"Are they not treating you well?"

I shrugged.

"They treat me fine, it's just that..."

I shook my head at the thought.

"You know what, it's nothing. I don't want to think about it right now."
"Let's just have a nice dinner like when we used to." I smiled.

"You're right honey. I like your outfit by the way."

"Thanks, dad."

Then a group of more masked men came out holding food.
Instead of triangles and squares, these ones had circles.

One of them placed down a platter in front of my plate and removed the lid revealing fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and a honey biscuit.

I looked up at my dad grinning wide.
"Of course, the first meal is my favorite."

Dad laughed.
"I had too, I know how much you love this food."
"Now eat up you must be starving."

I grabbed the fried chicken and took a bite and I can't express how tasty it was.
It was like the best-fried chicken I had ever eaten.
Better than KFC, Canes, and even
Chick-fil-a.

Once I had finished eating I was going to go back to my room when dad stopped me.

"Wait (y/n) before you go, could I ask you something?"

I sat back down in my chair and looked at him.

" Yeah sure."

"Has your mother told you anything regarding any of my family?" He asked.

I thought long and hard for a moment.

"Umm, no nothing that I can think of."

His head moved downward.

"Is that all dad?"

"Yes, you can go now."

I got back up and walked out of the dining room.
Outside of the door waiting for me was the square guard.

"How was your dinner?"

He asked as he started to walk down the hall.

"It was good. The food was tasty."

Then we both went quiet and that's how it stayed until we got back
to my room.
Just like before he opened the door
saying his usual,
"If you need anything, I'll be outside."

I walked in and the door shut behind me.
Wanting to get out of these clothes, I changed out of them and put my pajamas. Which were basically a oversized shirt and sweatpants.

More hours went by and it was most likely 9 or 10 pm.

I was getting sleepy so I started to get ready for bed. I went into my bathroom
and washed my face, brushed my teeth,
and used the toilet.

Once I was done, I went to turn my lights off when a quiet knock came from my door.
I went over and opened it, and just as I suspected the square masked man was there.

"I wanted to inform you that my duty is over and I will be heading to bed for the night. There will still be two guards outside of your room keeping an eye out."

"Have a goodnight."
He said in his monotone voice.

Then he turned to walk away, but I stopped him by grabbing his arm.

"Wait."

He slightly turned his head and peered back at me.

"It's been almost a day and I don't even know your name. Is there a certain name I should be calling you?" I asked.

"I cannot tell you my name but if need to address me by anything sir would be fine"

"Well, then you have a goodnight too sir." I smiled.

He looked at me for a moment until he turned back around and walked away.
I then shut my door and turned my lights off.

I stumbled my way to my bed and wiggled under the covers and blankets.
I grabbed my phone, turned my night playlist, and soon fell asleep listening
to my music.
