Master Prince

I'm Sorry (14)

You ran up to Jacob's room and shut the door behind you. He turns around and looks at you as a look of rage come across your face.

"You can't let Tori be punished! She is innocent, and you know it!" You yell.

"Alexis, I have no time for you..." Jacob says in a calm tone.

"Not for me! For Tori! You've gone mad! You have no right punishing an innocent woman!" You continued.

"Alexis! This is none of your business!" He yells. "You go back down and do your work!"

"You're so mad! Nya has made you a monster! You don't deserve to be-"

A hand strikes your face. Jacob gives you a blank stare as you hold your face and looks down.

"Now, go back down stairs and work." Jacob says turning back around.

"Yes, master..." You say in a low tone before leaving the room.

You walk down there and go into the bathroom to throw up. When you leave Nya was smiling.

"Seems like someone is getting sick..." She smiles.

You scoffed. "I'm fine, thank you."

"You know, this attitude is gonna go away. I am lady Nya now and you can be punished along with that other peasant." Nya says know a serious tone.

"You and I both know that you are not worth the ground I walk on! You are worth less than I am! You will never be worth anything!" You yelled. Your eyes were beginning to tear up.

"I will give off the illusion I am better than you. Because everything in this world is just an illusion. You can get anyone to believe anything with an illusion... People believe I am better than you. And I am." Nya says before walk off.

You quickly wiped your face and tried to settle down. Tori was getting punished in under 24 hours and you had to figure out how to do something. You cleaned and thought about everything you could do. You went down to the living late at night and stared out the window. Out in the front of the yard was a very small shack that had Tori in it.

"What are you doing up so late?" Jacob asked.

You jumped, but didn't bother to look at him. "I'm going back up to my room right now Master..." You turn to go back up but he gently grabbed your hand. You immediately pulled it away.

"Alexis, I just wanted to say I'm truly sorry for earlier. I have no idea why I would do such a thing." He says in a concerned tone.

You turned around and looked at him sharply. "I don't believe in apologies, Master. So, I'm sorry, but I will not accept. I am nothing more than a servant..." You say in a low tone. "I will go back now."

You turn around and go back up to your room. You took your second pill and laid down. You stared at the ceiling until the room got darker and you fell asleep.

You woke up the next day taking a pill and going to the bathroom to get ready. Since Tori was gone you had to clean and help cook.

"Maggie, hand me Nya's orange juice please." You say in a bland tone.

With no questions she handed you the orange juice and you spit in it. Maggie looks and giggles. You set the glass down and took Jacob's plates out to him. Maggie sat Nya's food and juice in front of her. The first thing Nya reached for was her drink and took a few gulps of it.

"How is the food?" Maggie asks.

"It could be better..." Nya says in a snooty tone.

"Please, this is probably the best meal you've ever had." You scoffed under your breath.

"In 9 hours we have to leave." Jacob says.

"Oh yes! You get to see your little friend Tori be punished. How exciting?" Nya clapped her hands.

"We have to watch?" Maggie asks.

"Well of course, maybe after seeing it Alexis will learn her place." Nya smiles eating some of her food.

"I know my place, lady Nya." You say in a strict tone. "I will be upstairs cleaning, if anyone needs me."

You put your hand on your stomach and could tell a baby bump has formed. You haven't told Jacob yet that you are pregnant with his child. You were beginning to wonder if you should tell him at all.

"Alexis, if I could see you?" The nurse asked.

You walked over to his office and he shut the door behind you and sat down in his chair.

"I've heard about Tori... What are you gonna do?" He asked.

"I have yet come up with anything. Maybe, I should just tell them it was me." You shrugged.

"What if they punish you? That could effect the baby. Have you told Jacob?" Nurse asked in a concerned tone.

"No, I have not...I don't think I can..." You say. "There's never a right time to tell him."

"It doesn't need to be the right time...As long as he knows." Nurse said in a serious tone.

"I know...I know." You say in a low tone.
