Landon got up and walked towards the kitchen and grabbed a small black towel. He pressed it to his head and slowly walked towards the girl. She looked so frightened, her face hidden, body shaking. Landon sat down on the couch but kept his distance. "Hey..Who are you?" He said softly, adjusting the towel on his head.
-
Startled by the noise, she quickly sat up wide-eyed, not really wanting another little "adventure." Looking the guy over, she thought it alright to open up a little. "A-Adrienne...." she mumbled. "Where am I?"
-
Landon gave the girl a small smile, trying to make her feel not as frightened. "I'm Landon. Well..Right now you're in my father's cellar. Why? I have no clue."
He glanced the clock. "All I now is that he will be back in a half hour." -
Ann closed her eyes and hid her face in her knees again. "I just want to go home.." Only after she said this, did she realize how childish it sounded. What the heck? I'm not like this; I have to be strong, for my own sake.. She looked up from her knees and assessed her surroundings. She brushed the hair from her face and put on an indifferent and slightly haughty look. "Is there a window?"
-
Landon raised his eyebrows. "No windows, no doors. Sorry." He got up from the couch and went into the kitchen, still talking. "There's one thing you need to know about my father. Look him in the eye when you talk and don't talk unless you're addressed to. He can be very..rough."
-
She hesitated a minute before getting up and following Landon. "What do you mean.. rough?" In her mind, she was rehearsing her talks with the older man, practicing looking the image in the eye so that when the time came, she wouldn't mess up.
-
"He can be kinda..abusive at times. And I don't know why your here, but I don't want you getting hurt." He reached up and grabbed another plate. "I wasn't planning on making dinner for three, but I'm sure I made plently." He sat the plate on the table and turned, looking down at the girl. "Also my father's a neat freak."
-
Ann dedicated her focus fully on Landon now, keeping her eyes trained towards the floor. She still followed, watching his movements out of the corner of her eye. "Oh...Ah, I don't eat much.. does he hurt you too?"
-
Landon laughed softly. "Don't tell him that. And sometimes.." Landon grabbed three glasses from the cabinet and set them on the table, filling them each with water. He had just put the water jug down when his father came into the cellar. Landon gave him a fake smile. "Good evening, father." Charles smiled and walked towards the two slowly. He sat down in one of the chairs, and Landon did the same.
-
I have to go now. Thank you for the soap :) I will be on as often as I can~
Ann had smiled a little at his first comment, then frowned at the one that followed. When Charles entered the cellar, she looked up at the man, trying her hardest to keep a blank expression and nod. Keeping to Landon's advice, she didn't say anything, and just mimicked his movements. -
Kay. ^~^
Landon had made sure before the food was set on the table perfectly and that everyone had the same amount. Charles frowned at his food. "Landon,why is there a potatoe touching my chicken?" Landon looked down. "I'm sorry, sir. Would you like a new plate?" Charles shook his head and smiled. "Because I am in such a great mood today, I will not punish you." -
I'm baaack..
Ann nodded her thanks at Landon, and couldn't help the shocked look that crossed her face. Punished for a potato touching chicken?? What the hell? She stared at Charles in utter shock and distaste. -
Welcome back~
Charles turned to look at the girl. "Take that look off your face. Now, I am going to explain the rules to you. You are apart of my family now. I will treat you as family if you obey. I will also punish you like family if you disobey. You must take two showers a day, one in the morning and one before bed. You will cook breakfast and dinner for me, and breakfast lunch and dinner for my dear son. And because you are family, I love you. And because I love you, every Friday starting next week I will show my love to you. Understand?" Landon shook his head quickly. "Father-" Before the boy could finish, his father had leaned across the table and grabbed him by the neck. "You do not speak unless spoken to." Charles held his grip on the young boys neck for a few moments before letting go and sitting back down. Landon fell back in his chair, gasping for breath. -
Thank you ^^
Ann's face had quickly turned from shock to horror. The words coming from Charles' mouth were those of a madman, and what he did to Landon...She wanted to reach out and help Landin, but decided against it; what could she do? As Charles spoke, she started to shake in fear, the shivers racking her entire body as she stuttered "C-can I ask a question..?" -
You're welcome .3.
Landon sunk down in his seat, taking a large gulp from his glass of water. Charles narrowed his eyes at the girl. "What must you know that I haven't already told you?" Shoving a piece of chicken into his mouth, Charles continued to glare at the girl. Landon was across the table breathing heavily, his face red, pushing his food around.
