Three Brothers, One Lost Light
That Room...
Author✍️
Hope you enjoyed the last one. Enjoy this one too! 😉
Skye opened her eyes and slowly looked around.
Skye
(How am I even supposed to speak when I’m gagged with a towel? I’m so hungry… I haven’t eaten in over eight days. Shouldn’t they at least send a maid to bring me something?)
Suddenly, the only door in the basement creaked open.
Two figures stepped in without saying a word, their footsteps echoing as they slowly made their way down the stairs.
Evil maid 1
Hehehe, what do we have here?”
Evil maid 2
Hah, I didn’t even know we had a filthy rat locked up down here.
Their eyes locked onto Skye with hatred—as if they wanted to kill her on the spot.
Evil maid 1
Why the heck would I be stuck down here with someone like her? She’s not even a normal human being.
Evil maid 1
What should we call her, then? Any ideas?
Skye
(I would’ve given YOU some names TOO—if only I could speak to you… 🙄)
Evil maid 2
Hmm… I think I’ve got one.
They reached the basement floor and walked straight toward Skye.
Evil maid 2
What do you even call an orphan that no one wants?
Evil maid 1
Wait—do we even need to call her anything? She’s just a filthy little thing nobody cares about. Let’s not waste energy on her today.
Skye
(I wish they could hear me right now…)
Evil maid 2
Oh, the little rat wants to talk? (She mocked.)
They stepped even closer.
Evil maid 2
We’ve been ordered to give you some food. I’m going to remove that towel, but if you say a single word, we’ll punish you. (She smirked.)
One of them grabbed Skye by the hair and yanked the towel from her mouth.
Skye
G-Get away from m…m-me!
Evil maid 2
OW! What the hell was that for, you little rat?!
Evil maid 1
How dare you kick her!
Evil maid 1
Let’s go—we have to tell Madam and Master right away.
Evil maid 2
Okay, I’ll lock the door.
They hurried back upstairs to report to Damon and Mara Black—the so-called “Madam” and “Master” of the house.
The door slammed shut, locking Skye inside once again.
They had left food behind—but it was placed far out of reach, almost mockingly.
Skye
I’m hungry… (her stomach growled.)
We now return to the part where the maids are about to report everything to the Madam and Master.
The two maids dropped to their knees.
Evil maid 1
Please, do something about that filthy girl! (She cried.)
Evil maid 2
She doesn’t know her place.
Damon raised a hand dismissively.
Damon black
Stand up, both of you.
They stood up obediently.
Damon sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead.
Damon black
What is it this time? What has she done now?
Evil maid 1
She dared to raise her voice at us,” one maid said quickly. “And she said horrible things about you and Madam.
Evil maid 1
(Hah… Even if she didn’t, they’ll always believe what I say about her.)(She smirked quietly to herself.)
Evil maid 2
She even got violent… she kicked me!
Damon’s expression darkened.
Damon black
WHAT?! She dared to insult me and lay hands on you? She has no respect for this household!
Mara stepped forward, her gaze icy.
Damon black
Honey, what do you want to do about her?
Mara black
Huh… I want her to beg for her life… and then I want her dead.
Mara black
We never should’ve taken her in.
Damon black
We should’ve just left her to die.
Damon black
You two maids, leave now and get back to your work.
The two maids bowed and left the room.
Damon black
Should we just kill her?
Mara black
Isn’t that what you really want?
Damon black
Yes, but shouldn’t we sell her first? We could make some money.
Mara black
Oh, baby, someone as strong as you shouldn’t show any mercy to someone like her.
Damon black
You’re right, honey.
Damon black
You always know exactly what to say.
Damon black
Honey, you’re so smart. 😍
Mara black
I know, baby, I know. 🥰
Damon black
I’ll take care of it right away.
Damon black
Guard! Come inside!
The door slowly opened, and a man stepped in.
Guard
Hello, Master. You called for me?
Damon black
Yes, I need you to take care of something for me.
Guard
Of course, Master. What is it?
Damon black
You know that rat in the basement?
Damon black
I want you to take her to that room.
Guard
Of course, I’ll do it right away.
The guard left immediately, already on his way to take the girl to that room.
—a place no one ever returns from.
Behind that door lies a torture chamber.
No one who has entered has ever come out alive.
Everyone in Mara’s and Damon’s household calls it simply that room.
Well back to the guard’s thoughts:
Guard
(This isn’t a place suitable for a child. I wonder why Master wants her taken there. But I’ll just do my job.)
He walked down the hallway but stopped outside the basement door.
Guard
(Fuck, why do I have a bad feeling about this?)
Guard
(Better just get it over with.)
He opened the door and stepped inside.
Guard
Hello, little girl. I want you to come with me, (he said with a forced smile.)
Skye
Don’t wanna, (she whispered.)
Guard
Oh, sorry, but it doesn’t matter what you say. It would just be easier if you came quietly, (he replied with a smirk.)
Guard
Argh, come on, get up. I’m done playing nice, (he growled.)
He grabbed her roughly, unlocked the chains, and dragged her up the stairs to a different basement.
Guard
Shut up, (he snapped.)
He shoved her into the cold, dark room and slammed the door shut behind her.
She sat down and then slowly lay down on the cold floor, trembling.
She was scared and didn’t know what to do.
Skye
Please, someone help me… Hear me…
Suddenly, she froze. Footsteps. Loud and clear, approaching. There was nowhere to hide in this room.
Skye
(No, no, no! What do I do?)
She was paralyzed with fear.
The door slammed open with a loud bang.
Damon black
Well, well, well, look who we have here.
Damon black
The filthy rat who should have been gone long ago.
He grabbed her with one hand, tied her to the wall, and picked up the largest whip he could find.
Then, he started striking her with it.
Skye
Arg!…OW!! PLEASE STOP…
Damon black
Shut your filthy mouth!!!
He paused. Blood trickled down her body.
Skye
…hic…hic! Please stop, please…
Skye
(My body can’t take this—)
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Guard
Master, it’s me. May I come in?
Guard
Madam is asking for you.
Damon black
Yes, come in.
He opened the door and bowed.
Guard
The madam is asking for you.
Damon black
Close the door and lock it so she won’t get out.
Damon walked over to his wife.
Damon black
Honey, what is it?
Mara black
Someone knocked and wants to see you.
Mara black
What do we do?
