She woke in panic, she looked around her. This wasn’t a dream? She shivered, the cold air covering over her in a sheet like a blanket. She sat up quickly, she saw she was almost naked, only her bra and panties. She grabbed the towel from underneath her wrapping herself in it. He walked in to see this. “I uhmm. I sorry. I promise I didn’t touch you. I was trying to get you out of that dress, blood all over and I..uhm I got a bath started for you.” He was fumbling with each word, his hands were moving with speed. She smirked, he was actually kinda cute.

‘No stop it, he is not cute he is a cannibal a killer.’ The little voice in her head yelled. She scooted away from his as he drew closer. “I just wanted to help you off the floor.” He warmly offered. extending his hand. She hesitantly took it, he helped her to the bathroom and took the towel from her carefully. “Go on.”

“I am not comfortable…with you yet.” He nodded looking almost hurt, he left the room tears rolling down his cheeks. She thought he was a monster. He sat on his bed curling in a ball, his family messed it up. They came on to strong, he knew that they were always like that but they also made her finish the kill. He felt horrible for her. He heard her crying as well on the other side of the bathroom door, he wanted to wrap her in his arms and comfort her. The moment he had laid his eyes of her quivering frame he was love struck. He was instantly obsessed. He had to tell her their history, it would’t be right for her to live with a family of cannibals and serial killers without knowing why they lived like that anyway.

He waited for her to open the door; slowly, her face poked out behind the privacy of its wooden frame . “Hey uhmm do you have any clothes for me?” She was shivering from the cold of leaving the bath. He nodded and brought her the bag she had left in her car.

“My dad and I are going to go into the city for a few hours in a weeks time. By then I can learn you size, as well as if I will be needing maternity clothes anytime soon.” She gulped, no way in hell was he getting anywhere near her without clothes on. He walked into the room his face was blotchy from crying, she held the towel tightly.

“W..were you crying?” She asked. He nodded trying to hide the tears.

“I wanted to apologize and tell you one last rule that I hate, and one I made up. You are not allowed to be in a room alone with any man or my lesbian aunts. I just..do not want you hurt. The other rule is you are not allowed to tell people no.” He hesitated.

“But I can..cant have…” She began to shake.

“You did not let me finish.” He said, his voice cracking. “You are not allowed to tell them no, but I will allow you to tell me no, I am not as bad as my family. I will not force anything on you unless I have to. Like with that boy, I had to listen.” She watched him. “I had to,” tears began to run down his cheeks. “If I would have told him no.. oh you would have been hurt so so bad. So bad.. like me. Broken like me.” He turned around and lifted his shirt, whip lashes covered his back. She gasped her free hand clasping over her mouth.

“What..what happened?” She asked tracing along the marks.

“I disobeyed my father a month and a half ago, he killed a child. Oh god it was horrible, the poor thing was lost in the forrest. I offered to take him in or find him his family, my father told me I had to kill him. I refused, I could not hurt a child. I just kept seeing Amin or Sydney standing in his place. I couldn’t do it, and I was forced to watch him get slowly dismembered.” His eyes were blown with panic and regret. “He then dragged me back home and tied me to the well in the middle of town and whipped me fourteen times. Each time he made me repeat the rule, we do not say no. We no do not say no.” He started to shake, sweat running down his forehead. He grabbed her free hand from her mouth. “I.. do not want you in my place. They will hurt you, kill you if you misbehave. I I..” his voice cracked.

He let go of her hand. “I have to tell you something.” He backed away hesitantly, he seemed scared of her reaction.

“What..what is it?”

“During my party, they are going to make us bathe in the blood of that boy or whoever their next kill is. I uhmm in the bath.. we will have to. I am going to have to force myself upon you, unless you accept me. You have five days till then, when we do that in the bath.. I will have to be rough unruly. An animal. I do not want that to be your first time, it doesn’t have to be, I am supposed to force myself upon you every night till you just let me but but..” his voice cracked and he dropped to his knees. “I want you to love me not fear me Anika.. I want you to love me.”

She gasped, her knees wobbly. “I want to show you a good first time.. I want to be soft and careful not rough like they want me to be. If I don’t do it like they want they will kill you slowly after every family gets to toy with you.” He was shaking, “I heard them talking, if they would not have let me have you the rapists and killers wanted their fun with you. They wanted to rip you apart slowly after making sure you were good and raped. I couldn’t let them do that, if you and I don’t work out I do not get another girl and you die, painfully.” He held his hands together, his knuckles white and fingers red. He looked up to her tears running down his face.

