Chapter 8 - 15 years old

[TW: Rape]

After waking up I saw myself on the couch the roof had a mirror and the bed was white and wide and fluffy, the place is minimalistic but you can still see a hint of gold,

I saw my hand with shackles,

"Yeah, maybe this is my punishment",

When I heard someone approaching I immediately act asleep,

Then someone came into the room I believed it was the duke because of the clacking sound of his shoes and his hummings were echoing through the room as if he was in a good mood, I pretended to sleep wanting to not face him,

"I know you're awake",

He said and I sat up facing the front of me, instead of him on my right side,

"Are you wondering where you are right now?",

He asked me,

"...",

I didn't respond,

"Well, I guess you won't ask me, but this is your new room, and the room next door is mine, so you don't have to worry if you need something just knock on my door",

He said as if he was being insensitive to what had happened yesterday,

"Oh, I also brought the picture I painted yesterday",

He took something on his side and it was a canvas with my picture struggling with two men however it looks to be different from what had happened yesterday,

"Do you like it? I named it 'the crime of a men'",

The picture looks like two men doing outrageous things while a woman was underneath them, it describes a rape crime,

He said the title as if he was being artistic on that side,

"you know you have a really good impression in that time, it looks as if you wanna kill the people who did wrongdoings towards you",

Duke said mindlessly chattering and completing me,

Why is this guy acting like this?

I did not have any sort of reaction to my face, and I heard him click his tongue,

"Tsk",

Shortly after he changed to another topic,

"Have you ever wondered what your sister's last words were?",

Duke said waiting for Pia's reaction, it took a slight twitch as she had felt like there was something wrong with the situation,

"It was, something like this 'don't put my sister onto this' she said while my men slash her on the neck",

Pia twitched from anger, as she approach the duke so fast, that she wanted to choke him, however, the shackles in her hands forbid her from doing so,

I was again angry while pulling my hand from the shackles trying to each the duke, and then I saw the duke pull his pencil and paper right away,

He started drawing me with a smile,

"You know it's my first time to have a very violent model who still looks beautiful even if they have a fierce face, you look like a wild cat",

He said while continuing drawing, I was still focused on getting angry with the duke,

"Yeah, you are different from your sister, did you know? Your sister lost her emotions right after I started drawing her in a very artistic way",

I know he meant drawing her while naked,

"I wonder why she started having that blank face, no light in her eyes, a very pale lips, no tears, no smiles- it was like a dead person on picture, well needless to say someone still bought the picture on a very small prize",

Duke said,

"Yayoi we're selling the pictures?!",

I asked him angry wanting the answers,

"Oh, I haven't told you, whenever I paint pictures I sell it to every auction, of course not everything I only sell the ones that still have an empty feeling in them, "

I felt helpless I lost my anger at that time, and what I felt next was wanting to cry as to how my pictures has been shown by many people,

"Hey keep getting angry I am still not finished with the pict-"

He stopped mid-sentence, after seeing me cry,

"Hey, why are you crying?",

He approaches me rubbing the tears in my eyes, what's with him? Suddenly being a good person?

"W-why are you doing these to many children like me?"

I said,

"I mean, "

He stood up, grabbing my hair,

"Isn't it a waste if people don't see beautiful things in their life?",

"I'm an artist and it is my job to please people's eyes with my drawings,"

I started crying,

He then grabbed my chin tight while I was trying to push him away,

"You are the most beautiful subject I've ever taken off",

He pushed me down the bed, and started to do malicious things to me, tearing my clothes off while I was struggling, crying from his grasp, he was however so strong for a kid like me who had a shackle,

He was forcing his way to me, every move he made took a lot of bleeding, I wasn't able to do anything but cry,

"I wish I can take this scene and hang it in my gallery",

Crying as the day kept going he never stopped he kept doing it, I was all dirty and I wanted to clean myself up,

Huff puff we were both exhausted, he then stood up started putting his clothes on and left, this incident will leave with a lot of scars and I will never be able to forget this incident,

I was 15 at that time.

maids came in, They took me who was unable to stand and was so scared, they wrapped me with the blanket and held me up towards the bathroom, they couldn't look me in the eyes,

As they put me in the bathtub they then left me there, I was looking at myself in the reflection of the water,

I cried all over the bathtub and the blood was tainting the bathtub red,

"I am so dirty",

I started scrubbing my skin cleaning every part of me was touched by that monster,

Then suddenly three maids came in hearing me crying, they helped clean me up, and I wanted to stop crying in from of them, knowing they are working for the duke,

"We are sorry, we cannot help you from the duke"

One of the maids said, instead of me dripping from crying, it made me cry louder as I know these people are trustworthy,

Pia was bedridden after the incident the duke called a doctor and they did a check on her, seeing a lot of bruises and a burning body, the doctor realized that pia was having a pain in her stomach,

The doctor took the blanket off and saw bleeding on her below, and the once white bed has been tainted by blood,

"May I ask the duke to leave?",

The duke surprisingly left, following the doctors' order,

A doctor is an old man who knows the duke's secrets,

"I never thighs will lat a hand on one of his art subjects",

The doctor called for maids,

"Can you bring me a wet towel and a cup of hot water?",

The doctor said,

"Yes doctor"

The maid left following the orders and the doctor hurriedly came inside the roll. Making pia have a more comfortable position for her sleep,

Pia opened her eyes slowly?, no I don't wanna model for the duke today, she thought it was the head maid, Olivia, waking her up so that she can model for the duke,

"No, the young lady you will have a long rest for today and I will make sure to talk to The duke",

Pia saw that it was a different person and he had a comforting tone of voice, she fell asleep with relief and longer than she had ever felt.
