I don't know how much time has passed, there is no way to tell time here; or at least not that I know of. My mind races with his words, Can I trust him? Should I trust him? No, how can you trust anything that demon says, after what he did to you? Yes, think of all the times I trusted Trevor, Julia, look at what Frank did; Pinhead has never done anything other than save me countless times from humans, other cenobites, and his greedy master. A noise snaps me out of my internal battle; I hear the sound of leather moving, a figure steps out of the shadows and walks to the bed, they are holding a tray of what looks like food, and a cup; they turn to me and I see that it is the female cenobite, from Pinhead's group.
She smiles a cruel smile at me and in hear raspy, almost mechanical sounding voice she says, "Well, well, Kirsty. Looks like you couldn't run anymore, I wonder if Xipe Totec will let me play with you?" she laughs and I take a step back, "no need, we are under orders; no one is to touch you." She says slowly, disgust filling her voice, with one last glare she turns sharply and saunters back into the shadows; leaving me to my meal. I approach the food and drink cautiously; pasta with chicken and some cheese sauce are on a steaming plate next to a goblet filled with water. Maybe I really can trust him. That cenobite couldn't hurt me because of his command, and she has to bring me this. I think I'll try…
I take a deep breath and taste the food, my eyes widen, this is the best thing I think I've ever eaten! Without hesitation I dig into the food and drink my water. In no time it seemed the food and water were gone, but I was fine, it was like it was just enough to fill me up. I sat back on the bed wondering what to do; eventually I got up and looked into the chest again, sorting through the various outfits. I picked up a pair of long black pants made of soft material and robin's egg blue shirt made of light material; taking them I walked into the bathroom and closed the door, locking it. I set the clothes on the floor next to the tub, and turn the faucets on to the right temperature, grabbing the needed products, like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a towel and a small wash cloth. Shedding my clothes I step down the cool steps into the tub, sinking into the warm water.
The way the tub was designed, when I stepped in off the step and sat down I was eye level with the floor, I filled it up enough for the water to cover me completely, shutting off the water I soaked listening to the silence of the spacious room. It was very elegant, like one you see in a fancy five star hotel, with the dark stone and marble floor and walls, along with the matching sing and toilet. I washed my hair first and then the rest of me, taking my time and enjoying the water, after a little while I began to prune, I lifted myself out of the water, pulling the drain open and climbed back up the steps; grabbing my towel I dry my hair and body and wrap it around me tightly, picking up my dirty clothes and the wash cloth, I throw them in a basket like hamper. I change into my new, clean clothes and set about drying and brushing my hair. The damp curls still stick together, but are less unruly than before; after I finish I step out of the bathroom and make my way to the bed sitting down once again with nothing to do.
I hear the sound of metal on metal, I turn and see Pinhead cleaning and sharpening his weapons, "did you find everything to your liking?" he asked in a bored tone, he wouldn't look at me but I could tell he was still angry about what had happened earlier. I take a deep breath and steady myself, "yes, thank you. And I've been thinking…" with my words he stilled and turned to me, approaching the bed slowly and stopping in front of me. His face expectant and his eyes met mine and shown with interest; "tell me" he said quietly waiting for my response. "I am going to try to trust you, I can't say I'll be able to love you or anything, but I'm willing to see how this plays out, and I'm not too sure how it will turn out" I say quickly, looking down.
Pinhead raised my chin gently with his cold hand, my eyes meet his and he holds my gaze for a moment; after a few seconds he lets go of me and nods slightly seeing I am telling the truth. A smile spreads across his face and his eyes seem to shine, I never thought I would see him like this, maybe this is the human part of him coming out, I think to myself and give a small smile back. This is defiantly going to be interesting, to say the least, his face returns to its blank composure, but there is still a hint of the change I had made in him there, and he was kind. "You look very nice, those clothes suite you, and I am glad everything is to your approval, I shall what I can do for entertainment for you, maybe some books? " My smile instantly widened, I couldn't help it I love books and he was going out of his way to provide me with them.
