Chapter Twelve- The Room Full Of His Nightmares

A soft gentle knock on the door broke Allen's trance from his wings, he hears the door knob jiggle and his body instantly retreats into the fetal position. The large wooden white door slowly pushes open and two middle-aged looking women enter the room, they stood side by side each other, both of them spellbind by his beauty.

The two women walk and stopped before Allen and knelt on both knees, bowing forward before their prince. Allen was intrigued by their behavior, but he still held his guard, he was still afraid.

He peeks at the two women through his Carmel locks , his brown eyes examine their bodily features. One was taller and had a red tinted brown colored hair, and the shorter one looked older with her black hair with gray strands here and there. Both of them wore classic maid outfits with the small apron around their waist, it was the only thing giving their body justice as the rest of the outfit hung on them like oversized dresses.

They both were pale, and had round faces, both of them skinny but the shorter one wasn't all that. Their brown eyes held a certain gleam of happiness, though their tattered state, an they looked very cheerful with their charming smiles.

The taller one steps forward and says " my prince, we have been sent to clean you up" without breaking her smile.

" Come come now, we mustn't wait, the council is awaiting you" the shorter one said.

Allen nods and let's them lead him into the adjoining bathroom, on entering the room Allen notices how the old, classical theme fades a little in here, it looked more modern.

The taller woman turns on the water in the shower and the other father's soap, shampoo and towels from the built in cabinet.

" Well let's get started" the taller one said. Allen's eyes went wide when she reached out to touch him, he jumps backwards out of their reach.

Their confused faces only nod and leave the room, " we'll be back in thirty minutes for you" the shorter one said on closing the bathroom door.

After showering, an trying to figure out how to clean his wings, he came out of the bathroom and saw that they had laid clothes for him on the bed.

A black loose fitting tee shirt that he had to pull from under his thin pale legs, then over his shoulders, it was comfortable with the large back opening for his wings, and white pajama bottoms, and a pair of black socks.

To be honest, he's never felt so happy to be wearing quality clothing. He sat waiting on the bed, for the two women to return, he thought to myself.

' I've felt more relaxed here than at home, no one has tried to hurt me in anyway, an they seem as though they want to take care of me ' his mind now focused on the knocking at the door, then it open to the two women from before.

They smiled at him and their eyes linger at his clean blood free wings, admiring how white they were.

" Let's get going now, shall we" the tall one said, both of them still sporting their Cheshire smiles, to be honest, it's getting kind of creepy.

. . .

The three of them walk down the halls, the long white halls, all the way through light was supported by bulbs as the windows had thick dark red curtains draped over. Allen was disappointed, he wanted to see some clear blue skies, it's been a few days since he's been in dark and enclosed rooms.

They took a right then stop in front of a giant wooden double door, the shorter woman walks up and raps on the door, am in unison both sides open.

Allen looks inside as the door slowly opens, his brown orbs fixated on the people inside, his heart beating in his chest.

He was scared, he couldn't see their faces, but rather their masks an he recognizes every one, his nightmares flash in the back of his mind like memories, he sees each of them standing over him, trying to hurt him.

He stood frozen, the doll masked faces stare at him, their body structure told his they were all men.

In the back of the room his eyes pierce onto the old man sitting on a throne like chair the color of the hallway curtains, his mask was more cracked than the rest, and his brown eyes examine the small boy just outside the door.
