The hidden beast inside - Closed

Caleb made his way back upstairs. He had made a note of her sizes for her clothes. He figured maybe, he'd head out and buy something her size if he had too. He was honestly a little disappointed that he wasn't likely to see her in the short dress again. She was so cute in it.

Alma decided to spend some time reading one of the books that had been in her bed, but before long she grew hungry, and she decided to get up and try to open the door, hoping that maybe for once Caleb had forgotten to lock it, although she thought it wasn't likely. She sighed as her stomach growled, resting her forehead against the door in frustration, wishing that none of this had happened to her.

Caleb had headed out to town quickly. He had somethings to pick up. He found some clothes, that would fit her, as well as restocking the food. He made his way back to the castle deciding to check on her. He unlocked the door, opening it carefully.

Alma had gone back to reading for a while, but had ended up falling asleep due to the warmth from the heater. The book she had been reading had fallen on the floor, and her blanket had gotten tangled around her legs, but she looked peaceful as she slept, even if she wasn't very happy when she was awake.

Caleb smiled softly seeing her asleep. He kept quiet and placed the new set of clothes down on the table, along with some food, incase she was hungry when she woke. He left her to it, before heading back upstairs, to tidy up the castle some more. His hope was eventually she'd be able to trusted to roam the castle more.

Alma woke shortly after he left, frowning a little in confusion as she oriented herself, picking her book up off of the ground before moving over to see what Caleb had brought for her. She picked at the food while she looked through the clothes he had brought, nodding a little in approval. They weren't exactly what she would have picked out, but they were better than that short dress or nothing.

Caleb settled down to rest, glad that things seemed to be going better than expected with the young lady. He sat reading through a book, thinking about how to tell her the truth about this place.

Once she finished eating she flopped back down onto the bed, groaning loudly in boredom. She was to distracted to read, but there wasnt anything else to do in her cell, other than sleep or take a bath, both of which she had already done that day. After a while she got up and paced the room for a little bit before deciding to try to open the door again.

Caleb was sitting back relaxing, as he heard the door being tried. He sighed softly moving over to it. "Ms, please stop trying the door, it's locked," he said through it. He looked at the clock, "do you need something?" he asked

Alma frowned when he told her to stop, huffing in frustration as she moved back to flop down onto the bed. "I'm bored. Theres nothing to do." She complained, staring at the ceiling in frustration. "I'm going to die of boredom."

Caleb sighed softly, understanding boredom all to well. "Okay what sort of thing would you like to do? I'll see if I can find something," he called out.

"I dont want to be in this cell anymore. Find something to fix that." She huffed, not wanting to sound so irritable but she couldn't help it. Anyone in her situation would be acting the same way.

Caleb sighed softly, not sure how to respond. He thought for a moment, "I could bring you more books, or something, but I'm not sure I can let you out of the cell yet," he said softly.

"I have books and I dont want to read. Why cant you let me out?" Alma frowned. "You're prisoner here too and you get to wander around, why cant i?"

Caleb sighed loudly, "I'm different, my master knows I won't leave permanently," he said softly. He felt bad for her, but he needed the company.

Alma let out a rather childish whine, rolling onto her stomach to bury her face in her pillow out of frustration. She'd never leave this cell, and she'd die of boredom within a week.

Caleb frowned, "how about you give me a little while, then I'll show you around," he suggested lightly.

Alma pulled the pillow from her face when she heard his suggestion, sitting up to look over at the door. "Alright... That sound fine." She said. She'd have to look for openings to escape, although she wouldnt do it today. She needed him to trust her, to let her out of the cell more often, to loosen up on the rules, and only then would she be able to escape.

Caleb smiled weakly, hearing a little more cheer in her tone. He made his way upstairs, and went around the castle securing all the passages out of the castle, and locking the doors to of limits area. He then made his way back about an hour later. "You want that tour?" he asked quietly at the door, "also you never introduced yourself," he added.

Alma waited patiently, and once she heard him come down the stairs she hurried over to the door, excited to be let out of her cell, at least for a little while. She frowned a little when he mentioned her never introducing herself. "Alma.. My name is Alma."
