Chapter 3 Revelation

Orchid sighed as she looked around, she couldn't sleep throughout the night, wondering what her fate would be this morning.

It could probably be worse than yesterday, right? She wondered what made him hate her that much. She did nothing, she has never met him in her life, how would she have offended him?

The room was tinier than the one she before, it had only a small iron bed with a single chair and strong chains all-over the walls of the rooms, which were filled with stains of blood. She touched them, they were so cold.

"What are you doing?" She heard that thick and emotionless mean voice she had come to know and she turned back immediately. Seeing his face always gave her mixed emotions of awe and sadness, but fear took the higher part now.

"I was.... just looking.... at the walls." She stuttered, she remembered his warning about answering every of his questions.

He stared at her strangely for a while before scoffing.

"Follow me." He said and she stood up immediately, she couldn't bear to disobey his order after seeing him shoot that man who had helped her.

She was used to being maltreated all her life but she couldn't let someone innocent die for her and that was the point Marino was trying to make.

He walked into a large bed room and she followed him slowly, she gasped at the beauty and he turned to look at her.

"I'm sorry, master." She apologized and bowed quickly and he just smirked.

"This is your room." He replied instead and she slowly looked up at him.

"My....room.." she muttered. This was her room? Why was this man being so kind and wicked at the same time? He gave the vibe of a bitter sweet food you couldn't stop your mouth from watering for.

"Don't get too excited. I can't bear fvcking you in that prison so i have you a bed and a room I can c*m in with pleasure." He replied and she blinked severally.

"What...do you....mean?" She gasped.

"I don't remember piercing a nail into your eardrums, are you saying you want me to explain myself?" He asked. She couldn't reply, it was like the words just stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow it neither could she vomit it out. He took slow and waring steps to her and she moved back slowly till she felt her back hit the wall.

Her breath hitched and she couldn't bear to look into his blue eyes that made you cautious. He smiled, a smile that sent shivers down your spine and he let his fingers trail from her forehead to her chin before raising it up. She stared at him, not because she wanted to but because he was forcing her to look into his eyes.

"You'll seat on this bed and feel it as thorns, every night would make you breathless and weak you'll have to cry. Every fvck would leave you sore that you'll feel like dying. It's not something you can run away from, you'll always be caught and brought back to me. If you manage to escape, I'll find you to the ends of the earth and rip your body apart, even the birds would run away from your hideous corpse! Do you hear me?"

The last question ended everything. Was he expecting her to give a reply that signify she heard him? Was he asking her to say yes to every thing he had said? Was he saying she had to agree to every terms and conditions he had laid down?

"No! No, I'm not going to do what you wish....I would never! I don't know you, why do you hate me so much? What makes you hate me this bad!!!!" She screamed angrily at him. He chuckled slowly and sinisterly as he stared at her.

"Did you.....just.... question me!!!!" He screamed and in the blink of an eye, carried her with an hand and threw her fragile body against the wall, she hit it and coughed out blood immediately.

"Arg..ahh.." she gasped as she coughed out more blood repeatedly. Tears came out of her eyes in large quantities and mixed with the blood that fell on the floor.

He walked to her and bent beside her patting her hair.

"That's what you get for questioning me..." He muttered.

"I wasn't planning to do this to you so quick, Orchid!" He added.

"Why...." Her bloodied mouth moved again, not in sync with her brain who was giving her the stop talking signal.

"Why, you ask? I'll tell you then... Your father, Domenico Simmons is my father's best friend,oh...was. They are both dead now, aren't they?" He chuckled.

" They were the heads of the two greatest Mafia groups in Italy. Unfortunately, Domenico found out our Mafia's secret, my father and his family were vampires...."

"Are you really...." Orchid couldn't finish her words as he gave her a look that made her shut her mouth.

"This is the first time I'm speaking this long, do you want me to stop? Don't. Interrupt. Me!" He warned and she nodded slowly.

"Your father, little girl, couldn't keep this secret even though my father had never killed anyone for blood, though they had known each other for several years, though my father had always had his back. He plotted and killed each. And. every. One of. My family." He made sure she had no problem hearing the last part.

"My brothers are dead! My sister lies in her grave! My parents are screaming for vengeance! Hundreds upon hundreds of my gang are asking for blood, b*tch!!! And your father had to die, he tried to escape from the consequences of his actions. I was supposed to annihilate his whole family like he did mine, yet, you are the only one of his kind left! You have to suffer for the consequences of your father's actions, Orchid! And you will never be free from them!!" He said.

Orchid gasped slowly as she looked at him with more tears welling up in her eyes.

"My....father would never...do that. He doesn't backstab a friend!" She gasped breathlessly.

"Well, he did! And you are the only one left to undergo the consequences. Brace up, Orchid, for you'll never be able to save yourself from this mess." He threatened and with that, stood up leaving the room.

The tears streamed down Orchid's face as she gasped more.

"Dad will never....he will never do that.... listen to me, please..." She cried bitterly.

"Have your bath!" Someone suddenly said and she looked up, it was Hellcat.

"Hellcat...listen to me, my dad would...

"Hellcat?" She interrupted Orchid's pleas.

"Never...call..my..name!!" She warned and dragged Orchid up with her hair.

"Didn't I warn you? Last night would be the happiest day of your life. Have your bath!!" She let go of Orchid's hair and she hit the ground weakly.

"Weak." She smirked and banged the door as she left. The truth of reality hit Orchid, Hellcat would never help her, there was no help anywhere.

No, this can't be. She had to escape this hell, her life can't be like this, she was just eighteen. She had to leave this hell.

"Dad...." She cried sadly as her tears filled the ground and threw was no more in her eyes.

She hiccuped severally and stood up weakly taking the bedsheet that was laid carefully on the bed. She removed all the curtains and tied them together, forming a long rope. Then she walked to the window, staring down from it. It was scary, the height made her lose hope of even surviving but she had to even make an attempt.

The rope was also a little bit shorter than where she wanted it but she could easily jump and cover the height in-between while making sure she won't make a single noise. It was easier since there were no guards patrolling that area, she guessed they had no woken up, it was still early in the morning.

She took a deep breath and tied the rope strongly to a iron in her room, making sure it was tight enough for her to use. She could not risk her life for nothing, she was sure she would be dead if Marino caught her but, that was the main reason she would avoid being caught.

She walked to the mirror and stared at her disorganized body, her face filled with blood and bruises and she could still feel the pain from hitting her back on the wall the other time.

"I can do this!" She said to herself and places her hand on the rope, she successfully climbed over the window and moved carefully but quickly down wards and when she got to the end, she jumped to the ground. She rolled painfully and could hear the noise she caused but she laid low for sometime watching out for the guards, none came and she smiled victoriously and stood up on her feet.

Just then, someone came out.
