Rose's POV

As soon as she left, he closed the door behind him and the room fell into darkness. It wasn't until now that I realized there weren't any windows in here. Fear filled me as I stayed completely still.

There were no sounds of him coming anywhere near me, so when a hand suddenly pushed me forward making me fall to the floor with a loud thud, it was more than a surprise as I cried out in a mix of shock and pain.

"Stupid, weak human, so fragile." I stumbled to my feet, but as before, I was pushed back down again. "I didn't give you permission to get up girl, stay on the floor!"

"Don't tell me what to do, you giant freak! Who the fuck do you think you are? Pushing me around!" I screamed at him.

There was silence again, it was so unnerving.

Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist and crushed it in his hand, the pain was too much and I screamed out so loudly, but he didn't stop.

"PLEASE, STOP! THAT HURTS, STOP!"

"You will show me respect!" He growled through gritted teeth, squeezing it harder, making me scream more. I can honestly say, I've never been in so much pain.

"YES FINE, LET ME GO!"

"You will address me correctly!" I couldn't think, what did he mean!? I just wanted him to stop, I couldn't handle this.

Call him Master stupid!

"MASTER PLEASE STOP! I BEG YOU, PLEASE!" And he did. The second the words left my mouth, I regretted them. I had just made a complete fool of myself, but he stopped, and that's what I wanted.

I curled up in a ball on the floor, not even realizing until the water ran down to my ear that I was crying . . . CRYING? I have never felt so pathetic in my life!

Cradling my wrist in my other hand, it hurt to touch it. There was no doubt it was broken.

"From now on, you will do as I say. Now, get dressed in the correct uniform." He threw something at me that felt like clothes, but they were rough and felt horrible. "And get to work!"

I didn't move, I just stayed on the floor, crying quietly.

"Did you not hear me?" Before I could even take another breath, I was pushed back with him on top of me. I was so glad that we were still in complete darkness, I'd feel even more humiliated if he could see just what affect he had on me. He made me feel so unimportant and weak . . . to him I was weak . . . but I didn't want him to know he made me feel like that.

"M-my wrist is broken." I spoke out, my voice uneven, making it clear I was scared and in pain.

I heard him sigh angrily, but he didn't move from his position on top of me.

"See, nothing but a stupid weak bag of bones."

"Then why did you kidnap me if you think so little of me . . . of humans?" I whimpered. He didn't reply, he just let out a huff and took my wrist. I tried to resist, but it just hurt too much. "Please, don't hurt me again." I begged.

"I'm not going to hurt you human, just shut up." I obeyed . . . ah, obeyed? What a horrible demeaning word!

Lifting my wrist up, making me hiss out in pain every now and then. He kissed it, at first I was a little confused as to what he was doing. Then I realized.

He kissed it again before he sunk his teeth into my skin. He was biting me! It hurt, but not too badly.

There was a sore aching pain, like after you write too much and you get a cramp in your hand and wrist . . . it was similar to that.

Pulling his teeth back out, he started moving my hand around, and surprisingly the pain had gone!!

"You see human, I have the power to hurt you and cause all sorts of pain that you could never imagine in your worst nightmare . . . and then I can take the pain away." Shifting off me, he stood and pulled me up roughly. "What do you say?"

I thought about it for a minute.

Thank him.

"Thank you." I whispered. Not wanting to. It was his fault I was in pain to start with, why the fuck should I thank him for taking it away again?

"You're welcome Slave, now get changed and get to work."

And with that the light came on, almost blinding me. I wasn't used to the brightness of the lightbulb. And he was gone.

Looking down at my feet, the clothes that he had just thrown at me were still scattered around on the floor. Bending down to pick them up, I scoffed.

As if I'm gonna wear this!

Alexander won't be happy if you disobey him.

I don't know where these little voices in my head were coming from, but they were wrong. I don't care if "Alexander" isn't happy. The girl was right, he is nasty.

