The Serpent Alchemist ( on hiatus )

The girl in the street

I was standing outside of the brothal enticing the customers in " hey , cutie wanna come in and have some fun " I was wearing the 'kimono' my master had picked for me (see pic).

I watched the people walking past me down the street with heads bowed . I shivered the clothing wasn't exactly warm but I had to go inside soon and I wasn't really looking forward to that either . I waited and watched as a blonde kid and a man in a suit of armour walked past , chatting . I watched as they disappeared into an apartment building , I sighed an ducked inside to begin work .

I was the most experienced sex slave at my masters strip club , I made a stop out the back and touched up a couple of young girls makeup and hair . They were probably too young but this place wasn't too bad , they weren't beaten and there wasn't actually any pain unless a special girlie came in . I stared at my reflection in the mirror and wrinkled my nose , God I hated myself sometimes . Sighing I added some rouge to my boobs before heading off to serve my master .

I counted the money from last night , I was sitting in the closed club overseeing the cleaning up , wearing a plain t-shirt and a pair of skin tight jeans that went nicely with my collar . A lovely piece of jewellery that only I wore as proof that I was owned by my master , yes owned . My master bought me when I was 11 and I'd been used ever since for sex , for dirty jobs and other dubious things .

He trusted me now but I knew even if I ran away he would eventually catch me and kill me , it had happened a couple of times and I saw what happened to the poor girls who had . We all had , it was a very clear message .

I checked the accounts again yup, everything was there . I rubbed a zero out and stuffed a couple of bills into my bra . " It's all here master " I handed him the lump of cash and the sheet of paper with all the records of the dealings on it . He snatched it out of my hands and pawned through it he handed me a couple of bills " go buy some food for everyone bitch " I bowed deeply " yes sir " .

I strolled down the street in my casual wear , hopping on a tram and standing out the front feeling the wind stream through my long black hair .I filled paper bags with fruit , vegetables and various things we needed . Paying quickly I walked over to the book shop and stared at the display in the window , I stepped inside quietly and gazes around at all the volumes around me I headed for the back and the books on alchemy .

The blonde kid was standing in front of the shelf of alchemy books but because I could my see past my various bags I bumped into him . Knocking him over and dropping all of my bags " oi , watch it !" I heard him yell from under all the bags ." I'm so sorry sir I quickly picked up all my things and shoved them back into the bags , I bowed deeply before quickly gathering my things and exiting . He just looked shocked at my actions " wait miss , it's ok " he reached out to stop me and I flinched away from his touch. " I apologised jeez leave me alone !" I hurried off down the street with my arm load looks like I was gonna have to put off buying that book .

I was manning the door again wearing the same kimono , I giggled " you just so handsome come talk some more inside" I was hanging off the arm of a cute looking guy with brown hair who was walking past . After being brushed off gently I stepped back and watched him leave turning around I came face to face with the short kid from earlier on that day . Well he came face to face with my chest , I was staring over his shoulder at the suit of armour .

" can I help you kid ?" My voice was flat and my face was blank , " I saw you in the book shop this morning ... Do you work here ?" I stared impassively back conscious of watching eyes ." That couldn't have been me shorty , I don't make enough money to spend it on frivolously on things like books " he seemed pissed off " don't call me short or a midget or anything !!!" . I sighed and crossed my arms " since your not exactly old enough to come in push off mate ." I strode back to the door where my masters thug was waiting " don't keep the master waiting for you you dumb slut !!" He yelled at me . As I walked past him he whacked me over the head causing me to stumble slightly , the blonde kid on the street looked furious " HEY ARSEHOLE, DON'T HIT THAT CHICK !!!!" . The door clicked behind be as the yelling continued , I strode toward my master keeping my head bowed , I could tell he was gonna be pissed at me he hated waiting .
