The Winter Widow

Chapter 4

AURELIA NATALIE HEART

I woke up and noticed I was still in the same room. Guess it wasn't a dream after all and I'm really here with James.

I climbed out of the bed looking around the room. It feels so empty yet so full in here. James had his clothes on the floor along with some other things. He could never keep his space tidy even in the cell it was always a mess.

"Little doll?" James poked his head into the room as I turned around facing him. He smiled at me as I smiled back. "James." I whispered out as he walked in. "Come on let's go get you some breakfast." He put his hand out as I grabbed it.

We walked out the room down the hall making two lefts before we entered the kitchen. "Sit." He said pointing to the stool by the counter. I did as he told me too as a girl with red hair placed a plate full of food in front of me. 

Is this a trap?

"Eat sweetie, it's for you." She told me as I looked at James who gave me a nod to eat. "It's safe don't worry little doll." I nodded my head and picked up the fork and poked at the pancakes. I haven't had one since the red room when my aunt would make me some.

"I'm Wanda sweetie." She introduced herself to me. I swallowed my food before replying. "Aurelia." She smiled at me. "It's a beautiful name." I felt my cheeks heat up. "Thank you." I looked down at the plate and continued to eat.

I ate my food in silence not wanting this moment to get ruined so I ate quietly. 

I finished my food and stood up grabbing my plate placing it in the sink. I turned the water on as James stopped me. "Don't worry about that little doll." He said as i furrowed my brows at him. "But I should wash the dishes because she made-Don't worry about it okay, someone else will clean this mess up but for now just follow me."

James cut me off and grabbed my hand leading me to another room. My stomach feels so full from the food.

I hadn't eaten since last Sunday because I messed up in training so they punished me by taking away food from me.

We walked into a room that looked like a lab but not quite like a lab. "This is our medical room." That's the name I couldn't remember the name for it. Medical room.

"This is Bruce, Bruce this is Aurelia." James introduced us to each other. "It's very nice to meet you Aurelia." Bruce told me as I nodded my head. "You too sir." He looked at James confused. Did I say something wrong?

"You don't got to call him sir little doll." "But-You don't have to okay?" I nodded my head. He lifted me up placing me on the bed. "So Bruce here is going to draw some blood, so we can run some test." James said.

Test?

"It's just so we can find your aunt and parents." I nodded my head. "And so we can make sure you're all healthy." Bruce added in. He grab something and wiped my arm then dried it and poked me with the needle as i squeezed my eyes shut.

"All done!" Bruce said adding a bandaid to my arm. "We should get the results in a couple days." Bruce told James. "Okay thank you Bruce." I got off the bed and followed James out.

"I thought it was rude not to call them sir?" I asked James quietly. "No it's not rude little doll, you don't need to call anyone sir ever again." I nodded my head. Until they find me and I will have to start it up again.

"Come on let's go find Nat." He said as we entered the room we were in yesterday.

He found her along with the same lady from this morning Wanda, and some other people and the short dude with the arrow who took me from my cell.

"Hello little one." The short one with the arrow said. I forgot his name I think he told me I'm not to sure. "Hi." I mumbled quietly not sure what to do. I grabbed James hand holding it and squeezing it feeling so uncomfortable being in here with people I don't know.

"Sweetie can we brush your hair?" Wanda asked as I touched my hair. I shook my head no immediately. It's a trap!

Last time someone brushed it they cut it short and I couldn't stop them because it was my punishment. Since that day I don't let no one brush it nor have I. 

"You don't want your hair brushed?" James asked me as I shook my head no. "Please don't make me." I whispered to him. "I won't." He touched my cheek as I nodded my head.

"Can I go back to that room now?" I asked him. I need a routine I don't like not having one. Least being in the cell I knew I couldn't go nowhere I was stuck there. "Of course, want me to show you the way?" He asked me as I shook my head no.

"It's okay, I remembered the way." He gave me a nod. "Let me know if you need anything little doll." He told me as I gave him a nod and walked off.

I quickly went to the room shutting the door sitting on the bed. Maybe if just stay in the room I wont have that weird feeling anymore. I don't know what it is but I don't like feeling like that.
It's safe to just stay in here and I won't feel like that.

Yeah I can just stay in here.