Throwing the uniform down on the tiny bed, I opened the door and looked out. The corridor was completely empty. Stepping out and quietly closing the door behind me, the smell of wood and polish hit me like a wrecking ball.

Creeping through the house I desperately tried to find my way out of this place, but every way I turned it just seemed to take me into another much larger part of the house. House wasn't even the word of where I was . . . mansion was even an understatement for it!

"Please Frankie, I have to get back to work." I heard someone. I quickly stopped dead, not knowing where the voice was coming from, I didn't want to get caught!

"Just explain it to me . . . why is Alex so interested in you suddenly?" Peeking around the corner, I saw the girl from before, Cinders, I think with a man. He definitely wasn't a "Slave" or whatever they call humans here. He was dressed . . . well . . . nothing special, but compared to her clothes, he looked like a million bucks!

He wore just a simple leather jacket that covered a grey shirt and black skinny jeans with sneakers.

"I don't know, I'm sorry." She looked down, away from his gaze, but he lifted her chin up and smiled sweetly at her.

"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault." He sighed. "Go run along before Alex realizes you're not working." Leaning forward, he quickly put a small kiss on her lips and walked away. She giggled happily and headed in the other direction.

Once the coast was clear, I moved around the corner and ran, ran as fast as I could manage! I didn't know where I was going, but I wasn't going to stay here!

"Rose?" Hearing my name I froze. No one here knows my name. I haven't told anyone my name, but the voice sounded familiar. "Rose!?" Spinning around quickly, I stood mouth open, shocked at the little girl from the train! "Do you remember me? I'm Parker, do you remember?"

"I remember . . . what are you doing here!?" I scolded. This was NO PLACE for anyone, let alone a little child. She smiled at me and ran over with open arms. Like a mother instinct kicked in, I opened my arms and lifted her up, hugging her tight.

"Did Alexander hurt you?" How did she know of him? I set her back down and got on my knees.

"You know him?" She nodded. "How?"

"He's my big brother." I went cold inside. So that's how he found me . . . but . . . why? What had I done wrong?

"Why am I here Parker?" She looked down sadly.

"it's my fault, I'm sorry . . . has he hurt you?" I didn't want her to to worry, so I LIED.

"No, he hasn't." She let out a relieved sigh.

"Parker?" She gasped and looked over my shoulder, but sighed once more, relieved.

"Fang, come." She ordered. I stayed, completely frozen in place with my eyes on the floor. I heard footsteps approach me and stop.

"Is this the human?" Oh great, another asshole who thinks nothing of me or humans. "Actually you're wrong Rose, I love humans. I don't believe in hurting them." I was shocked and looked up at him. He heard my thoughts. Smiling sweetly, he held his hand out to me.

"Fang won't harm you." Parker whispered.

Shaking I took his hand and he lifted me to my feet. It was the same guy I had just seen with Cinders.

"Parker, run along, I'll see that she is fine."

"Okay." Wrapping her arms around me once more, she hugged me before she bounced off down the corridor, not once looking back.

"If Alex finds you wandering around you'll be in big trouble!" He sounded, almost worried, about what? Me? "Where are you supposed to be?" I shrugged. Sighing, he looked around at his surroundings. "I'll take you to Cinders."

Still holding my hand in his, Fang took me into a large room. It was massive! In the middle was a large four-post bed, with a blood red canopy, and black and red silk sheets. Bookcases lined the walls, and a big fireplace sat in the corner, in front of it was a large very cozy looking sofa. There was a few doors in the room, I'm guessing they led to a bathroom and closets or something. On the far wall were huge glass double doors that looked out into the gardens below.

I didn't realize how high up we were until I looked at the view!

"Cinders?" Fang called out. Within seconds, she appeared smiling happily.

"Yes?"

"Can you look after little Rose and show her what to do, she will be helping with the cleaning today." He told her. Still smiling, she nodded.

"Okay, hey again." She gave me a little wave, I returned it and walked over to her.

"Good girl." With giving her nothing more than a sexy grin a wink, both of which I don't think I was supposed to see, he was gone.
