Jewel's POV
While I was blacked out, I saw my mom and dad laughing and acting like how they used to be. Maybe everything I have seen and that has happened was just a dream like I thought and hope it was. I reach out for them, trying to grasp them. The closer I get, the further away they go. In an instant, the memory of my parents turns into the memory of my parents being killed. Blood clouded my eyes. I cry out to them, screaming their name, thinking they could hear me. Thinking they would grab me and take me with them, but then I wake up.
I am in a room that looks like a living person who hasn’t been in for a while. It is cold and damp. Like I am in a cellar or a dungeon of some sort. Then, I noticed I was chained up onto the wall. I also had a gag in my mouth. If I hadn’t known I had done something I would have thought this is some type of kinky thing. Like someone was trying to seduce me by hanging me up here. But of course, it wasn’t. I had f****d with the most powerful man in the realm.
Me being me, I still struggle to get out of the chains and I even try to scream for help. I pull and grasp for something that I hoped was there. The chain's edges were rough and scraped against my wrists. They must have been made of pure silver since my wrists were starting to burn. My arms were starting to even go numb from it. All I could feel was the trickle of blood that dripped down my arm and onto the floor. I could even smell it. After a few more pulls I decide to give up and just hang there.
After what felt like an eternity I finally hear a man's voice that I have heard from somewhere say “It won’t work, just give up.”
It was him. The devil. I freak out. My heart was beating horribly fast. I try to pull against the chains, trying to break free and get away from him. My arms were paralyzed so all I could do was hang there and hope nothing was going to happen. He walks up to me and just stares into my eyes. His eyes were cold and dark like the last time I saw them. But even though I hated what they looked like I was drawn to them. Like some type of force was pulling me to him. He takes off my gag. I take in a giant breath of air. I have never been so grateful for air, even if it isn’t the safest to breathe. His eyes are still fixed on me. They search my face and body. Like they were looking at me for some reason on why I attacked him. s**t! I totally forgot that my outfit is really revealing. I'm thinking he gets the most pleasure looking at my chest. p*****t. Even if I hold a straight face, I am still terrified. My body is trembling. Well, the parts I can feel of course. I can't tell if it was from fear, the cold, or from the silver that felt like it was slowly paralyzing my body.
“Please let me go and I will leave the town and even this realm if you let me go! I will leave and never come back to this village ever! I will never tell what happened here or that I was held captive!”
Oh s**t! Why in the hell did I just say that! All I know is that I am petrified. Was this guy going to kill me? What is going to happen to me? Am I going to die by him or is he going to send in another person? All of the questions just kept coming to my head, making my body even more freaked out. I didn’t want to know, not while I was breathing my final breaths. The more I thought about it, the heavier my breathing became.
The devil stares into my eyes. I breathe in and out, trying to keep calm. He motions the guard to come near him and at that very moment, I knew that I was going to die. I flashback to my childhood. When I was happy. Life was perfect. Until that man took my parents from me. A tap on my shoulder brings me back into reality.
“Just kill me quickly! Please make it painless!”
The tension in my breath turned into nothing. It was like I was ready to die. Like my body was just going to give up.
The devil laughs and says “ Oh my. You think I would kill you! I am not going to. Though the thought of that makes me wonder what's going on in the brain of yours.” I felt a wave of happiness wash over my whole body. I sigh in relief but then hear him say “ But you will pay back the blood you took from me”
I wonder what he meant. I thought how am I supposed to do that! But what really came out was “I will do anything!”
Stupid me! Why would you say that to the devil! He could do anything to me and I can't say anything because I owe him and no one would believe me.
He whispers into my ear, “ok you are now my personal servant. You will obey my order until I think you have paid back my blood. At the same time, you can be my mistress when I need it.”
He looks at my eyes and then walks off, telling the guard something. I didn’t care what he wanted me to do as long as I didn’t have to die.
All of my fear was gone now only anger was left. Who does she think he is! I am not a servant! Or even a mistress! I haven’t even had my first kiss! I would have said that if I had the balls to.
I hear the guard tell something and two lady’s rush in and inject me with something. I could feel a venom like substance spreading through my whole body. It was hot like lava. But then I felt nothing. My body went numb. It felt like the ladies had put silver into my body just minus the excruciating pain and the on death brink. The lady's bow to the guard and ran off. I could sense their fear. I could hear their quick breaths.
Now I was all alone with no strength. Nothing to be able to fight against this guard. For all, I could know he could break me. And all I could do was lay there and take it. He slowly walked up to me and unchained me. Never making any eye contact. I fall to the ground and blackout again. All I know is that my poor head is paying most for this.
