Chapter 9: He Really Scares Me!

Maisie's POV:

I once again tried to focus on the wires as I followed the wires with my eyes. They were connected to several different strange boxes that were hanging in the air with a metal pole that went through them. Was this what I was going to be punished with next? Was this the next kind of punishment I was about to get? I wake up in a room I have never been in before only to get punished by lightly colored boxes connected to wires?! What were these different strange boxes with wires anyway? Was this some kind of a trick I was being forced to endure on top of my punishment earlier? Or was my mother having the Master do this as a different form of punishment? Or could this somehow be the doing of whoever that big scary man was and had brought into the room? He really made me feel in my place.

However, I remember when I tried to look at Him earlier in the presence of Master and my mother. When I looked at Him, He walked toward me. After that moment, I could not remember anything else from before. I guess this all must be His doing. The Master and my mother brought in someone else to take care of me, to fill the rest of my days with this new kind of punishment. They must have been tired of dealing with my failures. This could be the only reason that makes sense to me. Was this new punishment going to be an electric shock? Is that what those boxes were connected to the wires for?

It was then that I noticed there was a sound. It was the sound I was hearing earlier before I was able to open up my eyes. Only this time the sound was going a whole lot faster. What did that mean? Did that noise mean the punishment was about to begin? The more I focused on the noise, the faster and faster it got. Before I knew it, the door around the corner burst open and several people started swiftly coming into the room and rushing toward me. This was it. My new punishment was about to begin, I knew it.

I tried to move so I could sit up and that was when I saw Him, the big scary man. He came into the room with everyone else, none of whom I had ever seen before. Just then I made a costly mistake, and I could not help it. It just slipped out. As I opened my mouth in shock, I whimpered as I sat up and tried to move further away from them. Everyone stopped as they all looked at each other. Great, I was about to get it now for sure. They all started to come close to me faster so I could not get away. Well, not that it was an option as I was connected to these different wires. What was I going to do?

I looked at one person who was standing on one side of where I was laying and they seemed to speak to someone else as they reached out and grabbed my arm. What were they saying? Why couldn't I hear them speak? All I could hear was that sound that was ever so fast now. When that one person grabbed my arm, I whimpered once again as I could not help the pain that I felt in my arm when she grabbed me. If there is one thing I could not hear before, it was the one person speaking to someone on the other side of me. I did not know what to do.

I was being grabbed by my arm which made me cry out in pain as I tried to pull away slightly. It was after she grabbed me that I certainly heard something at that point. It was the same growl I heard back in the presence of Master, back in the darkroom at the lower level of the dungeon. However, now I can hear everything and then no one decided to speak. That one loud and scary growl was loud enough that it seemed to shake even the place where I was sitting. At that point, no one moved, not even me.

"Your Highness, would you please try to keep her calm?" The woman asked who had grabbed my arm and then let go at the sound of the scary big man's growl. "She is having a panic attack. I need to give her something to help calm her down. She is obviously panicked and we need to keep her heart at a lower rate as it is highly elevated."

I was not sure who she was talking about at first. That was until I saw some of the people start to move to the side to let someone else walk through. There were a lot of people standing in the room I was in so I was confused until I saw someone move forward. I could not believe who it was that she was talking to, as they were the ones who moved forward. It was the big scary man that started to move around the other people to come to stand over by me. Who was He exactly? Was she actually asking Him to hold me down while she was going to start the punishment? Was this His way of scaring me even more, cause it was certainly working?

When He finally reached the side of the place where I was sitting, I tried to move away from Him to the other side. That was until I noticed the woman try to grab my arm once again, and it made me jump away from her once more. I turned around again and noticed I was right up against the big scary man. It was then that I turned around slowly as fear crept up into me. When I turned to face Him, His hands were out and He grabbed each of my arms. I could not help the whimper that escaped my mouth once more, but this time, He did not move. He did not even growl at me.

I tried to pull away from Him at that moment, but it did me no good. I could not even move, not even a little. He just held me in the same position for a moment, so I looked away from Him. I just continued to listen to the sound of the noise from earlier. I thought this was just a bad dream so I closed my eyes. After a moment, I thought I was starting to fall asleep so I opened my eyes again. I was lying down again. How could I not feel when I was moving to a lying-down position? This time, I could hear the noise was slower than before now. I turned to look over at the woman and I noticed she had something sharp in her hands and pulled it away from one of the wires that were connected to my arm.

I could not help the slight whimper I released when I saw it, as I figured she was giving me something to make me pass out. That was something my mother would do but she would just stab me in the arm with it. I could not help it when I started to whimper as I was overcome by fear at that moment. I wanted to move, to get away from there, but how? They were both standing on either side of me. The big scary man then placed one hand just under my neck so I would not be able to sit up, which is one thing I tried to do at that moment. Why did He do that? Did He know I wanted to move away from them? Was He going to punish me now for trying to move?

"Rest baby," the big scary man said to me. "You are safe now."

What did that really mean? What is safe? Is that what He calls the punishment I got from the sharp-pointed thing she had in her hands? My mother used something pointed and when I woke up, I was always in pain. It was around that time I noticed I could barely keep my eyes open. Wait! Was I going to wake up in pain? Was this how my new punishment started? I could not help the whimpering that was in my throat. I kept whimpering ever so lightly until my eyes were closed. Soon I could not feel anything at all, nor could I hear the noise from earlier. What was going to happen to me next?

I tried to think for as long as my thoughts would cooperate with me. This was starting to scare me. Soon it was harder and harder to think of anything as I was already surrounded by black. I could still feel the pressure of His hand on my neck. After another moment, I could not feel anything at all and could not think about anything other than the black that was surrounding my vision. Soon my thoughts disappeared altogether as I melted away into black nothingness.
