FLOWER

Chapter Twelve

After two solid weeks of staying at home, Cleopatra felt she had had enough,she was either going out or staying in and going crazy,she chose the former.
She didn't know why but she decided to put some makeup on,she even put on her best cloth.

"You look so beautiful Madam". Her side kick and personal maid Maria gushed over her Madam.

Cleopatra curtsied to Maria and Maria laughed,her Madam had really started warming up to her.

"Where shall we go today". Maria asked even though she knew what her madam would say.

"The Meadow". Cleopatra said as they tiptoed out of the house and into the streets.

They walked around the meadow,looking and sniffing flowers,the only ones that caught Cleopatra's eyes were the roses,there was something about the roses that made her smile.
They looked at birds of all sizes and shapes and thankfully there was no wild cats or wolfs just bunnies with adorable claws.

"Madam is there someone you are looking for here". Maria asked when she noticed Cleopatra constantly looking side ways.

"No". Cleopatra lied,she knew she wore the makeup and clothes for Theodore but she wondered why,she was disappointed though because all through the time they were there and even when they decided to go Theodore never showed up and she felt a twig of hurt,she didn't even know why.

"Let's go somewhere else". Maria said as she noticed the sad look on her madam's face.

"Where". Cleopatra asked curiously.

"I'll show you". Maria said as she took her madam's hands in her own and they set off on their amazing adventure.

For the first time ever, Cleopatra saw a mime,she was terrified of mimes,so was she of clowns,and of merry go rounds,she was terrified of everything while Maria just laughed.
She loved her Madam and she felt happy being with her.

After they had finished they decided to head home,it was really late when they got home but Cleopatra couldn't stop smiling,she saw the world in a new light and she loved it,she hated that she was going back to the torture house,she couldn't do it.

"Maria". Cleopatra called as Maria as she turned around,Cleopatra hugged her so tight and Maria squealed.

"Thank you Maria for everything". Cleopatra said as she curtsied and walked up the stairs to her room.

She opened the door with slowly and put down her jewelry and her shoes,she was still a little hurt that Theodore didn't come around. .But at least Maria had made her day and she wished it never end.

"You're home early". Cleopatra jumped at the voice, she closed her eyes and prayed it wasn't the person she thought it was,she slowly turned around and all her world came crumbling down when she saw Aaron sited on her rocking chair and staring at her angrily.

"A....A....Aaron". She stammered, she had never been this scared in her life, her heart kept beating fast, she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her at that point,anything to make this horror go away.

"Where have you been love".Aaron said slowly,he didn't want to pounce on her just yet.

"A...A...Aaron am sorry". Cleopatra whispered, her heart kept pounding in her ears,and she felt like suffocating.

"That's not the answer to my question". Aaron said as he rised from the chair like a poisonous snake,taking his darn time.

"I....I am sorry". Cleopatra said and this made Aaron slap her hard on the cheek,she pressed her palm against her cheeks to stop the stinging sensation.

"Where have you been,answer me". Aaron yelled at the top of his voice, and there she knew she was doomed.

"I wouldn't do it again,I promise". She begged as her hands started shaking.

Aaron lost all his patience and punched her stomach,she yelped in pain, he pushed her to the ground and held her by her hair.

"How many times did I tell you,don't go out". He said with rage.

"Who were you with". Aaron asked impatiently.

"No one". Cleopatra said as she shaked her head.

"You were with a man weren't you". He spoke with certainty.

"No I promise". And that made Aaron  mad,he made her stand up and kicked her down again,then he used his boots and kicked any side he could find,he made her stand up again and wrapped his hands around her neck,she struggled for breath as she tried to scratch his hand away.
He banged her head to the wall repeatedly until her eyes became dizzy,she felt like her brain would pop out any minute now,he let go of her as she slumped to the ground,then he brought out his belt,and accidentally he whipped her across the eyes as she screamed in pain,then he whipped her thighs until they bled,blood oozed all over her body as she collapsed.

When she woke up,her vision was blurry,she couldn't feel her legs or her thighs,her cheeks were purple and her back ached from all the kicking.

"Its a good thing you're awake,i wasn't quite finished with my lesson".Aaron said as he ordered her to sit up,he wasted time in his closet searching for something until he emerged with the object,Cleopatra's mind went dead when she saw the object he was holding,it was a knife, a very sharp knife.

"Don't be too scared,I'll only make this as painful as hell".Aaron said as he neared her but with a lot of strength she backed away,he held her wrists and drew her closer,he made sure she was lying flat before he started his master piece.
He used the knife to trace her bare back gently as she quivered and with little energy he slashed the knife on her back . Soon blood gushed out of her skin but he wasn't quite done yet,he continued damaging her skin until there nothing to see but blood,then he left her to suffer the pain for a little while,because he knew he'd be back.
