Signed in blood

When I woke up, I found myself in a totally dark room. All the curtains in the room pulled together to keep the light I noticed as I sat up in the bed. I took off the covers and made a move to get out of bed but my body was reluctant to leave the feeling of comfort and luxury of the bed. I finally made it out of the warmth and walked to pull the curtains apart. Curiosity getting the best of me. I stood there staring at the night sky and admiring the view I had from above.

“You’re up” A voice said, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned around to find the man that had saved me from the anger of the waves, sitting on a couch on the other end of the room, legs crossed just staring at me. I tried to recollect the events of the previous day as I watched him.

“*Give me your life. Since you don’t want it, just sell it to me. All you have to do is just be a doll. Stay at my side and I will provide anything you want whenever you want.” 

“Are you sick?” I asked incredulously. 

“I didn’t even ask you to save my life. I was ready to die”. I wanted to pull out my hair out of frustration with this stranger.

“That’s not my problem doll. I saved your life for my benefit not yours”

“Your benefit? Do you have any idea how sick you sound right now?” I was just confused by the whole conversation going on. This was not the era for slave trade why the hell would he want to but a human doll out of all the things in the world.

“You stop me from jumping off a bridge because you want a human doll? You don’t look like someone who has trouble picking up girls. I’m not even interested in your deal anyway leave me alone.” I said to him and turned to start walking away but I felt my body get heavier with every step I took then I couldn’t move anymore. My chest tightened and I couldn’t help but struggle to breath.

“I would have you one way or the other. It doesn’t matter how but if I want you, I’ll take you”

“Just leave me alone dammit” I demanded. I really didn’t want to be around this creep anymore. He just seemed like a rich man looking for a ********** the way he kept asking me to be his doll. Struggling to move my limbs but still finding it impossible I just relaxed and watched his face contort with an arrogant smile when he realized I had already stopped fighting my current predicament.

“Done fighting he asked me with the stupid smile on his face letting me know he had won this round. Let’s start again from the beginning. I want your life since you want to end it.”

“What would my life benefit you anyway? I’m dirt poor in dept and just got dumped” I stated plainly. The audacity of this man to want a human doll was just sick to me. I didn’t even understand why he would want to bother with me out of all the billions of people in the world.

“Is that why you wanted to jump off the bridge. You humans are so narrow minded. Just because of a few setbacks you try to take your life to relieve yourself of burden?” he scoffed at my reasons and I felt the anger in me surge from the pits of my stomach. I know my way wasn’t the best way to handle the situation but hearing him mock me just made me want to curse him to hell. I gritted my teeth and refused to look at him. He could mock me all he wanted, I was weak and I wasn’t going to deny it to put up a fight he would easily win.

“Let me guess the boyfriend was the last straw? Why did he dump you? Fell in love with another or just wasn’t happy being with an unaccomplished woman like yourself.?” His questions were bringing my blood to a freaking boil as I heard the mockery in his tone. I wished I could stab him over and over until he bled out on the fucking floor for the ground to soak it up.

“Who the hell do you think you are to be judging me?! Look just let me go. I don’t know whatever demonic shit you’re using to keep me here but I don’t like you, I don’t trust you and I just want you to disappear from my sight.” I said I was tired. The fight is gone. His judgment weighed me down because he was honest but worst of all I felt less of myself because I had fallen so low*.

*I stood there before him. my knees shaking as he just looked at me as if I was an exhibit. His smile never wavering as he looked at his watch ticking on the wrist of his left hand then he looked at me as if telling me that time was running out. I didn't want to be a doll for some strange man I didn't know and I didn't want to be under his control. I took a deep breath looked at him and decided my fate.

"Sorry to disappoint but I can't take the deal you're offering me". i could tell he was not happy with my answer by the way his eyes glazed over with mirth as he looked me in the eye and said" silly girl - what made you think you had a choice?" His ivy tone sent chills down my spine. The pressure on my body was reducing and my hopes went up thinking it was over but that hope came crashing down again when I felt an arm go numb and blood flow down my arm. I looked at my arm and my eyes rolled back*.
