24 - Dear Diary

**Aurora POV**

*One week later*

Dear Diary,
Well, not quite sure how to do this if I am being honest with myself. Never had a diary growing up, but Autumn (she’s the head housekeeper) said it may be good to write down my feelings and keep track of what is going on. I have been delaying writing in here thinking it is so stupid.

It’s not like I have anything better to do these days, since I am literally chained to a bed! Yeah, I was shocked too when I first learned that too. Might as well do something to keep me from losing my mind.

After I passed out from what happened in the maze, I apparently was asleep for almost 2 whole days! I woke up in the same room as I did the last two times I woke up. I have been told that this room is now “mine.”

When I woke up, I was very tired and felt like I was hit by a truck. There was luckily pain killers and water on the nightstand. I’m so glad there was because my throat felt like sandpaper. My head was throbbing too. No note this time.

I instantly broke down in a sobbing mess when I remembered Brianna. And I can be such an ugly crier, like gobs of snot running down my face and loud obnoxious wailing ugly crying. But it was worth it. I had to mourn for my best friend. She didn’t deserve it. But now that it has been a few days, I am actually grateful. She is at peace now and she doesn’t have to be hurting anymore. They can’t take her away from me completely. I know that now. She will always be me.

Well, that first day I spent quite a bit of time just laying in bed. When my tears dried up, I finally found the strength to head to the bathroom. I just crossed to the other side of the bed when my foot was yanked behind me, stalling my movements. That’s when I noticed I was cuffed at the ankle and the chain was connected to a metal hook in the floorboards right by the bed post. Luckily the cuff was padded and there was a small black padlock keeping me from being able to remove it. Even crazier, upon examining the padlock, it required a code AND a key. Sophisticated bastards.

I remember being frustrated and then getting an insane urge to pee. I wanted to take a scolding hot shower in an attempt to rid myself of the disgusting memories. I wanted to brush my teeth and brush my matted, greasy hair. I wanted to change out of the super slutty silk pink and lace negligee that barely covered my ass cheeks.

I began to yell out for help asking if someone could let me out to use the bathroom. Then I remembered that the room was most likely soundproof from what I remembered when I left the last time. Last time! I completely forgot again and then remembered the panel on the wall and made my to it. Luckily, I could reach the button, but barely. It probably looked like I was doing an intricate arabesque, but I could still reach it with the tips of my fingers.

I pressed the button; the panel came out and I came across the housekeeping button. I hit the call button and waited.

I was hoping for another message but instead a got a good little scare when someone’s voice came over the intercom.

“May I help you?” a sweet older voice said.

“Um yes, please!” I began to say. I was feeling nervous but that urge to pee suddenly returned and my boost of confidence came with it. “Um, I really need to go to the bathroom. Could you please ask someone to release me?”

There was a very uncomfortable long silence. I was feeling deflated and then I heard “someone is coming.” And then the line went dead.

A few minutes later, an older woman, maybe in her mid-60’s came bustling in. She was short, like 5’3’’ max, a bit stocky, grey hair with a tinge of red was pulled neatly in a tight bun behind her head, freckles littered her small face, and she had a big sweet smile. She reminded me of like Mrs. Patmore from Downton Abbey. She was wearing a long black dress and had a huge set of keys dangling from her hips. Along with her came two armed guards that stood by the open door.

She introduced herself to me as Autumn and told me she was the head housekeeper. She then shooed the guards outside, telling them it wasn’t proper for them to watching me like I was chocolate pie. When they tried to tell her that they had orders from the boss, she sassed them and told them “if you want to eat for the next week, you better do what I say boys. Better yet, I’ll happily take my shoe and give you a good lesson on manners! I can make sure you don’t shit for the next month and don’t have a bed to sleep in for the next two! NOW SHOO!” The look on the guards’ faces was priceless. The two giant beast looking men who could probably crush our skulls with their bare hands were actually petrified of this tiny sassy woman.

She was my new favorite person, ever! I was stunned speechless and once they left, I couldn’t help but laugh and I made sure to tell her just that! I mentioned how Brianna would love to meet her and then I cried. Sobbed actually. She gave me a big grandmother hug and told me to stop ruining my pretty face with ugly wet tracks. She told me to sit on the bed quickly and raise my leg. She quickly swiped the code on the dials and then put a small little key that looked like a toothpick in the lock. The click of the opened lock was music to my ears.

She told me to take my time and freshen up and she would have food delivered and ready when I was done.

I practically ran into the bathroom. Oh my goodness I had never been so happy to go to the bathroom than I did in that moment. I took my time and took a hot shower. There was so much steam, I could have sworn I was in a cloudbank. When I stepped out of the shower, there was a warm fluffy towel waiting for me next to the shower door and I saw some clothes on the counter. Luckily it was a light pink long sleeve shirt, black leggings, super plush fuzzy pink socks, and luckily comfortable white satin undergarments instead of the scratchy lacy thongs I had been forced to wear.

I got dressed and when I came out, Autumn was sitting on the sofa, texting on her phone, a book on the coffee table in front of her. There was a tray of food on the bed. I thanked her and sat down next to the tray. There was a bowl of vegetable soup, a huge ham sandwich with at least 20 pieces of sliced ham, cheese, tomato, and lettuce on a toasted kaiser roll. I was salivating.

Autum came over and handed me the book. It was a brown leather-bound book, but it did not have anything on the cover. It was this diary. She told me to write what is going on and so here I am.

It has been 5 days since I woke up. All 5 days, I have not seen any of the guys. Only Autumn comes to visit and brings me meals. She stays while I eat, and we have started talking a bit. I learned that the guys left for a business trip the day I woke up. Sadly she has to keep the chain on my ankle unless I am in the bathroom. When she leaves, the guards come in and make sure it is secure.

Autumn is really nice. Rachel was assigned to another part of the house staff, and I had asked Autumn to give her my sincere apologies. I mean, it was wrong for me to do what I did, but can you blame a girl for trying?

Anyway Diary, I have been sitting here for 5 days sleeping, eating, and mainly watching TV. Autumn pulled a few books from the bookshelf, and they are sitting on the bedside table. I am so happy that I haven’t seen any of the guys yet, but I have had a lot of time to think.

Escaping now will be close to impossible. I have realized that. But if they think killing my one and only friend is going to make me submit to them, they are wrong! But it doesn’t mean I can’t piss them off and have some fun while I am here.

And I think I know just what I am going to do too. I will definitely be “punished”, a lot actually. Do I care? Nope! It will be so worth it though. Brianna is going to be so proud. Now, I just need to get out of these chains…
