| "I told you she took over me once." "You're talking crazy Simone." "Were you in the same room as Howie here?"she looked at Kelly in disbelief."You of all people. I thought you were my friend." "I am your friend but I still think you're using that book to guide your life and you just conjured up this posession shit so you don't have to deal with the reality of it all." "Now hold on just a second Kel,"Howie interrupted."If that was Simone Kelly, how do you explain her knowledge of me telling Age about her and Kevin?" "You told him?" "That's not important right now." "The hell it isn't. I wanna know how you found out?" "Remember the day he threw Marie in your face?" "Oh thank you for bringing that up." "You wanna know how I found out or not?" She rolled her eyes."Continue." "I was passing by the mixing room when I overheard Brian and Kevin talking. Kevin kinda revealed that he was in love. Didn't take a genius to figure out who he was talking about." "Then why are you here now?" "Read your book lately?" "Oh dear God he is using it against me." "Yeah." "I'm so sorry you got caught up in this mess." "Don't worry about it. Just remember, I can help you out of this mess." "Just like you did before?" "Not fair Simone. I'm on your side." "Don't do me any favors okay?" "I don't like the way he treated you either Simone but it has to stop. You have to be the one to do it too." |
| "Do you wish to see tomorrow Master Colin?" Lord Alixandre bellowed; his voice echoing throughout the catacombs of the castle's walls. Master Colin had been shackled amongst the cold damp walls upon the sturdy wooden stakes upon Lord Alix's vain attempt at controlling the situation. "I only wish to see a thousand tomorrows if they are to include Lady Symonne," he returned, knowing he would be well punished for his remark. "I see that you do not,"he said nodding toward the guard. The leather tails stung sharply upon the skin of his chest repeatedly. Colin suffered steadily through the pain and met with Alixandre's steel gaze. "You carry such a burden for the love of my wife Master Colin. For you will never know of the softness of her bare skin pressed against yours in the midst of the night again. Nor will she ever know the pleasures of the human flesh for the remainder of her days for you brought this upon her." "You will never know of what pleasure her body holds for you know not of it's passion. And you will never know the joy of her love for she does not carry any for you." "I do not need her love." "Then what is it you punish her for Lord? For your own mere pleasures? For the fact that you know she will never love you as she has loved me?" |
| "Silence!"he demanded."Take him away from me and see that he is not tortured further today. The evidence upon his body shall be reminder enough." As Master Colin was taken back to his cell Alixandre knew he spoke of the truth but damned be he the one that speak it. He would truly not know of what torture was before the week's end. Lord Alixandre ascended the stairs and made his way toward Lady Symonne's quarters. He unlocked the door to find Master Henry pulling his shirt over his head and Symonne at her dressing table stroking the brush through her golden locks against the red satin dressing robe."Give us a moment would you my boy?"Alixandre nodded for him to wait outside the room. He closed the door behind Master Henry and made his way toward Symonne."Did you do as I requested?" "Why do not take the liberty to find it yourself as you did so last time?" "Because I trust you have learned from your previous error." She rose to meet the cold glare still held in his gaze."As I have. What have you done with Master Colin?" "That need be none of your concern Milady." "Do not lay a hand upon his body or I will take your life myself." "I see you have not learned your lesson. Perhaps a day in the dungeon would change your demeanor." "Perhaps true love would lessen such callousness upon your soul." " I do not need love." "But you have it." "I do not. And I am not here to speak of myself, I come to gain assurance that our young guest received of what he was promised." "Regretfully so Milord but I did not love him as I have so been loved,"she lied. "Then you shall stay imprisoned without nourishment for the day Milady,"he stated and headed toward the door."As for Master Colin,"he turned toward her,"He is being served with a horrific reminder of what is not to be said of your love in my presence. I suggest you take head in my words for I shall impress upon you such tortures if need be." "No!"she screamed to the slamming door. She sunk to the frigid stone floor in tears. Dear God! What had become of her dear, sweet Colin at Alixandre's hand? How could the Lord above create such a horrendous creature that he could not feel love? She knew of his weakness though. MasterHenry had revealed her identity in the many hours they were forced to share. For that she was thankful for Alix would weaken eventually if disquised correctly. |
