Two Groups

Chapter 10

It was getting dark at the San Juan, The sky was dark the sun orange yellow, while the sky dark blueish, everyone had enjoyed the mass at San Jose church, but Zaccheaus could not attend it.
Well Zaccheaus, Luciana, and Estrella left the Church grounds to follow Alonso's master who took Alonso to the slave auction. They headed to the place at Caparra in about a half hour by carriage.
They exited out the carriage when it had stop at the destination. Everyone got ready to enter the building not only physically but mentally. It was quiet, they all did not talk to one another. Zaccheaus opened the door for everyone, letting them all in.
Zaccheaus entered last, he then saw the same cruel faces people put when they saw the slaves he remembered as a young kid being sold. They all was seeing everyone drinking, talking, some even dancing inside around. Luciana put a serious face, she did not talk or do anything. She just kept walking, truth be told she hated all of this. She hated the fact of people being sold then mistreated as well being called slaves.
Estrella was sad at the site she saw, but she never saw this before. She was the most in shock of the whole trio there. She wanted to do something to free them to help them escape. Till her father put his hand on her shoulder shook his head, he then walk back following behind them.

The seller took a whistle out, he smiled grimly. His wrinkled face resembling a worn out rag. He blew the whistle then the line start. It was different from usual, Alonso was not there participating. Then two kids appeared behind the stands. It was Alonso and some other kid. They both were pulled from the stage to be blinded by a Band that was covering their eyes. They were taken to a fighting ring, then were pitted against each other as a show.
Estrella was shocked, she was looking at two people fight. Two in which are the same age as her. Luciana stayed quiet and looked down. She hated these people for doing stuff like this.
Zaccheaus stayed quiet, his fingers were shaking. He began to clenched his hands he remembered.

Flashback.......

It was a dark place cramped inside Zaccheaus had woken up. He was tired he did not slept well in the cell, he was not in the sold cell. He was bought by Luciana much young at the time. But she was not currently there, the door opened to see a bright sun light. He walked out to see other Slaves coming out, he then see a man yelling at the slaves and at Zaccheaus.
" Fight!" Yelled the man, Zaccheaus saw the other slaves began fighting against each other. He stayed there to see that all of them fighting. Trying to not get in the way and fight the last. A while later one came to Zaccheaus after defeating the rest. He came to punch but Zaccheaus dodged the hit, then landed a blow on the guy's face. Knocking him back, there was an uproar from the crowd. The people watching were asking for a refund or punishment for Zaccheaus. Believing to be fixed game.
The man with a whip came and got in the ring then started to hit Zaccheaus as hard as he can with the whip. Zaccheaus dropped down to his knees, he could feel his back getting numb as well as blood trickling down.
Then the man stopped hitting, Zaccheaus looked up to see a young lady's face with black frizzy hair staring at him which was Luciana in the past. He was grasping for air he saw that she did not stop looking at him.
He finished gasping to see that she wanted to help him up. He did, then he looked at her she smiled. She took his hand and lead him out of the arena.
Everyone was staring at him, yelling calling him names. Throwing stuff at him but Then he followed her, and entered in the carriage.

Later.......

He was brought to the manor by carriage, Zaccheaus was tired he spent the entire time in silence so he became sleepy on the way. He was not bored though, he had a young lady in front of him. He did not know how to speak her tongue, but he did thought she was kinda cute for a Guami'ken.
The door of the carriage opened, Zaccheaus wanted to leave and escape but she saved his life. He decided he will owe her till she decided she does not need him anymore.
She brought him to a house full of slaves. She opened it, it was empty. No slaves in it? Weird. I look to see that they were other houses around this shelter. I enter to see a bed, some bowls, kinda dirty but I can mange with it. She left me to do some work then I started to clean the shelter.
