I scrubbed the toliet one last time before I stood up, glaring at Scarlette who stood behind me watching me.
"May I help you?" I snapped.
"What way is that to talk to your master." She replied with her arms crossed leaning against the door way.
"Just because Elliot assigned me to clean your room doesn't mean shit." I replied.
Oh had I not mentioned that Elliot, the idiot he was, had sent me off to clean some random girls room?
According to Rose the place were I had stayed was the pack house. Which was where the pack members lived.
Elliot and his personal maids lived at his almighty mansion a few miles away, and I had yet to see it.
"But Elliot said you have to listen to me or you will get punished." Scarlette said interrupting my thoughts.
I only glared at her, spending the rest of the afternoon cleaning her disgusting room.
Soon I was done and ready to head out and seek Rose.
I found her after some time wandering around. She was cooking up a meal in the kitchen.
"Hey rose." I greeted, sitting at a stool.
She replied back hesitantly, without looking up from the food she was preparing.
"Is something wrong?" I asked her.
"N-no."
"Yes there is. Does it have to do with what happened yesterday?" I pried further.
"Y-yes." She replied, I waited for her to explain but she never did.
"Well...what happend?" I said.
She still hadn't looked up from the food, "Elliot was furious I wasn't doing my job."
"That fucki- Did that son of a bitch hurt you?" I asked in a rush.
She didn't say anything and I gasped, aproaching her I realised she has been standing stiff. More stiff than usual.
"Where did he hurt you." I demanded.
She motioned to her back.
" May I?" I asked.
She nodded her head slowly, and I lifted her shirt carefully.
I cringed at what I saw, raw marks of a whip where visible, fresh and purple. Her back was all torn up. All this damage had been done for something as simple as not doing her job.
Turning Rose around, she dropped the knife she was holding in surprise.
I hugged her tight, sorry that it was all my fault she had gotten hurt.
~~~
After the hugging session, Rose got back to work, and we had a long conversation about the silliest things.
My anger towards Elliot had slowly dissolved, but that all changed when he stormed in the room.
Fuel was added to my hot burning anger at him.
He spotted me, a look of anger in his eyes.
It was as if the only emotions that he ever showed were anger or no emotion at all.
"You." He said holding my gaze. "Did I not make it clear to report back to me when you were finished?"
I didn't say anything and stared at him with a blank expression.
"Come with me." He said. "Now."
I stood up from my seat and followed after him, looking over my shoulder at Rose's scared expression.
I smiled her way to reassure her everything was going to be all right.
