After a few hours, she emerged into consciousness. Her waking moments lingered in a hazy, unhurried state.

"Where am I?" she muttered, slowly looking around. Her head ached and everything looked like a blurry memory. It was dark, she couldn't see well.

What seemed like a door just a few feet away pfrom her started to open, but not completely. Just enough to let Y/n see a portion of light.

That light became her hope, can she escape? Where even is she right now?

Her body still felt weak. She stood up with all her might, with the help of the pole behind her that she used for support.

She limped towards the door, but then metal chains were heard. She wasn't even halfway near to this so-called hope...

That's when she realized her surroundings. The pole she used for support to stand up was where she was tied to using a chain, the ones for locking up prisoners in dungeons before.

She started to panic and started pulling the chains, trying to break free.

"What?! Shit... I can't break these!" she whispered to herself as she continued to desperately break away from the chains.

She was like a little lamb that was thrown away in the lion's den.

She continued to grab the chain with every ounce of energy she had left when suddenly, a slick voice came from the door.

"You don't have to try so hard, Y/n..."

Terrified, she backed away from the door and came back to the pole that she was trying to break away from, she hid behind it, trying to use it to protect her from whatever was behind that door.

Scaramouche revealed himself. He was giggling and looked so happy. He went towards Y/n and crouched, "You're so cute. I can't help but laugh when you tried to escape. Did you really think... that you can get away from me? You did promise me something right... you'll be back to me after visiting your family. I don't see why you're so scared of completing your part of the deal."

"You... you bastard! I didn't agree to this! You killed my family!" She roared, glaring at Scaramouche with hatred.

"Hey calm down. I never said I killed them okay? They're here in the manor, having fun." he smiled and caressed Y/n's cheeks.

"Speaking of fun... do you want to have fun with me?" he asked, waiting for a reply.

"Fuck you!" spat Y/n, "give me proof that my family is alive and well you-"

WHACK!

Y/n felt silent and her eyes widened in shock, Scara slapped her. He grabbed her chin forcefully made her look at him.

"I'm done playing fucking games with you. You better shut your mouth if you know what's good for you, got it?" he threatened

She trembled in fear and started to cry, slowly nodding her head.

"Good. From now on, this is your new home. If you weren't so stubborn, you could've gotten a better room. Now be a good girl and your living status will improve based on your behavior, okay?" he smiled like an innocent kid, as if he wasn't mad earlier.

"O-okay, okay! " was all Y/n could utter as she choked on her tears.

He smiled and patted her head, "That's more like it! If you're always like that, we wouldn't have to be rude to each other."

He stood up and went to the door. "I have some errands to attend to, so while I'm gone, be a good girl Y/n!" we're his last words before leaving the poor woman alone in the dark basement.
