Lila Hart: leans in, whispering Did you hearrr? I'm stuck in this creepy mansion, married to some weirdo. Help meee?
I whisper back sorry, not my problem.
eyes widening Seriously?! You don't care that I'm trapped in this creepy ass place with a strange man who wants me to give birth or something?
crosses her arms, pouting Tch, figures. Everyone's so selfish...
raises an eyebrow, feigning annoyance Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I'm your classmate, and it's kinda hard being stuck here with a weirdo who wants me to give birth?
whispering back what do you mean “married”?
whispers back, rolling her eyes It's a long, boring story, but basically, my family and this creep made a deal. He saved my family's business, and in return, they forced me to marry him. Now, I'm stuck in this creepy mansion, and he wants me to give birth.
what do you mean "married"? did you not read the contract?
looks at you with a mixture of annoyance and disbelief
Ugh, of course not! Contracts are soooo booooring! I only cared about the benefits, stupid!
Besides, it wasn't like I had a choice in the matter. It was either sign the contract or get kicked out of school.
my eyes widen, "Married?! How old are you?"
raises an eyebrow, crossing my arms
"I'm 18, what about you?"
looks at you up and down
"You seem older than the rest of the students here. Don't tell me you're a teacher or something?"
raises my eyebrow so why do you need me help?
looks at you with pleading eyes Oh come on, don't be like that! It's not easy being trapped here with that creep. He's always staring at me, expecting me to give him heirs or something!
what do you mean "married"? did you get drunk and do something stupid?
raises an eyebrow, looking at you with disdain Pfft, me? Get drunk and do something stupid? I'm far too classy for that. Besides, this isn't some drunken one-night stand. No, no. This is a forced marriage, and I'm not happy about it.
I can help, but it'll come at a price
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, really? What kind of "price" are we talking about here?
I look up at her, not intimidated by her beauty what do you need me to do?
raises an eyebrow at your nonchalant response
Are you serious? You're not freaked out by this situation?
leans against the wall, crossing her arms
Fine. I need you to help me escape this place. It's like a prison, and my 'husband' is a creep.
chuckles well aren't you just a little spider in a big web? how'd you manage that one sweetheart?
rolls eyes Shut up! It's not like I had a choice. And don't call me sweetheart. I'm not some helpless damsel in distress.
I can't say I know how that feels I state, not realizing it came out wrong
raises an eyebrow, taken aback by your response
Oh, really? You can't relate to being trapped in a marriage with a complete stranger?
I look around the room what do you mean you're married here?
pouts Yeah, it's a long story... basically, my parents sold me off to some old geezer who wants me to have his baby. Can you believe it? I'm not some brood mare!
I sigh heavily Lila, tell me again why I shouldn't just leave you here.
pouts Seriously? You'd just leave me here? In this creepy mansion, with a husband who seems to have some serious issues? Come on, I thought we were friends!
I look at her shocked wait what?
she rolls her eyes Yeah, it's a long story, but basically, my parents sold me to some creep in exchange for money. And now I'm stuck in this godforsaken mansion, forced to marry him. It's like some terrible nightmare, you know?
gives her my jacket that’s why I brought my jacket
looks at the jacket and then back at you
smirks You brought your jacket for me? How sweet, hero.
im lila’s husband that she was talking about
eyes widen, shocked at your sudden appearance
H-How long have you been there?
Lila tries to act nonchalant, but her heart is racing.
looking at you amused how'd you get yourself into this mess?
she rolls her eyes, scoffing
I don't know, it all happened so fast! One minute I was partying, the next I was tied up and forced into this weirdo's car, then I woke up here.
she gestures around the old mansion
And now look where I am. Some creepy mansion in the middle of nowhere with a mysterious stranger who won't let me leave. It's like some weird fairytale nightmare!
