"Nothing"

Bloody Scars

⚠️BLOOD AND CUTTING⚠️ (NOT SH)

I grabbed my wrist, where a red mark was left from the chains. I looked up at him, he was playing with the knife, which sent a shiver down my spine. He suddenly stopped and glanced at me, waiting. I looked away and raised my hand to him. "I-I accept."

Dust smirked and grabbed Zeffer's arm tightly. She yelped, which made the sadists smirk widen. "Ready for the first cut Cupcake~?" She nodded. The blade of the knife was against her arm and she bit her lip lightly. "I didn't even cut yet and you're already tearing up~" Zeffer opened her mouth to tell him she wasn't crying. But as soon as she did, the blade struck her arm, and a shallow but painful cut was left. Blood spilling onto the floor from her arm. She managed to bite her lip before she screamed in pain. The second and third cuts went by quickly, and Zeffer was sweating from the overwhelming pain, and fear of knowing what was going on. She managed to keep herself from crying however a small mark started forming on her lip from biting. "Didn't think you would handle this so well Cupcake~" Dust cooed, striking her arm once more. Zeffer almost started to cry from that, it hurt so much. "t-that was f-four, r-right.?" She asked, her voice shaky and weak. "Thats right Cupcake~ One more cut and then we will be done~" Zeffer smiled, though she was in pain she wanted to leave the cell. But she didn't realize she started crying unintentionally. "Looks like your crying~ That means you stay in here tonight~" Dust chuckled. Zeffer froze and stared up at the king. "W-what.? N-No. No, no, no, no, no!" She started sobbing before the king. "P-Please just c-cut it a-again! I p-promise I w-won't scream! P-Please I d-don't want t-to be down h-here!" The king only looked down upon her. Zeffer may have lived on the streets, but she had never slept in the dark. She had always had the moon, stars, and streetlights while she slept. "Are you scared of the dark?" Dust asked her. "N-no." She lied. "So you wouldn't mind if I turned off these lights-" "DON'T!" She cried out. Dust sighed. "I know they didn't feed you anything. I will take you to get food but then you are going back to the cell." Dust stated. Zeffer was overwhelmed with fear and pain, some would say she acted without thinking. She walked over to the king and hugged him. It was somewhat true, she wasn't thinking clearly. Dust only stared at the girl. "What are you doing?" The king asked, which shocked Zeffer, "Hugging y-you." She told him. "No. I've been hugged before. It never felt like this." The king argued. "Well does it feel good?" She asked the king, while looking up at him. A faint blush grew on his face. "a bit." Seeing the king blush made Zeffer giggle. "I-I can d-do it m-more if you d-don't keep me i-in the c-cell." Zeffer said, a little hopeful the king will allow it. "Fine. You will sleep in my room with me. So I know where you are. But in the morning you will go back to the cell. Deal?" He asked. Zeffer hugged tighter as a "Yes", which made the king blush more. "F-food now?" Zeffer asked. Dust nodded, "Yes. Now let go before I decide to carry you like you are my wife~" Zeffer was flustered and about to let go, but then got an idea. She hugged him even tighter, getting closer to him. "Then carry me~" she told him. "You little brat~" He whispered, before picking her up bridal style. "Not a brat, now to the food!" Dust chuckled and teleported to the dining room where he placed his "slave" in a fancy wooden chair. "What would you like to eat Cupcake?" He asked her. "Could I have some bread, please?" Dust looks at her a bit concerned. "You have to have more than just bread." "No I don't." Zeffer said. Instead of giving his new slave what she requested, Dust placed a small slice of cake in front of her. "What is this?" She asked him. "Its called Cake, have you never had cake before?" He said. "I've seen parents giving "cake" to their children on their birthdays. Why are you giving me some?" "Just eat it." Dust commanded. Zeffer looked at the plate in front of her and pushes it away. "I don't deserve "cake"" She stated. "Eat the damn cake or your sleeping in the cell!" Zeffer flinched. "F-fine." She grabbed a fork and stabbed the slice with it a few times. "Do I need to feed you?" Dust said, a bit annoyed. "N-No sir." Zeffer ate a bite of the cake and her eyes lit up with delight. She quickly ate the rest of the slice and looked at Dust. "Can I have more?" She asked with her mouth full. Dust chuckled and wiped some chocolate frosting off her mouth, "Not tonight Cupcake~ Its time to go to bed~ But I will give you something else to try tomorrow~" Zeffer was content with this and got up. "Carry me!" She said cheerfully. "Hm~ Why should I~?" Dust teased. "If you don't carry me I will run away!" She responded jokingly. "No. You will not." He grabbed her wrist tightly, which made Zeffer flinch. "C-Careful! I-it still h-hurts!" Dust dragged Zeffer to his room despite her pleads for him to let go or to be more no gentle. By the time they got to the room, Zeffer was sobbing. "Calm down brat. Its not the end of the world just because I touched a few cuts on your arm." Dust let go and looked at his hand, which hand a few splats of blood on it. "I-I s-said it h-hurt." Zeffer said under her breath. Dust threw her to the bed. "Lay down, brat." Zeffer lied down on the bed, "where w-will you s-sleep?" Dust stared at her blankly, "on the bed." Zeffer broke into a blush. "If you wake up in the middle of the night, wake me up. If you wake up after 7Am and I am not awake, do not leave the bed. Understand?" Zeffer nodded. Dust got into the bed next to Zeffer and they stared at each other, until Zeffer turned around. "Goodnight." She told him. Dust felt a little insulted that she turned away from him, so he pulled her close by her waist. Zeffer tried to squirm her way out but with every struggle, his grip on her would tighten. Eventually she gave up and let the king do what he wanted. When the king felt her relax in his arms, he loosened his grip a little bit. Zeffer turned around so she was facing the king and nuzzled her face into his chest. "What?" He said confused. "If you can't beat it, join it." She said with a giggle. The king pet the back of her skull gently, "Goodnight Cupcake~" he cooed to her. "Goodnight my king~" she said in the same teasing tone. They both snuggled each other for the rest of the night until they both fell asleep in each others arms.
