Sommer saw the way he looked, the smile still played upon his lips but his eyes had gone cold. For one moment her breath caught in her throat and she was sure that his anger would explode out at her. His voice ordering her to pick up the bucket made her scurry over to the yellow plastic and scoop it up. She had to fight the part of her brain that told her to run as he approached, but she managed to remain perfectly still, feet rooted in place, eyes downcast like a proper servant.<br/><br/>She didn't resist when he used her hair to pull her against him, feeling the heat of his body against hers. His gaze captured her as he looked down upon her, hand holding her chin so she was unable to look away, sending a twitch of pain through her face as her bruised skin rebelled against being touched. She stared up at him, thinking on his words, wondering at their meaning, what else could he want to do with her? As she thought his lips locked with hers, surprising young Sommer who yielded to the kiss, almost dropping the bucket she held in her left hand.<br/><br/>He broke the kiss, released her, and then spoke those words while Sommer stood frozen, panting to recapture the breath his mouth had stolen from her... Could she betray her friends? She knew what would happen to them if she did, this man was insane, he would hurt them, probably kill them, and it would be her fault. If she didn't though... if she didn't he would do something horrible to her, of that she was sure. Somehow she knew she was lucky he hadn't hurt her more today, she was sure had she resisted at all, he would have. She didn't want that, she didn't want to be punished, but she didn't want to betray her people to him...<br/><br/>She listened to his footsteps as he exited, leaving to go check on the alarm. Sommer stood perfectly still for a time before reaching up to wipe away the tears that slipped down her cheeks and turned to follow behind the Overseer, her new master.<br/><br/>--> To Atrium