“I also have to do one more thing, you can tell me whenever but I need to know.. oh god how badly I do not want to do this but do at the same time.” He blocked his ears with his hands and tightened his arms against the side of his face. He had an issue that was phycological she could tell, he looked her over shakily his voice wavering. “They hurt you so bad, if I could bash my dads head in because he made you kill that boy I would, but I cannot. I cannot hurt my family. But your birth parents, oh your birth parents hurt you for no reason. I know you are a good girl, you behave so well. You did not deserve the bruises that litter your beautiful skin, no one else is allowed to hurt you. I would never hurt you if you didn’t deserve it.” He stood slowly cupping her cheek in his hands. “Oh god how badly I want to kill everyone who has hurt you. I never laid a hand on you, not on purpose anyway. You pulled on the handcuffs that was not me, you hurt yourself.. not me. I am here to protect you. Will you at least think about letting us have our first time be in private and be loving, let me be soft. Careful loving. I have my kinks yeah, oh god how much fun it would be to tie your pretty little writs to the bed frame and here you begging me.” He went silent lost in thought, his pants growing tight around his groin.

He gulped and cleared his throat. “However I want to show you I can love you, be soft and careful with you.” He held her tight. She dropped the towel and he stepped back his eyes growing wide and full blown with lust and want. “Oh god you are beautiful.” He had a wide sadistic grin on his face but it was one of admiration. “I will… no.. Will you do a turn for me.” He asked softly. “Please, some things you cannot say no to me on. I really want you to grow comfortable here but honestly if I don’t see you before they all do I am going to be really upset.”

She nodded and slowly turned. “Stop.” He said when she had her back turned to him. She shook and closed her eyes expecting the worse. He slowly made his way towards her, his hand ran up the small of her back stopping at her oldest scar. “Where did you get that?” He asked.

“I got it when I was little, my dad was drunk, stabbed me with a broke beer bottle. Was in the hospital for a week.” She replied softly. He clenched his fist anger flowing through him. Oh god how he wished he could snap the necks of her parents right this second. He handed her the towel “Dress I will be out in a minute. Just need to shower first.” She put her clothes on quickly, he dropped his pants and removed his shirt.

She was frozen with fear and interest. He smirked seeing the hesitation as he pulled off his boxers, her face turned red with surprise as a thick, long, hard rod sprung free. “You like what you see?” He asked seeing her blush, she rushed from the bathroom and closed the door. She heard him laugh as he entered the shower.

What was wrong with her? Why did she hesitate. He thought she liked him, she couldn’t help but gag at the thought of them being tangled in bed together, then she felt her heart start to thump harder and her panties become wet. Oh god she was falling for this psycho.

He left the bathroom dressed in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. He looked modern, handsome. She shook her head. Stop thinking like that. He frowned seeing her shaking, “You alright honey?”

Act like you love him, if you do you get out of here faster. “Yes, uhm so now what?”

“During this week we are locked in my room, we only get out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then we return to the room, its a tradition, a way for us to get to know each other. You learn about me and me learn about you. You learn about our history here.” He kissed her forehead, then her nose, and lastly with passion her lips. “I hope you will be willing to let me have sex with you but I understand if you want our first time to be forced, I do not wish it to be but I will allow you to decide.” He rubbed her arms and kissed her once again. She felt sick, he was serious it would either be allow it to happen or have him rape her. She gulped.

The week went by slowly, everyday the same eat sleep talk, eat sleep talk, eat sleep talk. Whenever he was fast asleep she would try and escape, but it was no use. He talked to himself a lot, she never asked why or what about.

It was the third day locked away. “Their address have you decided to tell me yet?”

“I.. they are my parents I still love them… even after all that.” She was shaking.

He nodded. “I understand, tell me once you are ready for me to do it.” He kissed her again slowly.

He felt is was time she learned about them, why they were cannibals. “It was a long time ago, great great great grandparents long ago.” She looked at him in surprise, he was telling her the story of their history. “The winter blocked all roads in or out to the homestead. Other farmers started to take their crops, steal their food. So my family started to kill people, once they were hungry enough they started eating the people they found. Serial killers lived in the area, my great great great great grandad found out and offered a way for him to not get caught, so they made a pact, and now after many many centuries we have taken in killers and rapists to keep us fed. They kidnapped people to add to the family, at first they killed their daughters, they wouldn’t last through winters but after a while they started to get stronger and lived longer. We kidnap because having sex with your sister is like disgusting.”

That was what he thought was gross, not eating peoples eyeballs. She nodded, it made sense. “People outside of here are corrupt, look at all the rapes and murders never caught or heard about. Sex slaves and human trafficking, incest, all that out there. Your parents abused you but in here you only get punished if you are naughty.”

She realized he was right. People are bad, but that was life. He was no better, but she was an accessory to murder and cannibals. She kept waking up in the middle of the night remembering how it felt to take the boys life, how the meat tasted. She was going crazy, she actually felt safe there with Jace.

She gulped and nodded as he held her close. “I want us to have sex tomorrow night, before the party.” She finally said, her eyes grew wide. Where the hell did that come from? Why would she say that.

He sat up quickly his face covered in shock and interest. “Re.really.. you want to have sex with me?”

“I..” she hesitated, her heart yelled yes while her brain yelled no. “Yes.” She said ignoring the rational side of things, she was stuck here. A few days already felt like a month. He smiled and kissed her carefully, then with more passion.

“I promise you won’t regret this.”
