Be my Sanctuary

Roxy looked at Jess. It hadn't been much. Barely a whisper but the empath had stood up for for. Sort of. Still it was more than anyone had done for her. No one had ever taken her side.

Reginald smiled indulgently. "I see you're one of those believe people should be allowed to love whoever they want to." He sighed and looked at Roxy but she ignored him. Her eyes didn't move off Maxwell. He was the threat here. Her father wouldn't hurt them. At least not physically and other wounds didn't count. "Normally I would agree however I arranged Roxanna's marriage years ago."

"I'm willing to allow Roxanna to have a woman on the side if that is what she needs." Maxwell shrugged as if it didn't matter to him. Roxy rolled her eye. She tried to shove the irritation and fear she felt into the box she kept her emotions in. She didn't have the luxury of dealing with them right now. Not that she would deal with them later. She had been avoiding feeling for years. It was much easier that way. "Heck I'd even watch."

"You have your heir father. You can leave me alone." Roxy hated that she had been sold off to the highest bidder. It didn't matter that Maxwell had worked with her father for years. She wanted nothing to do with either of them. "As for you Maxwell you can go to hell for all I care. You can find another wife. I hear Russia and China have some you can buy." She snarled.

Hopefully Sanctuary

Roxy snorted. She shook her head. Devika was a people pleaser. That much was clear. She wanted everyone around her to be happy. Roxy had no use for happy vibes. Life was anything but sunshine and roses. "We don't mesh. I don't know if we will but right now we don't." She pointed out. She blamed herself for the fact the bubble that was supposed to protect Devika not working. From what she read that was rare. Very rare.

"The empath/anchor program has been around a few years. They had done a ton of research on it. It's rare for the anchor not to be able to protect the empath from their emotions. Sure sometime the bubble only covers a small area so the two have to be close until they trust each other or mesh or whatever but the times that an empath has felt an anchor's emotion is very small."Roxy shrugged. She didn't know if allowing more customers to come or not was a good idea but she wasn't opposed to trying.

"I'll see if anyone else wants to come in today. Maybe open the schedule so that I have two or three jobs a day if you think you can handle it. Most don't wait here for the work to be done but some of them do. I don't want you to push yourself too much." Roxy suggested. She was in no hurry.

Roxy nodded. She moved down the hallway slowly. It was a straight right now but she knew that wouldn't last. Vlad would test them. He would test them hard. She doubted any of them would make it through this without some damage. But maybe they would be able to evaluate each other. It didn't take long for to the corridor come to a fork. Three paths. They could split but and cover more ground but she had a feeling that Clad wouldn't approve of that idea.

"Well children what do we do now." She asked as she leaned against the wall. She tried to remember what she knew about mazes. She remembered reading once that there was a trick to most mazes. One she was sure that Vlad knew about. If she could remember what it was they could try the opposite. She doubted they would be able to outsmart Vlad but maybe they could at least prove themselves component.

@Raptra both would be ideal. But mostly weakness of their personality or skills
