The Unthought Fate [MxM]

Chapter 12

Vlad

I grabbed something to eat and sat on the table, facing Sara. I wanted to see her, watch her every move. I haven't seen Sara in almost four years, since she left the training facility and never returned.

If she was here all along, I can see why see stayed. These people here were hardworking, serious, but also nice and polite. A good work balance I would say.

"You'be grown so much, Sara! I always knew you would be a beauty growing up, but you exceeded my humble expectations " I say looking at her with hearts in my eyes.

She always held a special place in my heart, for she was the light in the darkness of slavery. In my first day, her gentle voice grounded me, but that day didn't end up well, unfortunately.

But now, looking at her, hair so long, shiny and healthy and those curls were begging for someone to play in them, her tan skin was glowing and her eyes were full of happiness. She was more than ok, I could see she was truly happy and I couldn't be more relieved.

I would always pray to the power above for my brothers and sisters, to take care of them, to make sure they have good masters, fresh food and water and a warm bed to sleep at night. Seeing her like this was like an answer to my prayers, to show me that the one above me listens and follows.

"You are too sweet, Vlad! But I could say the same thing about you" she replied, her eyes shining with glee. I knew she maybe believed what she said, but I barely had been here for a day and I was aware of the state I was in. I was clean, thanks to the bath, but looking good was not there yet.

"For how long have you been here? What do you do?" I ask her, wanting to change the subject, because I knew I had no cheery answer for her compliment, regretfully.

"I'm here since I left the training facility, four years ago. Moved to different jobs in the castle, but was recently assigned to be the Lady's personal assistant." She tells me. "She is out of town at the moment, couldn't take me with her, but I have a lot of things to do in her absence." She continues to tell me, but I could sense that her smile was somehow forced. It's hard to explain why I felt that way, because she didn't changed any thing. I think I'm just too tired and my mind is playing tricks on me.

"How about you?" she then asks.

"Ow, I just got here yesterday evening straight from the training grounds" I inform her and I could see she was becoming sad so I hurried to say "but now I'm here and assigned to Prince Kayro, so no worries. He has been great so far." And there was something in her gaze, that disappeared so fast I almost misted it, but I couldn't understand what it was.

"You'll be in great hands with him, don't worry!" She tells me reassuringly and looks at her plate and starts playing with her food. I pay no mind to that, I'm too tired.

"Phew, glad to hear that. I was getting worried that he might be a little crazy, the good guy one day, the bad guy the next" I say and start giggling, because for me that was a joke, but apparently not for her.

"He is not crazy! He is a good guy everyday" she said, her voice serios and the happiness gone, her eyes on me, face serious and forehead a little creased.

I was taken aback by her reaction, but ok, I assume we all change in time, it's not reasonable for me to believe she would be the same old gentle, little girl she was during our time together at the train facility.

"Ok! I didn't intend to offend him, I'm sorry! I will be more careful from now on" I apologized and went to silently eat the rest of my food.

I finished in a couple of morsels, got up from my seat, washed my dishes and started towards my room. She didn't say anything else meanwhile.
