After getting dressed I make my way towards the kitchen putting my apron on before grabbing the sponge and rubbing soap on to it.
Hearing footsteps coming towards me at a fast pace I turn trying to run.
Stop! Running away from him will make him mad.
I quickly turn around and try to find a place to hide.
Stop. If you hide he will find you and you'll be in even MORE trouble.
I get up from my crouching position and make my way back to the sink.
Just wash the dishes he probably wants a snack.
I scrub the plate softly waiting for his arrival. Please don't be mad. PLEASE!
Hearing the fast footsteps turn into running and a loud bang at the door I turn pressing my body closer to the sink wishing to melt from the water.
Only witches do that.
I know but I don't wanna be hurt again.
Just except this, this is your life now just-
Just try to listen and behave and maybe he'll go easy on you.
When has he EVER gone 'easy' on me?
I slowly make hesitant step toward the wooden door, pressing my face to look through one of the holes I see a young boy sitting on the floor.
A boy?
Maybe he's here to replace you.
What, are you trying to say he's going to kill me so the boy can take my place?!
No lets- let's just help this boy and see why hes here.
Okay.
I slowly open the door making sure no one see me.
If they saw you you'd sure as hell get a beating.
You don't think I KNOW THAT.
Rolling my eyes I see that the coast is clear. Bending down I place my fingers to his throat and see if he's alive.
Hey, why risk a beating ifs hes dead right.
Feeling a pulse and see his chest moving with every intake of air I grab a hold of his shirt and drag him into the kitchen.
Hes wearing fancy clothes.
Maybe he stole them.
Why run here then?
Maybe to frame me.
With that thought i frown and kick his leg gently. Hearing him groan I kick him again trying to wake him.
Hes not even moving! Kick harder.
But I'll hurt him.
Kick. Harder!
With that i pull my leg back as far as it can and swing it towards him.
Hands wrap army ankle causing me to scream and fall from the lack of balance.
This is what I get for listening to you. I fall on m butt too. Stupid mut.
Groaning while rubbing my bottom I look up and see a chest.
Where's the face? OMG IS HE THE HEADLESS HORSE MAN!?
No you idiot we're just really tiny compared to him.
We're 5'6 we are NOT 'tiny'.
We are to him.
I look up and see him staring down at me. Not creepy at all.
"Why are you trying to kick me?"
"Why are you even here in this room? The world may never know."
"I know."
"Do not"
"Do too"
"Not"
"To"
"Not"
"I can tell you if you stop talking"
"Deal"
With that I get comfortable on the floor and await for his story.
Hes Hot.
You're gross
He is!! Look at him!
With that thought I take a long look at him. His hair was a curly mess of blond with streaks of brown in it. His warm looking hazel eyes that you can get lost in. His skin Cristal clear and soft looking.
Like a baby's butt.
Shut up.
I let my eyes travel to his chest.
You can see his six pack!!
Yea cause his shirt is wet.
Why was he running? He looks like an angel!
Just stop talking.
"Okay so I was running away from home, but the guards where trying to stop me so I thought that by coming in the old, smelly, peasant's wash room they wouldn't find me. Which is in fact true seeing as they haven't barged in here, but I ran into a door. Which I dont understand because peasant's are to leave all doors open at all times to the upper class can walk in freely when choosing."
"I'm not a peasant so I can close them"
"Oh, so you just happen to do all the cooling and cleaning?"
With that comment I glance at him in shock. Why would anyone notice me?!
"That's right I've noticed you quite I a lot and gathered some information from it."
"And w-what might t-that be?" I say getting extremely nervous by the second.
"You are in fact no peasant, yet you do everything one shall do and more."
"What do you mean more?" Taking a gulp I await his answer.
"You take any beating from anyone that wishes to give you one, why?"
With that said I look away not wanting to speak to him anymore. Getting up off the floor I make my way to thw sink and continue my task at hand.
I hear footsteps make their way towards me and a hand on my shoulder turning me to face the man behind me.
"I asked you a question and I expect to have it answered." He says with authority in his voice. Scared he is going to hit me for disrespecting him I flinch away closing my eyes not wanting to see where his hand will strike me.
After seconds of waiting I open my eyes to see the man in front of me looking down at me with hurt laced in his once bright hazel eyes.
"I would never hurt you" he says lookin down at his feet.
