FERNWOOD ACADEMY

scene 2 rules.

Silas leads me down the hall to his wing. As he is walking me down he grabs my hand and keeps looking over at me at every move I make. When we reach his wing he opens the door to a giant kitchen and I'm beaming and hoping that I will be allowed to cook in this beautiful kitchen. My mother taught me how to cook when I was young and it's one of my favorite things to do. It reminds me of home and good memories. As he sees me gushing over the kitchen he just rolls his eyes and says " now this way to your room" he walks me down the hall and the room is huge. A king bed and my own bathroom. The bedding is black silk and the walls are painted a light gray. The room smells like roses and I could just about fall into that bed right now. He pulls me over out of the room showing me the rest of his wing. He takes me to his room but doesnt even let me past the door frame. "Now this is my room. You are not to enter unless prompted to. If I ever see you here without permission I can promise you will not be able to sit the next day. Understand?" he says in a harsh tone. i shake my head then he snaps back "words now." "yes' 'I quickly said back. From what I can see of his room, it's very dark. Everything is either black or gray. He quickly moves on and rushes me out. He sits me down at the kitchen table. "Alright now we are going to go over some rules. Are you ready?" he says. "Yes' 'I say. "Okay rule number one no cursing i will not tolerate it i am very strict on this i find it very disrespectful" i nod my head. This will be very hard for me to get used to. I have a potty mouth at home and my parents aren't too fond of it either so maybe it's for the better. "Next rule number two you will not leave my side outside of this room unless when you are in class I need to make sure you are safe and on my watch. Next you must eat  three meals a day and drink enough water and go outside for at least 30 minutes a day." he says. This will be tough for me. I've struggled with eating forever just because of the drugs I've taken and how some suppress my appetite. I got used to not eating a lot. "You must keep all your grades in your classes above a b+, you must not question my words or instructions and overall you just follow what i tell you to do. You must address me by sir or master never should i ever hear my name come out of your mouth. If you break any of these rules you will have a punishment and trust me i don't hold back so think before you act. Do you understand?" he says. "Yes sir" i say "good." he says. I really hate this so much and from the outside it looks like i couldn't care less but honestly i don't know how i am gonna live like this. I'm bad at doing things that I don't want to do and I know that sounds like I'm self centered or selfish but honestly I have a good work ethic just on my own time. I'm going to try to comply with these rules as best as I can because I just want to get out of here and be better. I'm not so sure I can trust Silas but I want to give him a chance. "Okay you are dismissed to your room august" he says. "Thank you sir" i say. As I walk back to my room a pool of emotions floods me ,I start to break down. All the thoughts of all the bad things come into my mind. As if they were playing the moments of your life before death. I feel so bad that i drove my parents to the point where they had to do this. I know this is something they definitely don't agree with but the fact that they did it for me actually means a lot instead of a punishment. I just don't want to get hurt anymore and I think Silas can help me. As i lay down in my bed i imagine his big muscular arms wrapped around me as i fall asleep.
