Drop the Bomb

(Lucas's POV)

I tried praying that night, I wasn't very good at it, my uncle was never really the religious type.

I guess it wasn't heard because when I woke up, I was still in Alastra's room. When I turned over I saw that she was holding me tightly in her sleep. I looked past her and out the window, the red sunlight streaming into the room.

Yep, I was still in hell.

Part of me wanted to just try and make a run for it, but I knew that would be stupid, I didn't have anywhere else to go, and I didn't have a way back home. When I turned back over, it caused Alastra to stir a little.

Suddenly, Alastra's eyes fluttered open, and she looked down at me with a soft smile.

Alastra: Good morning, my little fawn~

I couldn't help but return her smile, despite the strange feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Lucas: Good morning, Al...

She covered my mouth with her hand, and looked at me with this sort of glare that sent shivers down my spine.

Alastra: Darling, I may love you, but don't think I won't punish you if you refer to me as anything less than Mommy. Understand?

I felt a knot forming in my stomach. I nodded slowly, not wanting to upset her further.

Alastra's smile softened, and she removed her hand from my mouth, but her eyes still held a hint of warning.

Alastra: Now would you like to try that again.

Lucas: (timidly) G-Good morning, Mommy.

She smiled in satisfaction, and she hugged me to her chest so she could rest her head on mine.

Alastra: That's my good little deer~

(Alastra's POV)

As I rested my head on his I caught a whiff of his scent, and it reminded me that he probably hadn't been bathed sense I found him in the woods, he actually still had a tiny bit of dirt on his face.

Alastra: Darling, I think you might need a bath today.

I saw him blush at my suggestion.

Lucas: (flustered) W-what?!

I didn't answer, I just got up and went to leave the room, but before I left I turned to him.

Alastra: Remember, Darling, don't leave that spot until I come to get you~

(Lucas POV)

I glanced around the room, feeling trapped and uncertain about what the future held for me. Alastra seemed so caring and protective, but her possessiveness was starting to make me uncomfortable.

I decided to get up and explore the room a bit more, hoping to distract myself from my worries. As I looked around, I couldn't help but notice how lavish and extravagant everything was, especially considering we were in hell. Wasn't this place meant to make people suffer.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching the door, and my heart started to race. I instantly got back to the spot I was in right before Alastra came in.

Alastra: Okay, darling, the water's ready~

I scooted back from my spot on the bed, worried about where this was going. Alastra sighed before  just scooping me up out of the bed, and carrying me into the bathroom.

(Alastra's POV)

I could sense Lucas's nervousness as I carried him into the bathroom, but I tried to reassure him with a gentle smile. Once inside, I set him down on the floor next to the bathtub. I managed to get his clothes of, with a bit of a struggle, but I wouldn't punish him this time, because he had that adorable little blush on his face the entire time.
