"what is this thing doing here" Brian demanded.
his tone laced with disgust. I lowered my head
down.
" calm down I brought her her" the stranger
said.
Brian looked between me and the man and my
heart thumped.
I was certainly getting punished today.
Brian is my father's first child, first son.
and my elder brother. stepbrother.
he doesn't treat me like his sister, just like his
maid. no one cares about me.
no one.
am just a lost, parasite looking for where she
belongs.
I'm m used to being alone. my mom died two
days after she gave birth to me and some how,
in a way, I still remember her voice.
"didn't you hear what I said " Brian's voiced
boomed and I flinched at his voice." get out!" |
bowed despite the pain of my injuries, with
every movement I take, and walked out.
But, I could still feel the strangers eyes on me.
I walked through the halls going to my room, in,
the storage room.
"yes.. oh my god, his so hot" I heard one of the
maids voice say.
"I heard his single" another one said, I think her
name is Jessica.
"two hot bachelors livng in the corners of this castle, god I think my eggs are going to burst out if one of them doesn't fertilize them.
I winced, not because of my injuries, but at their cringing words.
"I heard his a prince from the vampire
kingdom" Jessica said.
who are they talking about. I walked to one of the pillars of the wall hiding myself.
" am so glad we have ally from the vampire
kingdom." one of them said I, I don't quite
remember her name she is a red haired..
" only one night would be enough for me, one night and I could melt his cold heart"
Jessica, muttered dreamily.
"don't say that kind of things, he won't even
want to be in the same presence with a maid"
one other maid said as they continued doing
the kitchen work.
" aren't you a curious "I gasped at the sound of the voice, that belongs o dimitri. one of our elite guards men.
"god, you scared me" I whispered.
I muttered as I held my chest.
"what did you think, I won't scare you with the way your ease dropping." he asked, his southern accent lacing.
" aren't you supposed to be resting?" he asked.
"sshhh, don't be loud, they would hear us" I
whispered.
he raised a brows," then let them." I wanted to scream and I quickly covered his mouth with
my hands.
and widened my eyes and shook them, in shock of what he wanted to do.
I winced, the pain that I had forgotten on by
back, arising again.
Dimitri, removed my hands from his
mouth"Dina, are you ok", he looked at my feet
blood...
"shit" he muttered in his breathe.
he carried me in his back, "dimitri, put me
down, your gonna get yourself in trouble". I
muttered weakly
he didn't listen to me, he carried me into the
storage room.
abandoned storage room...
no wonder I felt comfortable in the four corners of the room.
dark walls, that had dried up blood.
my blood...
this room, had so many memories.
the haystack, that was my bed, laid heavily on the side of the, room.
this room was the only thing I could call mine.
dimitri removed his, suit jacket after dropping me slowly on the ground.
he spread the jacket on the haystack.
"lay on your stomach Dina" he muttered softly
as he turned to face me.
I stared at him, I wondered how my reflection
looked like.
I didn't get a chance, to get a glimpse of my
self in the hallway and the weren't any mirrors to see my reflection in.
either way am sure my face looked bruised and swollen.
I guess because of how I hiss when I
talked to dimitri earlier.
I walked towards the haystack and bent little
which winced, because of the pain.
i picked up his jacket, and handed it to him.
he stared at the jacket then, back at me.
"what are you doing Dina, your meant to be
resting." he stated.
thanks for bringing me to my room, but I don't need this, am fine by myself" I said softly while,putting the jacket on his hands.
"you need to be taken care of, Dina" I walked
around him, and sat on the hay stack, which
was prickly against my skin.
I was used to it, I am used to the pain.
I was used to be not taken care off.
he wouldn't know that, he just started working in the castle just, what? four months ago.
he doesn't even know the do's and don't of this castle.
the first do.... is make Dina your slave, use her in anyway you want.
and don't....
don't make her your ally, your friend, unless you'll be punished.
I sighed "am capable of taking car of myself, I have been doing that for years"
" and besides you'll be punished if your seen here." I stated.
dimitri rubbed the back his head, he had a look buzz cut, which was easy for him to rub his hair , without thinking of his hair tangled.
Unlike my mundane, blue hair. which gets
tangled, every single time.
"your being stubborn Dina, ok fine then, who's going to clean your back?" he asked.
i find it cute when he's worrying about me,
without knowing the dangers of what his doing.
I smiled," this isn't my first rodeo, dimi, am fine I promise" I reassured him.
"but I can't leave you alone, your hurt"
"look If I need anything I would call you first, ok, now go before you get punished." I said.
"you promise?" he asked and I nodded.
" tell me if you need food, I will send it to you, just rest" he said and I nodded, smiling gently
he walked towards the door of the storage
room, and turned to face me, I smiled softly, which he returned before leaving and closingthe doors gently.
i stared at the door, for what felt like hours.
Tears streamed my face.
I couldn't even tell him how much pain I was in, because it would endanger him, and I would be punished.
Of course I needed help, I couldn't lay on myback, which was the only position I was comfortable in.
A sob escaped from my lips, as I removed my t shirt, which was stained with blood.
i wet a dry towel, with a bucket of water, which I used to wet, to bathe.
I used it to clean my back which was very, very hard for me to do,because of the pain.
I was used to every type of pain, I felt numb to it all.
but it doesn't stop my emotions from,
revealing how broken and lonely I felt.
