Nina rubbed her neck under the loose fitting metal collar. The noble, Jef something-or-another, had bought her a week before. Now she rode in the back of a cart. She wore fine clothes for a slave, a plain but pretty green dress that made her eyes more green than gray. Apparently she was to be some ones birthday gift. She shivered slightly as the cart drew to a stop, though it was warm. A man appeared in the cart, helping her out. "Does she speak?" he asked a large man who shrugged, Nina smiled to herself. "Do you speak?" he asked, turning to Nina. She tilted her head to the side, a curious and confused expression on her lightly tanned face. Her gray-green eyes sparkled as she stared at him. He started to bluch, "err... I guess not.."
"Cute isn't she?" A tall man asked laughing as he appeared beside him. "Bring her to the garden soon, James." Jeff said, leaving them again to head to the garden.
"Jeff Fen Cobblewings of SummersDale." Someone announced. The tall man walked forward as his name was announced. He kissed the Queens extended hand lightly and bowed deeply to the king and prince.
"My Prince Eric Fa Vandatram, I have brought a gift of beauty to you..." he waved his hand where james ledNina towards them. She could feel everyones eyes burn into her. She blocked everything out, the only way to keep herself from blushing. The prince said his tahnks to Jeff, and Nina was led away.
She sat on a bench in the slaves quarters by herself. The other slaves that didn't have jobs tonight at the party ignore dher. They sat in groupes, whispering, glancing at her. Nina sighed, wishing people would stop looking at her.
A little girl, about seven, and a boy, about nine, both with the same button nose, dark eyes, and golden skin, came up to her. "Are you a princess?" The little girl asked with large amazed dark eyes.
Nina smilsed softly and tugged her loose collar a little, "nope, I'm a slave... like you."
"But you're so pretty!" She protested. "Why would anyone wanna sell you? Can you clean? cook? sew? Anything?"
"My brother sold me two years after my bother and father were killed.. I was bought when I was six by an elderly woman. What;s your name?" She asked, changing the subject.
"I'm Karla this is my brother Broc, he doen'st speak.." she said looking at her brother who shuffled the ground with his bare feet. "he hasn't since Ma and Pa sould us for a cuople of silver coins." Karla said, answering Nina's un-asked question. She looked at htem sympathetically as the door swung opena nd a maid went over to Nina, "Come with me." She said, turning on her heels and walked out with out waiting for an answer. Nina sighed and gave Karla and Brox a smile before leaving. She followed the main down several halls and up several stairs. The maid finally stopped by two large doors. They opned only a breath after she knocked. The maid curtseyed low to the prince as he stood in the door way, "Thank you Ella." He said excusing hte maid. Eric waved for Nina to sit. She sat softly on a backless chair, far away from the bed and stared defiantly at him.
"Tell me about yourself. Are you a noble from different lands? Kidnapped?" Eric asked calmly, leaning on a window sill. He glared at her when she didnt answer, "I know you can talk."
Nina glared back, "I am nothing but a Slave, my lordship." she replied, saying lordship as if her tounge was burned by the word.
"Are you able to do anything useful?" He asked, ignoring the slight insult.
She glared at him a moment longer, "I can cook, clean, and do chores as well as any slave or maid. But I am no play toy for a boys pleasure." her voice was flat and she refused to even look at him. She was suprised to hear him laughing, when she finally looked at him she could see he was laughing so hard that there were tears in his eyes.
"This
boy isnt intrested in little girls." He said, laughing harder.
"Fine with me" Nina said smiling, not going to show that the little girl remark had put a thorn in her foot. "Keeps me out of your disgusting chambers then."
Eric smiled viciously, "If they're so disgusting you can clean them tomorrow until the floors shine, including my study, privy, and waiting room. I'm your master now. Make sure to take the slave's stair case on your way out." He said, turning his back to her.
Nina stood up and did a quick curtsey and left. Wanting to yell at him but knowing it would only give her more things to do if she did. More uneeded trouble.
"Thats my bread!" She heard Karla yell, as she walked into the slaves quarters after getting changed for the morning. A husky boy about seventeen or eighteen had taken her bread, a part of the morning meal that the slaves had. There was plenty that no one should even think of stealing from others. "Nina!" Karla cried as she saw her.
"What's wrong?" She asked walking over to Karla, staring at the boy.
"He took my food." She sniffled, rubbing her face. No one else attempted to help, all of the adults had already went to their work and it was teens and kids that were finishing up eating.
Nina smiled softly to Karla, "Please give that bread back to her." she asked the boy.
He laughed so harsh that it sounded like barks, "why should I? She doens't even deserve to eat."
"Everyone deserves to eat." She said softly, "No matter your size. And just because your bigger doesnt mean you can steal from the ones who are smaller. Picking on weaker people just shows weakness. Especially picking on a little girl." Nina glared, her voice was calm but her eyes blazed angrily. She knew what was coming, she had met people like him before, in the streets. She jumped back, pulling Karla with her, as the boy tried to swing at her. She nearly fell over as she stumbled over a broken broom stick.
perfect she thought grabbing it before he charged at her again. When he did the broom stick collided with the side of his head. He stumbled to the side from shock of the hit. It gave her enough time for another blow and knocked him to the ground by tripping him. The bread flew in the air and landed on a table near Karla. She stared at Nina and the boy wide-eyed. Nina just sighed, thankful that her first master had taught her ways to defend herself. The room was silent but suddenly burst into laughter as the fallen boy moaned.
"Richard got beat by a pretty little girl!" A youth howled with laughter.
Nina ignored them and grabbed the bread, handing it to Karla. "Eat up." She smiled. "This meal should be enough to fill an adult till mid-day meal, no need in taking others just because they're weaker."
She patted Karla on the head, stepped over the fallen boy, and left the room.
Nina made her way up the slave stair way to where Erics chambers were.
"In the study!" Eric called as she knocked. Nina sighed and went in, though did not go into his study. It took her till mid-day to finish the Privy, sleeping room, and guest room, only the study was left and Eric had not once left it. With a deep sigh she knocked on the door, no answer. She knocked again and yet again there was no answer. She opened the door slowly to see several book cases and a couple of desks, one was occupied by Eric who was fast asleep. Pulling a blanket off of the back of a chair she draped it over him and continued to clean quietly. It was past mid-day meal by the time she was done. Nina slid to the floor happy to finally be done, she had went as fast as she could with still cleaning as good as possible. The floors shined and the dust was cleared and all the rooms smelled fresh now. But her hands and arms ached and her head spun from the cleaning herbs. Leaning against a wall she decided to take a short break, since Eric was still fast asleep. She didnt want to go into the slaves quarters and get randomly attacked by that brute.
