it fixed. Surely you don't want to leave yet." I started to get nervous again. "Well, it's nice of you to offer me a place to stay, but I really need to get home. I don't want to be a bother." I still thought this would get me out of here. Frank stood up and walked over to me. "Nonsense. It's no trouble at all. We like having new company here, and you can stay here as long as you need to. But there are somethings I will need you to help out with. You can help Magenta with the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and anything else I can think of." I nodded, and felt uneasy at the way he said that last part. Riff and Magenta looked at each other knowingly. The expressions on their faces conveyed sadness and guilt. "Now that breakfast is finished, I suppose Rocky and I will head up to my room. Would you be a lamb and help Magenta with the clean up? I'm sure she would appreciate your help with cleaning the dishes and cleaning the house." "Yeah, sure," I said quietly. "Excellent. We'll be on our way. And Daphne...I do hope to have the chance to be around you more often. It's been awhile since I've had company, and I want to become better acquainted with you." He chuckled darlky and said it in a way that implied something much more than a general friendly conversation. With that, Frank turned around and left with Rocky. Since Magenta and I had the rest of the house to clean, she told Columbia to go clean their room to help decrease the workload.
Magenta and I were washing the dishes, and since we were alone, she decided it must have been a good time to give me some more advice. Maybe even more so when I brought up how she and Riff were looking at each other. "Hey, Magenta. When we were eating breakfast and Frank was telling me the things he wanted me to do to help out around here, why were you and Riff looking so sad at each other? Is there something you know that you haven't told me?" She sighed and looked at me, her eyes once again conveying sadness and guilt. "Yes, and sadly there is more that I am about to tell you. You remember last night when I told you Frank likes to use people as his sexual playthings, right? Well there's more to it than what I told you. You should know that Frank has no intention of letting you go. He's doing everything he can to make you stay here. We don't have a phone, we never did. We have no choice but to help him trap people here, you know what will happen if we challenge him." I teared up, I was upset. But I couldn't be mad at her and Riff, they had no choice. "There's something else you should know. Frank, Riff, and I are not from this planet. We come from a place called Transexual, Transilvainia. Frank is the prince of Transexual so we can't stop him from doing what he wants. Riff and I want to go home, but Frank won't hear of it. We are fed up with him, how he treats us and others. We feel terrible you got into this mess. Know that of we could help you, we would. I don't know what Frank has planned, but it would be wise to stay on your toes. Be very careful when venturing throughout this castle at night. Everyone else is usually asleep, but Frank is usually prowling about. If you're not careful, he may grab you from behind and take you. He's also been known to sneak into the guest's rooms while they were sleeping. No matter what happens be careful and stay alert." I nodded but started crying. "But why me, Magenta? Why would he want me? I just want to go home." Magenta pulled me into a hug. "Sweetie, I know this must be hard for you. Just remember that you can consider me a friend." I was able to calm down a bit having her as a friend definitely makes this more bearable. "Thanks, Magenta. That really means a lot." She smiled and said, "You're welcome. Come now, we still have to finish cleaning the rest of the house." We didn't finish cleaning it until later that night. Magenta and I went upstairs to get ready for bed.
When we made to her and Columbia's room, she said, "I forgot to tell you, make sure Frank doesn't see you and Rocky together. Rocky is his and no one else's, so he likes to think. Frank is very possessive of him and gets extremely jealous whenever someone else is with him. His jealousy causes him to be extremely violent, he even killed Columbia's boyfriend Eddie just because he stole the spotlight from him and made Rocky dance." "Wow, what a selfish asshole. So he's totally okay with abusing people and using them as his sexual playthings, expecting them to be loyal only to him, and he won't let people fall in love with anyone else and be together? How hypocritical." She agreed with me. "Good night and remember what I told you." "I will thanks, Magenta."
I left to go to my room, and got on the bed. Just as I was starting to doze off, I heard my door creak open. "Hello? Is someone there? Magenta, is that you?" I felt someone plop down on the bed. I almost fell off but a strong arm grabbed me, and pulled me back on the bed. It was dark and I couldn't see very well, but I could tell the hands felt soft and manicured. The body shifted on top of me. I was starting to panic, but I was able to keep some control. "Magenta, is.. is that you? Columbia?" I turned on the light. I screamed when I saw that it was Frank. He wasn't made up like he usually is. He was in a black robe with a dragon on the back of it. He had very light make up on, he was only wearing blue eye shadow and some lipstick. If it wasn't for the circumstance, I could say that the blue eye shadow looked nice on him. It brought out his green eyes nicely. His hair was tied back in a pink hair tie. He covered my mouth to stop me from screaming. He removed his hand. "Frank, what the hell?!" He chuckled and said, "There's nothing to be scared of, my little dove. I only want a good time. Don't you want to have some fun?" "No! I don't even know you! Get away from me!" I tried wiggling about of his grip, but I couldn't get him to loosen it. "If you give in, you'll like it, I promise." He started kissing my neck. "Damn it, I-I s-said no!" "But it feels nice, doesn't it. There's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself, dove." He wasn't wrong it felt nice, really good in fact. Part of me didn't want him to stop, but I couldn't let him just take me. He planted a few more kisses down my neck and on my collar bone. I think he was so distracted by kissing me it caused him to loosen his grip and I was able to slide away from him. I ran for the door. "Daphne," he said warning tone, dangerously low. I put my hand on the doorknob. "Don't you dare-!" I opened the door and ran out. "Daphne, get back here!" I knew Frank would chase after me, so I had to be quick. I ran to Columbia and Magenta's room and slammed the door behind me.
