He walks away and I am still sitting on the cold ground. I shakily got up and rush to the other room and grab my dirty clothing and slip them on. I start to round the corner to the stairs but I am pushed back. "Don't you just love hope?" I hear, seeing Michael standing above me.

"I thought you said I could go upstairs." I state, my voice weak.

He frowns for a moment then says, "You're not getting off that easily, Luke." He smirks.

"Then why..." I start, not knowing exactly what to say.

"I am going to set you straight, like I've tried before. When I throw a hit, do not give me some sort of smart ass remark, because I have a feeling you do not want to be locked up in those chains." He tells me, and I start backing away from him.

"Fuck you." I spit, his eyes were still black but I know that probably angered him. "I am going to say as I please. I think I know you well enough to say that I don't think you're going to rape me."

"You don't know me, Luke. I have done it before, twice I am pretty sure. Same person, but still. He cried each time, begged for me to stop, similar to you." He explains. I couldn't tell if he was being honest or not.

"You are so disgusting." I say to him, starting to sob. My breathing was picking up as I tried to move away from him. The crying was giving me a bad headache, and as a side effect I was becoming slightly dizzy.

I looked around, standing up. I stumbled a bit because I was light-headed. I am once again in the position I am pushed up against the wall.

"I haven't done this in so long." He tells me.

"My King.. What are you doing?" I hear from behind us and he turns around.

I do as well as see the Lords standing there.

"Go upstairs, now." He orders.

"Are you going to have intercourse with a human?" Ashton asks.

"I repeat, go upstairs." He growls.

"We came here because there is a group of maybe 300 humans, banging at the front gates. We need orders." Calum tells him.

He rolls his eyes, "Lock him up." He says, going upstairs with Calum.

Ashton comes over to me and grabs my arm. "Um... Cuff me to that pipe right there." He says, walking over to it, holding out his wrists.

"Why?" I ask.

"Just do it, and when you do, there is a secret entrance on the next floor down to the right; you can escape that way." He tells me. I bend down and hesitantly cuff his wrists to the chains.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask him, confused.

"I am going to tell Michael you leaned up against the wall here, and when I came and got you, you cuffed me." He keeps explaining. "You have about ten minutes before Michael and Calum realise that I haven't returned and come to check on me."

"Just tell me why." I say to him.

"Michael has been so preoccupied with you. Ignoring riots, not giving orders, just obsessing. Then we come down here and he is attempting to rape you. I am sorry about the other day and the head injury, but I want you to run." He tells me. I just nod and get up from the ground, my whip wound burning. The blood was obviously drying, and crusting, so movement hurt like a bitch.

I look once more at Ashton then head towards the staircase. I go down the stairs, and see a hallway on the right. I look up to make sure nobody was coming, and I run down it. I turn a corner and see a door marked "Exit".
