Unseen darkness

Chapter three Lucy's POV.

Lucy's POV.

What the hell just happened? I'm sitting on the bed trying to catch my breath, "I can't believe this is happening" I put my head in my hands and try to gather my thoughts, I can hear psycho hottie outside the door talking to someone. Oh god there are others in on this, I need to get out of here. I jump off the bed wrap the duvet round me and start looking for my clothes. I search the whole room, nothing, the bastard has stolen my clothes. I start throwing what I assume are his clothes out of the drawers in a fit of rage, that bastard how dare he, I grab a t-shirt off the floor and shove it on, it swamps me but it will have to do. I hear the doorknob turn, shit he's back! I look around the room for something to protect myself with but I'm not fast enough, the door opens, I expected to see psycho man but instead a young girl with short red hair enters. Anger fills me once more, that's it, I can't handle anymore, I'm going to lose it! And this girl is going to be sorry she opened that door.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU" she stops and just looks at me, what the fuck is she looking at? She gives me a sympathetic look and a small smile.

"I think that t-shirt is a tad to big for you Miss Lucy" she gives me a bigger smile, what the fuck is going on here, it's like I've woke up in the fucking twilight zone.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU" I shout again, her smile disappears.

"My name is Ivy, and there's no need to be rude Miss Lucy, I'm here to help you"

"Oh thank god, I'm so sorry, thank you, thank you, but how are we going to get out of here?"

"Oh no sorry Miss Lucy I didn't mean that, I'm here to help you get cleaned up and get you some food"

"FOOD! YOU THINK I WANT FUCKING FOOD!" I let out an almighty scream.

"Miss Lucy please calm down"

"CALM DOWN! I'VE BEEN KIDNAPED AND EVERYONE IS TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN! WHAT THE FUCK!" I scream again, this time it's so loud it makes my ears ring.

"Miss Lucy please if they find you here they will kill you!" I stop screaming and look at her confused.

"He's going to kill me anyway."

"Who's going to kill you Miss Lucy?" My mouth drops open, is she playing dum or something? I don't think I've ever been as angry as I am now.

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?" Now she looks at me confused. Is she for real? "MR FUCKING PSYCHO!" I point to the door, she looks at the door then looks back at me, her eyebrows creased together in confusion, oh for fucks sake! "LEO! WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE? HE KIDNAPED ME AND BROUGHT ME HERE!" I sit on the edge of the bed and put my head in my hands, I'm exhausted, mentally and physically, I can't believe this is happening to me, I just want to go home. "I'm going to die" and for the first time since all this started I start crying, I feel the bed dip as Ivy sits next to me, she puts a hanky on my lap then puts her hand on my back, and I don't know how I could feel comforted in this mad place but I do.

"You're not going to die Miss Lucy" I look up at her, how can she be so calm? "Master Leo won't kill you Miss Lucy, you wouldn't be here if he was" Master Leo? Who the hell is this guy? "But if the guards find you here, well I can't say what would happen"

"Guards? As in prison guards?" She gives me a warm smile like the one you would give a small child when they don't understand something.

"No Miss Lucy, not prison guards, they are here for Master Leo's protection" ok now she's lost me!

"If he's not going to kill me then why would he bring me to a place were the people protecting him would kill me?"

"The guards never come in the manor, unless there is a problem, or they hear someone screaming like a banshee" she pats my back and smiles. Is she really trying to make a joke out of this?

"But why would the guards kill me?"

"Because of what you are Miss Lucy" what I am?

"What do you mean what I am? What am I? A victim? A hostage?" She looks at me with pity as I wipe my eyes with the hanky she gave me. "I just want to go home, why am I here?"

"I can't answer that Miss Lucy" she gives me that small smile again. "Come on I'll run you a bath, you'll feel better after you're clean and have had something to eat"

"I don't want a bath, I just want to go home" she stands up and pulls me with her, my brain is on overload, I've got no fight left in me so I just follow her. She leads me to a door in the corner of the huge bedroom, when Ivy opens the door my mouth drops open.

"Oh my god who needs a bathroom this big?" She giggles at me and I can't help but stare at her in shock.

"It is a bit over the top isn't it" she says and giggles again, then walks to the big free standing bath in the middle of the huge bathroom. "Come on I'll start you're bath then I'll go get you some clean clothes and something to eat" she turns the hot water on then goes over to a big cupboard an pulls out a big fluffy towel. I just stand there starring at her. She walks over to me and hands me the towel, "Miss Lucy it's ok you're safe here, as I said Master Leo won't hurt you" I shake my head.

"I don't think so Ivy" I put my head down and stare at the towel, "What's going to happen to me?" She puts a hand on my shoulder and lifts my chin with her other hand so I'm looking at her.

"Everything will be ok you'll see, now you have you're bath and I'll be back soon." She seems so sincere, so kind, how could she work for such a evil man? She gives me a quick smile and leaves. I'm all alone.
