No Hope

XVIII - Hush, Don't call me Cecile

"I beg your pardon?" I asked, showing everyone around me that I am angry, Edward rubbed his chin with his thumb as he looked away. and Elias just glared at me.

"and she is a strong one, I can pay you a lot for her, Elias," this Lola b***h said.

"I AM NOT FOR SALE" I screamed, and she took four steps in my direction, she is taller than I thought.

"Close your mouth pheasant, let the adults talk" she whispered in my face and I was on the edge of yanking her hair.

"Lola stop, she is not for sale" Elias screamed, Lola winked at me then turned around to face Elias.

"You came here to make a deal I believe, well let me tell you my deal, captain," Lola said, as she motioned around Elias and Edward in circles.

"If your deal doesn't amaze me, I will be buying the girl," Lola said and I crossed my arms as I glared at Elias, waiting to hear his answer.

"Deal," Elias said and I gasped out loud. Elias just Smirked.

"Boys, take this pheasant out of my room" Lola screamed, and the door burst open behind me, I turned around to find two walking trees coming in my direction.

"WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?" I screamed at them as I took a couple of steps backward.

"Relax, they will just have a little bit of fun with you, they have been working hard lately, it won't be much of a big deal if they got a taste of that petite body of yours," Lola said behind me. I didn't hesitate to turn around and smack the s**t out of her. 

"I am not a commodity" I whispered in her face. she wiped the corner of her mouth while smirking at me.

"change the deal Captain, if she goes down there, and walks back here in an hour without a single scratch on her, she is all yours, "Lola said, and I gave her a look that said 'I am not scared, but the truth is that I am on the edge of pissing myself.

"Lola don't you dare disrespect me" Elias screamed, then he grabbed Lola by her elbow and turned her around to face him, and I saw a glance of fear in her eyes.

"I am not disrespecting you, captain. I am just trying to prove a point here" Lola said and then she took a deep breath. 

"yes, you are disrespecting me, Lola. when I say this girl is not for sale, it means she is not for sale, and she won't be participating in your pathetic deals" Elias screamed in Lola's face. she closed her eyes.

"do I have a vote in this?" I said and the three of them screamed 'NO'. is this how they treat the bloody princess?.

"Now apologize to her Lola" Elias screamed once again, and I was slightly taken back by his words.

"I beg your pardon?" Lola said and Elias glared at her. something is going on between these two.

"I don't want her apology" I spat. everyone including Edward glared at me.

"I hate repeating myself twice, Lola," Elias said and she smirked at him.

"you know what?" I screamed and they all glared at me once again.

"A DEAL IS A DEAL" I screamed as I turned around and I pushed my way through her 'boys'. but Elias said something that made me stop dead in my tracks.

"if you step out of that door Clay, I will be selling you to Lola for the lowest price. because that's your worth" Elias said, I held back the tear as I made my way out of this room, walking slowly down the stairs.

I started pushing people out of my way until I safely made my way to a table, I slowly sat down as I started eyeing everyone around me carefully.

"what does a pretty lady like you doing alone in a place like this?" a voice said from behind me and I didn't bother turning around.

"Nothing, just waiting for a good reason to stab my dagger into someone's heart," I said and the person behind me chuckled.

"does it sound like I am joking?" I harshly said, and that person walked slowly to the chair that is on the other side of the table. I took a glance at him, and something about him was off.

"Who are you?" I quickly asked, I wanted to stand up but it won't help, it will only make the situation suspicious. so I kept a calm face on.

"I am just a passenger," he said. and the smell of lying went flying through my nostrils.

"I am going to politely ask you to stand up and walk away," I said and he smirked.

"let me buy you a drink," he said, and before I had the chance to reject his offer, he raised his hand, and within two seconds, many drinks were placed on the table.

"But I don't know who you are," I said, and he smirked. 

"one drink won't do any harm," he said and he was right. a couple of drinks won't kill me I guess.

"Give me one reason to trust you," I said and he kept the smirk on his face.

"There is no reason for you to trust me, I am just here for a break from the outside world," he said and I grabbed the glass of gen that is placed in front of me.

"Just don't kill me," I said as I drank the entire glass in one sip, as the burning liqueur made its way down my throat, a voice in the back of my head was telling me to stand up and walk back to the room. but I ignored everything as my hand all by itself started grabbing glass after glass. the guy in front of me kept talking to me but I ignored him, I managed to shut down all the voices that are around me, I can only hear my heart beating fast, everything around me was spinning but I didn't bother, I needed a break from reality. 

***

"it seems like you are going through a lot of stuff right now," he said. I opened my eyes, and I just kept staring at him.

