CHAPTER FOUR: THE RED DOOR INCIDENCE

Having thrown the quilt over my body. The lady removes it and pulls me from the bed making me stagger a little bit before my brain can assimilate my stamina.

"Now!!" she screams, her voice loud like a bird chirping "This is past rising time and you are still on bad and to top it all a pet slave the master just bought. This isn't your fairy tale home. Now have your bath and get ready in ten minutes. No more no less. If you aren't down by then, you should fear the wrath of the master for you will be punished. When you are done meet me downstairs I will be waiting for you to assign your roles in this mansion. You should thank the master for giving you such a room no one else has ever had in this mansion as a slave. Now get going!!!." She spit out harshly, leaving no room for any question, she opens the door and bang the door close with a loud thud leaving me perplexed. Staring at the closed door in confusion, I can not understand a word she has just breathed out from her lips.

'Aarghhhhh' I feel a sharp pain coursing through my head, forcing myself to make sense of what.

"well." I shrug my shoulders. 'It's best I get ready and get downstairs to know what is happening.' I thought to myself, standing up from the bed.

I walk towards the wardrobe fixed by the right corner of the room. I open it to find different colors and designs of clothes I have never seen before in my life. I don't even remember what I have seen and what I haven't seen. I plunge my hands inside the wardrobe selecting a blue dress and drop it on the bed. I walk back to the wardrobe picking a satin bathrobe and wrapping myself with it after removing the white gown I was putting on.

After spending a few minutes in the bathroom. I come out with my hair wet as the water trickles down, making the floor wet. I quickly wring out the water from my hair using a white cloth. I pick up the blue dress I have already picked and put the dress over my head trying to make it fit my body because it is too loose. After what felt like ages of using pins to make it fit, I make my way outside the room door.

Scanning the area with my eyes in search of the staircase that would lead me downstairs, I notice a red door a few steps away from mine. Curiously, I move towards the door pushing it open with little effort. Entering inside the room, the door closes behind me with a loud thud causing me to shiver a little bit as I turn to pull it open but to no avail. I walk inside slowly, tracing the wall with my fingers to assist me so I can navigate through the room. My fingers stop on an item and mistakenly knock it off making a loud shatter. A weird smell starts to erupt from the room, bringing up my sleeve to my nose I try to cover my nose from inhaling but a little gets past and enters my nostrils making me wheeze a little bit as it gets to my throat causing me to breathe hard. I dropped to the floor trying to crawl away from the area, I hear the sound of something scraping my knees. The room being dark is making things hard for me. I start to hear the sound of things flying around me making loud ear-piercing howling screams making me cover my ear with my hands. But the smell and screams are so painful that I feel a rush of blood flowing out of my ear and making a dropping sound that sends shivers down to my spine. With the little strength I have in me, I force myself towards the door but I can't seem to reach it after so much struggle.

'Will this be my end?' I ask myself rhetorically with tears brewing in my eyes.

I tremble on the floor with the sudden cold that envelopes my body, Clasping my feet and hands together I squeeze my body together like a scared animal. I can't think straight again, the screams are messing with my brain making my visions blurry and pain coursing through my whole body. With the smoke that has entered my system, I find it hard to breathe and my eyelids are growing heavier.

"Help me, please." My voice trembles speaking to no one but the silhouette of nothingness.

A few seconds more have passed and my body has become very Chilly almost frozen and my eyelids fluttering cold before I suddenly feel a tight grip under my knees and at the nape of my neck. The howling screams grow faint as I am picked up from the floor.

Impulsively I wrap my hands around the person's neck, nuzzling into the chest of the person holding me. I can not see who it is because of the darkness but I can hear his angry low growls, the faint bloody scents emanating from his him. He walks out of the room with no effort to open the door.

Finally, I can see the natural lights again, and a face that looks foreign yet feels familiar staring intently at me.

I release my hands from his neck and he reacts with an angry hiss making me wrap my hands again reflexively.

Feeling embarrassed for an unknown reason, I quickly avert my gaze to the floor avoiding the piercing cold gaze on me.

His long strides lead him into a different room to meet a man waiting inside already.

"Have a check on her." He said sternly with an angry tone to the man, dropping me carefully on a bed and covering me with high-quality sheets.

"Sure, lord Ravkan." The man bows taking one of my wrists into one of his hands as he waits for some seconds with his eyes closed. A minute later, he walks back and whispers something into the ear of the man he called Ravkan.

Ravkan eyes grow dark after the man finishes whispering to him. He grips the man's neck as he gasps for air.

"You must save her." He wasn't asking, he was ordering. "You don't want to know what happens if you fail to do so or do you?" His voice holds a threatening and wicked tone at the same time.

The innocent man shivers with fear "My-My-My lord, it's not a deadly illness. She has just been malnourished. She needs proper care, good food, and no stress. That is all my lord." He bows his head fearfully.

Ravkan releases him and tells him to call for Anna.

Who is Anna?

A knock on the door is heard before it swings open revealing the woman who scolded me earlier in the day.

"Yes, my lord you called for me," She said standing a few steps behind him.

"Why did you let her out of the room? I told you she is to be properly taken care of" His voice is dangerously cold and his eyes throwing daggers at her.

"I am sorry my lord" She proceeds to kneel hurriedly in front of him her head touching the cold floor. "It...... was She..... Sheila. She to....told me that you had changed your mind. Th.... Tha.....That you want her to start work...ing immediately." She was definitely scared that her voice was crackling as she spoke.

"oh wow, I never knew her words had powers over mine!!!!" he chuckles softly. "Since you decided to choose her words over mine. You will be imprisoned soon to await your judgment by my pet. I will let her decide what to do to you."

Immediately two men dressed in black appear in front of the maid With a snap of his fingers.

"Take her away to the dungeon, make sure she is given no food nor water." He looks at her with a scowl and continues "It would be nice if you strip away her clothes" he smirks.

"Please, plea- please, please my lord. Please forgive me." She weeps as the guards drag her out of the room. Ravkan spares her no glance at all as he watches the scene with his stoic expression.

He proceeds to sit on the bed. His hands touched my neck making a black-adorned collar appear round my neck.

"This will keep you safe." His voice is rich and sweet clouding my senses. It is insane how he can switch his vocals that makes me want to hear more of his voice. So intoxicating.

"Safe?"

"Yes safe. And I bought you to be my pet. So it makes more sense right? I can't leave you wandering to places you are not supposed to be. He smirks elevating my eyes to stare into his deep red eyes finding a little bit of warmth in them.

'Does he care for me?' I question myself inwardly before nodding my head in response.

"Good." He pats my head. "I have got something to take care of. Rest assured I will assign someone to take appropriate care of you." He pressed his lips on my temple making my stomach grumble and chest beating rapidly as I watch him exit the door.
