Chapter 22
***TRIGGER WARNING***
Michael's P.O.V.
I didn't know what to say. It honestly looked like something out of a horror story. The cuts were so deep. The blood slowly made its way down her neck and into the shirt she had on.
She screamed.
My heart beat sped up and sweat broke out in my forehead. I grabbed her and ran to the bathroom. I popped her down on the counter and frantically searched for the first aid kit in the cabinet. "Daddy *sob* " Mya cried squeezing her eyes shut. "Give daddy a second baby." I said pulling out the first aid kit. I quickly grabbed a rag and ran it under warm water. I lifted it to her cuts and she flinched back. I sighed, "Princess let daddy take care of you." She quickly shook her head, "No daddy *sob* i-it's gonna hurt.." I sighed and crouched down to her level. "Look at me." Her eyes snapped to mine and panic was written all over it. "You wanna kiss." She nodded rubbing her watery eyes. I softly pressed my lips to hers and let it linger. Her body visibly relaxed and she was once again at a calm state.
"Just relax and trust daddy."
She nodded taking a deep breath. I pressed the rag against her cuts being extra careful to be gentle. I dabbed it softly and wiped up the rest of the blood. "Baby let's go upstairs and take a bath to clean up a little ok?" She nodded. "Aladdin come too daddy?" She asked completely forgetting about her pain and fear. I shook my head, "we'll come back for him ok?"
"I want paci daddy" she said pointing to her purple sparkly paci. I shook my head, "not until you say the magic words."
"Pleaseeee" she said smiling brightly. I handed her the paci and placed her on my hip. I grabbed the ointment for her cuts and some band aids and placed the first aid kit back in the cabinet.
Mya's P.O.V.
"Ok princess come on and get in so I can clean you up." Daddy said holding his hand out towards me. I looked at his hand then at the water. I'm not getting in there...
"Baby come on." Daddy said again. I shook my head as thoughts came floating back into my head.
**FLASHBACK**
I knocked on the door. "Come in" master said without moving away from his desk. I opened the big brown door and walked inside. I walked over to master's side and kneeled at his feet so I wouldn't get in trouble.
"What is it number three?" He said not even bothering to look at me. I twitched.
"Master I-I finished cleaning your room a-and making your bed."
He nodded, "good girl."
I flinched when he grabbed my arm and yanked me up from the floor. "Did you eat today?" I shook my head and sighed. "No sir." He grabbed me harshly and plopped me down on his lap so that I was facing him.
"Didn't I tell you to eat something?!" He yelled causing me to whimper in fear. I tried to hold back my cries but I couldn't. He was just so terrifying. Tears fell down my cheeks but I quickly wiped them away hoping he didn't see...but of course he did. That only made him more angry.
He grabbed my face harshly. "What did I tell you about crying?!" I shook my head and buried my face in my hands.
"What did I say?!" He yelled ripping my hands from my face. I cried harder. "Y-You said *sob* You said only b!tches cry." He nodded "exactly and are you a b!tch?" I shook my head, "No." He slapped my butt causing me to cry out in pain. "No what?" I buried my face into his chest to hide the last couple tears that fell. "N-No sir."
I gasped as I felt my lungs collapsing. My eyes widened as I sat up quickly and clutched my chest. Master didn't seem fazed. He sighed, "I'm only giving you one ok?" I nodded just wanting my lungs to stop burning. He grabbed my pump from his draw and shook it. When he placed it to my lips and pressed down on the pump I took in a large amount. I sighed at the comfort. My lungs were calming down but I needed another one. I whimpered as I watched master out the pump back in the drawer. "You're not getting another one" master said.
"Pl-Please sir just one more..." He shook his head. "I said no. You need to learn how to control your breathing." He grabbed my chin gently...which startled me but I knew not to speak. I was getting a little uncomfortable. I reached my hand up and scratched at the ants under my left ear. "Leave the ants Mya. Focus on me...look at me." I twitched as I grabbed master's shirt and buried my face into his neck. I shook my head and whined, the ants were running again.
"Mya look at me. Don't think about the ants just look at me....good girl....now breathe in...good..now breathe out."
We did this a couple of times before I felt my lungs loosen up. This was the first time master was being gentle.
Once I calmed down master spoke. "Now let's talk for real. Why didn't you eat?" I hesitated but then spoke, "they wouldn't let me.." Master grabbed my face and looked me in the eyes. "Who didn't let you?" I sighed, "Alexis. She said I didn't deserve it and she threw it in the garbage."
Master shook his head. "Alexis!!" He called causing me to jump. A few seconds later Alexis came into the room and kneeled. "Yes sir?" Master spoke using his dominant time. "Number three says that you threw her food in the garbage is that true?" Alexis quickly shook her head. "No sir she threw it on her floor so I cleaned it up and threw it away." My jaw dropped, how could she lie like that? My thoughts were cut off as master spoke. "Is that so?" Alexis nodded, "Yes sir." Master nodded, "Ok thank you. You may go."
I watched as she left with a smirk. Once master saw she was gone he roughly pushed me off his lap causing me to fall and let out a loud scream. He stood to his towering height. "So you lied to me?!?!" My heart stopped. I was terrified. He chuckled darkly.
"Take off your clothes."
My eyes widened. He didn't even give me a chance to react. He grabbed me harshly and ripped the clothes off my body. "Pl-Please sir I didn't lie. A-Alexis is lying." He ignored me and dragged me into the bathroom. I don't know how but the tub was already filled to the brim with water. I didn't have time to think....I gasped when I felt his rough hands grab me and toss me into the water. I screamed at the temperature. It was scorching hot. Before I was able to come up and take a breath I felt master's large hands on my shoulders keeping me under the water. I kicked and thrashed around but he wouldn't let go. I kicked and tried to get out of his tight grip but nothing worked. My vision started to blur and my lungs were burning. Right before I passed out, master let go and yanked me out of the tub.
***END OF FLASHBACK***
".....Mya sweetheart" daddy said pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Daddy are you gonna push me under?"☐☐
