The Devil's Girl

VII

I was jolted awake by the feeling of being slapped on the arm.

"Wake the hell up," a voice said to me.

As I began to open my eyes, I was met with the brightness of the sun in my eyes. Oh my god, Adrian and I fell asleep last night on the grass. I was for sure dead.

Adrian was grabbed by another guard and began to yell and thrash around in the guard's grasp, he wasn't going quietly.

I quickly stood up and the guard who awakened me from my slumber grabbed a hold of my arm and began dragging me back to the house. There was no way I could outpower him, so I just followed his lead.

"You're not allowed to be out all night, you should know this. I am taking you to the cellar and Donte can deal with you from there," the guard muttered and hurried up his pace.

His hands gripped onto me harder and I knew that tomorrow I would have bruises up and down my arms. The guard didn't care, no one in this god-awful place cared. I was beyond afraid of what Donte would do to me when he finds out what happened.

He has warned me before to stay away from Adrian, I wonder what he will do when he finds out that we were found sleeping together. Everything last night was innocent of course, Adrian and I continued watching the stars for a while longer and we must have fallen asleep.

The fact that it was innocent was not going to matter to Donte though. An icy chill ran through my spine as I thought once again about what he did to Pauly. If he could kill him, he could kill me. The thought made me sick to my stomach to not know what Donte was capable of.

Once we made it to the cellar the guard tossed me onto the ground. I cried out as I fell on my hands and knees, scrapes forming on both from my fall. The guard walked over to me and placed the shackles from the wall onto my wrists, sealing me to the fate of feeling like a prisoner.

The nerves I felt waiting for Donte ate me alive inside. I knew he was going to come to deal with me, I just didn't know when. The anticipation built up and I began to tap my foot while sitting on the ground.

I'm not sure how long it took for Donte to come in, all I know was my back was aching from the cold, hard, tile on the ground. After what felt like hours, the door to the cellar was unlocked and I knew it would be Donte walking through that door.

The devil himself walked in, looking as good as ever. I gulped while taking in his appearance. His hair was slicked back, and he was wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. I could see his sleeves of ink on his arms and his black dress pants fit him just right that it made my mouth water.

It was an impossibility that I could both be extremely fearful and at the same time be extremely attracted to this man. It was almost like I subconsciously got myself in trouble so I could see him since I typically only saw him when I was in some sort of dilemma.

I didn't forget how he treated me that night in his office but a small part of me didn't care. A small part of me just wanted to ignore it and have him do devilishly naughty things to me.

"Liz, Liz, Liz... what am I going to do with you." Donte taunted and began to step closer towards me. He got so close I had to crane my neck up to look at him because I was on the ground.

He grabbed my chin in his hand and for a split second I thought he was going to let me go, that is until he began to manically laugh.

"You and Adrian watching the night sky as lovers, how cute. How many times do I need to warn you, Liz, that you are not to see that boy?" Donte asked and I tried looking away, but he held my chin firmly in place. The feeling of his hands on my skin was incredible and a small part of me never wanted it to end.

"Well, Donte I guess you can't control who I decide to hang out with," I was done with Donte and his controlling my life.

"Really huh, I can't tell you what to do?" Donte gave me that manic laugh again and took a step back from me.

"I thought I told you to unbutton your dress Elizabeth," Donte said.

Before I had time to respond, he grabbed his knife and sliced through the front of my dress. I began to panic as he narrowly missed my skin with the blade. My breathing wavered and I could not believe what just happened.

"Oops," Donte smirked, taking in the view of my half naked body. He had ripped the dress and could see my bra and underwear. I wasn't beautiful and began to feel very self-conscious. The way his eyes were looking at my body made me even more nervous. He looked like he wanted to devour me whole. The next thing I knew his blade slammed into the wall right beside me and I jumped.

"Consider that your final warning Elizabeth. Next time you will be punished." Donte threatened and walked out of the cellar leaving me alone with the thought of what the hell just happened.
