When Scarlett woke up she was on a cold and cracked cement floor. Slowly she sat up to see the metal bars that encaged her. She was trapped in a cell. Men came in through a door and she suddenly became aware that her clothes had been stripped from her body. She was completely naked in a cold cell with men surrounding her. She fell to her knees and attempted to cover her large breasts with her trembling hands.
" Now now pet, no need to cover up. You should flaunt your body more. It is very desirable." A tall man came out the of the shadows and revealed his twisted grin. " When they said you were beautiful i didnt believe them, but my oh my. You are a sight. "
" What do you want with me?" Scarlett's voice trembled.
" I wish i could say one thing to ease your blocked mind but to be completely honest there is a plethora of things i want to do with you. To you, " he licked his lips, " first however why dont we get you cleaned up and clothed. Not to much clothes however. That flesh of yours is quite delicious." He disappeared back into the darkness. Somewhere in the room a lever was pulled by one of the minions and a small trap door opened beneath Scarlett's knees. She tumbled down the chute and fell into some warm water. Scarlett coughed on the water that had gotten into her mouth. When she resurfaced she was in a sparkling room. White granite pillars reached up a to a tall ceiling. Statues were placed pouring out water into the circular pool Scarlett was in. An elderly woman came in from the opening across the lounge area. A towel in one hand and a basket in the other.
" Can you help me out of here?"
The woman said nothing just knelt beside the pool and opened the basket. The overwhelming smell of vanilla filled the room.
"Vanilla is his favorite," she said in a feeble voice.
" Please. Help me get out of here. You can come with me." Scarlett reached up and touched the woman's hand. A hard hand collided with Scarlett's left cheek. " You'll learn not to speak of such things. He will not let you escape. Now let me do my job, do whatever i say or there will be hell to pay." Scarlett nodded. Her cheek was already bruising. She may be old but that woman had a powerful slap. The woman got to work on Scarlett. Washing her hair, exfoliating every inch of her skin. Once the bath was finished she moved Scarlett to one of the lounge chairs. She clipped her nails and buffed them. It would've been like a day at a spa if it weren't for the fact she was here under protest. The pampering went on for two more hours. Scarlett was was led into a room filled with clothes. Ball gowns, cocktail dresses and some very erotic lingerie. The old woman grabbed a long black gown and and handed it to Scarlett. She put it on. The black silk cupped her body in all the right places. Once the dress was on the old woman directed her to some sort of chamber. The halls were black leaving Scarlett to cling onto the woman's hand for guidance. The sound of doors opening entered Scarlett's ears. Light escaped from the room she was being forced into. It was a large square room. Guards in black suits were placed on either side of the door. In the middle of the room was a large oak framed bed covered in red satin sheets.
" So glad you could join us." The maid pushed Scarlett forward into the room closer to the man. The same man from the hall. He was wearing an open black robe. With the proper lighting Scarlett could make out his features. It was the same man from the alley but she could see him clearly now. His hair was parted to the side of his head. Blonde strands loosely curled around his shoulders. He reminded Scarlett of a surfer. He had a chiseled jaw and hard muscles. Handsome. Sexy. Things Scarlett would have called him if he hadn't just kidnapped her. He stepped closer to Scarlett. His hand reached out and carresed her cheek. She winced as his hand touched her bruised skin.
" I like my woman to have bruises," he looked at her devilishly, then his gaze reached past her and landed on the maid, " but only when they're left by me. Execute her." The two guards closed in around the maid. A look that screamed save me appeared on the woman's face.
" Please! Master my children! Spare me, i beg of you!" She sobbed and fell to her knees. The gaurds continued. A fire grew within Scarlett. Her hair began to glow a dark red. Red smoke engulfed around her. Her body moved before she could give a command. One guard on the floor dead, then the other. Scarlett's arms wrapped around the maid as a shield to protect her.
" Well i suppose Ill be needing new gaurds." The man chuckled. Suddenly the glass roof shattered. Black masked beings uniformly fell to the floor and landed on their feet. Two masked men grabbed him and pushed him onto the ground restraining him. Others secured the area and fought of the other guards. One masked and knelt beside Scarlett.
" Help....her."Scarlett gasped. Her vision went black and she passed out on the floor.
