Chapter nine Lunar ball
I walked slowly down the marble stairs carrying a mop and bucket. Every step seemed to echo through the vast walls. I descended down reaching the dining table. Servants walked earnestly murmuring among themselves. Going left I dropped the bucket at the cleaning closet.
Heaving out a sigh, I tried to relax my shoulders but my arm were teased, muscle sniff allowing no movement. Stretching out leisurely and walking with no destination in mind."It's today" someone whispered. Two young servants walked ahead. The other seemed to teased up by the statement."Have mercy on me God!" the other spoke up sounding fearful.Two of them walked with caution searching for an invisible danger. The moved closer murmuring audible prayers. They passed by lost in precation. I looked back at them watching them closely. They words brought curiosity. Turning left, I went searching for Ebere.The ball room was just below the floor, a spacious wooden polish floor, heavy curtain wiRelated chapters
Bonded Chapter one Punishment
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

Everything disappeared, time stood still, the tangles and spark floating around the cluster, tangling through my skin, it pulled and dragged like a magnet towards mental, leaving only a defenceless body. I stood still, with those eyes on mine. The feeling made me afraid, it was unreal. Shaking my head rapidly, I tried desperately to regain my wits. Silence dragged for what seemed like hours, I stood there unsure, not really thinking but just breathing, I had no idea where I was, if I was dead it was still unproven. He stood staring with those cold eyes, I looked away unsure. His sudden movement forward made me go still, my eyes lowered automatically, my hands rolled up in tight fist. Submission and obedience in my village was a must, especially from the female to any walking being with a stick dangling between their leg. We showed our submission, with polite mannerisms and lowered head, showing weakness. Talking slow deliberately step, he was two feet away, I felt myself being pulle
Bonded Chapter three Myth
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

Am up before the first light, ready and dressed. The uniform feels scratching on my skin and oddly it's fit perfectly. I walk down the narrow hall trying to find my way around, I take different turns that seems to lead to the same place. A tangling feel on my belly makes me stop briefly.Morning" some calls out Turning back I face the voice, his white teeth comes into view, his face lined up in a smile."Morning" I greet back but with less enthusiasm."Are you new here"?"Yeah, I'm supposed to start today" He hums to himself nodding his head."I'm Emmanuel" "Vivian" "Where are you heading to?"I look around, my eyes uncertain. His chest vibrates in a deep laugh, I stay silence embarrassed."Where are you assigned to"? "Cleaning staff" my voice carrying a sharper tone. He leads the way as I stroll slowly behind. His warm chatter fills the silence, unbothered by my monotone response he continues to speak happily. I find myself smiling for the first time in a long while as he speak

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

Weeks passed like a blur, sited on the wooden long chair, cheerful loud disorder voices fills the dinning room. Bringing a small spoon of beans into my mouth swallowing it quickly.

Feeling restless and antsy, preoccupied with a nagging thought that keeps me up at night, for three weeks have cleaned the empty space never once catching a glimpse of him. Huffing out an annoyed breath, I shove more food down my throat. "Are u okay"?

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.
