I sat in the back of the car, my black suit case next to me. The two men both sat in front mumbling words that's I couldn't quite comprehend. Whispering back and forth, I knew that they spoke quietly so I couldn't hear them. Not that I truly cared to be honest. I just wanted to go back home. Not home back in the shitty apartment with my broke mother, but back home in America. Before the incident.

"So, uh kid-" The driver started breaking me away from my thoughts.

"I'm not a kid." I spat at him. He gave me a glare in the mirror looking back at me.

"I don't what the fuck you are, and you better not use that tone with Styles." He grunts. I roll my eyes not caring what he says.

"Whatever." I mutter. "Where am I going anyway." I question. I don't understand what was going on, I've seen many people get taken away for disobeying his rules. Most people are taken to the Empires jail house. But I don't understand what I had done wrong. I have no reason to be there. So they were obviously taking me elsewhere.

"Styles." The man in the passenger seat spoke. He didn't bother looking at me, but kept his gaze out the window.

"Why? What's-" I was cut off my the same man.

"We don't know!" He yelled making me jump back and cower deeper into the back seats of the car. "We tried to figure it out for ourselves, but we honestly don't know." He whispers. I don't see why he was so upset. It's not like I know him.


"Stop talking Z, we don't want to tell her too much, Styles might get mad. And anyway, if you have questions just save it for Styles." The driver spoke calmly.

I decided to just stop talking, thinking it would be best for me. But my mind flooded with all the thoughts of what could be happening. People don't just get taken to Styles. Rarely do people get to see him.

The rest of the drive was silent. I was still in my school clothes, considering that's what I had been wearing when these men came to take me.

I looked down at my clothes, I hated the school uniforms. I hated the fact Master Styles forced us to have them. I pulled down my skirt trying to cover up my legs. Mother couldn't afford new ones for the school year and I had to wear the same ones from last year. Luckily I hadn't grown to much. Besides the fact that my chest had gotten bigger and the blouse was fitted tightly now. The uniforms were pretty plain. A black skirt, white blouse, white knee socks, along with black flats. Well for girls that is.

I look up and notice that we're now here. The official Empire castle. He drove in front of the gate and stopped at some sort of device. He pressed random buttons and the gates opened seconds after. He drove in and parked in front of the main doors. I've never been here in person, though I have on the local television.

"Come on now Ellie, Styles doesn't like to be kept waiting." This so called 'Z' said as he got out of the car and walking over to my side to open my door. He opened my door and I step out of the car. I slightly loose my balance but Z grabs my hand and steadies my body. Z grabbed my suit case for me and began to walk toward the entrance. I quickly followed behind him not wanting to get left behind.

He opens the door and began walking. I followed behind him quickly trying my best to keep up with his long strides. We walked up stairs and he led me to a large door down an empty hallway.

"This is it Ellie. Now be carful ok." He whispers. He hands my suit case over to me and gives me a soft sad smile.

He walks away leaving me alone in the abandoned hallway.
