Freedom at last?

The feeling of surprise and shock I felt that moment transformed into anger and pain. It just did not make any sense.
Eamon? How had I been so unfortunate to re incarnate in his life once again?
“I know you have a lot of questions to ask me.” He started, his hands crossed behind him and pride emitting from him. “Have your bath quickly and join me for dinner so we can talk about it.”
“What am I doing here?!” I yelled at him and trudged towards him, stopping him from leaving. “What do you want from me? Why did you bring me here?!” I yelled at the top of my voice.
He smirked as he looked down at me, literally. He looked straight into my eyes like he was looking into my soul and I was forced to break the eye contact we had.
“You have been laying on that bed for three days and trust me, you stink.” He responded before walking out. I was a little startled that I did not know what to say or do. He smirked and walked out of the room, leaving me with the maids.
“Who brought me here? How did I get here?” I questioned the maids.
“I am sorry, my lady but…. We cannot utter a word without the permission of our Lord.” One of the maids responded and the others nodded. I sniffed in my breath to see if I was smelling and true to his words, I was.
“I can bath myself.” I responded and tried to get everything from them but they refused.
“Our Lord has asked us to bath you and we cannot do otherwise.” They responded. I was beginning to get quite upset and irritated by their actions.
“I can do it myself!” I insisted. “Hand it over now!” I yelled at them but they immediately went on their knees and lowered their head.
“We are sorry, my lady for making you go through all this. We are sorry for making you yell but we have to do our Lord’s bidding.” They pleaded. I rolled my eyes and left with no choice, I agreed for them to bath me.
How was all this happening? Did I re incarnate? How was I at his place again? How about my parents?
I was quiet as the maids washed me thoroughly and eventually, they completed the washing. I was well dressed and led to see Eamon with a gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
He was on the table, having a conversation with another man. The moment he sighted me, he dismissed the man immediately.
“Did I re incarnate?” That was the only question I could bring myself to ask first. The questions were beyond numbered yet I could not seem to push out anyone first.
He looked up at me and let out a loud laughter.
“Oh, come on… you do not believe those folklores, do you?” He shook his head.
“How then did I get here? Where are my parents? How did I leave? How did I live? How did I survive the ocean? What happened while I was unconscious? Where is the other man?”
“So many questions…. Where do I start from? Remain quiet and let us have dinner.” He responded, like it was nothing.
“Oh, come on. You cannot abduct me from my parents and bring me here and think I would act like nothing happened!” I yelled at the top of my voice.
“Abducted?” He raised his brows and let out a chuckle. “I am Eamon. I do not abduct anyone. I take what belongs to me and just so you know, you are dead to your 'parents'. “
I froze on the spot. It felt like I had not heard what he just said. Dead to my parents?
“What do you mean?”
“Why are you so bothered? You didn’t want to live you, did you? And now that you have breath in your lungs when you should have been long gone, then you have to live for me.” He responded.
Live for him?
“We should have dinner.” He responded. I shook my head and let out a sardonic laughter. How was I supposed to eat under such circumstance? That was impossible.
“You can have your meal all by yourself. I am not hungry.” I stood up immediately and began to proceed towards the door that would lead me away from the dining.
“You cannot leave. You cannot walk away from here. Come back and have your meal.” He responded with authority.
“I am not having anything with you, a murderer.” I answered and continued to leave.
“Don’t you dare take a step further.” He threatened. The anger and command in his voice did not go unnoticed.
I smirked and shook my head. “ Stop me if you can.” I responded and continued to walk away. I was however shocked when he pulled me by my arm and slammed my back behind the door.
I was shocked as I was forced to look straight into his eyes. It felt like different worlds were colliding in his eyes. His eyes looked like an ocean and it felt like I could drown in them.
“You are such a gullible young lady. Beautiful eyes yet you lack the ability to see. A well carved nose yet…..” He let out a sigh and let go of me immediately. He turned his back towards me.
“you can have dinner if you want to and if not, have a wonderful evening.” He responded, his back turned to me as he walked away.
I saw that as an opportunity to escape and although I still wallowed in thoughts about what he just said, I hurriedly grabbed the knife and proceeded towards him with so much anger and rage.
I had to end everything for good and return to my family.
