Bonded

The golden sun shined above, warming my skin, droplets of sweats slid down my bare back. My bones ached from exhaustion and pain, bonded by heavy chains to the hands and knees, I knelt down feeling tiny pebble pierce my kneecap. Head bowed down in forceful submission, my freedom was kept. The hush whispers and excited cries from the sadistic crowd grow louder, consuming all sounds. I could feel them gawking at my naked form, it brought needle like feelings to my skin being so vulnerable and exposed to all who cared to see, it made my pulse race and my eye watered knowing that I was at their mercy. My heart quicken at the thought of being stoned to death or beheaded, it might come down to that I thought bitterly. I can still remember years ago when I stood as a witness in the crowd, the shrilling cry and pleas for help were deft to them, I stood there watching fear gripping my bones. Blood, there so much blood. I watched as my mother was stoned till she couldn't beg, till there where sa

We walk closely knitted, well I stayed very close to her not leaving any space between us afraid of getting lost in the maze like building. We went through a flight of stairs going deeper underground. Torch hangs from the wall illuminating the dark place. We pass guard and other servant watching us curiously and whispering among themselves. Taking bends and turn we reach a wooden door, Ebere opens it and steps aside. I walk into the room, a small single beds lays by the wall with a small cupboard by the side. There's a reading table by the left with a candle on top. A wardrobe stands irregularly by the wall. Looking down at my shirt, is the only cloth I have and is not even mine. "There's a uniform inside with other necessities" she speaks as if reading my thoughts. I nod slowly a little overwhelmed."Lunch would start soon, there's a bathroom at that corner." She points out.This place is better than the former I thought. "I'll come later to take you" Facing her I Smiled at her wor

Everything was dark, the night sky is void empty of any stars, the moon shines lonely half full. Covered by thick forest tress and brushes, obnubilate clouds covers the eerie forest. The night is obscure shapeless presence lurks through the night. Looking around I make nothing out, bright golden wide eyes shines, sited on a tree root, it stared unblinking. Hooting out loudly flapping its wings it fly's away. I chills runs through my spine. The place looks lucid. A low growl sounds vibrating through the night, I look back a shadow approaches it's huge form dominating leaving me in dismay. My feet moves own it's own accord, I move fast down the muddy path. Brushing pass rough tree truck, turning left and right with no direction, fear starts to creep into my bones, everything closes in. A howl rings out, birds scattered around crying into the night, am racing down the forest my heart down my throat. Stumbling down my own feet, I trip and fall landing on my arms, an anima

As fate would have it, I saw him the next day.At the break of dawn, i walk into the room, pushing the door weakly, my eyes still heavy with sleep. The room is dim only a fate spark of light passes through the curtains. Stretching my limbs, a yawn escapes my lips. A low growl makes my ear sharpen, looking around suspiciously, my senses seemed to sharped as well. Moving towards the sound dumbly, I feed my aching curiosity. The bathroom door is ajar, a loud curse rises out, the deep bass voice makes me go still in shock all to aware who it was. Contemplating my options, I ponder on what to do. Gathering enough courage I enter the open door. Standing in all glory, his covered in blood. Gasping out, his eyes travel to mine.Taking two weak steps towards him, my eyes wonder to his bloody covered chest, looking worriedly for any wounds, his cold eyes watches me like a pry. Standing with only one feet away, my eyes widen at a large cut on his right ribs. Without thin
