Nina
Kill me now. Joy glared at me.
"What is it now? Just take it all from me." Joy said.
"Because getting married to the worst person in the world is my goal." I said.
"You ungreatful little prick." She said. I raised my eyebrows raised and I looked at her closer. She slapped me. I blinked.
I ran. I ran through the castle and found large doors. I grabbed a torch from a wall and opened the door. I walked down the steps. It got darker and darker. It was hard to breathe.
I got to the end of the staircase and turned. Skulls. Real skulls.
"Sick Romans." I said as I went through the tunnel. Bones and skulls. "Ra please help them." I prayed to my god.
These Romans are weird and sick in the head. They believe in these weird gods not like mine.
I started choking. I saw wine, rocks and more skulls. I grabbed wine that was in a jar and sat on the ground. I started to drink and I sat there. The ground was rocks that moved easily. I wrote in it.
"Help me." was the message. I sat the torch on the ground. Many more were on the walls. Strange writing was on the walls. I started choking andcoughing. I heard footsteps and panicked. I ran farther through the tunnels and kept coming to crossroads. I found a small room, the walls bones. I gulped and went in. The footsteps sped up. I tried to hide. The bones collapsed on me. I screeched loudly.
A hand picked me up and I looked. Patricia. She twisted my wrist.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"Catacombs. Come back down here again and I'll leave you to rot. Bury you myself." She said. I released her and ran back. I held a sharp rock to her.
"I could stab you." I said.
"You'll die if I leave you. Get lost then you lose air from because of the fire." She reasoned.
"I'd rather just take my chances." I said. She grabbed the rock then my wrist. She looked me in the eye.
"What's on your face?" She said.
"I don't know." I said.
"Did someone hit you?"
"No." She didn't believe me but didn't care enough. She dragged me through the palace. I could breathe again. She took me straight into a room. This was the sentencing room. Fabian sat on a throne.
"She's a run away." Patricia said.
"Why does she look beat up?" Fabian asked.
"Well she was in the catacombs and messed up some of the people's resting place." She said.
"You messed with the bodies?" He asked.
"It's sick." I said.
"The catacombs are a very religious place." Patricia said.
"Whatever it's nasty." I said.
"She can't be a maid. Just get someone to clean her up." She said.
"I'll do it." Fabian said grabbing me. I yelled as he dragged me up the palace stairs. He took me to the bathing rooms. He reached for my dress and I hit him. He said nothing and kept attempting to undress me. He got me nude and put me in the water.
"Either bathe or I do it for you." He said. I took the soap and bathed myself. He gave me a new dress then carried me to the sleeping chambers balconey. He sat me in a chair.
"Listen Nina, I'm tired of fighting. Please just work with me." He said.
"You stole me." I hissed.
"I had no decision! We had to take you!" He said. I turned away from him. Joy came up with two glasses.
"Take a sip from them Joy." Fabian commanded. She huffed and poured them out. Fabian smirked. "I knew she would poison them." He said. I cracked a smile but didn't let him see.
"I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." He said. I still kept my stubborn stance. "It's true." He said.
"You already have." I said.
"No more pain." He said. I still stayed turned. Maybe he isn't so bad.
