Chapter 17
As consciousness returned to Penny, her eyes opened in a haze filled view where it took her some time to adjust to her current environment . She looked at the top of the bed's ceiling made of redwood, glass fixed above it where she could see her reflection . She looked unrecognizable or rather in a state which she hadn't imagined her to be in .
The bedposts that were carved in certain design were covered with silk-like curtains that twirled around on all four . Feeling a breeze that came through the open window, her body shivered in the cold . Getting up with an aching head that felt heavy, she looked around the lavish room that looked nothing less than a king's room .
Two chandeliers hung on each side of the room distributedly, tall candles burnt brightly, enough for the room to have light along with the fireplace that had logs of woods added into it with much of ashes, as if it were cleaned moments ago .
Her body was covered in the softest blanket she had ever had the pleasure to even touch, the pillows fashionable making one think of nothing less to butter that melts in one's mouth . The window which was open was at the right, the curtains softly blowing in as the wind moved in the room . Looking at the architecture of the room, she doubted this could be where she was staying . A servant of the house or a slave who was bought from the slave establishment was never allowed to this kind of privilege .
Penny wanted to step out of the bed, wanting to go to the bathroom but just as she tried to move her legs so that she could place them on the carpeted floor, she felt something around her ankle . Moving the thick quilt away from her body she saw her leg being bound to one of the bedposts .
Suddenly the door to the room opened, which had been closed and she saw the Damien step inside the room alone . His eyes catching sight of her awakened self, he said,
"Humans are fragile creatures . If you hadn't escaped from me, you wouldn't have fallen sick . You should be careful how you treat yourself," he walked to her with languid movements, his eyes fell on her ankle . Putting his hand into his pocket, he pulled out the key and unlocked the chain from the bedpost but didn't make an effort to remove the anklet attached to the chain .
"If you had let me free-"
"Oh, are we still on it?" Damien's eyes twinkled as they looked at her . The girl's hair looked like a mess where her hair stuck around, her eyes smaller than usual due to the fever she had caught in the rain, "If you speak about it again, I won't think twice before taking you to the establishment to make sure you get the mark that you were meant to have before being sold .
Penny wasn't the type of girl to go back answering everything a person said but she wasn't the kind to keep quiet when she felt she was wronged . But then, she wasn't stupid to cross over the lines which had been put around her . Not when the hawk was looking at her without blinking . With her energy drained she stopped and decided not to speak to him .
Unexpectedly, the vampire placed his warm hands on her burning forehead .
Penny's eyes, which had been dull, suddenly came to life at her mere touch . She looked into his eyes that stared into hers . "You are burning," he murmured .
"I need to go use the bathroom," she said, unable to hold in the urge to pee, "Please," she added looking away from him .
"Hmm . Go on," seeing Damien not move from the place he sat, Penny scrambled on the bed with the chain softly making noise, reminding her of her current situation . The long-chain jingled once she stepped down on the floor and dragged her feet to the bath, which was three steps away from the bed .
