Stolen

Chapter 3

"Here you go. You have five minutes to get changed or you go another day without food." He threw some clothes at me then walks out of the room. I quickly took off his shirt and my pants. He gave me a matching set white bra, underwear, and sundress. I put them on as fast I possibly could. I am really hungry. Just as the dress drops down and hits my knees Damien opens the door.

"Good girl. Now let's go get you some food. We have some talking to do. Follow me. Don't doddle."

He turns and out the door he goes. I follow silently, struggling to keep up. Down the hall way, three flights of stairs, through the foyer and into the dining room.

He points to the chair at the far end of the long oak table, "sit, don't move, don't talk, and don't even think about trying to escape. Failure really isn't worth the pain I will put you through if you do. You understand," he ordered in a deep stern voice that made fear rush through my body as if it never left.

"Yes, Sir." 

He walked through a set of swinging doors into what I can only assume is the kitchen. I walk to the end of the table and sit down like I was told. I sit on the very edge of my seat, slightly angled toward the door we came through in case I need to run. Just as I look back up he is walking towards me with a plate of food that smells amazing. He set the plate in front of me and sits down in front of me, blocking my path to the door. I look down and on my plate is a pile of KD and a grilled cheese sandwich. I look up and he smiles at me. I grab my fork eating as much as I can as fast as I can. He sits at the other end of the table silently watching me as I eat. Just as I finish a young boy no older than 15 walks in and takes my dirty plate.

Damien stands up and says, "Wait here," in a stern voice. He walks out of the room gracefully and in the bat of an eye returns with three men following him that are perfect in every way possible. I feel like I know them but how could that be possible. I would remember those faces. Then it hits me. Those are the same men from the party, the ones who brought me here. My blood starts to boil and I want to scream at the. For bringing here, making me lie to Tate and most of all threatening Tess. I feel the heat of my anger rushing to my face and Damien must have seen it because a low chuckle leaves him. The three younger faces stare at me amused. The all have the same dark hair that seems to sit perfectly on their heads like a crown. The man standing closest to Damien had a slim face with defined cheek bones and perfect pink lips. His eyes are a beautiful shade of blue that makes me want to cry. The man next to him has the same eyes. Infact all three of them have the same eyes, slim faces, defined cheek bones and lips. But they each have a different smile and atmosphere that easily sets them apart. The one nearest to Damian is obviously the domineering of the three of them. The middle one looks a lot more kind and warm while the farthest is difficult to read.

Damian begins to speak, “Alice these are my sons Azas, Caspian and Marcellus. They have brought you here because of who you are. And in time I might tell you who that is. But for now you will be only on a need to know bases. The woman you called your mother was a witch who has no relation to you at all. A long time ago the was a little girl who was stolen. You are that little girl and she took you. Because of that, I killed her. We watched you carefully for a while. We weren't going to bring you here so soon but someone else has been watching you. So we had no choice. Sorry darling but this is where you will be spending the rest of your days. You are free to make yourself at home but know that there are rules and when rules get broken there will be a punishment to follow. Understood?"

"Yes, Sir." I can feel the tears trying to force their way out but I refuse to look weak in front of the people who a willingly tearing my whole life apart.

"Good. Now Miss Alice the rules are very simple. You are not to leave the grounds unless I personally allow it. For the first week or until we see fit you are not allowed to leave your room unless accompanied. After that you are free to wonder the castle as you wish but you must remain indoors until we trust you. You will address us all respectfully. You will also follow any orders given to you. We all eat together. And the most important rule of all Miss Alice. You are to remain in your while there is any company at the castle. Do I make myself clear?" He said the last part more harshly than the rest.

"Yes, Sir. May I be taken to my room now?" I needed to get out of here.

"Of course dear," he says then turns to Azas, "Azas can you see to it Miss Alice here gets taken to her room. I have some work to do." Before he could reply Damien disappeared.
