To Be a Star in The Play

Soon everyone came back after Erebus sent the notice that I had returned. Within a few days the students, the teachers and Johanna came walking to the house of night, which now was called the castle of night. Erebus constantly kept me in his bedroom he would let me out for during classes and then I had to stay in his room the rest of the time and he would come and visit me when classes were over. I decided to stay after in dance class so that I could get some space from Erebus. I was practicing my steps when professor Tyrell came up to me. "You're doing well considering everything you've been through recently I was wondering if you wouldn't mind being the star of the play I have coming up." I stopped practicing and looked up at him with a smile. "I appreciate the offer but you'll have to ask permission from Erebus because he's in charge of me now that he rules this place." He seemed disappointed by my answer and Erebus walked in looking very upset that I was talking to Tyrell. "Scarlett why did you stay after?" He said looking at me as he stopped in front of me and pushed Tyrell aside. "I wanted to get in some practice and professor Tyrell just asked me if I wanted to be part of his play." He then turned and looked at Tyrell and he became very serious and possessive of me pulling me towards him so that he was holding me in front of him. "Sorry professor but Scarlett belongs to me I am not into the idea of her doing anything with anyone except me." He then turned me around facing him. "Go to our bedroom I'll be there shortly." I started to leave when I got out the door I quietly listened in. "Sir I swear I wasn't trying to steal her from you I just don't think her talent should be locked up, I simply feel that she deserves to be able to what she wants she's not an animal that you can keep caged up."
