What a wonderful day so far. I think sardonically as I reach my hand up to feel my bruised face, I'm currently being escorted back to my room after a rather nasty beating from Bane, he's not looking so good either though.
"Hurry up!" Snaps one of my guards as he shoves me.
"Do that again and I'll remove your hands." I snap as I look at him out of the corner of my eye and he smirks before pushing me again.
Sighing I say "I did warn you." Then before he can move I grip his hand and pull it off along with his arm, before doing the same to the other. He screams and I swipe my leg underneath his ones and he lands on the floor with a hefty thump.
I look at my other guard who looks petrified.
"You want that to happen to you?" I ask with an eyebrow raised.
He shakes his head, eyes wide and I smile.
"Then keep your hands to yourself." I remark before we stop at my room and he opens the door to let me in, I walk in to see Mac sat on the bed, an annoyed expression on her face.
"You okay?" I ask as I sit next to her, then I smell the beer.
"I'm perfectly fine apart from the fact that I've got to get you wedding ready in an hour, how does he expect me to do that? I've got to get you in the dress, do your hair and makeup all within an hour." She snarks before taking another swig of her beer.
I take it from her with a smile "Wouldn't want you stabbing me in the eye with some eyeliner now would we?"
She huffs before getting up and motioning for me to go to the bathroom.
"I ran you a bath and put all of the shit he wanted me to in it." She tells me and I hurry to the bathroom before stripping and climbing in.
Not even 20 minutes later and Mac is banging on the door yelling at me to get my ass out of there and in a towel before she breaks down the door.
"Five more minutes!" I call back and a frustrated growl sounds from the opposite side of the door.
"I am not scared of them anymore but I will not take another punch from any of them because you were late to your wedding." She growls.
Guilt fills me and I get out of the bath, nearly slipping in my hurry to get across the tiled floor and have a towel wrapped around me before Mac boots the door down and storms in.
"I knew that get you out the bath." She says with a smirk and I glare at her.
"Playing on my human side there Mac." I growl.
"Oh please, you don't scare me, you're literally a pup besides nothing has changed other than your eyes and your tendency to drink blood but other than that you're still you." She comments.
"Point made." I reply before Mac tells me to dry off whilst she throws some skimpy, black, lace underwear at me before saying she's going to get my wedding dress for me.
"Some wedding this is, I'm being fucking blackmailed." I grumble to myself as I put on the underwear, it would have been to my taste had I bought it myself and it wasn't from an asshole such as Bane.
Once dressed in the underwear I walk out of the bathroom and find Mac hanging a big ass bag on the top of the wardrobe.
"Want a hand?" I ask and she shakes her head finally managing to reach and get it to hang there.
"Go and sit on that stool please." She says and I comply, sitting on the rather comfy stool before looking at my reflection in the mirror and groaning.
I have a greenish - yellow bruise on my jaw, a dark purple on my cheekbone but no swelling, a cut by my hairline that is still healing and two big blueish - purple hand prints on my neck after he strangled me.
They are stark against my pale skin and I sigh.
"You're going to have a hard time covering these up." I tell Mac as I swivel on the stool and motion at my neck and face.
She smiles softly but the anger in her eyes and scent is evident.
"He isn't going to hurt you anymore, not after tonight." She says, her voice cold.
"If they get here." I reply and she walks over with a stern expression on her face as she motions for me to spin as she ties up my hair in a bun to keep it out of the way when she's doing my makeup.
Our eyes meet in the mirror and she looks determined as she says "They will."
Then I sigh as she spins me around and orders me to sit still as she gets to work on my face.
