Reign

Chapter 17

What is going on?

I back away as the guards come in, they all look so scary

There's one with big, muscular arms and a hard face, he had black, shiny hair

Then there was one with red hair, and a red beard, equally as big as the man with black hair

I look at Theo, who looked emotionless

"Theo please!" I scream at him

I hit the guards, trying to get away from them

Tears stream down my face. Am I going to die? What is Theo going to do to me? I should have just said sorry about this morning, instead of yelling at him and calling me mad. But is he mad? 

My father comes to my mind, what is he doing right now? Is he happy with me gone? Does he still love me? Would he care if I died? Of course he would Yasmine, he's your father

The guard with black hair picks me up and shoves me over his shoulder

I pound on his back, he proably couldn't feel it, since he was dressed in armour

"Theo tell them to stop!" I scream at him

I kick and I push but the kept walking

When he went down the long flight of stairs, into the dark dungeon, that's when I really started to panic

Tears were now freely running down my face as I pound on his back one more time

"Theo help me!" I scream again

"Someone help me!" I plead, but no one would come

"What is going on?!" I hear Kenna's voice from upstairs

"Kenna help me!" I scream from downstairs

I hear a lot of yelling and loud noises from upstairs

He finally puts me down and I look around

I'm in a cell with black brick walls and black floors that were made from cement

In the corner was a bed made of concrete and there was a small window

You've got to be kidding...

I look at the guard who brought me down 

He looks at me, and I can tell he feels sorry for me

Just then Theo comes in with the guard with the red hair

"Leave us." Theo commands

They both obey and shut the door behind them

When the door shuts I flinch, I'm so frightened

I look at Theo, who was already looking at me, with a hard look on his face

He stares at me for a few moments, making me feel very uncomfortable

"What do you want from me?" I ask, it comes out more of a whisper

"Apologize for your behavior." He demands 

"Apologize? For what? I've done nothing wrong." I say

"You've spoken down to me, Yasmine. That's a punishable offence."

I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest

"Tell me you're sorry." He presses

I stay quiet

"Very well, take off your dress." He tells me

My heart almost stops beating. What on earth?

"Do as your told." He whsipers, in his deadly voice

I shake my head and back away

He walks up to me and grabs me by the waist

"I gave you a chance, my love." 

I start to shake as he undoes the lace on the back of my dress

"Theo p-please stop." I try to push at his chest, but he's too close to me

I'm sobbing now as I try to move away but he works too fast and my dress falls to my feet

I cover my breasts with my hands  and look down

He pries my hands away and kisses my earlobe

He then turns around, then turns back around to me 

What I see in his hands makes me gasp and cover my mouth with my hands

It was a large, thick, black whip

"Turn around." He orders

"Help me!" I scream 

There's nowhere to go so I just stand there in horror as he approaches me

He turns me around so I'm facing the wall

"Everytime I hit you,you will tell me that you're sorry and that you love me."

I nod and take a deep breath

I hear the whip make a swoosh sound before it makes contact with my back

The pain is unbearable, it stings and burns me. But what hurts most of all is the man I love is doing this to me.

I cry out and say "I'm sorry, I love you."

He hits me about five more times until he drops the whip to the ground

I'm breathing heavily when he turns me around and pushes me into his hard chest

Tears stream down my face 

He looks down at me

"Have you learned your lesson my love?"
