The Story of Hanna/Chapter I - Interrogation - Start
The guard takes you to the church to meet with your man in charge and caretaker appointed by Chad Mason, a head priest of Peonia, Robert Dumont. Holding you with his other hand, he knocks on the backdoor of the church, which leads directly into Robert's personal quarters. A grumpy old man in his late sixties opens up the door after about thirty second of waiting, staring angrily at the guard, wearing a warm, dark blue bathrobe.
"Do you have any idea what time it is?"
"We have a problem, reverend Dumont." As the guard utters those words, Robert notices you standing partially behind the guard, and a sick smile appears on his face. Guard jerks you in front of him, presenting you to the priest. "It seems like Hanna was trying to escape with his customer."
"W-wait, that's not exactly how it went", you lie.
"That's exactly how it went", guard says angrily. "You must've gotten out through the window, which is locked from the inside."
"Be quiet, both of you", Robert command. "I thank you for your service. I will handle talking with Hanna."
"Yes, of course", guard says and backs down. In this one moment of freedom, you stare directly at Roberts hand, which he extends to you.
"Now, Hanna. Come quietly with me", Robert commands. "Accept your punishment, okay?" Pouting, you don't do or say anything. As his gaze turns more judgmental, you finally nod slowly and accept your punishment reluctantly. You don't want to make things worse than they already are. You give him your hand, and he leads you in, closing the door. "Good. Now, let's go upstairs."
…
You've heard many bad stories about this man from all of the orphans and slaves living in Peonia. Based on these stories it's safe to say that Robert Dumont is not a pleasant man. He's hard to deal with and very weird. He's just as perverted as the worst of your customers, and genuinely violent to the boot. He's touchy with both young boys and girls and likes to grope them in surprise. You've been the victim of his lecherous hands many times, but you've always laughed it off, especially since he seems to do it just to tease you. You didn't think there was much to the harsher rumors and stories about him. You've been in his good side ever since you came to Peonia, and you've never caused him any trouble. Are you about to be proven wrong and taught that those stories were not lies? Well, if anything he has already done to you is any indication, you're going to be proven wrong, and then some.
As soon as he got upstairs with you, he took you to a small room of sadomasochistic fun. It's filled to a brim toys and weapons, ropes and chains, gadgets and devices designed to torture and - if you happen to be into that stuff - pleasure. With your clothes still fortunately on, he forced you to stand on stool and then he placed chains on your wrists. In a very uncomfortable position, you stand still on this one stool, but should you slip, or should the chair fall from underneath you, you would be left painfully hanging by the chains without your feet being able to reach the floor. Then, he left for a very long time. There are no clocks to check on time, and windows are covered by thick curtains too, but it certainly feels like you've been standing here for an hour straight.
Exhausted, you just want to relax your arms and sit down. You hear faint footsteps from outside the door, and it finally opens. There he is, back to bully you, and he didn't come alone. With him he has a dog with him. It's a large, black shepherd, and he's quite familiar to you. Called Dusty, he's your best non-human friend in the whole village. You love playing with Dusty, and Dusty also really likes you. He is Robert's dog, so of course he will obey his master over you any day of the week.
"Oh, Hanna. I'm so gravely disappointed in you", Robert says, closing the door. He picks up a whip and a wooden chair. He presents it in front of you and sits down, swirling around the leathery straps of a whip with his other hand. "But at the same time, I'm very grateful. You see, I've been given special instructions regarding you. Your master doesn't want me to be strict with you and has prohibited me from punishing you unless it's for serious violations. And you just have to be so nice all the time… You've never wronged me, not up until now."
"Hanna has done nothing wrong…" you say, trying to weasel yourself out of your punishment.
"Shut the fuck up", he commands you. "You only speak if asked a question, okay? And start talking like a normal human being." He stares at you silently, with an increasingly judgmental gaze. You're starting to get scared. "It's up to me to decide whenever you've done anything wrong. Do you understand?"
"Y-yes, I understand…" you say, with a shaky voice.
"So… Who was he?"
You're not sure what you should even tell. "His name is Leon…"
"And his last name?"
"He didn't tell me…"
"Oh really? Do you know him from the past?" You shake your head. "Answer me verbally, or else."
"No, I have no previous interactions with that man."
"Then why the FUCK!" He yells and gets on his feet, slapping you across the face with the back of his hand. "Why would you even think about going away with him!?"
The slap hurt you, but you manage to stay on your feet, barely. It stings so bad you feel like crying. "I'm so sorry… He told me I have to… He had a message from Chad…"
"And you, like a fool, believed him?"
"I'm so sorry… Please forgive me…"
"You should know that the official messages from your master come through ME, and only ME." Then, he presses the handle of the whip against your jaw and leans in for a whisper. "What did he tell you?"
Robert doesn't know your backstory, and therefore doesn't know about your identity, and there's no way he would believe you even if you told him now. Or would he? It's hard to say, since you've never had to lie to him before. Others have claimed that he has the ability to see through delusion. Then again, you don't have to lie. You could tell him at least part of the story.
