The Dark Room
Leah
Really... hmm..... you don't look quite sorry though
Elena
*begs on her knees* I am sorry I will never make this mistake ever again
Leah
How can I believe that you won't repeat your mistake again
Leah
Ah yes *wears a fake expression of realization*
Leah
You won't forget to properly clean my desk next time if I give you a proper punishment now
Elena
*shivers and continues sobbing*
Leah
Hey you head maid! Bring me my whip!
Head maid
*hesitates before handing her the whip* *whispers in a low voice* Mam please do it in moderation it would be troublesome if she were to die here
Leah
*angrily glares at her* You dare command me!
Leah
If you are feeling so concerned for this wench then why don't you join her?
Head maid
*withdraws back in fear*
It was a regular occurrence in the McClair house
Contrary to her angelic appearance, the eldest daughter of the McClair house had the disposition of a demon
Elena was hired as the scapegoat for the first daughter of the house Leah to take her anger out upon
After all, it was better to harass an employee who had no family backing her up than an employee whose family might report the mistreatment to the authorities
Not that it mattered, after all the McClair were one of the most powerful households
But it did save them from unnecessary troubles
To Leah, Elena was just a reusable toy
And to the employees of the house, Elena was an invisible entity who was an offering to appease the temper of the lady
Elena
*sobs on the floor because she is too injured to stand up*
Leah
*Spits* Hah! You ungrateful wench! Because of you I had to use my own hands to do such crude things you should be thankful that I myself disciplined you
Elena knew that if she didn't express her 'gratitude' for the so called 'kindness' that Leah had bestowed upon her, the punishment would continue on
Elena
*says in a small voice while trembling* Tha-thank you miss
Leah
I still don't sense enough sincerity
Elena
*looks at her in horror*
Leah
Maybe I will be a little lenient with you this time since I am so merciful
Leah
Head maid! Lock her up in the punishment room and only provide her water for two days
Leah
*looks at Elena with a twisted smile* After all you must stay alive to serve me
Elena
No! No mam I swear I will do my best! Please don't lock me in that cursed room
Leah
*shouts to the maids*What are you waiting for! Drag her there!
Out of all the punishments that Elena was subjected to Elena hated to be in the dark punishment room the most
It may seem like a better punishment that all the other things that she had to deal with, but there was something grossly ominous about that room
Whenever she entered that room she felt like someone was watching her and all the energy inside her seemed to be sucked out of her
This was however, not the worst part
She would hallucinate gruesome things when locked up in that room
She would hear screams that didn't belong to any of the employees
After entering this house, her sanity was the only thing that was left intact, but this room seemed to be greedy for that as well
She was scared to be inside that room for even a single moment for fear of losing her sanity
Elena
*as she is dragged by the maids* No! Please no! Have some mercy!
Head maid
*looks at her pitifully* I am sorry Elena we have no choice we don't want to be punished for disobeying the lady's commands
Elena was thrown into that room and the door closed
