A knock sounded at Isabella waking her from her deep sleep. Groaning and stretching out.
“Come in.” The un-lady like sound coming out.
A small frame with red hair walked in carry a tray of food. Her eyes down to the ground as she stood at the open door not continuing past two feet into the room.
Softly she spoke.
“Where would you like your food My lady.” The small woman spoke. Isabella looked around for a possible place to put the food finally concluding.
“Next to me on the bed is fine, Thank you.” The woman shuffled over placing the tray gently on the bed.
Then stood up eyes still on the floor.
“The King would like to see you around lunch. He says wear something nice.” Nodding my head at her words as she slowly walked to the door to exit. Softly closing it behind her.
Stuffing the food in my mouth famished from a long night.
Finally after getting my fill. I picked up the piece of toast and butter and walked to the bathroom. Slowly slipping out of my clothes on my way to the shower. Opening the glass door I looked at the site beyond me.
There she laid. Chained to the metal on the side of the shower. Sock shoved in her mouth. A small giggle escaped my mouth.
Lexi looked up eyes red from tears. A bloody gash stood proud on her cheek.
Taking a small bite of the toast and chewing as I turned on the shower to warm it. Water splashed at her with no mercy as she sat there trying to get away from the shocking cold water.
“You hungry?” Isabella asked.
Her eyes looked towards Isabella.
“Don’t make me ask again.” A strangled growl entangled through her words.
Lexi nodded.
“Scream and I will kill you and know one will care. You came here to kill me remember that.” Isabella said as she stepped into the steaming shower. Slowly moving closer to Lexi removing the sock from her mouth.
A small gasp escaping Lexi as she sucked in.
Isabella brought the toast to Lexi’s mouth slowly feeding her piece by piece then turning towards the running water to begin washing.
“Why are you being nice to me?” Lexi asked as Isabella continued to wash. Laughing at that question she turned to her.
“You think this is nice?”
“You could have killed me. Yet you leave me chained to breathe and feed me.”
“This Lexi isn’t nice. This is torture. I am giving you the same f*****g treatment you gave me. I have seen your naked body f**k my mate. You have beat me humiliated me starved me. As much as I want to do what you have done to me. I think it’s only fair to keep you alive so you can feel what I have felt.”
“So you’re not going to kill me?” Lexi asked with a small smile playing at her lips. Isabella finished washing the soap from her body as she bent down towards Lexi.
Slowly tracing her hand against her cheek.
“No baby. What I am going to do is far worse than death.” Isabella grabbed the wet sock from the floor of the shower and went to put it in Lexi’s mouth right as Lexi spoke her last sentence.
“What could be worse then death??” Lexi asked right as the wet soapy sock was shoved into her mouth.
Isabella placed a small kiss to her forehead and began to walk to grab a towel.
“Watching the one you love be happy with someone else. That is your punishment.”
Isabella turned off the shower closed the door and grabbed her towel pulling it around her as she walked out the bathroom and closed that door as well.
Finding a short white flower dress sitting on her bed. A pair of black flip flops hanging next to it she slipped it on admiring the way it hugged her torso but not her lower half in the body mirror.
Walking to the door she peeked out seeing the small frame female standing and waiting there.
“Will you be the one leading me to the king?” She nodded not speaking and started to walk causing Isabella to follow in suit.
“Do you not speak?” Isabella asked as the walk began to drag.
“I do, your majesty.”
“May I know your name?”
“It is Staya your majesty.”
“Enough with your majesty please. Address me as Isabella when we are alone.” Blair nodded at this statement Isabella has no idea how things are ran in this kingdom and judging by Staya’s behavior she would say not too well.
Finally they had reached a large dining space that had a large table in the center at least 20 chairs sat seated against the table.
At the very end sat Alec looking proud as he stared on at her. Standing up he gestured to her taking a seat at the complete opposite end. Instead she strolled to the seat nearest to him and sat. He slowly followed suit.
“A queen should sit at the head of the table.” He stated as one of the butlers placed food both in front of her and him.
“I will not yell across the table to speak with you.” She spoke as she grabbed a fork to dig into what she could only hope was chicken.
He nodded his head and ate quietly.
“How did you sleep?” He asked. She laughed a little causing him to smile.
“Like a baby. Is that why you brought me here? To discuss my sleeping?”
He chuckled at this.
“No, I wanted you to eat too.” He stated as he looked at her.
“Must you watch me eat?” She asked as she placed some more of the chicken into her mouth.
He looked down placing some in his mouth as well. Shaking his head in the process.
“I do apologize, I must admit you astonish me.”
Placing her fork down she turned to him.
“How do I? Your highness?” She asked causing him to wave his hand in front of him.
“Please address me as Alec ,no need for formalities. We are beyond passed that.”
“Okay Alec, How do astonish you?”
He stopped eating and turned to her.
“Well for beginners your mood switches so quick. One minute you could be Satan himself and the next fighting him.”
“I am female.”
“Has some to do with quick mood changes but not all. Trauma and strength has a lot to do with it. But the thing that amazes me the most is that.” His stare hardening on her as his voice dropped. “Someone can break into the future queens room in the middle of the night. My queen has no marks on her. The perpetrator is no where to be found but I can smell the blood all through my castle.”
“Well you obviously didn’t look as hard as you try to act.” She laughed at her own statement turning back to her food and placing more chicken in her mouth.
“Well were are they? Are they dead?”
She shook her head. Chewing her chicken.
“Care to share?” Alec obviously getting more irritated by the second.
“In my shower. Chained. Alive. Thriving.” She said shrugging her shoulders as if no care in the world.
“I will take care of them.” He said standing up. Causing Isabella to stand up. To stop him from moving any further.
“You will do no such thing.” She growled at him.
“And why is that Isabella?” Putting his stance at a more protective one.
“It’s my time to give back to those who deserve it.” She growled out.
Alec walked up to her slowly touching her face.
“Bella you are a beauty but you are a beast.” He gently said looking into her eyes.
“The beast kept me alive and I am happy to feed it.” She stated as she turned to walk out the door.
“No, Bella they just cursed you.”
