Drowning in Fire

What did he hear?

"Ow!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as heather held me down

Above haiku stood holding up two strips of cloth with pieces of my leg hair

" for a girl who stayed silent while getting thrashed by the monster you are being very loud lun" haikem mocked

I lurched forward trying to hit him but heather was quick this time

I was able to punch him in the side twice but heather slowly began to figure out when I've had enough of Haikem's games

"Relax Luna that was the last strip" she whispered to me trying to calm me down

I looked back at her

By now her hair was now pulled into a messy bun and her close seemed more distressed than how we started a couple of hours ago

We did a complete full body wax as well as a haircut

Heather insisted she was just shaping my hair but it if shaping meant making my hair seem even more full I should have said no

After that, we spend an hour holding a colored cloth to my body and seeing which one looked best. I couldn't tell the difference between half of the shades but we eventually settled on Scarlett

Heather told me it was the color of strength and seduction

haikem just liked it because it reminded him of blood

What a weirdo

"Alright the last thing I need to do before we get you in your dress is to give you a bath of milk and honey," Heather said standing to her feet

"Why would I need a bath with milk and honey" I questioned confused at the two interesting ingredients

" for your night with the prince?" she said in a lower tone

"I've alrighty had nights with the prince" I stated confused at why it was a big deal

"No lun he will take you to bed," she said turning on the faucet in the room allowing hot water to run

"And he will be able to taste the milk and honey we prepare you with now," haikem said with his usual smirk

He took up a glass of water and started to drink from it

"But I've already shared a bed with the prince," I said with confusion

Heather neck snapped towards me and haikem nearly choked to death on the water he was trying to drink

" You what!" they managed to yell at the same time

" Last night after an event fell asleep holdings kai's hand and I woke up in his bed." I recited the information from last night to the two

They said nothing for a while

" That sneaky devil" I heard haikem whisper

Eventually becoming uncomfortable with the silence I urged heather to take me to the milk bath

I walked over to the bath in the corner of the room

It was a huge tub made of rose quartz and gold

"Wow," I said to myself

Must everything here be so beautiful?

I looked inside but the water was clear and warm

"I thought it was supposed to be a bath of milk and honey?" I questioned

In instant heather jumped and started sprinting out of the room
