A World Made For Whores

10: Planning

Night is pulling on his shirt when Desret enters his room.

"Your father has requested that you and all the Whores attend breakfast this morning to plan tonight's party."

"Even Glacier?"

"Specifically Glacier."

Night sighs. "Can you get one of her dresses?"

"You mean this?" Desret raises a pile of rumpled sheer white fabric.

"Thank you."

"No problem Night. I'll leave you to it."

As Desret leaves Night approaches Glacier. He slides her skirt gently down her legs and peels her top away from her skin. He gently lifts up her back sliding the loose dress over her body. He lifts her legs, pulling it the rest of the way on.

"Glacier baby wake up." He's tempted to kiss her but the slashes across her lips keep him from doing so. "Glacier."

"Hmm." She mumbles stirring.

"Hey. We have to go to breakfast." She nods slowly.

"Can you walk?" It hurts him to ask that question.

She pauses. "I don't think so. My back hurts severely."

"It's okay. I've got you." He lifts her eventually finding a grip that doesn't seem to cause her much more than discomfort. He silently carries her down the hall, past the many staring eyes of the staff.

When they enter the dining hall every head turns in their direction, but no one dares to break the silence. Night walks over to his chair setting Glacier down gently in the one beside it. He looks around at the many faces at the table. Some shocked, some blank, some upset, some somber, some tragic, and some satisfied.

"You want to plan a damn party then plan one." Night says, glaring at his father. His expression sours but he turns to the rest of the table.

"Yes well we need 20 girls working tonight. 5 will be dancers, 5 will be servers, and 10 will do their job as usual. 1 dancer has already been selected but the rest of the slots are open." His father says. "Any takers?"

"I believe that Glacier should be let out tonight." A girl by the name of Fern says. Murmurs of agreement travel through the group.

"I'm afraid that won't happen. She has already been selected as a dancer."

Glacier can feel the stares of her peers as she hides behind her tangled hair.

Slowly but surely the plans for the party are set. The moment they are finished Night scoops up Glacier, removing her from the room.
