Surprisingly there was a big Victorian styled tub inside. It looked like it could fit four of me with room. The walls where the similar to the bedroom with shelves imbedded in the walls as well as some more draw like things. In one of the corners there seemed to be a slope with wholes at the bottom kind of like a deep drain and a hose sticking out on one side, which I guessed was a sink. The other had a showerhead and a leaver. Shower. I rubbed my arms feeling the grime and dried blood. I think I needed more of a soak. My attention went back to the big tub. As I went to it I tried to figure out how it might get its water as I found no taps. Looking up I saw another showerhead and a leaver by it. I reach forward and pulled hoping for the best. Water flowed down fast and hot steaming already. I was amazed yet again and wondered who hand made this place. After about five minutes the tub was full. And I peeled my clothes off and sank into the soothing water. I closed my eyes and let my body and muscles relax. Bliss.

The door flew open and in came Lukas. I screamed out heart going crazy.

"Wah! What? Calm down! I'm just giving you some clothes. Got to go catch up with some people." He stated frustration lacing his words as he tossed the clothes onto a little table by the door as I clutched my body pressed to the side of the tub sinking low to hide my body. He stormed back out the room mumbling to him self and them slamming the door shut. I held still and then moved back. I grabbed some of the bottles on the side of the tub with I assumed were soap and lathered myself up. It took quite some time to get all the gunk and grime off and I had to go extra slow the cuts stinging, but eventually I could feel my skin again. I noticed that even though I had bruised dotted around they looked days old some of my cuts had started to close up some even fully healed. I stroked a mark on my leg and was stunned. How long had I been lying there on the forest floor before Lukas found me?

After another long soak I got out of the water and walked to the pile Lukas had left me. Seeing a big fluffy towel at the top. I wrapped up and dried my body and then got dressed. He'd given me a long top, which was way to big, but I shoved it over my head. It fell just above my knees. There were a pair of boxers which looked like they'd fall right off so I skipped them planning to find something else later. I picked up the woollen trousers next. They were much smaller and I could tell he'd borrowed them from someone else. I slipped into them and tugged the drawstrings tightening them shut around my waist. The bottoms were still too long so I had to roll them up a few times but over all I was dressed and they were clean and soft.

I didn't have underwear and although this was fine right now I figured I would need them again soon so I went to my dirty clothes. I picked out the bra and knickers trying my best to ignore the blood stains as I put them into the tub still filled with water and scrubbed them as best as I could. Then I put them on time of some loose branches hanging them to dry. I pulled the plug in the tub and watched as the red and brows flowed down and took a deep solidifying breath.
