Finding Home

Chapter 1

"Get back to work, slave!" One of the guards yelled at one of the elderly women. She fell to the ground. The guard got out his whip and started whipping her. I turned back around to my work, knowing that he's going to kill her.

This is how it works around here, if you can't work anymore you'll die. I've stood up for people before, but that didn't turn out to well.

I'll take a minute to tell you a bit about Mammoth and all the evil creatures.
It used to be really peaceful here in Mammoth, that is until all the evil creatures wanted power over all my kind. Mammoth is beautiful, really. But if it weren't for me and my kind, it would look like a dump. The creatures have green - grayish skin with these gross bumpy things, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Anyways, they are way taller and way stronger than my kind. They have no hair. They have little weird holes for ears, there eyes are red, it's very rare that you'll find one with all black eyes. People say that they have yellow blood, which is really creepy. The leader of them is Noah, I'll explain more about him later.

"Slave, your shift is over" One of the guards walked me out of the garden.

Everyone of my kind live together in the slave house. I'm really excited to go back and see my group, their really awesome.

I get to the slave house, and right away I see Malik, Taylor, Colin, Spingate, John,and Parker. The guard left and I immediately went to my friends.

"Hey Marcia!" Taylor waved happily, I don't know how she's always happy even though we're treated like crap.

"Hey Tay" I replied bluntly.

.:Soon after:.
"Sorry guys, my breaks over" I sighed.

"Stay out of trouble Mar" Malik said and everyone nodded.

Me and Malik are really close, we've been each other's family ever since our parents died.

I walked out of the slave house, and to the kitchen. You see, everyone has about 3 or more jobs a day, which is paid with crumbs of bread but not enough to tie you over till the next day. My jobs are gardening, kitchen duty, and laundry.

I get inside the kitchen and put on my apron. I love baking and cooking, but not for these creatures, they eat a LOT.

"Slave, take over cleaning the dishes" one of the nasty guards demanded.

I walked over to the huge sink. While I was cleaning I heard screaming, all the women - including me - ran to the the noise.

Out of the window was a little girl - about 12 or younger - being beaten. Her now bloody long blonde hair over her eyes, she had blood oozing out of her nose, puking blood. Her left leg ripped open, and she had many wounds.

I quickly ran out and in front of the little girl.

"MOVE, YOU DUMB ASS SLAVE!" He Roared in my face, his green spit splattered on my face.

I quickly wiped my face off, and replied "Sorry sir, but she is a child, you can't kill her!"

"YES I CAN, SHE TRIED TO RUN AWAY, AND IT'S AGAINST THE LAW!" He spat coldly.

"Can you blame her, you treat us like garbage. You kill our families! You killed mine" I whispered the last part.

"Well maybe one day we'll kill you all. You should be grateful we haven't killed you already" He replied coldly, again.

With that he punched me in the gut and walked away. I quickly spit the blood out of my mouth, and picked up the little girl.

"Honey, can you tell me your name" I asked her.

"I'm tired"

"You can't sleep, can you tell me your name and a story about yourself" I started jogging to the slave house.

"My name is k- katy" She cried a bit.

She started telling me a story about when she was younger and her mother would sing her to sleep when she got scared.

I finally arrived at the slave house. "Help, someone help me!" Without another word people ran and took her to get fixed up.

.:2 hours later:.
I waited on my 'bed' for any news on Katy.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Malik.

"Hey Mar, you feeling ok" Malik sat on the bed in front of me.

"Kinda, I'm just really worried about that little girl Katy" I answered.

"I know, I heard all about it" Malik sighed.

"Marcia, follow me please" one of our doctors said.

I followed him to a small room. He opened the door and I walked in to see Katy laying down with bandages wrapped around all her wounds.

"Hey Katy" I sat on the chair beside the bed.

"Hey... um, what's your name?" She giggled a little.

"I'm Marcia" I smiled

"Marcia, there's a reason I'm trying to run away" She told me.

"And what's your reason? You do realize how dangerous that is?"

"Yes I do, and I can't tell you myself, you need to find my uncle Douglas, he'll tell you everything you need to know" She hand's me a map.

"You should really get going now" Katy hugged me.

"I think I'm going to go at midnight, is that ok with you?" She nodded in response.

I left the room and went to my bed.

Ok, so now I have to find a guy named Douglas without getting caught, this should be fun (note the sarcasm).
