《Deception (Book #1) ✅》~7: Unspoken Language~
Advertisement
Nora was waiting on the lounge chair scrolling through her phone. Seeing her on her phone was making me wish even more that I had mine. Noticing me she quickly tucked her phone in her jean jacket pocket.
"You're real short." She pointed out looking up and down at the outfit I had just put on. I looked down at the oversized jeans I was wearing. It was clearly too long a little too wide for my body. Looking back at her I soon pieced together that these must have been her clothes.
She stood up and headed to the bedroom door stopping when she realized that I wasn't following behind her.
I knew that beyond the threshold of the door was my only way out, but I was too paranoid to follow knowing I was safer here than where ever we were going to.
"Aren't you hungry? There's breakfast down stairs." She told me smiling and chuckling a little as my stomach grumbled once again.
"I don't want to go out there." I told her rubbing my arm keeping my gaze to the floor.
I didn't know what was out there. I didn't want to see my inevitable death. I was beginning to become drowned in dread as I knew I would have to follow her.
"Here," She approached me handing me a hair tie. She must have seen the disaster of a mess my hair was. I took the hair tie pulling back my hair in a pony tail a few short strands framed my face.
"We are both going down to get something to eat. That's all," She paused her brown eyes looking serious trying to convince me to believe her. "I promise."
I looked past her at the bedroom door that was wide up. There were a few clangs of dishes, we wouldn't be the only people down there and my chest tightened. I closed my eyes briefly as I followed Nora out of the room, opening just as I passed through the doorway.
The sun was higher in the sky now and it was lighting the place up with intricate rays of sun painted across the walls. The maroon walls were brighter than I first thought last night. The gold embroidery was ten times brighter now with the sun reflecting off of it.
As I moved my sights from the walls I came to look at a huge gold and crystal chandelier dangling over the wide staircase. Freckles of light danced on the maroon stairs from the glimmering crystals. Black marble pillars were on both sides of the staircase at the bottom. As we walked closer to the pillars I soon realized that gold was woven through the black marble complimenting it to the gold accents of the place.
We were at the bottom of the stairs, the clanging grew louder now. It was much clearer. My anticipation grew worse with ever step I took closer to the noise.
My eyes settled on the front door. The same door I was meant to escape through last night and failed.
"Don't think about it." Nora snapped turning around to catch my longing look at the door. She turned around and continued down a long hallways that ended into another room.
It was a dinning room with one long table in the middle. There had to have been at least 50 some chairs along the table. What was this place as it seemed to go on forever.

Nora continued through the room and swung open a flap door that lead into a kitchen. The smells that hit my nose was impeccable and delectable. My mouth watered with the mixture of aromas. My enjoyment left as quickly as it arrived as I began to notice the numerous pairs of eyes that honed in on me.
There were several other people in the kitchen, about five or six they were all older than I, all probably in there late 30's. Their faces were all similar showing a shock for my appearance. Did they know I was a missing girl?
Nora gave them a glance as each nodded as if they shared a conversation and left the kitchen. I looked between the leaving people and Nora astounded at what I just witnessed.
I wanted to ask her what had just happened but I felt it was best not to as to not give them a reason to harm me.
There was a small room I noticed in the back of the kitchen. The inside looked grand with expensive art pieces and expensive and old decor. The door tot he room was yanked shut how ever from someone inside it that I couldn't see.
Nora sat me on a stool in the kitchen leaving briefly to grab food from the small room I was looking at earlier. When Nora reappeared she was holding a tray of steaming food. The food was enough to catch my attention but what caught it even more was the glare that Nora was making at who ever was in the room.
She quickly changed her face and smiled at me waving her hand for me to follow her. I followed into the dining room sitting down on a chair beside her. Nora took the end of the table as I sat to her left. The kitchen door directly behind me.
"So," Nora began to talk smiling wide as she pulled the tray cover off the food. "I have omelets, bacon, honey ham, French toast and coffee. What would you like?"
I starred confused that she was indeed telling me the truth.
"I'll just have some coffee." I spoke quietly. I was trying to sound as submissive and passive as I could.
Nora grabbed a mug from the tray pouring coffee in it with a scoop of sugar and some creamer.
I took the mug bringing it slowly to my parched lips. The hot liquid made my body feel warm and more alert although that may have been from the caffeine.
I took half of one of the omelets onto a small plate taking small nibble bits between sips of coffee.
Nora said nothing as she ate with me looking periodically to her phone then back to her meal. There were a few times that she would stare off in the distance as if lost in thought, but would continue to eat and scroll through her phone.
As I ate I took in the room for. Everything in this room was a rule blue and silver. It was very different from the red of the place. It was a nice change from the bold maroon and gold.
