Binding Scars

Fire. Mangled flesh. Permanent scars. They hold us together....until a chance encounter one fateful night pulls us apart. There are two types of maids. The paid ones. They wear uniforms...or not. They look their employers in the eye when they are given orders. At the close of the workday, they go home to their friends and family. With their payments made in full. Then they are the unpaid ones. We're slaves. We kneel before our masters. At the close of the workday, we go to sleep at the foot of our masters' bed ready to spring into action when our services are needed. Our hearts are full of gratitude. We’re loyal in our service. I’m one of many. No, I’m the best. The most sought after. One punishment changes everything. It should have been routine. Nothing out of the ordinary. Except I met a boy. He’s tall, lean, tattooed. He has witch eyes. A rebel. He's the opposite of everything I stand for. But I’m drawn to him. I should stay away. But I keep coming back. His name is Merrick. Fall in love. It’s the one thing we're taught never to do. The consequences will leave eternal scars, sever relationships, destroy lives. But it might just be worth it.
