Chapter 36

“Get off me!” I shouted but it was futile I was escorted into the darkest section of the palace, it had rooms with steel doors all along the corridor. I was taken to the 14th door, which was opened and I was thrown in.

The room was dark and the bed was nothing but a sheet on a metal table. The second the men threw my form. I slapped on the floor. My hands and knees scraped, my already damaged knuckle shot with pain, and my head was pounding. I quickly scrambled onto my shaky legs and went to run to the door just as it closed.

“NO! Let me out! Don’t leave me down here…” I banged on the metal and tried to open it but it was no use, I heard the locks click and realized that I was completely trapped. If I don’t let him mark me then it’s going to get a lot worse for me. “HEY! LET ME OUT!”

I heard footsteps retreating and felt my hope fleeting with it.

“FUCKERS!” I gave one final bang on the door before sliding my back down it. I bunched my knees together and cuddled myself, as I looked around the damp room.

“It’s no use!” I jumped out of my skin when a mans voice filled the cell. My head turned to my left and I noticed a rugged looking man peering into my room through a set of bars at the top of the wall on my left.

“Once your down here the only way to get out is either death or being lucky enough to be let out.” He was definitely latino so I would probably say he was Costa Rican maybe.

I stood up slowly as to not fall over, my energy was practically non existent at that point. He gave a long whistle before speaking once more. “Jeez, who did you piss off, niña, you look like ya took one of them on in wolf form. Wait… he’s human? (Niña–child/girl)

“You’re human!” I simply stated, he was thin, his cheek bones and shoulders were very prominent and his brown potato sack top hung off him, his naturally tanned skin was dry and flaky showing the amount of time he had been down here for.

“Of course, there’s no way in hell im one of those mutts!” I walked over to the little window like place and stood in front of the man, showing my face to him properly. “So… are you gonna tell me who you pissed off?” 1 sighed contemplating weather to tell him or to keep it to myself, in the end I figured why not, it’s nice to finally see another human.

“King Josh!” I admitted causing the mans face to hold shock, he then chuckled and slapped his hand on his skinny stomach.

“Well, go big or go home right?!” I chuckled hollowly, but nodded my head and raised my eyebrows in sarcasm. *I like you niña. You remind me of my daughter” He had a kid, I smiled at him sadly before questioning him.

“How old is she?” He smiled brightly as he thought about it.

“Ahh she’ll be coming up for 21 now, I think. You kind of lose track of the days down here.” His eyes flashed in sadness, and sorrow quickly took over his features, a sorrow that I have seen many times and know all too

well.

“I’m so sorry you’re not with her.” As quick as his sadness came it went and he smiled.

Chapter 36

“Honestly, Im glad she isn’t here to see what I’ve become.” I can see what he means, this place is awful, I hate the world we live in so I can only imagine what his daughter would think. “You can’t be more than 18. So that begs the question, what did you do to land yourself in here?”

I sighed, as I felt my stupid eyes filling up again. I’m sick of this soppy pathetic side of me. “I tried to kill myself, king Josh didn’t approve.”
