The Servant

Chapter 2

I woke up laying on a soft and comforting bed. My head didn't want to leave my pillow . I looked under the covers and saw that I was naked. What happened? Why am I naked? I don't remember going to bed.
"Ah, you're awake." I quickly hid under my covers. Sinbad was in my room, while I'm naked. I was searching for my clothes, but nothing was on the floor. Where are my clothes?!!!!
"I had your clothes being cleaned for you. I assumed that's what you were doing before you fell asleep on the floor."
I remained silent. Staying under the covers. "You know ,that bed is twice as comfortable than sleeping on the floor,right?"
I nodded.
"And yet you still sleep on the floor?" He asks. I didn't have to see him,to know the look he was giving me. The confused look that makes him look twice as handsome as he normal is.
I nodded.
I cried myself to sleep.
"We're not in Partaveia anymore, Hera. " His hand was on my foot. " You don't have to go back to living like a peasant ."
But I still have to work like one.
I flinched when I noticed his hands were towards my face. He sighed and dropped his hand onto my lap.
"Your clothes should be finished in an hour or so. " He says. "I'll come by again to check on you. "
He leaves the room. I wait for the clicking sound of his shoes to fade into silence, before crying again. I bet he really doesn't care about me. He won't come back, he has more important things. I grabbed one of the robes and fixed my hair. I forgot how small this robe was on me. my breasts and butt filled this entire robe!
I quickly ran out of the room and watched Sinbad talk to Ja'far down in the courtyard.
When I turned around and began to move. I accidentally bumped into someone. It was Masrur - Sinbad's left hand man.
"Sorry." He apologized in his dead tone. I shook my head and kept walking.
Bursting into a full run the moment I was out of the castle. I ran as far as I could, only to see Ja'far standing in front of me.
"Hera... Where are you going in such a hurry? " I ran off again. Taking other turns and running farther and farther away from the castle. The first thing I saw was a tree. I can hear other's calling my name.
"Hera! Hera! " I quickly climbed up the tree as high as I could. When I looked Down,I held back a scream. I was so high up. My hands were scraped and bloody.
"Hera! " I carefully climbed higher and higher. Feeling my anxiety build. I slipped on a branch and lost my shoe. Staring at the.white sandal, I had accepted it's loss and proceeded to climb -until I saw Sinbad picking up my sandal. Studying it.
"Hera! " He yelled out.
"Sire, we can't find her anywhere." A guard said while holding his staff. Sinbad frowned.
"We'll just have to look farther. Last I've seen her was around here.. " Ja'far said.
"Hera, you spoiled brat. " He mumbled. "Keep looking, I have a feeling she's here. "
When everyone else was gone, I still stayed in the tree. Sinbad was still here, and I rather not see him at this moment. The sky was getting dark, and with it came rain. I sniffed and shivered. Sinbad quickly used his head for cover.
"Man, I swear she's like a dog. Always getting loose and running off the moment I take my eyes off her. I'll have to buy her a collar or something. " He says before looking up at the tree.
"Hera! How did you get up there? You're afraid of heights! " I covered my eyes.
I'm dreaming.
He's dreaming.
This is all a big dream.
I was soaking wet, and while trying to scoot closer to the tree trunk - I had slipped and fell. Ironically landing in Sin's arms.
I looked down at my hands, and noticed my finger was out if place. Scratched up from fingers to forearms.
"Let's get you home.." He said, while walking back to the palace. I fought my tears and sat in silence.

When we finally got back, Everyone kept running to Sinbad. Checking on his condition. I've recieved my scolding from the generals. Telling me how ungrateful I am ; and that Sinbad shouldn't be so lenient towards me all the time. He said nothing more to me, I can tell when he's upset with me.
"I'm fine." Sinbad kept telling everyone. I quickly walking to my room and looked at my scars. I couldn't feel my fingers, and my arms reminded me of my younger days.

When I can still say I had Sin.

I winced and slowly popped my fingers back into place. Letting out a deep breath, before going to cover my arms and feet.

Burying my face into my knees. I know how Sin feels now, and I thought running away would give him the freedom he needs.

"Hera, " I looked up and saw Ja'far. He was leaning against the door with his hands tucked in his sleeves. " You should've taken a bath before having someone else treat those wounds properly.It will help clean the wounds. "
I laid on the floor again.
"It seems you haven't decorated your room to your liking. " He adds while walking around. Taking a look at the lackluster of my bedroom.
"Even when Sin asks you to - twice. " I didn't look at him again, but I knew he was gone now. I covered my face from the world and decided to weep again.

"How are your wounds? "Sin asked while closing the door. I held my hands close and looked away. He just nods and offers me a seat, which I accepted.
"I'm running out of ideas. " He mumbled. I reached for paper and took his quill. Dipping it in ink, and writing.
don't  keep going..
"But I want to. I need to. " He said.
I kept writing.
I'll survive now.
"As a servant, Hera?! I'm basically doing what they've done to you!"
I bit my lip this time.
It's not something I'm not used to. You haven't forced yourself on to me or make me do something i don't want to do.
" You - of all people - should know the type of person I am."
I don't. You've changed so much that I would rather keep my mouth closed to you, then hurt twice more.
I thought, but Sin sighed at me. Holding his head and closing his eyes . He looks so handsome when he thinks.
"You don't trust me that well, I see. My goal is to make everyone here feel safe and happy. "
I wrote on the paper.
And you've done that, My lord.
The look in his eyes made my eyes water. He looked so scary.
"It seems I haven't yet,since I haven't heard a word come from your mouth."
My words are not important, they can be changed easily.
Sin was smirking now. I stood up and quickly bowed,but Sin was on me. His hand laced with mine,my body within his embrace. Our eyes were locked;but I quickly grabbed the quill and began to write again.
My lord, please stop.
"I just wanted a kiss. You owe me so much -a kiss is just being lenient. I could go farther. " I shook my head again, and tried to move again. My eyes were watering.
That was when the door had opened, and I slipped out of Sin's arms.
Running back out to the balcony. I tensed up, and slowly stepped back.
That's really high up.
I...I can see the clouds from here. I shivered when I felt Sin's hand hold mine. waving to his people. Then he Pulled me closer to him, and tilted my chin with his fingers.
"It's like a dream isn't it? To finally be close to the person you love. To enjoy their warmth. It's almost as if you don't want to wake up. "
I couldn't retaliate against him. His lips were pressed against mine. His eyes were closed, and everything felt so right. He pulled me closer and the kiss excelled. His hands on my waist and they went lower. I gasped, but then met Sinbad's tongue. I don't know what's happened to me, but I wanted more.

I needed more.

We had stopped, and I quickly walked off. Only to feel a heavy smack against my butt. My face was more red than a rose.

Why did he do that?

"I hope to see you tonight, my Hera. ~" He purred.