"more glasses," I said and he again raised his hand. when I looked at the table I was shocked at the fact that I drank more than five glasses.

"I still don't know your name," I said and he chuckled. 

"you will know my name soon enough," he said as five more glasses were placed on the table. I started drinking all my pain away. 

"how long has it been since you sat down?" I asked, my tongue getting heavier and heavier.

"forty minutes maybe?" he said and I slowly smirked.

"that's why I don't like getting drunk because I drink a few glasses and suddenly I wake up one decade later," I said as he kept staring at me.

"and now I am receiving the silent treatment from a stranger," I said and that's when it felt like his face changed, his eyes went darker and a creepy smile formed upon his face.

"well Cecile, are you this stupid? getting drunk with a person that you don't even know the name of?" he said and I laughed.

"hush, don't call me Cecile, the captain doesn't know my real name. lower your voice he might hear you" I whispered.

"don't worry about it, he is on the other side of the building, my dear," he said and I relaxed for a few seconds.

"and now you are drunk, you are going to deliver a message to your captain," he said and I frowned.

"what if I refuse?" I said and he rubbed his jaw with his thumb.

"what was in that drink anyway?" I said and he ignored me.

"you are lying, it hasn't been forty minutes since you sat down" I pouted and his eyes kept getting darker and darker each second.

"I know that Elias is up in that room, and if you look around carefully, you will see that six of my men are surrounding this place," he said as my eyes started to get blurry but I forced myself to keep them open.

"What did you put in my drinks? why didn't you drink anything? you didn't even grab one glass, I drank all of the glasses" I said, then I stood up with tears running down my cheeks, but I was quick to fall because my body felt heavier than it ever was.

"don't worry Cecile," he said as he stood up and walked in my direction until he was standing in front of me.

"see this?" he said as he pointed with his finger inside his jacket, and something shiny flashed before my eyes.

"you h-have a gun? I want one" I said. he wrapped his hand around my waist and helped me to stand up.

"see this gun, Cecile? I will shoot you with it if you don't shut up" he said as he walked me outside this hell hole. as soon as we stepped outside, the cold breeze attacked my face slowly, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"are you going to kill me?" I whispered. he scoffed as he started dragging me somewhere. and I just happily followed.

"how do you know my real name?" I asked him and I can tell that he is getting angry.

"do you know that I am the princess?" 

"Are you one of Richard's men? if yes please tell him that I will never return to his bloody castle"

"don't kill the captain because his soul will haunt you, he is an angry spirit"

"you should bow down to me"

"bow down to your future queeeeeeeeen"

"What did you put in my drinks?"

"tell me, I want to use it on the captain"

"Please don't hurt me, I still have many things to do before I die"

"did someone ever tell you that you talk too much?" the guy said and I frowned.

"No" I answered, clearly annoyed by his question.

"But you didn't answer any of my questio-"

"SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP" he screamed and I flinched. he tightened his grip around my elbow and pulled me closer to him.

"y-you......don't have to y-yell a-at my like this," I said between sobs.

"Why are you crying for the love of God, he said as he rubbed his forehead. I looked away and that's when I realized that four or five men were approaching us.

"stranger, I think these men want to hurt us, I said. I turned around to face him and with a blink of an eye he pushed me down on the ground. I cried out in pain as I felt like my lungs are collapsing.

"what do you want from me?" I screamed, everything around me started spinning fastly, now I can finally rest my eyes for a few seconds.

"no no look at me " the stranger screamed as he grabbed me by my neck and pulled my face closer to his.

"I just want to rest my eyes," I said and he laughed out loud, and the men around us started laughing with him.

"Why am I not laughing? did I miss the joke?" I whispered. then his grip got tighter around my neck.

"your dear Elias doesn't know that you are the princess I believe?" the stranger said, and I managed to nod my head since I can't say a single word.

"give me the dagger" he screamed to one of his men, and one of them came rushing with a dagger in his hand, and he handed it to the stranger.

"I am surprised that you don't know who am I, Cecile," he said and I focused on his face for a few moments until I realized who that person is.

"A-adam" I managed to say and he smirked. and without any warning, he raised the piece of cloth that is covering my stomach and he pressed the cold metal against my skin, as I felt the fresh liquid escape. I couldn't do anything except close my eyes in pain and adjust the pain.

"Richard sent me, but sadly not for you. he sent me here to give captain Elias a message, a message that will be curved on your skin," he said as he removed his hand off my neck and pushed me down. then two men came behind me and pinned me down on the ground, I ignored everything and focused on breathing normally.

"This might hurt a little, Cece," he said as his dagger started moving around my stomach as if he is writing something. I started screaming out loud.

