Chapter 7
Opening my eyes I looked around to see six beds empty, my hands were untied so were my legs. A tear slipped down my cheeks as I got up, I groaned in pain as my back hurt. I ran to the washroom and pulled the white shirt, I turned around and pulled it above my head. I looked at my reflection to see the top part of my back red. Expect for that there was his name, I cried as I kept looking at it. He craved his name on my back, at the end of his name there was a mark.
It was deep read, I couldn't understand what was written but I dropped the shirt down and walked out to see Madame Merci standing next to my bed.
"Finally you have woken up, now get to work." She said as she pulled me out of the room.
"But my back is hurting," I said through my dry lips, I haven't eaten for days.
"No one cares, go do your work. First start of with cleaning the book shelf in the east wing, the living room, then clean the entire kitchen, the basements, the ball room and the windows. I don't want to see a dirt spot, till then you won't get any meals until you finish all you work. Now go, start working I want everything finished by 10:00 a second late you won't get anything to eat." She exclaimed as she walked in a room, I looked around to see the library. I just cleaned one yesterday, how many are there. This one looked more worst that the other one.
"Now, start cleaning I will send someone to check on you after few hours. And remember I want everything done by 10." She said, I nodded.
"Don't just nod,"
"Yes, Madame." I choked out from my dry lumpy throat.
"Good, now start your work." She said as she patted my back before leaving me alone in the library. I walked towards the table and started cleaning everything, I placed the papers on the corner and wiped all the dust away from the table. I cried as my back started to hurt, I could still feel him stabbing me. I got on the ladder and started placing the book on there places. At least I was wearing a comfortable dress not a tight maid outfit. I looked down to see myself in a large white shirt and black pants.
Two hours passed by and I kept cleaning the library, all my muscles drained out. My legs felt stiff, my head was throbbing and my back was burning. I sobbed as I placed the book on the shelf, I can't do anymore.
I laid next to the bookshelf and cried slowly, the pain in my head was increasing every second. I wanted to go home I wanted to be with my parents. I wanted to complete my studies and become a electrical engineer. I wanted to marry someone who loved me and then die with him. All I could do now was clean this house, listen to his orders and let him violate me.
All my dream's have crashed nothing is left in my life, he won't ever let me go back to my parents. I won't be able to see TV or play with dad, I won't be able to study or sing with my friends. I was locked in a cage forever.
"Get up, slut." I wiped my tears and got up, I looked up to see a girl few years older then me.
"Yes mam," I said as I looked down.
"Wow, are you trying to act in front of me. Whatever Merci told me to look at you if you were working well I guess she was wrong. I will go ahead and tell master about this and he will punish you" She whispered, I gasped as looked up.
"Please, no I will work don't tell him." I cried as I got on my knees.
"Whatever, get up and start cleaning the living room." She said as she walked away, I got up and ran to the living room. The living room was quite big than the others, it was big enough. I could see all the girls walking from the other floors. I pulled a bucket and a cloth and started cleaning the floor. Sweat covered my forehead as tears prickled from my head. My back burned as I moved, sat down and cleaned the tiles. I looked up to see him, I immediately gasped in shock what will he do now?
He stood on the second floor with his hands crossed around his chest, he smiled and nodded at me before walking away. I sighed and continued my work, I didn't wanted to get punished again.
----
It was 11 and I was done will everything, I couldn't walk or get up. I didn't wanted to eat anymore, I went back to my room and laid on the bed. I was tried, I wanted to scream so loud that I could die.
"Hey are you okay," I looked up to see the girl who I met first with, I immediately got up from my bed and nodded. Everyone was sleeping around the room.
"You are bleeding," she touched my back.
"Ah, its fine." I cried out from her touch.
"Its not, come to the washroom I will fix it. I was a doctor before I came here." She whispered a she pulled me up, I walked into the bathroom with. I looked at my shirt which was completely red.
"Oh, my God. Remove your shirt." I sat on the ground as she picked a first aid box from the corner. I undid the buttons of my shirt and pulled it out. I heard a gasp from her, she touched the mark.
"Its happening again." She whispered, I creased my eyebrows as my mind confused.
"How did it happen, he doesn't gives this type of punishment to anyone not even when he is angry he just kills them but no this. What made him so angry?" She questioned me, tears went down my neck as I thought about him.
"I ran away and then he caught me, he did dirty things to me and he bit me. Then I woke up to be chained on the bed, after that he did this." I cried out, she immediately pulled me in a hug.
"Shhh, don't cry." She whispered to me.
"I want to go home, I don't want to be here." I said as I pulled away.
"You can't, its impossible to run away from him especially when he marked his victim." She whispered.
"V-victim," is he going to kill me.
"No, nothing hold tight I will stitch these wounds up." She said as she touched the mark.
She begin stitching the area up, I screamed as the cold needle passed through the deepest wound.
"Its all happening again," she whispered as she continued, I didn't mind asking for because my back was hurting.
"Done, now." She whispered, she handed me the shirt and I wore it.
"Excuse me," I turned around to see a woman standing on the door, I immediately got up from the ground.
"Yes," Monica said.
"Master said me to deliver a message, he wants Evelyn in his room." She said before walking out, I dropped on the floor. What will he do to me.
"Please I don't want to go," I whispered.
"Nothing will happen, believe me." She said as she picked me.
"Please, no." I cried.
"It the first night and he doesn't harms any of his victims on the first one. Go I promise you will be fine." She whispered.
