I felt a heavy weight in my chest, There was nothing but darkness surrounding me.
"Filthy sinner, disgraceful, sinner, sinner, sinner! SINNER!"

I shot up quickly from my blankets in a sweat. I could feel my racing heartbeat echo through my hollow ribs all the way to my toes. I realised my just noticed grip on my sheets and blankets as I wiped the sweat that was dripping from my skin. I pulled the sheets off of me and I noticed a strange black symbol on my calf. I touched it and it looked like a 2 in aincent Roman numerals, I wasnt the best at telling. I tried rubbing it off and it wouldnt budge so I got the idea to shower and clear my thoughts and figure out what to do with this. As I placed my feet on my cold mahogany floor my legs became almost numb. I felt, Sluggish. Something was pulling me to just stay in bed, It was hard not too with my money situation. I got cocky and ended up blowing it all at a casino, That's when a 1 appeared at the back of my leg. Yesterday I couldn't find the motivation to leave my bed due to the lack of motivation, Now a 2 appeared on my leg. Was it counting days or something else? My feet dragged across the floor to my bathroom, It was even colder than outside. I wasn't able to get the heater in the bathroom fixed at all. I turned the water on and as I waited I examined myself in the mirror, I crave to be one of the pretty girls, One that has any man around their finger, One that can have anything. The shower was like mini balls of lava, My body was cold and the sudden change of temperature was startling. I sat there and after shower I managed to feel better. I walked out into my bedroom with a towel rapped around my body, I put on my cutest clothes and brushed my hair out in front of my mirror on the wall. I lowered my hand and looked in the mirror, I noticed something.. Strange. I went to touch the mirror subconsciously and it shattered at the touch of my finger tip. I jumped back startled by the sudden glass that was thrown at me, That's when I noticed. The 2 some how managed to turn into a 4. I panicked and felt overwhelmed, I ran out of my house without a second thought. I walked aimlessly for hours down roads, I got cat whistled by strangers and glares from women walking by men staring at me. I kept my head down and just kept walking. I ended up at a bar, I sat down at a table far from other people but I still got stares. I ordered food, It was the only thing I could think of. I managed to find 40$ in my pocket and that was all I had so I spent it, I spent it all. I ate. And ate. Stress eating was bad but it was a blur. I got a few alcoholic beverages along with it, I was slightly lightheaded. After I finished I sat there with my head on the table. I couldn't get the motivation to go back to that broken home, Maybe I could contact mom? No that was impossible she would force me to marry that disgusting Canadian pervert. I sat there for a good soid 45 minutes battling with myself over the thought of contacting my mother when a man slit into the seat from across from me,
"Is this seat taken?"
I raised my head to look at him, He was handsome but had a particular eerie feel to him,
"N-No, Not at all."
"The name is Levi, You?"
"Ophelia"
He smirked, He reached in his pocket and slammed something on the table but not loud enough to alert other customers. When he raised his a pile of cash was sitting there,
"Accompany me tonight and there is more than that."
I looked at him, I clearly didnt believe it. He smirked and reached to his side, I didnt notice but he had a brief case next to him and he raised it to the table. He clicked it open and turned it to me, Cash.
"I can give you 2 of these for one night, what ya say?"
He smirked and looked me up and down.

I woke up and had a pounding headache, I barely remember last night. I sat up and looked around and then all my memories it me like a sudden bullet, I felt stupid. The sex was amazing but I turned down the cash like an idiot, He was alluring after we started talking for a bit more. I layed back down on my side and stared at the window with velvet curtains that where pulled back. The curtains match the velvet bed with gold trim. I had to come up with something, anything.
