It had been two weeks.
"Neil, hurry up. We need to go right now. hurry up there is no time to waste. It is Daisy. she has reached out! She wants to meet outside the campus. I have sneak you out. Get up!" screamed Henry.
It was 3:00 am. This was the best news I had heard in a while. I didn't waste a second. I got up and ran towards Henry. He managed to sneak me out, not that many people were watching at three in the morning. We reached a secluded place about five miles from campus. I saw a beautiful shadow waiting for me next to Anna. I ran in for a hug. When I got a good look at her, I had tears in my eyes.
Her dimples were gone. Her skin was dull, as if it hadn't eaten in a few days. Her hands were weak. Her eyes were swollen. And her wrists had red marks on them.
"What happened my love? I am so sorry I should've saved you." I was devastated. Henry and Anna waited patiently for Daisy to answer.
"Don't worry guys, I am fine. Stop blaming yourselves. This was solely my decision, okay? After we left the alter, the game master took me home. I asked him to remove his mask in front of me since he had so easily revealed my identity to the world. He refused me without even thinking on it. He said 'you are my property; I can do as I please with you. Don't even think about finding out my truths or gaining my trust so easily. You have married a very private person. You need to do as I say or else you will never gain my trust.' I knew in that moment that I couldn't risk it. I couldn't risk our entire plan just because I didn't feel like loving him. I had to give in. I had to give in a lot. Every second that I spent with him felt like hell. The way he ordered me around, the way he used me for my body, I was just so sick of it. Six days had passed and he still didn't trust me. I had been giving him everything he wanted. I used to cry myself to sleep and wake up super early to make myself pretty again so that I could keep him interested. This look you see on my face right now, this dullness, I never let him see any of it. Every time I faced him, I kept a smile on my face. He used me for his pleasures. I hated it so much Neil. I felt like I sold my body to him. He didn't express even a hint of trust. I stopped eating. I stopped smiling. He noticed it all but he didn't say anything until he finally did. 'What is it? Do you not like the food? Eat it, it is delicious. What's with the annoying look on your face. God, can't a man eat in peace without being constantly nagged by his wife? I am so tired!' He threw his plate across the room. He was so angry. I was afraid of him. I took a step back. He screamed, 'oh you are scared huh? Well, I will show you how scared you should be!' He held me down by my wrists. His grip was so tight. He was so close to me I couldn't breathe. I could see his anger through his mask. His grip tightened further as I screamed at him to let me go. He said, 'you, darling, are my slave, yes, you. You eat when I say eat and you sleep when I say sleep. You keep quiet unless spoken to. You want me to trust you? you want me to love you? Earn it! Be the woman you were when I met you. Stop victimizing yourself and be my wife. You understand me, right?' He slowly loosened his grip around my wrists. He kissed my neck and slowly undressed me. He kissed me everywhere. I controlled my tears. I controlled my heart from stopping. In that moment, I wanted to die. He got the honeymoon he wanted. He ate, had fun and dreamt all day long. Me on the other hand, had the worst experience ever. I feel like I didn't even breathe through this entire time. I couldn't even leave to meet you guys. Some emergency came up with his plan and I found the chance to meet you guys. I swear I got lucky. You have to know that every time I meet you all could be the last. The game master's temper is not to joke around with. Anything can happen if I don't give in to his requests. Eventually I will get used to it. I just need him to trust me immediately. Neil, I see the smile in your face has faded just like me. Don't worry, you caught yourself a strong woman. I will get your family back. I might have my moments of weaknesses but I will not give up. I know it is taking longer than expected for this plan to work but I can see it working in the future. I know we don't have much time and we don't know what is happening but I have to keep trying. We all have to keep trying. I am sorry Neil; I can't kiss you. Even though my heart belongs to you, I belong to the game master. Anything I do will immediately be caught. I can't risk it. Wait for me. I have to go now because he might be getting back soon. The honey moon period is about to end and the real mystery behind all of this is about to be unveiled. Stay patient and wait for me to contact you guys again. Until then, try to keep an eye on every person you suspect about anything and everything. You will need the extra help when I complete my side of the plan. I love you, Neil. I have to go. No good byes."
