"Hello there Isabelle." This man said smiling, walking to the chair next to me.
I didn't reply, just kept looking at him. He was tall and had dark brown hair. He had green eyes, and a very tan complex. He was also built and dressed very... Royal like.
"I know you probably have questions, which I will do my best to answer them." He said as he sat down and looked at me.
"W-who are you?"
"Ahh. Well that, may scare you." He said with this slick smile. He sat up more in his chair and crossed one leg on top of the other.
"W-why?"
"Well, because I am sure you have heard of me before. Nothing good though I'm sure." He said with this smile, like he was proud of his reputation.
"W-who are you?" I asked starting to get angry and trying not to snap on this guy.
"Ha. I see you are starting to get annoyed. So, lets play a little game."
I did not reply, if he didn't tell me soon he was about to get all silent treatment.
"Have you heard this saying before, 'I always get what I want'?" His eyebrows were raised waiting for me to figure it out.
I started to think, the only person who has ever said that to me is... Jason.
Wait... Jason. I felt my face freeze.
"Ahh. Yes you have. Well then I think you can guess who I am then, can't you?"
"You... You're... Sir. Richard..." I said staring at him with my mouth half open.
"We have a winner!" He chuckled an evil laugh.
"I have to say, I've heard much about you. You are much more beautiful than described." He said locking eyes with me.
"What do you want with me?" I said, ignoring his last comment.
"The million dollar question eh?" He said tapping the chair.
"I have woken up this way, too many times in the last few weeks. I am tired of waking up tied down in a bed with needles in my arms." I said sternly.
"I can see how that would get tedious Princess, but if you cooperate, then we will be done soon." He said as his smile faded and he actually looked like.. he felt sorry for me.
I looked away and looked down at my hands. I was done with hearing that. I was tired of being treated like this. I have feelings too. It's my body and I have zero control over what happens to it.
"Listen, I don't want to hurt you. If there was another way to do this I would. You don't seem like a bad person Isabelle. I can see why Jason is in love with you." He stated softly.
"Is that suppose to make me feel any better?" I said in a half-joking tone, still looking at my hands.
He put his head down and didn't say anything for a few minutes.
"Weeks ago I was normal girl. I didn't have any of this drama or this craziness in my life. I wasn't constantly being kidnapped and taken advantage of. I have no control over what happens to me. I did nothing to deserve this. I did nothing to be treated like this." I couldn't hold it in any longer. I started crying while telling him this.
He didn't say anything just looked at me with this somber look. He looked down then stood up.
"I would release the straps but I know you will run... and I can't have that. I need your blood to make him better.. I'm sorry. I hope one day you can understand." I saw the hurt in his eyes as he spoke quietly.
"He? Who better?"
He sighed, "I cannot tell you right now. That is my weakness... which is why, I cannot tell you that. I'm sorry." He walked to the door and opened it, looked at me with this look... Was he messing with me? Playing with my emotions so I play along?
"I will have Julie come in and help you get washed up."
He said before he left and shut the door tightly.
Who was he talking about? SO he wants my blood to make someone better? Not a weapon? Huh. He didn't seem that awful... not what Jason had told me.
Jason. Oh my, How my heart aches for him. I wish I could be with him. I wonder how long I've been gone.
Julie came in and had a towel and some clothes in her arms. She was older, but she reminded me of someone's gramma who baked them cookies all the time and slipped them money.
"The bathroom is this door, I will set this stuff down in there. If you need anything just ask." She said walking over to the bathroom.
When she came out she headed over to my feet and undid the straps and then unhooked both IV's. She stopped at the straps holding my hands in place and looked at me.
"Please... don't run away when I let your arms free. He needs your blood to help save him. Please... please understand. I don't know what Sir Jason has told you but Sir. Richard is a good man. He's made mistakes yeah... but who hasn't?" She looked so sweet.
I nodded, "I won't" I whispered out.
She unclipped the straps and you could tell she thought I was gonna run, but for some reason... I didn't want to run. I wanted to help them, they wanted my blood for different reasons than Mark.
I nodded and thanked the nurse and walked slowly to the bathroom.
The bathroom was cute. The walls were a light blue and had flowers randomly all over the walls. There was a window and there was no bars on it. The tub was similar to the one at Jason's and the shower was tile all around and there was a seat in there. There was a counter with two sinks and a mirror above both.
I decided to take a bath, and it loosened my muscles. I got out and got dressed. They were comfy clothes, a T shirt with some comfy pants, my size. These people are good at guessing sizes.
I brushed my hair and teeth and went back into the room.
Julie came into the room and asked If I felt better, I told her yes and thank you.
"How.. long have I been here Julie?" I asked, nervously biting my lip hoping It hasn't been more than a few days.
She looked at me and said, "You have been here for Two full days."
That's not as long as I thought. Still... two days too long. Sigh. I wanna go home.
"Is there anything to eat?" I asked while getting back on the bed. She didn't strap me down yet and went over to the machines.
"Yes dear, what would you like?" She came over to me and had this look in her eyes. I couldn't quite read it.
"No need to ask Julie." Sir. Richard came in the room and stood by the door.
"If she is up for it, I would like her to join me for supper." He said looking at Julie then at me.
Julie bowed to him and backed away a few feet so he could see me clearly.
"Princess Isabelle, would you care to join me for supper?" He asked with a bow and It was actually surprising. He kidnapped me, and now wants me to eat dinner with him? But it's weird because I don't get the same energy from him as I did Mark.
"Um. Sure. When is it?"
"Whenever you want. Are you wanting to eat now my Princess?" He said with a soft smile, locking eyes with me.
"Yes." I said not breaking eye contact.
He walked over to me and held out his arm, "Then do me the honors, and let me escort you."
I slowly put my arm through his as I stood up. I stood up way too fast because I almost fell but... he caught me.
We locked eyes and stayed there for a good 30 seconds. Why is it my body is not alarmed to him being this close? Why is it I don't feel like I need to run for my life? Maybe it's because he's Jason's family? Or because I know he says he doesn't want to hurt me and wants my blood for.. something good.
"S-sorry. I stood up too fast.. my body is still a little weak." I whispered.
"Don't be Isabelle." He had some very green eyes and it felt like he was staring into my soul.
He stood up and helped me stand up again. This time he tightened his grip on me and helped me walk.
"The dining area is not far from here. Do you think you can make it or would you like me to carry you there?" He asked staring at me. I don't know how I feel about this... the way he is looking at me is making feel... weird.
"I think I can walk.." I said as I started to take a few steps to the door and started to fall again...
"Please, allow me to help you." He said swooping me in his arms and looking down at me. He was looking at me... like he was gonna kiss me.
What is going on here...
I need to snap out of it. Come on Isabelle.
