hiding

I kissed a girl...

The first thing that Alexia was aware of was the throbbing in her head. She opened her eyes to find herself nearly blinded by light. The room was grand, every surface was covered in marble, silver and gold. Large portraits hung on the walls throughout the room. Alexia had no doubt she was in the mansion she had been told about. She became aware that she was currently on her knees, her feet chained to the floor. Her arms were chained slightly above her head and behind her back; to the cold marble wall.

Looking to her left, she noticed Misu was unconscious and chained in the same way. The cold air brushed against her skin, making her very aware of the lack of clothing either possessed. They had both been stripped down to their bras and panties. For that alone, Alexia would make sure someone's head would roll.

"Misu, Misu wake up!" Alexia hissed, failing at attempting to make contact with her knee.

"Just five more minutes." Misu mumbled.

"Misu snap out of it. We're going to fucking die!"

"Die? What what? Alexia?" Misu's eyes shot open immediately, "Oh god we are going to die!"

"Okay I was exaggerating there, but seriously I just needed you to wake up." Alexia rolled her eyes.

"No we're going to die! You don't understand." Misu cried, "This is where they would take prisoners to execute them during Cornhasting's parties.

"Huh, well that kind of sucks. I guarantee my brothers will come rescue us if I can't manage to get us out in time." Alexia wasn't sure if she was trying to reassure Misu or herself at this point.

Before Misu could respond, a scratchy cackling could be heard as the large doors closest to them burst opens. Cornhastings himself walked in the room as he strode towards them, followed by the monocle donning man that had accompanied him earlier. Corhastings no longer wore his powdered wig, revealing balding grey hair.

"Oh how sweet of you to think your crew would come and rescue you. One foolish girl?" He sneered at the two, "They don't even know where you are."

"No one messes with a Whitebeard and gets away with it." Alexia smirked at him, "They'll come, and you'll be dead. But not before we make sure you suffer miserably."

Pain shot through her face as he smacked her roughly with an open hand. Misu cried out in fear.

"Watch your mouth bitch." Cornhastings glared at her, "Continue like this and you'll be dead before the party. It would be such a shame for my friends to be promised such entertainment and then I fail to follow through."

"You call murder entertainment? People are killed every day, it's nothing." Alexia sounded bored at the notion.

"Oh but you see, this is more than just an execution my dear!" He clasped his hands together and grinned in excitement, "This is all class entertainment! The food, the drinks, and of course what gracious host would fail to provide women to please his fellow guests? And since your slated for the main entertainment anyways, your perfect all the way around! This way they can really treat you like the lowly whores you are."

"Sexually assaulting chained women? That's just like hunting a caged animal."

"Ahhh but you will find that they fight just the same, just as you both will tonight." The man next to Cornhastings laughed darkley, "Do us a favor and scream during the action, it makes things much more exciting for our guests."

"Who's this? Your sidepiece?" Alexia sneered back at them, "That explains why you have such a stick up your ass."

"Darin, bring her to my quarters. This bitch needs to learn how to keep her mouth shut." Cornhasting's face was beat red with anger. The man next to him; Darin, moved to unlock her from the chains.

Alexia waited, trying to think of a way to contact Pops and the others, as he undid the locks. If anything, she knew she had to get Misu out of the way. She wouldn't be able to fight or withstand much torture for long. As soon as all the locks were undone, she made her move. She rammed her head into Darin's abdomen, making sure she hit the hand the held the key with the full force of her body. As expected he let go of the key as he shouted in surprise. She quickly shoved the key into her mouth, without either man noticing. Alexia knew she couldn't pass the key to Misu in a way that would raise suspicion and cringed slightly at the only thought that came to mind. Darin was moving towards her and fast, leaving her little time to act. It seemed he hadn't noticed he had let go of the key, too distracted by her actions.

Alexia lunged forward and wrapped her arms around Misu's shoulders before whispering in her ear quickly before the men could hear her.

"Find Commander Marco, find my crew and bring them here." Alexia hoped her words didn't sound too garbled with the key being in her mouth. She then forced her lips onto Misu's, making it appear as though she was kissing her. Misu's eyes widened in confusion and shock, but she quickly understood as she felt the key being forced into her own mouth by Alexia's tongue.

Both men stopped for a moment, looking extremely confused. Cornhastings found his resolve first, grasping the back of her head by her hair and yanking her backwards. Alexia cried out as her head struck the steps to the small stage they were upon.

"As much as I'd like to see where this could go, I have other things I need to attend to whore. And you have some manners to learn." Darin grabbed her by the wrist, twisting it harshly as he began to drag her with them.

Misu's eyes remained wide as she stared at Alexia, confused on why she would help her escape when she barely new her. Alexia didn't fight as she was drug out of the room, hoping that the men would be to distract with her to notice Misu escaping. She only hoped Misu would attempt to find help.
