That name struck a tone of darkness: befitting the dreary girl sitting across from Colin. She had pale white skin and lips coated in black lipstick that matched the eye liner on her left eye, probably the right one too, but that was covered up by her black and blue hair that reached past her shoulders. Her pitch black nails stood against the simple white table cloth as she ate away at the food slowly.
Colin felt uncomfortable around her, as her seafoam eyes barely showed any shifts in mood.
"Sooooooooooooo..... h-how's the food?" Colin stammered in the most awkward way imaginable.
"It's alright. Won't fill my void, but I'd eat more it." Ebony said slowly and dryly.
Colin noshed away at the cobs of corn on his plate, thinking of a good spark for a conversation. He could tell the woman wasn't sure that these two young folks would hook up, and lord knows what would happen if they didn't.
'Follow my lead.' Colin whispered into Ebony's ear.
Colin glopped up some mashed potatoes and slipped his fork into her mouth, as Ebony did likewise with her helping of cranberry sauce. The two exchanged food like this each time the old woman looked over at them, between roast beef and battered chicken, corn and Caesar salad, even broccoli and sweet potatoes. (Each of them gagged at the last one since Colin hated broccoli and Ebony hated sweet potato.)
When they finished, they left and headed off for a room with dark stained wood furniture, including a dresser, nightstand, and woodframe bed with curtains.
"All according to plan." Colin smugly grinned.
"What now?" Ebony said.
"Now that you're paired up, you may want get busy." the old man said as he came in with some sheets, "Remember kids, you're staying at MY house under MY terms. Sooner or later, you better bust it or... heh heh... it ain't gonna be pretty."
The younger two looked at eachother in mild disgust; the old man simply laughed.
"All my years in Church teaching people abstinence, and now I'm tellin' them to have sex."
He left the room, leaving the two alone to determine their fate; neither of them wanted to have sex, as Colin was a practicer of abstinence who satisfied his sexual impulses via masterbation and Ebony was an engaged woman. If they didn't fuck, who knows what those psychos would do to them. Ebony had a plan in mind to escape, but if it failed, they were definitely screwed. Colin thought by playing along they could be safe. They argued as quietly as they could until agreeing to..
