Something Bigger

   The lady stared at the door and I saw her legs shifted uncomfortably. I had no strength to wonder why only to watch her shiver in fear in a front of a mere door. Whoever that is inside must be the Lord.

  "Is staring at the door part of what I have to do before I get out of here?"

I asked tiredly. She did not move which made me feel unease but before I could speak further I heard a voice from inside the room. There was something about the voice, it felt so familiar. I shook the thought off, my head was probably messing with me

   "You both don't have to stand there, let her in right now"

He barked and I jumped a little. I don't know why his voice sounds so mean and deathly.

   The lady fearful opened the door and stepped aside, I sighed and walked into the most expensive room I have seen in my life. I turned back to look outside the room to make sure I am still in the same building or if I had been transferred into another house unknowingly. 

   Regardless of my state, I was wowed by what I was seeing.

  The room is not like any room I has seen before, it has a huge glass window letting in the light, it's walls were full of paintings in various colours, a grand piano placed near the corner of the room, two chairs on either side of the fireplace, bookshelves filled with books all the way till the ceiling, I walked in slowly admiring the beauty of it all. 

  I heard the door closing and snapped back to see that it was just me and the man. I suddenly turned cold and stood rooted at a spot. The beauty of the room had made me to forget momentarily my plight. 

  I turned and saw the man sitting on one of the sofas in the room with a mask on and a cigarette. I could feel his eyes on me despite the mask he had on. And I was right about his voice being familiar because his features looks familiar too

  "You like what you see" 

He said more like whispering. I gulped nervously and began to move backwards.

  "Hold it right there"

He ordered and I stopped moving immediately. "Not so fast young lady and why do you look like you were saved from drowning. Are you getting on bed with me like this?"

    I shook my head frankly and he smiled"Good, now come have breakfast so that you will have strength to tame me in bed."

  He pointed at a table and I moved quickly towards it as fast as my legs could carry me. The smell of the food made me realize I was so hungry.

   I did not think of anything but the food I had to get into my stomach, maybe when I eat I will have the strength to fight. Remember what they said about being hungry, nothing else will matter until you get your belly fed. I did not care if I was going to die or about my situation after eating, I just wanted to eat and that's what I went ahead to do. 

  I settled down on the chair and imagined what meal that is inside the close dish.

  "You have only five minutes to get done with the food. I did not get all day"

   I heard his voice behind me and I stiffened. He chuckled and retreated his hand that was about touching my shoulder.

  "Now come on, eat quickly. I am on the bed waiting for you."

   I clenched my fist into a ball and with the anger that was bubbling up inside me, I stoop up in lightening and landed my fist on his face. He did not see that coming. 

   I was shocked at what I did and I instantly regretted my action. Instead of him dealing with me for fisting my fingers on his face, he chuckled.

 "The Jenny I know would not give in without a fight. At a moment I thought you were going to sit there and eat the food then afterwards you would come to the bed and make me happy. To be frankly speaking, I was getting scared but now I know I have the right Jenny and you are going to do what I want my way."

   I was no longer hungry but worried about something bigger. His blazing eyes through the mask was enough to burn me. 

  Before I could figure out something to say or do, he had me pinning on the bed, that moment my life shattered. He was going to rape me and I had no strength to fight him. I did not realize worse was yet to come, my life became more shattered the moment the big TV instantly came on. What I saw made my heart jump out of my chest with hot tears flowing effortlessly down my cheeks.
