The Unknown Princess

Chapter 2

We walked to the door where a woman and a man greeted us.

"Sonya please make dinner" he says to the older looking woman she smiles and nods. Then sees me.

"Oh dear what happened to you" she says.

"Sonya please do what I asked. I'll talk to her then explain more later" the man says.

"Markus please show her the spare room, that is where she will be staying" the man says to the older man. He smiles at me and leads me to my room. It is huge. A king size bed and my own bathroom this is way better then the attic. He smiles and closes the door. I make my way to my new bed and lay down I gasp because it feels like clouds. I slowly start feeling tears run down my face and bawl my eyes out. There was a small knock on my door. Then it opens showing the elderly woman.

"Master Braxton told me to get you for dinner" she says I smile and nod. Following her out the door to what I'm guessing is the dinning room. There is a huge table I sit down and hear a gasp being me.

" No dear you can't sit there, that is Master Braxtons chair" Sonya the woman says.

"oh. I am sorry I didn't know" I say sliding out of the chair to move to another one.

"Why were you in MY chair" the man who found me all but yells. Glaring at me.

"Oh hush up boy, she didn't know" Sonya says glaring at him.

"She shouldn't be sitting until she knows where to sit" The man says still glaring at me.

"I am sorry sir." I say quietly looking down.

"Don't do it again child" he says, I keep my head down and move waiting to be seated somewhere else. When he sat down I moved to the chair next to him.

"not that chair." He says so I move down one

"no" he says again he nods his head to the one farthest away from him all the way across the room. This table can seat ten people on each side then one on each end. So you can tell how big it is. It hurt me for some reason that h wanted me to be so far away. When the meals were placed in front of us my mouth watered in hunger.

There was chicken and mash potatoes and gravy and corn and green beans and mac and cheese. Not just a little either. I had a plate of chicken and a bowl of potatoes, bowl of mac and cheese, gravy, corn green beans. Like a BOWL TO MYSELF OF EACH ITEAM! I knew my eyes gleaned of joy but I couldn't help the tears rolling down my face.

"Why are you crying dear" Sonya said

"I.. well.. I have never gotten this much food to myself before... Normally it's a can of green beans a can of corn and half a piece of meat ma'am." I say through the tears.

"oh.. you poor thing. Eat if you want more let me know" she says looking down at me sadly. I nod and start to dog in. I slowly look up forgetting someone else was at this table and when I looked up I met the eyes of the man who found me. He had disgust in his eyes. He immediately glared at me and looked down at his food again.

"Why do you hate me..?" I whisper he snapped his head up and glares.

"You're a pathetic person. Honestly I don't even know why I'm helping you. You are probably only doing this for attention. Oh and one more thing. Don't think you can sneak around here and steal my stuff for money. I am very knowledgeable on what I have and where it is and how it sits where it is. If I even see one thing out of place your gone." He says harshly.

"yes.. sir" I say as silent tears run down my face.

"what did I ruin your plan? Is that why your sitting over there crying like a little bitch?" He says glaring at me.

"enough, let the poor girl eat without being hurt" Sonya says walking in glaring at the man she calls Master Braxton. He glares at me even harder.

"that's exactly what she is a poor pathetic girl." He says as he gets up stomping out of the room. That is when it hit me and I cried. Sonya walks me to my room as I cry and plays me on my bed.

"sleep honey. Master Braxton just isn't used to this. He will get better in time" she says as I slowly drift into darkness. I toss and turn all night. Finally I wake up sweat pouring down my face all over my body. I think back to the nightmare that I was having, those three men from my parents house. They were doing it again a lot of screaming and kicking trying to get out of there hold but it wasn't working just like it didn't work last time. I decide to try and lay down and go back to sleep. Finally I did. After I went back to sleep the nightmares kept playing in my mind. I had a rough night that night. I would dream about the men. Then about my parents. Abusing me. anything they could do to hurt me. I woke up again with sweats. This time I went to my bathroom and relaxed in the warm tub that I ran for myself. After I got out I out on my clothes and laid back down. Slipping into the darkness.
