(Griffin's P.O.V)
The man quickly shook his head and looked at me his gaze meeting mine.
"I'm sorry little lady, but my king wants women and he enjoys a challenge."
He looks like he is almost pleading with his eye's but don't give a fury rats ass! He will not touch me or my sister. Ever!
"I don't give a s**t what your dam king wants! He can go to hell, you will never touch me or my sister! You got that Shiny."
OK yes I called him shiny, in my defence he is, and I still don't know his name. My gaze is unwavering and I am seething with anger.
"Oh and another thing," his gaze now turning hard as he looks at me. "I have a name fool."
Cocking his head to the side and letting out a laugh," Yes I remember it's griffin yes?"
Why this arrogant good for nothing ass hole!!! He really wants to piss me off.
"Yes you pompous jackass, and if you don't tell me exactly what yours is, clocking you on the jaw will be the least of your problems."
His gaze now turning dark. I can hear Gregory behind him babbling like a complete i***t, apologizing and saying he would give a discount. Like f**k he will!
Shiny just lifted his hand to silence him, which he quickly complied and shut up.
"Lee," he is now looking at me with a blank expression, "You can call me Lee"
Well at least shiny has a name now. He looks back at Gregory, who looks like a kid that just got shat on by his parents. "both," was all he said. Gregory was now shifting around stumbling on his words as he repeated "both!" With a wry grin. I don't think he could hold his excitement that he is getting rid of his 2 biggest problems, and making money.
Lee looks at him with a hard gaze and gruffly says "did I stutter."
With that Gregory gestured for him to go upstairs. Well at least I think its an upstairs as we have never left this room, I was so young and was pretty traumatized seeing my entire family being killed in front of me, I still have nightmares about it.
Before exiting completely lee turned to me with a cocky grin. "I will see you in a week." With that he started closing the door.
I swiftly ran and hit it with my shoulder, making the door slam fully shut making it shudder and almost breaking it.
"f*****g bring it shiny I will rip you apart," I shouted through the door.
Why a week anyhow? At least I can train even harder so when he comes back we can break out of here! I could hear Gregory apologizing and saying he has tried braking me for years, but he is sure lee will do a good job in fully breaking me, ha! that wasn’t even all my strength, I was always cautious to show my true strength.
Looking back at Alex, she was fully crying now on her knees next to where we were standing. I ran back to her and grabbed her in my arms cradling her in a hug, she was so small you would swear she is only 15!
"Hay, hay its OK," I try to calm her. "I would never let those dirty fuckers touch you!" She looked up at me with her sky blue eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"But sniff, but you heard him sniff, he is up there paying for us." She has now gone into full on crying that she can barely breath.
"Alex breath," I tell her in a hush tone hugging her even tighter.
After a few minutes as she creed into my shoulder she was finally only hiccuping, "lets get you back to bed."
She suddenly pulled her head up, "but you haven’t slept yet." The concern in her voice always made me smile. "I am absolutely fine Alex, you need it more than I do."
Shaking her head furiously at me. "No you must sleep too I will keep watch!" At this point there is no point arguing, she is extremely stubborn and I have learnt over the years, there is no winning arguments with her. Nodding my head I stood up bringing her up with me.
Sleep took me fairly quickly, Turns out I was quite tired, the guards had been coming in more and more so I had been running on maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep at a time. Waking up a few hours later to find Alex sitting on the edge of the bed trying to stuff her pillow with material and straw.
"Hello Alex," she must of been concentrating quite hard cause I made her physically jump. "keepers griffin, don't you know better than to startle a women when she is stuffing her pillow!" I just let out a hearty laugh, which earned me a scowl from her, Through my laughing fit I tried apologizing, but ended up laughing more and the look she was giving me did not help her case.
After wiping my tears away from all the laughing, I swan my legs over the edge of the bed to now be sitting next to Alex.
Looking at the door I sigh "do you think we gonna get food today?" Turning my head to meet Alex’s gaze, who just lifted her solders, "No idea, after you punching that man I’m pretty sure we won't," she smiled at me knowing I would be feeling awful at my actions that have cause her not to eat now.
I hang my head "I’m so sorry Alex, I hate that they punish you because of me."
She grabbed my hand and squeezed it, "your my sister and I would never eat if you weren’t." I gave a small smile in appreciation, but it was short lived, I smell someone is coming.
I stand to my feet, Alex watching my demeanour change completely, she knows what’s coming and she stands behind me. The keys giggle in the door, as the most mouth watering smell hits me. FOOD!! As the door opens 3 guards walk in with the most delectable looking food I have ever seen on platters. The 4th guard was carrying a table and another was carrying chairs. This seems all to suspicious why the hell would Gregory be doing this? 2 of the guards walked out while the others stood on either side of the door, OK what do they want. A few moments later the 2 guards came back with a bath tub followed by 3 other guards carrying what looked like hot water. We get to bath! Oh my holy heck!
Gregory suddenly appeared at the door with another strange man, almost dressed like lee but had a red cape on he was also not as big either he had his helmet tucked under his arm he was also quite young.
"Right everybody out," Gregory commanded. We watched as they all walked out, turning my gaze to meet the young man. He just bowed his head to me then turned his gaze to Gregory, "you may leave as well." with that Gregory scurried off like that rat he was.
Being broken from my thoughts as the younger shiny stepped forward, "Beta Lee has instructed me to look after you and your sister," nodding towards Alex. " You will have food and clean water every day till you are collected for the king." After stating this he looked myself and Alex up and down, "as well as clean clothes."
Looking down at my very torn and dirty clothes, He is not wrong. Before I could say anything a young women walked in and nodded to the younger shiny, who nodded back and looked back at me, "This is lily, she will be taking your measurements for clothes, she has brought some other clothes you can change into for the time being." With that he bowed his head and left closing the door behind him. I stood a bit shocked at all this and wondered why is this now known as beta lee doing all this?
