Raquel slowly followed behind Deuce as he led her back to her dungeon. When they got to the front door he began to unlock it but she placed her hand on his shoulder making Deuce snap his head to her and place the key down to his side.

"Please don't make me go back tonight ma-master. Their's no light and i'm scared", She sobbed to him knowing the sun had vanished into the sky for the night.

"You have that girl in there", Deuce said watching her shake in terror of the darkness that covered her room.

Raquel quickly shook her head. "I'm still scared, pl-please I beg of you Sir", She whimpered into her hands.

Deuce bit the inside of his cheek and debated in his mind. He was raised to treat the slaves just as that slaves. They were suppose to be nothing to him but how can he leave her in her worst nightmare. Even though he could just let an servant bring down a candle, he went against that thought and he watched her tremble and he felt something in his heart, something that made him nod to her request.

"Alright, you can stay in my room for this 1 night do you understand me? Tomorrow one of the servants will bring a light into your dungeon before night fall", He said placing the keys back on the hook in front of the door.

"Thank you, thank you", Raquel repeated to him.

Deuce nodded his head towards her and grabbed her hand pulling her with him back up the steps. When they reached his room once again for the day. He walked towards his bed and sat on the edge.

"Come here"

Raquel dragged her feet over to him and stood in front of him. Deuce stood up, making her look up at him. He slipped a silver key from his front pocket and bent down unlocking the chains on her ankles then came back up and unlocked her wrist.

"You tell no one I let you loose alright?",He said in a husky tone. She nodded and watched him put the key back into his pocket.

Deuce went behind Raquel and started to untie the hoops on her dress making Raquel start to shake and start to beg.

"N-no anything but this please", She urged with fresh hot tears trickling down her cheeks.

Deuce ignored her and her dress hit the floor leaving her in her undergarments. Raquel turned around and tried to pick up her dress but Deuce stopped her by grabbing her wrists tightly and putting them against his chest.

"I'm not going to hurt you Raquel. I want you to go bathe before you lay in my bed. A servant will bring another dress", Deuce insured her. "Do you hear me?", He asked wanting a response.

"Ye-yes master", She said in a tender voice.

Raquel sat in the king size tub that was filled with steaming water. She dipped her cloth into the water and squeezed the water out above her head. This was her first bath sense she been taken, two weeks of built dirt, matted hair, and smelling something that crawled out of the sewer. She grabbed the soap and ran across her neck, down to her breast, her flat belly, and her thighs, then her private area, and down to her dirty feet.

She stepped out of the bath and wrapped the blue towel around her body. She grabbed a piece of her brown hair and placed it against her nose inhaling the clean strawberry scent. Her master let her have her time in the bath but of course she had to clean it not that it bothered her. She been cleaning the bath sense she got here, she was just excited that she got the chance to bathe.

Raquel walked out the bathroom holding her dress up sense she couldn't hook the back. Her dress was long and light blue like her other dress but her sleeves were laced this time. It was a pretty dress, she wondered why her master was treating her so nicely but she was grateful.

"Excuse me master. May you tie my dress? I can't do so myself", She said.

Deuce gave her a signal to come here so she walked over and stood in front of him with her back turned towards him. She felt him hooking the ties into the hoops making the dress tighten around her.

"You look nice Raquel. Before you clean, I was given this the day you were taken… Thought you would like it back", Deuce said before going under his white pillow and bringing out an brown wooden brush. Raquel did her best to hide in her screams.

It was the brush, her grandmother given her before she passed away when Raquel was a little girl. Tears built in her eyes and she bowed.

"God, thank you Sir. I'm ever so grateful", She said before slipping the brush out his hand.

He looked at her and did a small smile. "Now go clean while I change into my night clothes". Raquel did a nod and rushed into the bathroom.

After the tub was cleaned spotless. Raquel stood in front his full length mirror that hung on the wall in his bathroom. She grabbed the brush off the floor were she placed it before she started to clean the tub. She started to brush the tangles out of her damp hair. When she was finally done her hair was brushed straight down. She examined the brush and let a single tear roll down her cheek as she placed against her heart.

Tyler laid in his bed, wide awake at midnight. He listened to his clock tick and he rolled on to his side trying to get the young orange hair girl out of his mind but she wasn't leaving. He sat up and pushed off his covers. He stood and sneaked out of his room quietly. He never checked on her after she left to go to the infirmary so he thought he would.

Cecilia jumped when she heard the dungeon chamber open. She couldn't even see in the darkness so she kept her back turned. "Cecilia?", She heard Tyler's voice say. She covered her mouth fighting back tears, she would hope he would think she was asleep and then leave but then she saw him shine a candle light into the room and then over to her way.

"Didn't wanna answer me Cecilia?", Tyler said as he gripped her hair making her cry out.

"I'-i'm sor-sorry", She finally stuttered out.

He let go of the handful of her orange hair that he held and she felt him sit on the dusty broken down bed with her.

"Turn towards me"

. Cecilia turned around steadily trying not to anger her whip marks that still hurt.

Tyler lifted her dress so he could see her legs and placed the light over them. He examined her legs and saw they were wrapped up.

"Are your arms wrapped up as well?", Tyler said but answered his own question when he shined the candle over her wrapped arms.

"Did you learn never to disrespect me again?", He asked.

"Yes. Never again", Cecilia said.

"Good girl. Would you like some food?", Tyler asked remembering she didn't eat.

"No thank you master. I would just like to sleep", She answered taking him by surprise but he nodded at her request.

"Then goodnight", he said as he stood off the bed but was stopped by a soft grab on his hand.

"Ma-May you leave the candle in here sir? Please it's fairly dark in here", Cecilia complained before she quickly let go of his hand.

Tyler thought and thought and nodded before setting the candle on the broken down nightstand next to the bed. The one light deemed the whole room and Cecilia saw Tyler staring her down and she quickly looked down at her silver chain.

"Goodnight, tomorrow will be a good day I hope?", He said as he opened the metal door.

"Yes master, I promise".

Tyler response to her was by closing the door. He made his way up the spiral staircase. When he reached his room and stepped inside closing the door behind him. He banged his head against it.

"Damnit what is she doing to me? No peasant should feel love is what our parents have taught us sense we were little boys but Cecilia… is so exquisite. From her orange long hair to those beautiful brown eyes, to her perfect pink lips. What is wrong with me? God help me", Tyler's thoughts were as he laid in his bed.
