Chapter 7

She woke up feeling sore. Her whole body hurt too. She heard laughter and forced her eyes open immediately. This wasn't Aldric's room.

"Your brother sure has taste. I like this one" She heard an unfamiliar voice. She looked at herself and felt her toes curl when she discovered he was naked.

"I know. This one's better than the others" She heard him say. The monster who'd drugged her. The man she assumed was nice. Better than Eric.

He'd drugged her and raped her. Not just him but his friends too. Tears ran down her cheeks as she curled on the cold floor hugging herself tightly.

"You're right, bro. You think your brother will be mad we played with his pet?" Another asked. That made her feel more terrible.

"Of course not. I'm his brother" He said confidently.

She knew he wasn't wrong. If Eric could treat her like an animal, he certainly wouldn't care how many men raped her. Tears continued to stream down. He called a guard.

"Take her. Do whatever you please, we're done with her" He said.

She felt arms peel her from the floor. She didn't bother fighting. She wasn't even sure she could survive it. She'd commit suicide and escape the pain.

He took her to their quarters. She wanted to disappear at the moment as all eyes fixed on her naked self.

"What are you doing with her?" A soldier asked.

"Prince Aldric handed her to us. Pretty, isn't she?" He replied.

"Yes, very".

"I like that slender waist"

"I think I prefer the ass".

Several comments. They didn't stop coming. They surrounded her, each trying to touch her. She squeezed her eyes shut.

"What's going on here?". That voice made her eyes snap open. The soldiers scurried away from her immediately. They were visible trembling.

"Cain, I asked a question" He repeated coldly.

"We...actually....Prince Aldric.....I...." He stuttered unable to reply. Her eyes slowly met with Eric's and tears streamed down. Why was he asking like he cared? He wasn't different from them. He was probably worse. Maybe it was not yet time for him to demand her body.

The thought made her feel more horrible than she already did. She felt like garbage. Before he could ask her, she ran out.

She didn't want to answer to him. She couldn't stand his cruel judgement. He'd obviously support his brother. She kept running in tears without looking at where she was headed.

The only thing she could think of was her miserable life. She wanted to die. Even if she had to jump off the roof or anything. Somehow, she found herself outside the tower. She laughed bitterly.

A cruel reminder of where it all began. She pushed the door open and ran up the stairs. She wanted to end it. It didn't matter how.

On the last floor, she pushed the first door open. Luckily, the window had no bars. She pushed it open and climbed on it. She glanced down and swallowed.

"Go ahead and jump" His cold voice came from behind. She could almost sense the mockery in it.

"I will. I'm tired of all of you. I'm tired of being treated like an animal. First, you made me your dog, then your brother drugged me. He drugged me and raped me. Not alone but with his friends. To humiliate me further, he tossed me to his soldiers. Of what use is my life to me?. Do I even have a life?" She sobbed.

"No, you don't. You should really jump and end it all. Let my brother have a good laugh for breaking you. Before that, I'll like to take my pretty collar" He shrugged reaching for her neck.

She couldn't believe he just said that. She was at the verge of taking her life and all he could think about was his collar?.

He took it off to prove he wasn't kidding.

"You're free to jump now. I could give you a little push if you want" He said and she was dumbfounded. He was eager to watch her die. He didn't even try to convince her otherwise.

She glanced down again. The will to end it was gone now. If he hadn't showed up with his mockery, she would have probably jumped without thinking twice.

Now she thought about it, how would her mother feel knowing she killed herself? She sighed and climbed down. She met his expressionless face.

"I guess it's actually easier when you're not staring" She sighed.

"You think I'm looking at your ass?" He asked and she chuckled. The very first time she'd laughed in days.

"Well since you aren't dying any more, you can have the collar back. I couldn't Let you ruin such an expensive collar with blood" He said placing it back on her neck.

"You know it's hard to imagine you pick a collar over your pet" She scoffed.

"My pet's stubborn so her death should be a relief, don't you think?" He shrugged sweeping her of her feet.

She shivered as she felt his cold hands on her body. She rested her head lightly on her chest. She was tempted to wrap her hands round him but she remembered his rules.

He felt surprisingly warm. He carried her out of the room.

"I said I was raped not paralysed" She blurted as he descended the stairs. He stopped abruptly.

"What did you just say?" He asked and she bit her lip, cursing her stupid tongue inwardly. She stole a glance at him but she couldn't tell of he was angry or not.

"I said you don't have to carry me......." He almost released her and she quickly wrapped her hands round his neck and buried her face in her neck.

"Mummy, I don't wanna die.... Please don't drop me.....please...." She muttered. He didn't move or push her away.

She slowly lifted her face and her eyes met his. His eyes slowly dropped to her hands. She gasped and jumped out of his hands. Did she just touch him?.

"Before you punish me, remember I'm still depressed and you stopped me from committing suicide so technically you're responsible for my disobedience" She said quickly.

For the first time, she saw a glint of amusement in those cold eyes though it vanished almost immediately.
