Chapter 8: He Is Right

Erica woke up next morning to find the same two girls standing in the room again. Erica sat up and looked at them for a brief moment, “What is your guys’ purpose of working for that douche bag? He is a horrible person,” she said, her voice was still coarse and hoarse because of the grabbing of her throat. “What is his name anyway?” she asked in pure annoyance, “The sire’s name is King Dominic,” one of them answered and Erica laughed bitterly, “King? King? King of what? Arrogancy? Stupidity? Or wait King of Pride, that is it,” She said and chuckled. She then got out of the bed and yawned, “Where is the bathroom in this big ass room?” she asked the girls and they pointed towards the closet door.

Erica looked at it in pure confusion for a second then moved towards it, she opened the door and it automatically lit up. She walked in and found another door at the end of the closet that she had not previously seen, she opened the door and was astonished by the most beautiful and big, clean and organized washroom she had ever seen. She was in awe of it. She gasped loudly and went in. She opened the shower and without thinking of her any other clothes stripped out of her clothes. She bathed relax fully in the shower and when it was time to come out she was confused cause she had disposed off the silk suit she was wearing in the bin, she poked her head out of the washroom and whistled. One of the girls pocked her head in from the closet door, and Erica chuckled.

“Sorry I had to whistle like a manner less girl, but I don’t know your names,” she said and the girl smiled politely, “It is fine miss, my name is Jenny and the name of other girl is Clio, do you need something?” she asked her politely and Erica nodded, “Well yes, my name is Erica, please don’t call me miss from now on, And I need some clothes please, I do not have clothes, so yeah,” she said and chuckled nervously. “It is fine Mi- i meant Erica, this whole closet is for you,” Jenny said and Erica laughed, “No, it must not be, I do not wear such type of clothes please,” she said and Jenny looked at her all confused, “Then what else would you like to wear?” she asked and Erica shrugged, “Pants and shirts,” she answered briefly and she chuckled and nodded, she went out and in few moments came back in with a white silk shirt and black pants of material that Erica had never seen or touched before ever. She changed into those clothes and came out of the wash room. The girls dried her hair and then escorted her to the hall for breaking her fast.

At this time of day, Erica could see the place she was being held captive in , in full glory, It was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. It was beautifully made. With bright colour painted huge walls and two story place. It was a proper castle; she had never seen a castle before in her life. Not even in pictures, only heard and read about them in story books and from other story tellers. She was in awe, the ceiling was dome shaped and the whole ceiling was made out of glass. ‘It must look very pretty when it rained,’ she thought as she looked around. ‘Who the hell made this place to such perfection?’ she thought to herself and her mind wandered off to the King Dominic, King, she huffed in her mind and thoughts, ‘What a pathetic joke on name of King,’ She thought and looked around and followed Jenny and Clio to the same dining hall.

“By the way miss, did you found your way back last night easily? We came back to escort you but you were not in the hall,” Jenny asked her and she smiled and nodded, “Oh yes, I am very good in remembering ways and passages, do not worry about me,” she answered them sweetly and they nodded. “Your voice is hoarse, you must be getting sick. Please do try the herbal soup first whilst breaking your fast; it is very helpful for harsh or sore throat.” Erica smiled at her concern and nodded, “Oh no, it is not sore throat, your douche of a king grabbed me by my neck and held me trying to crush my wind and my food pipe as well,” Erica said sarcastically.

“Oh, do tell me why did I do that though?” Erica heard from behind her and her eyes were big as soup bowls, but she kept calm and chuckled. “Well, he was forced to do that because he could not help herself against a poor, little, weak girl.” Erica said and stomped her feet and went in the dining hall. She sat on the chair and poured herself some soup as Jenny had suggested her, whilst ignoring King Dominic again. 

He came and sat in his spot whilst looking at her, she felt his eyes on her but she ignored him completely and focused on her soup. "You need to start respecting me," he said and she ignored him and didn't answered.

"You have to respect me if you want to leave quickly," He said and caught her attention. She looked at him and squinted her eyes, 'I don't believe a word he is saying,' she thought to herself and he chuckled, "Well, you need to start believing me, you are in my territory and only I can get you out of here," he said and she shook her head.

"What the hell, are you reading my thoughts?" she asked him and he shrugged, "Take a look at me Erica, I am a fantasy creature who have captured you and only thing you are worried about is that I can read your mind?" he asked and she gritted her teeth because he was right.
