His Girl

chapter 4

Harper

He was so much scarier now. Before in the car and at the mall he seemed ok but after waking up he was 10x scarier. Maybe because I slept when I wasnt suppose too. I knew deep down that wasnt the reason, the true reason was he was hiding his true nature in public to avoid any problems.
He led me out of the room. Was he going to send me to the basement and torture me.
I broke a rule, their is no chance he will just let it go.
After he told me the rules I go and break them,  I am so stupid.
I was never allowed to talk back there,  if I spoke I would get punished. The only time i was allowed to speak was when they made me beg them not to punish me. After a while i stopped begging and the punishments increased.
He led me upstairs and I could feel my heart accelerate. He wouldnt. Calm down Harper, he wont do that.
"Careful you may just break another rule" he says
What rule. I'm sure I've been careful.
Only when a single tear rolls down my cheek do I realize. He doesn't accept crying. I'm screwed. I quickly wipe it away before he sees. Or at least I attempt to wipe it. He sees and for some reason he doesn't look angry.
"Why are you crying" he calmly asks
Why was I crying? It's not like hes done anything to me apart from scare me.
"I'm sorry sir. It wont happen again" I tell him not trusting my voice to speak anymore.
"That's not what I asked Harper" he says as we continue to walk down a corridor.
"I'm scared sir" I tell him, my voice barely audible.
"Of what, I'm not going to hurt you"
Why not. That's 2 rules I broke. I'm not complaining but it just seems suspicious how he isnt going to punish me. Any other person would jump at the opportunity.
"Back there with the nodding and now I sorta cried. I dont understand, I broke two rules sir" I say.
"Yes you have. Back there I gave you a warning didnt I"
"Yes sir"
I truly am confused right now. I dont understand him.
"A warning is a warning Harper. It does not result in a punishment. As for now, I'm gonna let it slide because something is clearly bothering you and besides it was just a single tear." He explained.
"Ok sir"
"You dont have to address me every time you speak to me, it's getting annoying. Once at the beginning and once at the end of a conversation is enough" he says
"Sorry sir"
He rolls his eyes and points towards a door "that's your room, if you need anything ask a guard. I'm going out now but dont even think about escaping. Tommorow I want breakfast by 7am, then you can start on laundry" he instructed then turned and left.
I was left stood in the middle of the hallway and so with no other options I went into the room he had pointed out.
The room was amazing. I had to walk out and check if this was the room he pointed to. It was spacious and bright, a double bed maybe even bigger lay in the middle of the room. Built in wardrobe and a set of drawers were against the wall. A window seat was present which at  a closer look allowed me to look out onto what appeared to be a beach. It was beutiful
