The Kings Love

Where am i?

( Jasmine )
( Day 62, December 23rd )

Darkness. That's the only word that could describe what I saw. I panicked because I knew my eyes were open yet I couldn't see anything. It took me a second to realize that I couldn't see because there was a blindfold over my eyes. I tried to move my arms to remove it but they only lifted maybe an inch before I felt something pull them back down. What the hell? I tried to lift them again, harder this time and I felt cool metal bite into my skin. Handcuffs? Why was I handcuffed?

Jasmine: "Laurent?" I said his name tentatively, hoping that he would be the one to answer back. But the voice that responded wasn't Laurent not was it a man. Why did it sound so familiar?

"Ah I didn't noticed that you were awake. Here, let me help you." I felt hands, rough yet soft, touch the side of my face, lifting the blindfolds up. I blinked a few times, the sudden light hitting my eyes burned for a few seconds. When my vision fully returned and I saw the person the voice belonged to, dread hit me like a ton of bricks.

Jasmine: "M-mom? Wh- why are you here? How did y-you get to Parisih?" My shock was leaking into my voice, causing me to trip over my words. My mothers cruel laughter was booming to my ears, I felt sick.

Ana: "Oh you poor dear. You think we are still around your Kings. No, you are back in the beautiful sunny state. Did you miss me?" The dread intensified and I gasped for air. I was back in Florida? How? When? I looked into the dark eyes of my mother and forced the words out.

Jasmine: "How did I get here? I can't remember anything! What the fuck did you do to me you evil bitch?!" My mothers eyes grew even darker and she brought her hand across my face hard. I cried out as her ring cut the flesh of my cheek. She came closer and I tried to back away, only to hit the backboard of a bed. She grabbed my hair hard and pulled my face close to hers.

Ana: "Listen here you stupid cunt! You will never speak to me like that again or I will do far worse than slap you. As to how you got here, Hiro simply knocked you out with a sleeping draught he slipped into the water in your room. While you were showering." I tried so hard to recollect what happened after Laurent left but I was drawing a blank.

Jasmine: "I-I don't remember." She pushed my head against the backboard and walked away from me, laughing with twisted glee.

Ana: "Of course you don't. I made the draught extra potent, you probably will never remember what happened in the time between you drank the water until the time you just woke up today. By the way, that was two days ago." I closed my eyes and cried. Two days. I wondered if Laurent was looking for me or whether he hated me for what I had told him about Candice. I heard a door close and my eyes reopened, seeing that my mother was gone. My heart begin to hurt and I tried to keep the ragged hyperventilating at bay.

I observed my surroundings and hardly saw anything that could help me. There was just the bed I was on, a table to my left and a wooden pillar dead in the middle of the room. Nothing else. Why would my mother bring me here? What did she even want with me? Her words came back to me full force as I recalled that she said the name Hiro. I choked on my breath as I realized my own stupidity. Hiroshi. That son of a bitch! I almost broke down as I realized that Candice must be part of this too. The door opened again and Hiro walked in, Candice at his side. I sat upright and gulped.
