Sinful Desires

The First Night

I sit on my bed looking at the door. Charity kept whimpering it made it difficult to sleep. So all I could do was wait for Charity to finally pass out. She didn't though I covered my ears with my pillow hoping it would shut her out. It only did so much. However I was able to fall asleep for a little bit.

When I opened my eyes instead of it on my face my pillow is on the floor next to my bed. I looked around the room and Charity was half off of her bed it looked like she had finally cried herself to sleep. I don't hold it against her though. I'm afraid to, however unlike everyone else I knew that crying about it wouldn't do me any good at all. I would still be locked in this room feeling even sorrier for myself.

I really missed my family. We were close however we all kept secrets from each other at some point. Me I kept the secret of having to steal some things in order to help feed everyone however I think they may have figured it out by now.

I took another look around the room and notice that there was a bathroom near the door. I got up and checked it out. There was no window just a shower, a small sink, toilet and a closet. She opened the closet there was a shelf with hanging racks on either side of it. There shelves had different types of body washes, shampoos and conditioners on the top shelf. On the second shelf there was two hair brushes, two tooth brushes, deodorant's, toothpaste's, make-up kits, finger and toenail clippers and a few hair accessories in two separate baskets. One had my name on it and the other had Charity's name. Mine was on the right. The third shelf had towels on one side and washcloths on the other.

I took a good look at the shampoos and body washes. After smelling each one I put the ones I liked best into my basket. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do that but there was plenty of room in the basket. I did the same with the deodorant.

Next to the shelf on the right the hanging rack had my name on it. Garment bags were hanging from it. Each one was labeled, Day wear, evening wear and night wear. I look at each of the garments. The day wear was a simple yet elegant dress. The Evening wear was more elegant than anything else. My dress was black velvet. The night wear is just pajamas. I re-zip up the bags and use the bathroom really quick and go back to the room.

The door is wide open. I look around the room and Charity is still sleeping.

"Why is this open?"

I take a quick look down the hall no one is there. But I can hear whispering nearby. I look at the door across from mine it looks closed but when I take a closer look at it its open part way.

"Shush" someone whispered.

Someone's up to no good.

"I can't see" said a voice quietly.

"Shut up or she'll hear us" I know that voice, it's Faith. "We'll only get one chance at this. Once she steps out we'll pull her from the room close her door and she'll get caught when they come to check on us."

I shake my head. Faiths up to no good, not much of a surprise there but she seems to have gotten some of the other girls behind her as well. That didn't surprise me either. Faith is nothing but a big bully and has the ability to get other lesser bully's behind her. We're fighting for survival and they are trying to take out everyone that's in their way. Looks like I'm at the top of that list. Once again, I'm not surprised. Faith never liked me much and she believed her brothers lies when she was taken which means she'll probably kill me if that's what it takes to get me out of the way.

I quickly re-lock the door and close it.

Too bad for her I'm not dumb enough to fall for her trap. She's going to have to try a lot harder if she wants me to put my own life in danger just so she can settle an imaginary score she has with me. She'll get caught and will only have herself to blame when Kane punishes her for breaking his rules. I don't even want to imagine what he would do if he caught someone out of there room. I'm sure it won't be pleasant and it will very likely be in front of everyone. He would want to make an example of the person and scare us all at the same time.

I spot a clock on a small table in between the beds. Its eleven a.m. I was awake most of the night and yet I woke up earlier than I thought I would have. Instead of going back to bed I head back to the bathroom take a shower brush my teeth and hair. I grab my day wear dress and put it on. It was nice and soft must be pure cotton. As I'm pulling my hair up I hear Charity scream.

I rush out of the bathroom to find a woman pulling Charity out of bed.

"This one's dressed already take her down" said the woman pulling Charity out of bed "None of these girls are ready to go. They think they can sleep the day away, not happening."

The other woman grabbed my arm and pulled me from the room.

"Where are your shoes?" she asked noticing my bare feet.

"In my room" I replied "you just grabbed me and pulled me out I didn't even have time to think about shoes."

"Don't get mouthy with me girly" said the woman glaring at me and pulling me back to my room.

I quickly put on the shoes I had the night before but the woman practically ripped them back off of my feet. She went into the bathroom and brought me shoes that matched my dress then pulled me from the room once more. The other girls were screaming. It didn't sound like anyone was waiting for them to consent to get undressed.

We passed several guards as the woman pulled me from the hall that led to the bedrooms. My arm was starting to hurt now she didn't have to drag me all she had to do was tell me to follow her and I would follow. The woman's fingernails were digging into my arm. If she squeezed any harder with her nails it was likely I would start bleeding.

"Ow, let go" I pulled my arm out of her grasp more easily than I thought I would be able to. I rub the spots where her nails dug into my skin. The woman tried to grab my arm again. I pulled away. "Just lead the way. I'll follow there no need to drag me around."

The woman took a step towards me and I stepped back.

"Is there a problem here?" asked a very tired looking man.

It was the same one who welcomed us the night before, just before the prince spoke. Despite looking so tiered he was still very handsome. He had brown eyes and dark brown hair. He was only a few inches tall than I was.

He looked at my arm and said "You were told not to hurt them."

"She resisted My Lord."

"I doubt that with this one. Why isn't she in her room? Where are the other girls?"

"Most were still sleeping. This one was the only one who was ready when we came to get them."

"Then she should still be in her room. You were told to bring them all together."

"The head housekeeper told to go ahead and bring her down."

The man glared at the woman.

"There would be no point in taking her back to her room now. Take her to the study Prince Kane would like to see this one when he wakes up."

"You want to leave her in there alone for hours."

"Are you questioning our prince?"

The man's eyes turned dark and he showed his fangs.

"No, no My Lord absolutely not. I would never do that."

"Good, now do as you're told."

"Yes my lord. Follow me."

The Prince wanted to see me. What on earth for?
