Lesson One: Darkness lies in my home

I sat on our dining room table barely able to hold in my excitement, today my father was finally going to show me what he does for his Job. I know my relationship with him has not been the greatest, but I hope that today we'd finally get some time to spend together but I can't help the fear that threatens to escape my grasp. I know I shouldn't fear my father but that's all I ever did but I'm hoping today he'll finally be the father I know he can be.

The backdoor slides open and Kenny walks in with an evil glint in his eye "Seraphina I heard you get to see what your father does today, I hope you survive this, or it will all be for nothing"

I didn't really care what Kenny had to say he was scarier than my father. Kenny started working for my father a few years ago and ever since he and my father were very close. They always head into his workshed to do business and never allowed me inside.

"What do you mean?" I ask hoping he wouldn't respond to my deadly response I am already dreading the answer

He gives me a wicked smile "You'll see soon enough, Now come along your father is awaiting your presence"

Fear flows through me but I don't show it, my father always told me don't show emotion to an enemy or they'll use that weakness against you. Right now, I'm hoping the few things he has taught me will be useful in this situation.

"Seraphina, why are you always late?" My father grumbles walking out of the shed and staring directly at me, I wanted to cower away, but I held my ground and continued walking toward my father.

He nods his head toward Kenny and walked back inside the shed, nerves continued to wrack my brain as I continued inside the shed. Kenny opened the door wide, and I was blinded by the bright lights I blinked a few times to adjust to the brightness. Once my vision cleared I looked around the shed. My father turned it into a…..Bedroom? How can he work like this?

The bed is covered in red silk blankets and pillows, and on both sides of the bed, there are side tables with flower vases that had red roses. The path toward the bed was lined with rose petals and the room smelled like a girly girl threw a party and had way too much perfume on.

My father turned toward me with a smirk "This is where I make all the magic happen and you my girl are going to be my new star"

I looked up at him confused and he chuckled "In a few years you'll understand but for now" He looked over at Kenny and nodded "You're going to watch the show"

I sat down like I was told and watched my father set up a camera in front of the bed. It didn't seem like a good place to be recording anything, but my father did things differently than most people did. I turned my head toward Kenny, and he was grabbing girl's clothing off of a rack with a wicked smirk. Turning my head back to my father and watched as he finished setting up the camera

"Kenny send them in," Kenny nodded at my father and headed out the side door, I assumed it led outside, but I could be wrong.

A few minutes later Kenny walks in with two women strapped to his arms, both of them were wearing pink robes.

My father turned toward the women with a pride glint in his eye "It's time for my superstars to show the world why they love you"

The woman chuckled and slowly dropped their robes revealing their naked bodies, Kenny leads them toward the bed and places them down gently on top of it. The woman looks up at him with something strange in their eyes and began making noises. I didn't want to hear them anymore, so I closed my eyes shut and covered my ears. The sounds became muffled, then gone altogether, and after a while, all I could hear was my heavy breathing I forced my eyes open and looked around. Everyone was gone and I was left here in the dark alone.
