Theodore's POV

"What did you want to talk about?" I questioned the doctor sternly the minute his door closed. "Amity needs a forced psychiatric hold done. Her weight loss is very concerning. She has been having nightmares constantly and waking up screaming and or crying. She is suffering from severe depression right now. She has self harmed by carving words in her skin and has mentioned not only thoughts of suicide but the intention to carry out those thoughts. She is planning something to happen soon. She told me to buy her fifteen minutes away from you. Then I am to give you these and have you open the top one before you leave. She called someone named Marie having her lie to Santiago and Felipe to get them to come here. Take her to Cedar House for the psychiatric hold. They are expecting you." Dr. Dryman stated.

I immediately opened the envelope the top envelope it read, "Theo I'm sorry you had to find out this way but there is more the doctor didn't tell you. I left a letter for you at home explaining everything but things changed this morning. The doctor will want a psychiatric hold done but I'm going to be taken. I heard him planning it this morning. Viktor is the person who took me. I am stronger than you know despite my current state. Come for me in exactly three days. I'll need a ride home. I want some time to figure out who exactly is behind this. Open the second letter after Santiago and Felipe arrive. I know this is a lot to ask of you. Please remember that Viktor believes I am a sheltered ten year old. He will learn the hard way the lesson Zach and others learned through psychological torture." I quickly sprung into action running out of the room.

I made it outside just to see the car gone as Santiago and Felipe sped into the parking lot. I made my way to the place where Viktor parked finding a cellphone on the ground. I walked towards Santiago and Felipe in front of the entrance. "She's gone," is all I said before they both stiffened.  We all know what this means from the bosses. "She left us a note," I said holding up the envelope climbing inside the backseat of the car for privacy. Once they got back inside with the door shut I opened the note and read, "Santiago and Felipe to catch you up Viktor has taken me and I let him. I need you three to go home and confront my dominants for me. They crossed the queen. Marie or Elena have the manilla envelope for you to do so. The three of you are to read Theo's letter before hand it contains his full explanation of everything that has been going on with me and instructions. However, it is obvious that my psychiatric hold isn't happening now as I originally planned. After the last of my instructions are complete and only then you can inform them that I was abducted. I must thank you three for the other day immensely. I am alive because of you. I know you are all questioning why I did this the answer is quite simple. I needed away from them on my terms and Viktor was going to kill the three of you for information about the queen after beating you on our next outing. So I arranged it so I had different guards but I still had to get Theo away so I had the doctor play into my hand by saying I refuse help." "Get us home Santiago," I ordered as soon as I finished reading.  Santiago sped out of the parking lot as I told them about her first letter and what the doctor said.

The moment we got home I called for Marie and Elena. They instantly handed me a thick manilla envelope. I read the front of the envelope before heading to her throne room. Once all of us were in the throne room I stopped short at the bosses thrones on the main floor. The door was closed as I opened the envelope pulling out it's contents. I was met with several envelopes, a Polaroid picture, and a letter. I started with the letter reading aloud, "Theo I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I just couldn't admit it. The guys are all neglecting me. I have barely seen them at all. Mark and Darius I've seen twice in three months. Darius took me to the doctor and then shopping. Mark was on that same shopping trip and then yesterday when he committed abuse. The Polaroid shows what he did to me. It wasn't the actual act of belting me that was abuse. It was the violation of our contract by not discussing it beforehand and not caring for me after. You found me on the floor afterwards and carried me to my room. I only saw Andrew the day we went shopping where he in turn made me feel like trash afterwards from what Mark had him do as a reward for me not complaining while shopping by leaving. That was the only time I saw him in three months. The last time I saw Andre, Gabriel, and Jasper was all at the same time four months ago when Jasper took my phone away for playing 'an adult game' on it when the three of them happened to be leaving the private floors.
I've been basically in isolation for these past four months. It was by then that they completely quit their responsibilities of being my dominants. I still took my medicines everyday. I did everything they asked of me by putting up the facade of a ten year old and dealing with the tutors that did nothing but aggravate me. I've learned more than they even thought me. I speak six languages now as it was a distraction from them being busy. It only worked for so long though. I fell into a bad depression. I nearly fully stopped eating. I started carving the names they called me into my skin about three months ago. At that point I needed the reminder they were with me. I was so depressed you noticed and gave me a sketch book that is now filled of the good parts of them I once saw. It was the day I finished that that I carved the last name they all called me into my skin. Theo when you came up to give it back to me you don't know what you stopped. I had a knife to my wrist while sitting on the couch. I was going to kill myself the knife is still stuffed into the couch. You, Santiago, and Felipe brought life back into me that day.
The day I sprained my ankle is the day Mark came in mad I didn't take my medicines. He drug me by my hair from the couch to the kitchen where he forced them down my throat before belting me without a word. Once he was finished all he said was I wasn't to skip my medicines then left. That was the last straw for me. I am done. The queen will rise. Theo I am going to have a psychiatric hold it'll last three days. Follow my instructions on the next page please then inform them what happened."
