I broke the one main rule I was given, I tried to run away, and I failed horribly. I should of told Capris no, but this is what I have wanted for so long…freedom.
I looked around, the cold ground pressed flush against my sore body. I tried to move but my hands were bound and so were my ankles. My dress was in shreds around me and I tried to move my head so I could look at my back. There were long cuts and gashes along my back that reached up to my neck. Dried brown blood stuck to them and my Gray skin was stained in some spots. My face stung and I probably had a big dark bruise on my cheek. I winced in pain as I turned my head to look around. I was in an unknown room, there were no windows, and it was about as cold as Xanthe's room was.
I heard the latch on the door click and the door behind me open, I felt my body jump as a shiver ran up my spine, sending jolts of pain all over me. The door slammed shut and I heard footsteps coming near me. I felt myself being pulled up by one of my horns, and soon I was brought up to rest on my knees. I looked into the maddened and displeased eyes of my master. His almost permanent grin gone, His teeth now looked sharper and so did his eyes. He growled under his breath as he continued staring into my fearful eyes. I was petrified, and my body yet shaked involuntarily. He gripped onto my shoulders, digging his nails in, but I didn't break eye contact. "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO RUN AWAY FROM HERE, you knew you'd never escape SO WHY DID YOU EVEN BOTHER TRYING! It was the most idiotic stunt you've ever pulled…AND YOU'RE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE GRAVE MY DEAR!" He shouted, my eyes widened and I began to shake violently in his grasp. Tears gushed from my eyes at the shock of hearing the tone in his voice. I felt my stomach drop, "I'm so….so sorry…."
"SORRY ISNT GOING TO CUT IT THIS TIME!"
"I…."
"I want you to beg to be forgiven, grovel at my feet like the lowblood you are!"
"C-can't you just kill me already?" I sigh as he growls louder, digging his nails deeper into my flesh.
"DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, since you want death I cannot grant you this ignorant wish, I will not give you the pleasure of death, death is a way of ESCAPE. I WILL NOT LET YOU ESCAPE FROM ME. You have tried way too many times to avoid my rules I've laid down for you. EVEN TRIED TO TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE, but you could never really kill yourself, you are too WEAK!"
"I…I know."
"NOW BEG TO BE FORGIVEN"
"I…" I closed my eyes.
"YOU?"
"I will not sir, I do not want your forgiveness…"
He growls even louder, and I can feel his eyes burning into me, "ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVOKE ME TO KILL YOU LOWBLOOD, do not test my patience, I won't hesitate to scar that repulsively pretty face of yours…"
"I do not require you to forgive me, I screwed up, I understand that, but I will not beg for something I don't want or need!" I could feel some confidence bubbling inside me all of the sudden.
"You have some guts kid, talking back to your master like that…I think you will need some time to think and rehabilitate yourself, I think a week will be okay. MAYBE I CAN TEACH YOU SOME GOOD LESSONS ON OBEDIENCE."
"W-what?"
"STARTING TODAY YOU WILL STAY IN THIS EMPTY DARK ROOM UNTIL YOU EITHER ASK FOR FORGIVENESS OR ROT, have fun~"
"I guess I will rot then sir…"
He scowls, "Do as you like, I will check up on you, BUT MY VISITS WILL NOT AT ALL BE MIRACULOUS FOR YOU." He left after he removed the binds from my wrists and ankles. Turning the lights out making the unknown windowless room pitch black, It was cold in here, and I wrapped the remaining fabric of my dress around me, scooting to one of the corners of the room, resting my head on my knees as I began to weep.
