"No ! Stop ! Get away from me !"
"Do it Seth !" Linus encouraged him from the corner of the room.
"Please, you don't have to do this ! Seth please! Don't!" I cried out as I struggled to get free from my restraints but it was a lost cause. I wasn't going anywhere.
"Do it already dammit !" Linus yelled out frustrated -as I pinched my eyes shut -before Seth's lips connected with mine. They moved sloppy againts my tight kept lips as I tried to think about anything else while he kissed me.
He pulled back displaying a smile with a hint of amusement in his eyes , making me wish he had turned out to be the better version of himself. He was worse than Linus. And that in itself said a lot.
"Try kissing back next time. I'd like that more." He said before letting me go and walking out.
"What do you want ?" I said aggressive while I watched Linus stand up from his leaning position.
"You know , you should thank me really. "
"Is that so ? For what ?" I said while in a matter of seconds he was next to me , gripping my face tight between his hands as my eyes bounced between his.
"Just be glad I talked him down to a kiss." He said before letting me fall back. My helpless cries for help was what was heard next, filling the four walls that has held me captive ever since. I was a mess , and had reason to be. This was all my fault...
When they returned for the second time today , I was torn between whether or not I should be happy for being able to move freely or disgusted for them watching me shower.
"You can atleast have the decency to turn around." I said upset watching the bubbles in the water form a layer around me.
"That's true but since we don't trust you even in the slightest. This will have to do for now. " Linus said blandly.
"Plus , it brings me joy so." Seth added making me wonder how I ever could've seen him as the 'good guy' .
"You're pigs."
"Just shut up and clean yourself . " Seth said making himself comfortable .
"I've said it before and I'm going to say it again; you should really be thanking me for these compromises. " Linus said cocky while I so wish I could do something to defend myself , but unfortunately I was the one at a disadvantage here.
Biting my tongue I begrudgingly started washing myself -taking as long as I possibly could - until I've exceeded all of my limits.
"Here. We got you some new ones." Linus said , handing me fresh pink silk pj's .
"Thanks ." I said under my breath while I pulled the velvety material over my cold body. It felt nice, soft. But it didn't change the way I felt about the people who gifted me it.
"Looks nice. Dinners downstairs. Only if you agree not to pull one over on us." Seth said while I nod my head almost on instinct before following them downstairs. They must've taken some precautions since my arrival cause I wouldn't be able to run away even if I tried. The whole house looked like a prison yard with bars and gates, beams and lights at every possible exit. In a way , it looked like home.
I watched as they moved around the dining room while I siliently sat and observed everything. "Eat up." Seth said , placing a bowl of pasta infront of me before each taking a seat next to me. I watched as they started eating theirs first as Linus saw me staring and took a bite from mine.
"See. You're all good. Now eat." He said with a mouthful of food -very unattractive - as I lowered my fork down to the plate. The taste of bacon and cheese danced around on my tastebuds making me flashback to that one thanksgiving dinner where my mom made bacon and cheese sandwiches. It was a one time splurge on something fancy and I remember it like it was yesterday.
The clanging of their utensils colliding with their empty plates was what followed next as I slowly looked up from my plate watching them stare at me.
"This is what's going to happen next. " Linus started.
"You are to listen to every word for I promise you it's in your best interest. " Seth added as I took a sip from my juice before agreeing.
"You are to prepare our meals for us three times a day. Laundry and cleaning up around here is a given. And in exhange you are to stay here with us - in this beautiful city- and receive our love and affection. " I watched him dumbfounded as he finished-not knowing how to respond to someone basically making me their servant - as I placed my fork back down.
"Oh yeah . And no leaving of the house- not that we would give you the chance anyway - one of us will always be home to keep an eye on our number one girl." Seth said sickeningly while I watched them in utter disgust.
"Did you want to say something or...do you want to be excused?" There were a billion things I would've like to say to them but sadly none that would better my situation , I'm afraid it would only make it worse. So I shook my head and said ; "may I be excused ?" While I watched a smile spread across each of their faces .
"Yeah. Go on ahead. " Seth said , pulling my chair out for me while I walked back to 'my new room' full of shame and regret.
It's not the best but I tried to get my idea across as effectively as possible. Thank you so much for reading. Remember to leave your thoughts in the comment section below. Until next time keep howling my wolves ❤🐺