I snapped my head up from my food nearly coughing on the omelet that I just about inhaled. There were a group of men, all tall, muscular, and intimidating. I swallowed terrified of the number of men that just walked into the room. Some where just throwing on T-shirts to cover their chiseled stomachs. Many were laughing and carrying on joking amongst themselves.

That was until they noticed Nora and I. They noticed Nora first giving her a look of respect and admiration, many of them though soon turned to me inhaling sharply many looking to one another sharing some unspoken language.
They sat towards the end of the table opposite of Nora and I. They were all starting at me at different times then looking at each other. I was growing more nervous and anxious as I sat there with them all gawking questioningly around me. I stared at Nora impatiently waiting for her to be done eating so we could leave already.
She caught my eye soon and she realized how uncomfortable I was. I was practically pleasing to leave. Noticing she looked sorry wiping her mouth and loading up all the dishes.
"Let me show you the garden room." Nora spoke getting up from the chair. I stood up soon after her only to stop mid way when the flap door opened sending me back to my seat. My heart almost stopped.
Caleb walked in wearing a T-shirt and sweat pants. I looked at his forearm and my eyes grew wide. Where was the stab wound? His forearm was perfectly polished with not a blemish in sight.
I raised my eyes up to his and his cold stare was emotionless. I thought he would at least want to kill me after stabbing him.
He looked over my head to the many men that sat behind me. I watched as his presence emit authority and dominance, I don't think he has shown anything other than those. Caleb looked to Nora looking disapprovingly and that's when Nora spoke up.
Rolled her eyes she told him. "I lost track of time." She sounded more annoyed then anything as she told Caleb. "I'm taking her now." She assured him grabbing my arm and pulling me behind her and past Caleb.
He took a deep breath as I passed making me quicken my steps behind Nora.
As we left the room we soon were going back up the stairs and that's when I yanked back my arm from her. I pulled free, Nora stopped surprised from my action.
"I thought we were going to the garden." I stated needing to find a different way out of here. The garden sounded perfect as there had to be a door to leave through.
Nora crossed her arms looking down at me from the first step of the staircase. "Unfortunately, I can't keep track of time and I made a mistake so I have to take you back to my brother's room." She explained.
Caleb was her brother. My stomach nearly fell through me as i looked at her in terror. I spent the morning eating breakfast with my kidnappers sister!
Nora watched my face as she realized how panicked I was growing.
"I'm not going up there." I told her my voice louder than it had been this whole time.
As quickly as I spoke Nora had jumped down pulling my arm behind my back and tapped my knee to step up the stairs.
"Yes, we are." She ordered pushing me u other stairs.
Once we reached his room she shoved me inside locking the door with us both in side. She moved close to me yanking the long sleeve on me tearing the material.
"What are you doing?!" I shouted jumping back.
"Strip and get in the shower. You'll thank me later." I looked at her inquisitively fear washed over my face as I shook my head back and forth. "Please...uh, shit what is your name?" She asked holding my arm tightly pulling the rest of the shirts fabric clean off my body. I wore nothing beneath it and was half naked now.
"I'm not telling you guys anything!" I screamed trying to yank my arm from her grip. She didn't budge and it seem effortless to her, it was superhuman.
"It doesn't matter now anyways." She groped my belt with her other hand and the pants fell. Now I was completely exposed. "Get in the shower please... I'm trying to make this easier for you." She begged this time and I swallowed hard hurrying to the bathroom.
I frantically grabbed a towel to cover up only for Nora to rip it away from me in one swift motion.
"Shower now!" This time she sounded less patient gripping my hair in one hand and pulling my head back. She sat me on the edge of the tub and turned the water on a scalding temperature as the water rose up my calves.
Tears started to trail down my face, I was utterly losing my mind. I was just waiting to pass out from the sear amount of pounding my heart was doing.
Nora moved me to sit in the tub. I felt the popping of soft bubbles from the bath water. Nora grabbed a wash cloth and proceeded to scrub my skin. She was gentle but still scrubbing hard enough to leave my skin feeling hot.
I don't know how long it was but I started to calm down as I realized Nora would have drowned me when she had the chance she was washing my hair. She hadn't.
Nora popped the drain and grabbed a towel for me helping me stand and proceeded to dry my hair with a towel.
She sniffed the air checking I smelled clean I presumed and nodded her head happy at her work.
"Perfect like nothing happened. Sit on the bed I'll be back with clothes." Nora told me I followed her direction knowing there was no use in escaping as she locked the door after she left.
I pulled the towel tighter around me pulling my long hair over my right shoulder facing the door waiting for Nora to return. As the time passed and Nora hadn't returned I laid back rest one arm above my head on the bed the other securely on the towel.
Everything was still and quiet and I was thankful for once as I tried my best to relax. It was no use though as the bedroom door opened and closed. I slowly rose expecting Nora but being struck paralyzed as I saw Caleb studying me.
He looked focused and hungry as he slowly clicked the door locked.
My fears were now coming true.
