Awaken the Luna

Chapter 6: Be my guest ?

Alexis had left my room almost two hours ago. I decided to shower off to feel better. I was clearly cleaned up when I woke from the woods, it made me shudder thinking about a stranger washing me and seeing me exposed. Especially now that I seem to be a prisoner here until I can find out why they are holding me. I did nothing wrong, Washington didn’t have any weird laws that I had broken that I knew of.

I made my way to the bathroom door and switched on the light. It was my first time in the luxurious space. The grey tiled floors were swirled with hues or cream and taupe. The dark wood cabinets were topped with white marble counters. The details were modern and sleek making the bathroom look more expensive than my first apartment. The shower was like a huge walk in closet. There was no door but when you walked in the lights gently came on and lit up the beautiful stone work. It reminded me of the mountains, like I was showering out in nature beneath a waterfall.

I set the temperature to hot so that I could cool it down if I needed. I carefully removed my bandage revealing my head wound for the first time. It really wasn’t that bad, three stitches and my hair parted to where it would be covered. I bunched up my hair into a messy bun, probably shouldn’t wash my hair until I can ask a doctor about how to care for it.

I was dressed in a dark navy jersey tee material nightgown that rested right above my knees. I carefully pulled it up over my head and folded it so that I could put it back on after my shower since I had no other clothes. That was another issue I would be bringing up the next time someone comes to check on me.

Steam tumbled through the showers open doorway and I was ready to relax and get my head on right. The shower was equipped with shampoos, conditioner, soaps, scrubs, wash towels, everything a girl could need to relax and pamper herself. I grabbed the one that seemed to smell the best and washed away the dirty thought of someone’s hands on me while I was unconscious.

After what seemed like an hour I turned off the water and grabbed a huge fluffy white towel to wrap up in. The steam had made my stray hairs turn into waves. My skin was pink from where I left the hot water run down my body. I stared at my reflection for a while, taking in my image like looking at an old friend. Despite my circumstances I had a glow about me, my honey toned complexion was spotless which doesn’t happen often. The stress of college usually kept my face broke out on the regular. The green hues in my eyes were more prominent as well, wow the lighting in here is amazing!

I heard a door closing from outside the bathroom. I wrapped my towel around me and stuck my head out of the bathroom door and found no one. They must have been leaving. I opened the door all the way and saw a pair of clothes laid out on the bed. A pair of black joggers and a dark Kelly green sweatshirt. Along with undergarments, slippers, and a note.

Dinner is at 6:00pm. You can come to dinner or it can be brought to your room. - C.

I held the note up to my nose and inhaled the same scent from the night before. That same amazing smell that I wish I could bottle up and keep forever. I wonder who this mystery nurse or doctor is. My mind drifted to my burying my face into his chest and taking in his scent. Snap out of it Wren!

Fine, they want me to play along ? I’ll do that and more, by this time tomorrow I will be out of this awful place.

Next to the clothes I found a bag of makeup, hair brushes, hair tools, everything I could use to get ready. I smirk to myself. I guess I’m expected to not look like a train wreck. I grab the bag and the clothes and head back to the bathroom to put on the best two face I can for dinner with “C”.
