I was startled awake by the sound of something hitting a medal pole. I jumped and looked around. I was in the middle of the punishment field. Surrounding me were the women, men, and guards of the small little town. The Head Master stood next to the punisher. He didn't look to happy with me. I knew why. I ran again and I was in favor with him. I was his favorite bride. Yes, I said bride. I stood up and tried to move towards him only to find out my hands were bound. I looked down and my hands were tied around the punishment pole that stood about 30 feet tall and made of medal. I knew what was going to happen. He is going to kill me.
"Please don't kill me." I begged.
"Giselle I told you what would happen if you run right?" My Head Master was Michelangelo, which meant who is like God. His full name is Michelangelo Riccardo Basillo. His full name has a very powerful meaning that he took seriously. His middle name means powerful ruler while his last name mean king. Like I said he took his name literally. I researched him which was the worst mistake of my life. I'll get into that another time. Let's get back to the situation at hand.
"Yes sir." I said. I was terrified. I knew I shouldn't have ran but I did and now I am going to pay the ultimate price.
"So why did you run?"
"I just wanted to go home. I miss my life." I cried.
"I told you were mine. Did I not?"
"Yes but I..."
"And you deliberately disobeyed me. Hmmm, you know you are my favorite and you decide to go against my rules. You are setting a bad example for the other girls."
"I'm sorry I promise I won't run again."
"You said that the last two times and yet you still disobey." He walked closer to me and caressed my face. "I do love you Giselle. I do really do but I still have to punish you for not listening to me and not following the rules. I'm sorry but I have to do this because if I don't the other girls will think its okay to run when it's not. You are going to be an example." He walked away from me and walked over to the punisher. Nobody knows what he looks like. He always wore a mask with the eyes cute out, leather pants, and no shirt. He grabbed the whip released it. It was a long leather whip that had small spikes on it. My fear increased. "10 whips, two weeks without food, and one week in the basement!!!! Let this be a lesson to everyone one who disobeys me!!" He shouted in the crowd. Everyone looked scared besides the men who shook their heads.
"Please." I begged.
"Do it." The punisher nodded and threw the whip towards my back. I closed my eyes tight and wait for the impact. Once it came I screamed out in pain and almost dropped to the floor. The pain is unbearable. It felt like someone was stabbing with a thousand knives. The came and I cried out again. When the fifth one came I was one the floor begging for mercy. The sixth it me on my rib cage which was bad. I felt my skin rip away from my body and my blood dripping down onto the ground. I lost count after the sixth hit. I knew it was going to be more because I disobeyed him too many times and he doesn't like when his favorite girl disobeys him. Before my punishment was over I blacked out.

I woke feeling warm rags being placed on my back. I winced when they started cleaning my wounds. I looked around and noticed I was in the infirmary. It looked just like a hospital and smelled just like it too. I groaned and tried to sit up when a hand stopped.
"Do not move. Your wounds are still open and bleeding." Mai said. She was a very pretty Asian women whom I respected very. She had the features of any Asian women with really long jet black hair that stopped below her waist. Today though she had it in a huge bun on top of her head. She was the head nurse in the infirmary and is the only nice one here. Everyone else hated me because I was Master's favorite. I don't see why they are mad I didn't want to be here in the first place. I was force to stay here.
