Ophelia's POV

I wake up feeling slightly better. I get up and go into the bathroom, lock the door and step into the shower. The hot water touching my skin is heavenly.

I get out and wrap a towel around my body and walk out of the shower.

The first thing I notice is that my clothing has been replaced with the only red dress I own, having no choice in the matter, I put it on and walk towards a mirror that I bought with Barry, because he said "a pretty lady like you should be able to admire herself." I refused but he bought it anyway. The dress is way too short for my liking.

The door bangs open and in steps Barry looking me up and down, a statified grin etches onto his face.

"I told you that it would look good on you hun."

I flash him a small smile but still pull my dress down as far as it goes.

He chuckles and grabs my hand.His face suddenly turns serious.

"I am sorry. What happened that day at the pool should have never happened."

I flinch and he grabs me and hugs me.

"It is going to be fine. I promise."

I nod into his chest, realizing that he can't see that, I speak up.

"I hope." He chuckles and I can feel the vibration.His laugh sounds hot.

No! He's your kidnapper don't feel affection for your enemy!

"He glances at me and appears to be in some sort of daze.

"Rose."

Who is Rose?

"Barry?" I ask him gently.He snaps out of his daze and his eyes widen in shock.

"Sorry!" He says and the hands that previously gave me some security now throw me back.

My back hits the wall and I grunt.Tears well up in my eyes and I cower in the corner.

He realizes what he has done and he swiftly moves towards me.

"Go away!" I shout, he ignores my comment and takes me into his arms, carrying me bridal style towards another room.

He softly lays me down onto the bed and sits next to me.

"I must seem like a horrible person."

I don't move and just pray that he goes away.

He doesn't.

He lays down next to me and his hands ghost around my torso.I shiver and swat his hand away.

He's getting anxious,suddenly he grabs my shoulder and flips me over causing me to face him.

Tears are threatening to fall and when he looks at me, I finally burst into tears. He gently strokes my back but it only causes me to hyperventilate.

The voices invade my head and keep screaming at me, they all sound like my mother.

Black spots dance around in my vision and I black out for a moment, when I open my eyes, Dennis is shaking me and screams my name.

Air finally enters my lungs and I can feel myself relax.

"I am so sorry." He says in his rough voice. I clamp onto him like it's the last thing I have.

He hugs me and even though it is awkward, I can feel my heart beating out of my chest.

"Ophelia."

I look up at him.

"None of us intend to hurt you. The beast didn't know. I met him and he understood. Everyone wants to apologize to you for hurting you."

"I understand. But, I can't just get over it Dennis. It is something that hurt me in the past, the beast's actions caused it to resurface again even after all the effort it took to supress it." My lip trembles and he shushes me.

"We will help you. I can help you. But you need to trust us."

I nod. "I will."

I realize that I am a puppet, he is controlling me like a puppet and there is nothing I can do about it.

"Good. Now, I need to tell you something and don't get mad. There are going to be a few more people in here, try to be nice. You will share a room with one girl and one boy. Patricia decided that. And know that if something happens just call for me."

My eyes drift to the sheets.

"I understand." What is he going to do with those people? Claire and Marcia got away safely.

"Can I go to my room?"

"Of course. You can stay here if you want." Something tells me that I won't be sleeping alone then.

"No. Sorry." He offers me a small smile and shows me to the door.

"Just walk straight ahead."

He's not going with me?

"Goodnight." He says."Goodnight" I say.

He closes the door and I walk straight ahead untill I notice two doors. They aren't locked.

I open one and I cover my mouth and burst into tears.

In there is Marcia, half eaten, eyes staring straight ahead.

I fall down onto the ground and kick the door so it closes.

Is that what is going to become of me?

Am I prey?
