Eat this, my love. He said, putting the seed into my mouth. I involuntarily bite down into it and the flavor burst into my mouth. The sweet and sour fruit was on my tongue, making me want more. Since when did pomegranate become so delicious? My eyes widened from realizing what I had done. I have just eaten something from him!
I shook my head, not being able to speak. The chains on my wrists and ankles clanged onto each other as I moved violently. I need to get out of here. I opened my mouth, but no sound seemed to come out. I stared appalled at what he did to me. He smiled brightly, his pearly whites gleaming in the dim candle lit room.
He placed a finger on my lips to stop me from trying to talk... but I can't. I want to shout and scream at the top of my lungs- but I can't.
'You will be here with me, by my side, my princess.' This were the last words he said before I was put into deep, deep slumber.
