A strong musty odor immediately hit my nose, as I woke up from my somber sleep. Soft voices echoed from the other room. I pulled my self up using my strongest arm to prop my back against the wall. Sweat had began to cascade down my forehead, clinging on to my skin. On one corner of the room a candle  sent off a golden orange glow.I shifted my sight to the other corner of the room, arms crossed leaning against the wall, stood a perfect shadow. Though I could barely see his face, his beauty radiated.

" I'm glad your finally awake, had me a bit worried there." The shadow said moving towards me, when he reached my presence, he bowed down to be at eye sight. He was breath taking, his golden brown eyes seemed to pierce right through you.

" I've brought you water." he told me softy, lifting the glass of water up to my shaky, cracked lips, I parted them as he tipped the glass sightly spilling the content  in my mouth. The luke warm water spewed down my throat, hydrating me as I gulped down as much as I could.  I wiped the corners of my mouths with my now distressed sleeve, and look back up at him. My legs shook as I tried to raise my body up, using the wall as my guide and support. My legs began to give out, and I was tumbling back to the hard cold cement floor, a pair of strong tattooed arms grabbed a hold of me pulling me up to my feet.

When I could finally stand on my own without tumbling down I shrugged his hands off of me, and wrapped my arms around myself.

"You're probably hungry aren't you?" not waiting for me to response he continued " There's fresh water and warm food waiting for you as well as a warm bath and clean clothes in your room, why don't you follow me." he began walking to the door holding it open for me to walk through.

The hallway was brightly lit, the creme colored walls stretched  further and further was we walked. On the walls were numerous paintings, a few that looked familiar but one especially caught my eye. A painting of a man who looked quite like the one walking me to my room. His eyes a deep shade of orangeish red,his jaws clenched and sharp, his expression so villainous you could feel the malice in his face. We walked further, stopping at a door; he pushed it open, letting me through.

The room was a lite shade of pink, on the bed lay a  bouquet of flowers and a golden tray with fruits and vegetables . I opened my mouth to ask a question but turned to find myself alone and the door closed.  I reached for the handle only to find it locked.

I slowly made my way to the bed, my ankle still very much sore, I inched myself closer avoiding putting weight on my now purple black ankle.

The flowers were as white as snow, freshly picked they smelled of spring. A note was placed just under one of the angle like flowers.

"There's much for us to talk about, there's a gown in the closet and a bath rung for you. Meet me for dinner, and I shall answer any of your questions.

-A.H "

I stood frozen, I knew this game far to  well.  The room had no windows and any sharp items had been removed before I arrived. 

Smart, I thought to myself. I stripped off my clothes and walked to the golden tub at the opposite end of the bed. Stepping into the steamy water, I let the water reach my neck before I closed my eyes and took a breath. I traced my fingers along the edges of the tub, feeling the flowers that were carved on the rim of the tub I hummed softly to myself. 

I steeped out of the tub and let the water run off of me creating a small pool of water. I wrapped my self around in a towel and opened the closet door. A gown longer than me hung on the other side of the closet door. 

I stepped into the dress, every inch clinging onto my waist. Behind me a the ivory dress continued leaving a trail of lace behind me. I put on the shoes that were placed inside the closet and walked to the door. Not knowing what my next step was I knocked, and the door immediately opened. My handsome escort was now replaced by a new tall and muscular man. 

"He's waiting, follow me." He said , his voice scratchy. 

Without another word he turned and I followed, we walked hall after hall until we reached a room that was filled with candles and white roses. In the middle of the room was a table that stretched out, each end hold one seat. 

I made my way to the table and sat down, cross the table sat the perfect shadow, the one that escorted me to my room. 

"Ah my love, you look breath taking." He spoke with gentle grace. 

He leaned in and moment his face hit the light I realized, he was the same man that I met at the cabin...
