Love or hate?( A difficult choice)

Chapter 5

I am really sorry Miss Ava, you can't leave this place."he repeats. It took a while for me to register his words. What do you mean I can't leave? I am not going to stay here I need to go home I shouted as fear and anger took over. Is he saying I will have to serve him because he helped me last night. Is he crazy? How could he think like that, I am not a prostitute. He can't keep me here against my will I wont let it happen.

It's simple this place is your new home and you will live here from now on, you should go back to your room now and I will call you when we will need you".

" am not an item of decoration that you can keep and flaunt when you want. I know you helped me last night but it does not mean you can keep me as your payment. Kevin why aren't you saying anything tell your friend I am not that type of girl, I will never stay here. I looked at Kevin with pleading eyes, I was trying really hard to keep a hold on myself but was failing miserably. With every passing minute the knot in my stomach was growing. Kevin was quiet and his eyes were glued to the floor.

"I am really sorry Ava but I can do nothing to help you." I was stunned and tears now pricked my eyes, I felt helpless how do I go through this now when I am all alone. "Thomas please be polite don't need to be rough with her" I heard Kevin say.

I looked at Thomas, the black eyed guy "why are you doing this, please let me go. Please, I begged tears now flowing freely down my cheeks. Why? Why is this happening to me what have I done so wrong for this to happen. "What have I done for me to stay here like a prisoner? I want to go home, please.

"This is your home from now on and faster you accept it better for you, now go back to your room Master would call you soon". Thomas said completely unfazed by my pleas. My Instincts told me to run but where. I looked around to find an exit but had no idea where it was. I was completely passed out last night to notice anything. Damn that alchohol.

"Guards take her away and show her to her New room" Thomas suddenly said when he saw me rooted to the spot.

The guards pulled me up straight and started moving to the room where I woke up today morning. They put me down on the edge of the bed and left closing the door behind them. A fter a few minutes I heard a loud thud knowing full well it was the double door which was now closed shut. I was trapped now. What am I going to do. This beautiful place now feels like a dungeon, suffocating me. I just want to go home.

I kept crying the entire time, praying and pleading to whoever is up there in the heaven to help me. I lied on the floor near the bed, curled up in a ball completely tired and exhausted. In matter of hours my like took a 360 degree turn.

I went to aperture I never wanted to go to, got drunk, almost got raped and then was saved by my very Kidnapper. I don't understand why I have been kidnapped I don't have money neither does it looks like he wants any. Who is he Thomas said something about the Master. Is this Master some ugly old man, who just wants to use me as a prize.

All kinds of thought kept coming but I think I was too exhausted from all the crying because the next thing I know I was woken up by someone shaking my shoulders. It was Gloria "Madam I brought you food, you haven't eaten since the morning and it's almost six now". I sat up and looked around and surely it was dark outside. I slept for almost four hours, I looked up at her and she was staring at me with pity.

"I am not hungry, thank you". Then a thought came to me can she help me to get out of here, she can sure open the double doors. "Gloria will you please help me to get out of here, I really need to go home. I pleaded with her". I saw her face turn into one of those pain ones.

"I am sorry madam I want to but I can't. Master will punish me I really can't loose my job, I need the money. I am really sorry". She said the last word very quietly and then turned around and left. I kept staring at her back and then at the plate she had kept in front of me. It had salad and soup with some bread. It looked delicious but I was not hungry at all. I slid the plate aside and went into the washroom.

I looked at myself and I was a complete mess with red, swollen eyes, tear stains running down my cheek and my hair was like a bundle flowing in all directions. I washed my face and tried to pull out the knots in my hair. I splashed some more water on my face and stared at myself in the mirror. What am I doing crying like this, I can't do this. I need to get out of here, I need to be strong for my own sake. I can't loose hope I never do I fight even when my father died leaving me all alone I fought. I will fight again for my freedom. I gave myself strength and now I was determined to face whatever is in store for me.

I went out of the washroom took the plate and started eating I am not going to starve myself to death. After that I started looking around to find something anything that would help me. I looked out of the window which was three storieys high and saw vast areas of greenery in front of me, there was no trace of city or a road leading to it. For how many hours did we drive last night? I breathed out loud and sat on the bed disheartened not knowing what to do i felt hopeless I needed to distract myself. I looked around the room and saw the TV, I switched it on watching sponge bob. New plans of escape forming in my mind every now and then.

The night came by quickly after that and no one came to call or talk to me. Sleep took me over again and I drifted off quickly. Next morning it was roughly woken up by Thomas. "What?" I shouted. He frowned at me but replied anyways.

"Get up and get ready fast Master wants to see you at breakfast table in half an hour". With this he left without another word.

Master, okay so the time has come to see who this so called 'Madter' is and what does he want. With determination and positivity I got up to get ready to face His Highness cruel, arrogant bastard.
