One Minute

Chapter Fourteen- The Whore Mistress

I walked over to you and watched you with dark eyes.  Out of all the time we spent together, I thought that you had really cared for me. You lied to me, and I believed you.

Raymond resting his hand on my shoulder and I flinched before going back to the couch, curling up against the cushion. “Aw don’t be sad,” Raymond sat at the edge of the couch, rubbing my back, “I still love you.”

“Go to hell.” I grunted.

Raymond growled lowly before relaxing. Looking up at the ceiling, I noticed that there were security cameras everywhere, so if I wanted to escape, there was absolutely no possible chance of me getting out.

“Let’s go outside and eat with everyone else.” He finally said.

“What about Roivas?” I asked, fidgeting with my shirt.

“We’ll take him too.” He rolled his eyes, murmuring softly under his breath, “I don’t see why you’re wasting your time on him.” He shook his head and sauntered off to “my bedroom” to get you. Coming back minutes later, your arm was wrapped around his neck as he supported you. You looked weak—sickly pale, but you were sick.

You coughed, lifting your head weakly to look at me. Your eyes were red and glistening—glassy. They were filled with sadness, yet… I could sense anger in them. You were mad at yourself, weren’t you?

You sniffled and started walking over to the door, opening it slowly. You didn’t look at me as you walked past me—you acted like I was never there to begin with. You had acted like I was some sort of ghost—a hallucination from your sickness.

You sneezed, and walked outside with Raymond. I tried my best not to tremble and I put on the fattest and most fake smile I could give to try and prove to everyone here that I was strong. I couldn’t show weakness in front of a bunch of strangers that wanted to see me die.

“Gather around everyone!” Nikolay called out loudly.

I felt lost with the dark, black bag over my head. Raymond shoved this on before I was able to even see the dining area. So now I was lost and scared. I did my best not to shake as I followed you two, hands tied behind my back.

Stumbling on a step, I felt a hand hold my arm lightly. There was a soft coo in my ear as if to calm me down, and it managed to make my trembles stop.

 “Now we’ve all gathered you hear to inform you of incredible news! After sixteen years of waiting for this day to come, Lady Nisha will address the great news herself”

The hand left my arm and I was being shoved down to my knees until I was bowing at Lady Nisha’s feet. I heard her chuckle softly before the air shifted. I could hear her, voice loud and clear—dominant.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for coming around the world for this special day! Now! It seems that we have a guest here. Shall we unveil this stranger?”

I was jerked back up and I coughed, chills running down my spine. I felt a hand wrap around mine, long nails digging into my wrist. I winced, feeling some of the scabs stretch as I tensed. My head flung back as the bag was yanked off and I squinted, adjusting to my surroundings; everyone gasped, then roared with excitement.

The dining are here was HUGE. The stable stretched for about 10 yards, covered elegantly in a white lace tablecloth. There was a seat for everybody, and all but two were filled in the front.

From my point of view, I could see Nikolay, Raymond, and Eric sitting at the front. You were sitting down beside Nikolay, staring blankly at the table. Gazing at everyone else at the table, I took in their outfits.
