I'm the Queen Dammit! ...And That Makes You My Dirty Little Secret

*cries eternally*

Mariska's POV

I wake up on the bathroom floor, with my hands tied to the sink. There is no sign of Julia, and I all I can remember am that she put some napkin over my face and I passed out. The worst past is when I realized Kelli wasn't in the room. There were no cuts on my body, and no bruises, so I'm assuming that she decided to mess with Kelli instead.

I knew I shouldn't have let Julia in. I let my past scare me into letting her in, and now she's hurting Kelli. I need to find her; I don't want Kelli to suffer. I pull my hands away from the restraints, but it's no use. I try again, but Julia has always been good at tying knots. I try for the third time, and it only digs into my skin again. I stop trying and look around the bathroom for anything I could use. There is a razor on the edge of the bathtub, and I think I can kick it off.

I outstretch my leg and try to kick it. My ends of my feet are only a centimeter away, and I try my best to reach again. My toes hit the end of the razor, and the razor falls into the tub. I sigh in defeat as I look around the room for other things I could use. There is nothing really, I guess I'll have to pull myself free.

I turn onto my knees and begin to pull my hands toward me. My hands won't come out, no matter how hard I try to free myself. I try so hard to pull my hands free, but it's no use. My wrists have been dug into and there are ridges in them now.

"It's really fun watching you struggle to save Kelli."

I turn my head toward the door where Julia is standing with Kelli's tie in her hand "What did you do to her?!"

"Don't worry; I'm almost positive that she's alive. She just a little... cut up. I'm think I'll keep the tie, maybe if she's not completely traumatized, she'll tell you how I used it?"

I glare at her, and she only smiles in return. "Get out! Leave before I get my hands out of my restraints, and kill you!"

"Mariska, I'll be gone soon enough. By the way, you're over thinking how to get out; it's actually fairly simple."

And with that, Julia leaves the room, and continues down the hall. I eventually hear the clomping of horse hooves and that's how I know she's gone. I take into consideration what she told me, and I try to see how I'm overthinking the whole thing.

I try multiple methods before I try the last method I could think of. I pull one hand instead of two, and my hand comes free. Then, I pull the other out with ease. I stare at my hands for a few seconds before I place my shaking hands onto the rim of the sink. I pull myself to my feet, and I immediately leave the room and go to find Kelli.

I search this floor first; I check every room, closet and bathroom on my floor before going to find her in a different floor. I check the floor underneath the last one with no luck. I check the other section of the second floor with no luck again. The last floor I check only has one closet left, and I'm sure Kelli is here.

I turn the knob.... And there she is, her pale, cut up, and naked body hanging by a chain. Tears blur my vision the second I see her. I run to her and look for a way to free her. Her head is hung low, and she looks dead.

"Ma..."

I look up; Kelli is still looking toward the ground. I get closer and ask her, "What is it, Baby? I promise I'm trying my hardest."

"Key... under..."

"Under what, where's the key?"

"Bucket... the corner..."

My head whips over to the corner where the bucket is. I run to the corner and throw the bucket aside. There lies a key, with a note attached from Julia. I throw the note behind my back and return to Kelli. Her breathing is a mix of huffs and soft whimpers as I unlocked the chains. When I finally free her hands, her weak body falls into my arms, and I hold her close.

It reminds me of how many times she's carried me, and this is my chance to pay her back. I stand up with Kelli in my arms, and she seems out cold by this point. I take her to the bathroom, where I wash her bloody body off.

When I finish the bath, the water has red streaks in it and I gently pull her out of the tub. I dry her body, and I apply bandages to all the cuts. She is still passed out when I put my bed shirt on her, and I lay her in my bed. She is asleep, and I think I can make her tea and come back before she wakes up.

When she wakes up, it five hours after the time I found her. I'm having Tamara over soon to make sure Kelli won't die. She opens her eyes, and she looks like she is going to cry. I'm sitting in a chair next to our bed, and she looks at me with sad eyes.

"I'm so glad you're awake. You don't have to talk, but drink this tea, you're probably dehydrated."

She tries to get up, and she gasps sharply as her arms give out and she falls onto the bed. I massage her arms before helping her into a sitting position. "Don't use your arms, they need to rest."

I had a spoon with me, and I brought both the teacup and the spoon close to her. I take a spoonful of the tea and blow lightly before Kelli sips the tea.

"It's probably not as good as your tea, but I tried."

I give her some more teaspoons before she tries to speak. "You need to read that note."

I look at her, confused and questioning, "What note?"

"Julia told me that," she stops to cough before continuing, "The note is important."

"Will you be okay if I run and get it really quickly?"

She nods weakly and I make my way to the closet. When I reach it, my stomach churns and I feel sick. I pick up the note and I read it.

Mariska,

By now, it's surprising that Kelli is still alive. Anyway, she's very strong, but she's not impossible. I hope that you have fun with the remains, she's all yours,

Love,

Julia Alfred.

I crumple up the note and throw it away. I go back to our room and Kelli is staring at the wall across from her. She looks at me when she hears my footsteps and say, "I might need some vacation days. I'm not in the best conditions right now, I can't work properly. And it's only the best for my Mistress."

She smiles sadly, and I kiss her cheek. She smiled with her teeth this time, and she looked at me, "Mariska, I love you."

"I love you too, and I promise this won't happen again."

"I'm fine, I'm just happy it didn't happen to you."

"Kelli, don't worry about me, just relax and let me help you."

"Yes, Mistress," she whispers, and then she closes her eyes. I have a small heart attack because I think she's dead, but then I hear her breathing, I calm down slightly. I can't wait until I can kick Julia's ass...
