A Queen and Her King

Chapter 18

Scarlett pov

*knock knock*
Someone tapped on the door.
Who the hell is that... maybe its Dean, I wonder if he's still pissed.

Flashback
We were back in the room. That fight with Ivory was childs play but it still had me a bit on edge. I took a seat on the bed.
"Aren't you going to tell me what happened back there?" Dean asked breaking the silence.
I looked up and saw him still standing and a very pissed off look on his face. Though I don't get why he's angry at me that bitch started it.
"Simple... she came into the washroom and she hit me" I said in a dah tone.
He held the bridge of his nose and exhaled. He wasn't angry anymore, he was annoyed.
"Ok Scarlett... I'm going for a walk I need some fresh air" he said and before I could say anything he was gone.
End flashback

Or maybe Louis... my heart stopped and my breathing picked up. Louis... anything but that.

The knocking continued. I slowly walked towards the door, my hands shaking on the cold door knob.
Finally I turned it and the door opened, revealing the person.

Ivory pov
Scarlett opened the door and as soon as her eyes landed on me her face was immediately stricken of any signs of emotion and her eyes became cold and dead.
"Ivory..." she said calmly greeting me but her voice bitter as my name rolled off her tongue.
"Ok I'm just here to apologize for picking a fight with you. It was wrong but I was just upset when I found out about you and Louis-" I said
Her eyes lit with fury as I said Louis's name.
"First off Louis and I aren't a thing I don't know where your getting that from but-" she said
"You can cut the crap... I know... everything" I said calmly
A shocked expression covered her face.
"Can I come in?" I asked
She didn't say anything, she just moved aside.
I took a seat and Scarlett sat opposite me.
"How much do you know?" She asked with a grim expression.
"That you and Louis are involved... sexually" I answered in a disgusted tone
"But what I don't understand is why. Dean is a great guy but yet you choose a bastard like Louis." I continued
She let out an empty, emotionless laugh.
"You know nothing." She said to me. Her voice cold and deadly

Scarlett pov

"You know nothing" I said in a cold voice.
"Then tell me, enlighten me as to why you would hurt a man like Dean." She begged me.
I bent me head and a single tear slipped out but I made sure it went unnoticed.
"Ok I'll tell you what Louis was like...
I lived in the El Bridget house for 13 years. 9 of those years was spent being Louis's personal sex slave. I had to do everything he told me to do. From washing his clothes to fucking him. It was all done against my will of course." I look at Ivory and saw the look of horror on her face.
I let out another emotionless laugh.
"There was this one time, he made me strip down to absolutely nothing. He had given me a brown leather collar, it was tainted with me blood from when he pulled it too tight. There was also a large and very heavy silver chain. He would hook the chain at the bottom of the collar. He tied me on his balcony and threw a heap of food on the ground. I remember his words clearly eat like the dirty dog you are. I bent down to my knees, tears rolling down my face and picked up the food with my hands. He hit me with a wip I didn't say you could use your hands He shouted." I felt the tears rolling down my face as I recalled my past and I saw the sadness and pity in Ivory's eyes.
When she didn't say anything I continued.
"After he made me eat every last grain of rice from the ground with my hands tied behind my back and the rope burning my flesh. He dragged me to his room by my hair and told me I had to get cleaned up.
He chained me to a pipe in the bath and watched as I showered.
Louis and I might be related but from the depths of my heart I hate him." I finished
Ivory was dumbfounded after I finished tell her what her Freezer was capable.
"So that night... when he came in late he... he"Ivory stuttered
"No he didn't rape me... but" I said standing up. I backed her and let down the back of my dress.
"Instead he did this" I said showing her my scars.
"But your a Pandora why hasn't it held yet?" Ivory asked shocked.
"I'm not sure what was on the wip but it takes longer. It should disappear something tonight." I reassured her.
"How is Dean handling all this"she asked
I let out a laugh
"You think he knows?" I laughed again
"He doesn't know?!?! Scarlett you have to tell him." She said in utter shock.
"Tell him you say... it was already said that I would have a Freezer and now that I do you want me to tell him what? I could never tell him at least not now." I said sadly
Ivory nodded in agreement "I think I should let you know... I'm leaving Louis. Don't think its because of what you told me tonight. He was never the one so I guess it wouldn't have worked out anyway".
I nodded. "You have to do it after the ball though" I told her.
"Of course" she said and with that left.

About a hour later Dean came in. I was already in bed so I pretended to sleep.
"I no your awake Scar" he said getting into bed.
"I don't wanna be mad anymore... I miss you too much." He said sounding truly sincere.
That one line sent butterflies in my stomach.
I turned and faced him. Almost immediately he planted a kiss on my lips. And then I fell asleep in his arms.