"just a little more," he said and I started screaming louder as he went deeper. then the cold metal was thrown on the ground, and I was breathing heavily.

"don't worry about it Cece, the pain won't last forever," Adam said. then he grabbed my cheeks and smashed my lips with his, I wanted to push him off me but I was too weak. then he pushed me down and stood up.

"shall we meet again, Cece," he said. I heard his footsteps get further and further along with the other men's footsteps until I can no longer hear them. I couldn't stand up or move, I just cried and cried. the fresh tears made their way down, and that's when I let out a long loud scream of agony and despair. I let out all my pain in that scream, as my eyes were focused on the sky, I felt the drops of rain attacking my face one after one. it felt like the sky tears are resembling my sadness.

He got what he wanted, now he is going to sell me to that woman, he made his decision. he doesn't even care about me, I was stupid enough to tell myself a lie and believe it, I am the one who wanted to convince myself that he cares, but he never did. He only wants me to help him kill the king, that's what he always wanted.

"get up Cecile" I whispered to myself, I tried to raise my body but I fell back on the ground followed by a scream of pain.

"GET THE f**k UP" I screamed again to myself, and I gathered my strength and I stood up. screaming out loud. and when I was finally on my feet, I covered my stomach and walked back to the brothel house.

when I finally walked in, my head started spinning once again, I don't remember how I managed to walk up the stairs, but I am not complaining. Lola's men were standing in front of the door and didn't give any reaction when they saw me, as if they already know what was going to happen to me.

"o-open the door," I said, they looked at each other then they looked back at me.

"The madam and the captain are busy," they said and my hand curled into a fist.

"I said.....OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR" I screamed. they both smirked then they opened the door and I walked in, then the sound of a female moaning attacked my ears. for the love of God. my eyes landed on Lola and Elias, he was on top of her, half-naked. and Lola was fully naked. I coughed and they both looked at me. they both smirked and Elias stood up and walked in my direction.

"Pheasant, I see that you returned, with blood covering you," Lola said, but I ignored her and focused on Elias who was now standing in front of me. what shocked me is that he was smirking. 

"you win" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. and that dirty smirk never left his face.

"I warned you not to leave that door, but you did," Elias said, then he pushed me on the wall and I yelped in pain.

"seeing you in pain just makes my insides explode," Elias said, and for a moment I thought that he feels bad, but that's when I realized that he is being s****l from the smirk on his face.

"you make me sick," I said, then his finger traced around my stomach, but luckily he didn't bother raising the cloth, because I still don't know what Adam wrote. he kept moving his finger until his finger was painted red with my blood.

"don't" I whispered, but he ignored me. his eyes were locked with mine as he put his finger inside his mouth and licked it clean. and that's when I felt like throwing up.

"your blood tastes delicious" Elias whispered in my face, I couldn't say a word, I just kept looking at him with my eyes wide open. 

"kill yourself," I told him, and he just chuckled.

"I am not going to sell you to Lola, Clay. but you are going to watch me f**k the hell out of her" Elias said. I kept looking at him, waiting for him to tell me that he is joking, but he never did. 

"I would rather go back to the ship, Captain," I said as Elias brushed his thumb against my cheek.

"but I would rather if you stayed here and watch me make love to Lola, don't worry Clay, you will enjoy this because I bet that you will start imagining yourself as the b***h who is under me, not Lola," Elias said and I wanted to answer back, but Lola was right, the cat bit my tongue.

"I will just go and search for Edward," I said, and I was about to turn around but Elias was quick to push me back on the wall.

"you are not leaving this room Clay, not until I finish," Elias said and all I wanted to do is slap him, but I was too weak.

"come on sugar, I can't wait any longer," Lola said from behind Elias. then he grabbed me by my hair and pushed me down on the couch that is in front of the other couch where Lola is laying down. 

"watch carefully pheasant, watch me as I am under him, watch me as I get a taste of his warm liquids, I know that you wish to be me now, but that could never happen, my dear," Lola told me, then her eyes focused on Elias who was now on top of her again, as he smashed his lips with her. her eyes were closed but Elias's eyes were locked with mine.

"stop" I mouthed to Elias, but he ignored me. then I saw him pulling his cactus out of his pants, I was quick to cover my eyes.

"don't close your eyes, you are missing the hot stuff," Lola said, then the sound of their skins colliding together and Lola's loud moan made a tear roll down my left cheek.

"BLOODY HELL IT'S SO BIG" Lola screamed, the sound of her annoying moans and their skins hitting each other never left my ears. I kept my eyes closed until finally, the darkness came to visit me.
