Unexpected Power

the abuse

You look at yourself in the mirror as you were putting on some makeup before the big play. You were very nervous despite the fact that you've done this all before. It's just that there was such a big crowd that you felt that it was going to be overwhelming with all the eyes on you. Deep down however, you felt that tonight was going to be different. You reach over the vanity to grab some blush, but you suddenly knock a box over and a folded piece of paper addressed to you slips out. You bend down to pick it up, curious now to see what was inside. Could it be a love letter perhaps? You smile a little at the thought and open it. Your eyes scan the page and your smile soon fades once you begin to read. 'dear Y/N, please watch your back as there are some pretty wretched people conspiring against you tonight. Whatever you do, do NOT trust anyone that approaches you. Be on the look out as you head home and stay safe. sincerely, Anonymous'. You looked confused and scared. You didn't understand any of it. Why would someone want to do any harm to you? You are a famous actress after all. Adored by everyone that have watched your plays.

Then a knock on the door followed by the voice of your director calling out to you startled you. You quickly shove the note back among your belongings. "My lady, your part is coming up next". You thank the director and quickly finish getting ready. Before you could leave the room to head towards the stage, your mother ran into the room and towards you. "my dear, are you ready?" your mother asked while fixing your dress, smiling. "Make me proud".

You nod your head and walk out of the room towards the stage to do your act. However, As you step on stage you felt an intense gaze of someone staring at you from among the crowd. Your eyes quickly look towards the faces of the audience until you spot a young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes looking your way. There was a grin on his face and the look of it made your skin crawl. Then your eyes looked over to the man that was sitting next to him. His piercing golden eyes that hid behind his glasses caught your attention as your breath caught in your throat. He was very handsome with dark hair as he was nicely dressed. You almost couldn't tear your eyes from him, but the voices of the other actors repeating their lines snapped you out of your trance. Your cheeks became pink embarrassed that you'd let someone distract you from your work. You began to act allowing yourself to become lost in the make believe world that your mind created. This is why you loved acting. It was you're escape away from your hard life.

Once you finish your act you get your things ready and exit the theater. As you walk down the alleyway into a mysteriously empty street. You suddenly hear a noise with the note in mind and you quickly hide. But you then notice it is just a saint bernard. As you were about to leave the hiding spot a hand covered in a white glove covered your mouth. You give a muffled scream and try to get out of his grasp but everything goes black.

You wake up laying on a couch with your hands tied in front of you. You glance around the room such beautifully colored paintings, the floor was a gold that shined in the light. And the couch was a lovely blue. You hear footsteps coming from behind young you quickly sit up. The same young boy you saw was standing before you. "Your awake! Finally. Claude look I finally have her!" Alois smiled and jumped around in excitement. Claude sighed and pushed his glasses up a bit. "young master.... please".

Alois crouched down in front of you and placed his hands down on your lap "I love you.... so very much y/n..... I admire your talent as a actress and how swiftly you play those characters. and how beautiful you are". you look down at him with a glare. Alois smiled "y/n I love you do you love me back?" you shake your head and groan "I'm sorry. I do not love you. I've only just met you. and you kidnapped me which makes me decpise you" Alois frowned and stood up his eyes glared at you from top to bottom. "you filthy bitch" Alois smacked you. you wince in pain. Claude looked at you and sighed, "young master...". Alois looked at Claude "shut it Claude I didn't ask you to talk did I ?"
