Time doesn't go or come... It's constant... Probably the only constant...

 

I've been in here for fourteen days, fourteen longs days of solitude, fourteen days that I've not seen one single person, I've not eaten a single bite of food, I've only had one pair of cloth to change into. 

Fourteen days in which I've had time to think, thought, destructive thoughts 

Fourteen days which I've taken to regret all the moves I've made since stepping into Knoxville, fourteen days which I've taken to decide that Tyler and I are better off if we keep our relationship secret 

Fourteen days in which I've not heard anything about any body or Gina, if she's dead or alive. I've been surviving on tap water. 

And finally, fourteen days in which I have used to hone the anger in my stomach, the anger and despair of being trapped and without a will. 

Xavier hasn't come back to this room, to this house, He has left me here to rot and die. 

It's obvious this is his house, it's part of the estate, it's the place he stays in when he's not in the main house, I've had time to explore, I took the advantage. 

Consequences be damned. 

I'm lying on the rug in front of the fireplace, my stomach stopped hurting after the 6 day, how he could have left his fridge empty is beyond me. 

All that's left of me now is a weak, willless mess. 

The guards that are on me are no where to be seen, they are as silent as shadows. 

I roll over gently, going back to counting the dust balls flying. 

The door opens and I am too weak to  turn towards it, I stay in my position. 

His face fills my vision, his scar is prominent against his white skin. 

"Get up" He orders but I just blink slowly, my vision clouding. 

He looks me over before barking. 

"Did no one feed her?" 

"She did not ask for meals Boss" A voice replys. 

"You, on gate duty for 5 months," he says, pointing at someone I can't see., probably the guy who answered . "Anybody wants to give me a reasonable explanation now?" He asks, bending to pick me up from the ground and onto the sofa. 

"Are you dying?" He asks me with a look I can't discern. 

"You would like that won't you?" I ask in a scratchy voice. 

"Yes, I would, do you know how much problem you have caused me this past few weeks? I've gone to war for you.

. You deserve to die" He says and finally, finally tears rolls from my eyes. 

I don't deserve to die, I want to live, I want to be normal. 

"Tyler is in danger, There's only one way to secure his protection" He says, producing white papers from his coat pocket. 

"Sit up, you have to sign this" He says and I attempt to negotiate.... 

"Gina..?" I'm hungry and weak, that's the best I can do, sue me. 

"Yes,yes,you will see Gina after you sign this papers" He says handing me a pen, it falls out of my grip. 

I can't hold on. 

His irritation is obvious as he watches me try and fail to hold on to the pen. 

He produces a Swiss knife from his boot, effectively slicing his palm and pressing my thumb to his blood. 

He presses my finger to the paper before doing so for himself. 

"Good" He says, standing up, I want to tell him to clean his wound but don't have the strength to stay awake. 

As I drift away I hear him give orders to have me bathed and fed. 

****

I snuggle deeper into the fluffy pillows, wow,This must be heaven, it feels so good to be strong after these past days of weakness. 

I begin to yawn and stretch, that is when I see the needle in my arm, it's connected to a drip. 

They had to juice me up! The suckers! 

I rip the stupid thing out and I climb out of the bed, standing to see myself in a pale black - how black can be pale is beyond me- nightie. 

My first thought is that it's pretty, my second thought is that someone stripped me and changed me. 

I hope it wasn't one of those suckers, I wear the fluffy white bunny slippers and I pad downstairs. 

I follow the scent of food to the dinning to see the beautiful buffet spread out in front of me... 

OK, obviously when Xavier wants something done, he wants it done in an extreme way. 

I remember him telling them to feed me, they went all out, If I get fed like this everyday I would willingly allow them to keep me captive. 

I seat down and gorge myself with rice and veggies until I could eat no more. 

I sit back when I'm done when suddenly a lady appears from mo where. 

"Are you a ghost? If you are I have to tell you that I'm too full to run, you have to wait for me to digest" I say, with a big sigh. 

"No, madam, I'm Lucy, your new housekeeper, I've been charged with keeping this house clean, me and my girls" I blink. 

Madam? She's mistaken, she must think I'm the madam because I'm the only one here, it's alright, I'm a paid help too. 

I frown at her words, it's obvious Xavier ordered someone else to keep this house clean, although not as big as the main house but impressive nonetheless. 

Madam K must find it hard to come out here to clean. 

"It's okay Lucy, you can call me Mitch, every one does so" I say and she smiles, on a closer look she seems to be around her early 30s.

I smile back. 

"Xavier wants you to get dressed, he wants you to know he will be here in ten minutes" Xavier wants me to know? 

Is the world coming to an end? 

I nod, standing up, he must want me out of here, I can't wait to go see how Gina is doing. 

I turn to leave but turn back to Lucy, "Where you the one who dressed me?" She nods and I say a word of thanks before leaving. 

As I dress I vaguely remember blood and thumb prints, Xavier must have made me sign something that states I will never date his brother,the bastard. 

I'm never breaking up with Tyler. 

I dress in a black turtle neck sweater and a black jeans with a black coat and black low heeled boots. 

Everything is in my size, this people do not mess around about getting things done. 

It appears I'm in Xavier's room but I don't think much of it because I'm quitting this job today and I'm running with my cousin to another state. 

Finish.
