"You will go to the bridal shower that he has prepared," Mrs. Cowell yelled at the skinny girl sitting on the floor covered in blood. She stomped out the room not before telling the servants to clean the girl up.

The servant girls carefully picked the girl up off of the floor and carried her to the bathroom. "She got carried away again," said one of the maids to the other, "today more than any other." She stared at the limp quiet girl they placed in the tub, "if only you had listened to her and not tried to run away again. Did you forget that they placed a tracker in your arm?"

The girl still remained silent as they cleaned her up and doctored her wounds. Quickly they finished dressing her and laid her out on the bed in nothing but a thin nightgown. The serving girls looked at her one last time pitying her before walking out of the room. She stayed laying on the bed for a while longer while she waited for another round of torture.

Finally that dreadful knock sounded loudly through the room. Slowly the door opened revealing a handsome man dressed in a dark blue blazer, "Calliope."