"Daphne, what's wrong?" "It's Frank. He came into my room and tried to have sex with me and I wouldn't let him. I know he's coming after me, and he's probably really mad." I was struggling to catch my breath. I could tell Magenta wasn't happy. "What the hell? I told you how Frank gets. Now you may have made it a whole lot worse by putting him in a fowl mood." I heard heels clicking and getting closer. "Oh, Daphne," he crooned and laughed. "Come now, I only want a bit of fun." I heard him getting closer and I was starting to panic. "I know I should've let him sleep with me, but I'm sorry Magenta, I just couldn't do it. Please, you've got to help me hide somewhere, please." Magenta sighed. "Alright, Columbia and I share a bathroom. You can hide in there. Columbia, go hide with her." Columbia nodded and we went into the bathroom. We hid in the shower and pulled the curtain so it would be easier for us to hide. Just as we finished pulling the curtain, I heard Frank open the door. "Ah, Magenta. My little playmate decided to disobey me and has ran off. Where to you suppose to? Have you seen her?" There was a long pause. "No, master. I have not seen her." He must've noticed Columbia was missing. "Where's Columbia? I know she's usually with you when she isn't with me." There were sounds of footsteps and judging by the sounds they were making, it sounded like one pair was moving forward and the other pair was moving backwards towards the bathroom. My guess is that Frank was moving toward her, and she was backing away from him. Oh, God. He knew she was lying. "You don't suppose they're hiding together somewhere, do you?" I could tell Magenta was getting nervous. "I honestly don't know, master. Maybe they are downstairs." There was a pause again. I heard a loud smack, and Magenta cried out. "I know you're lying, Magenta. I know you're protecting her. You and Columbia both are protecting her but why? I'm sure Columbia will come around. She adores me." I could tell he was pissing off Magenta. "No she doesn't, not anymore. We were talking earlier, and she told me she's tired of seeing you use people. You used her, Eddie, Rocky, and now you want Daphne. Well, she's tired of it, I'm tired of it, and we're all tired of you! Know matter how good of a lover you are, people will get tired of you selfishly using them. They'll eventually come to realize you love no one but yourself!" I'm sure that would've earned Magenta another slap or something worse, but before Frank could retaliate, we heard Riff's voice on the monitor. "Master, Rocky has escaped from your room and is now back in the lab." That may have saved us from Frank for now. "Well, it seems your brother will have to be punished for his incompetence once again. But know that there is no place Daphne, Columbia, or anyone else can hide where I can't find them. I will find them and deal with them later. For now, I must deal with Riff Raff." And what that we heard the door open and Frank's heels walking down the hall. Columbia and I came out of the bathroom and saw Magenta crumpled on the floor. "Oh my God, Magenta! I'm so sorry this is all my fault!" Columbia was upset too. "Mags, what did he do to you, are you okay?" Magenta got on her feet. "It's alight, I'm fine. It's just a slap to the face, I've dealt with worse from him. There's no time to worry about me, we have to help Riff." The three of us went to the lab.
When we got to the lab, we saw Frank, Rocky and Riff. Frank was holding a whip in his right hand, and beating Riff with it. Riff was crying out in pain, and Rocky looked terrified. "I told you to make sure those chains were tight enough to keep him restrained! How did he get loose?" "I don't know, master. I can't remember." "Well then, maybe you need another beating to jog your memory!" Just as Frank raised the whip to deliver another blow, I ran in. "Well, look who's come out of hiding. Feeling brave, are we? Riffy, look. You've got a little friend to come and rescue you. Isn't that adorable." Riff put his head down in shame as Frank mocked him. "Leave him alone!" Frank turned to me. "Did you say something, Daphne?" He said that angrily and narrowed his eyes at me, which caused me to shrink back a bit. "No! I mean I um, yes. LEAVE HIM ALONE. You treat him and Magenta and everyone else like crap, and I'm tired of it!" "You tell him, Daphne", Columbia said. Frank glad at her, and she stepped back a bit. He grabbed me and pulled me toward him. "That's cute. You think you can actually stop me." I pushed him back and he landed on the floor. He looked furious at me. But I wasn't gonna let him keep pushing me around. He got up of the ground. "I'm in a rather generous mood at the moment, so consider yourself lucky. I've wasted so much time that I haven't managed to get anything done. So consider this a warning because next time you won't be so lucky. I always get what I want Daphne, and you'd do well to remember that." Frank stormed off, dragging Rocky with him. Rocky looked scared, I felt bad for him. Riff was still on the floor, bleeding from his wounds. "Are you okay, Riff?" He flinched away from me as I leaned over to help him up. "It's okay, I'm friends with Magenta and Columbia you can trust me." He looked over at Magenta for reassurance, and she nodded. "Thank you for helping me. I'm usually cold to most people but if Magenta trusts, you I suppose I can, too." We helped Riff up, and cleaned his wounds. Once that was done, we all went up to Magenta and Columbia's room and slept. I wasn't about to take any chances by going back to my room in case Frank was prowling about. Something tells me bad things would've happened to me if I was alone. Being with everyone gave me a sense of security and allowed me to fall asleep. As I was drifting off, I couldn't help but think that Frank was not going to forget about what happened tonight. I knew that it would be best for all of us to stay on our toes.
