Chapter 5 Am I His Toy?

I am running down a long corridor from something I am running as fast I can but it's so slow with every step I take it gets harder to move my feet feel heavier and my chest hurts there's a bright light at the end of the corridor. But I hear someone call my name it sounds familiar I stop and turn back to the darkness I want to run but my feet will not let me. Olive is standing right in front of me in the darkness grinning at me "Don't run" he says, smoothly then he grabs me biting down on my neck.

I wake with a jolt where am I? Oh yes I am in Henrys room, that nightmare was horrible I never usually get them but when I get them I have them bad. I sit up putting my head in my hands trying to gather my thoughts there's a knock at the door then Henry walks in holding a plate of food grinning at me.

"How was your sleep?" he asks, walking to the bed side eating a slice of an apple I realise that this bed the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.

"Good thank you" I lie thinking about the nightmare then I realise I am in a night gown.

"A maid let you have it" he says, sitting down on the bed answering my thoughts.

"You Didn't undress me did you?" I asked, shocked felling myself blushing.

He laughs shacking is head "No! I had Mary one of the maids undress you ".

"Oh ... Well may you thank her ... I mean the maid that gave me it" I say, smiling up at him.

Then I remember through some vague memory that Henry York is a vampire, I fell my face fall is he going to hurt me? Why is he being so nice to me? I remember him coming out of nowhere at the market, he was waiting for me outside the brothel and last night at the pub, did he send Olive to the brothel to kill the prostitutes? I feel my eyes start to water I look down at my knotted fingers am I his toy?

"I not going to hurt you now" He says, tilting his head.

"How do I know that?" I whisper.

I look up at him and his whole body has gone stiff and is eye look angry and through is teeth he says "Because I said so"

I look back down at my hands what have I done wrong? And what does he mean "he's not going to hurt me now?" he's never going to hurt me? Or not till later?

"You need to eat" he snaps, pushing the place of food at me.

I take a pace of bread I am really not hungry but I start to eat "Thank you" I whisper.

"One of my maids are waiting for you in the next room her names Mary she has a bath ready for you" He says, getting off the bed walking to the door.

"I want you ready in an hour understand I need to talk to you about something" he snaps, looking at me from the door.

I look at him lost "I mean it Adele if you're not ready in an hour I will drag you out whatever you're in" then he storms out the door.

I sit there dumbfounded he wants me to be ready in an hour for what? To kill me? No! He said he want to talk to me... What about? Oh I do not know. I roll my eyes then climb out of the bed do I just walk in like this? I walk to the door open it a little to see if there's anyone walking down the corridor when I see there's no one there I walk as fast as I can to the next room, I open the door and there's a woman putting flower petals in the bath tub she smiles up at me.

"Good morrow Miss Dudley"

"Please call me Adele" I smile back at her blushing closing the door.

"Yes Adele are you ready" she says, holding a hand out to me.

"Um" I stare at her hand rich people get maids to wash them; oh no I do not want her seeing me naked!

"Don't worry I have five daughters I've seen them all naked I've seen it all" she's very motherly she reminds me of my mother a bit, she talks like her.

I give her a little smile then take her hand and step in to the water it nice and warm we rarely bath in the brothel it was a luxury. "Arms up" she says, I pull my arms up.

She pulls the night gown up and off and I sink in to the water hiding my naked body the water smells of roses it's beautiful I curl my arm around my legs looking at the water.

"Have you been working for Henry for long" I ask.

"Yes Since I was nineteen" she says, pouring water over my head It makes me pull away.

"Sorry ... I ... hit my head yesterday" I get a sudden image of Olive grinning at me I push that as far out of my mind as I can.

"Oh I am sorry I did not know I'll be gentle" she says, pouring water on my head gently.

"Thank you... So you live in London" I ask, as she washes my hair very gently.

"Yes"

"How old are you Adele?"

"Seventeen"

Look back at her and give her a small smile and her eyes start to water "You're scared aren't you?"

I turn away from her I bite my shacking bottom lip trying not start crying I've lost everything everyone I care about, I've seen all their dead body's covered in blood, Olive I keep thinking of him grinning at me and know I have Henry York wanting to talk to about something that might end up with him killing me. I pull my legs closer to me resting my forehead on my knees and start to cry, sobbing so hard my whole body shacks.

About thirty minutes later I stop crying I've finished in the bath and have dried myself off I find that Henry has gave me a blue dress much better than my brown dress. I dress into it with Marys help then sit as she brushes my hair no one has brushed my since my mother died.

When I am done and look presentable Mary walks me down to a room before she opens the door for me she says "He will not hurt you" Then she opens the door before I can say anything I walk in to the room it's a drawing room, and Henry is sitting in a chair with his feet up reading papers eating an apple.
