Bound with fear

Father

…………….. Iagan turned his back as I stood up and removed the towel and I eased the dress on. Mia moved my hair over my shoulder and pulled up the zipper before putting my hair back she picked up the shoes I raised and eyebrow

“You walk in those?”

“I don’t Mistress these aren’t for maids” she knelt on the floor I slipped a foot in and immediately wobbled is I balanced on the one as the other was put on my foot

“Iagan” he took a deep breath and turned around “I think I’m going to have to have help with walking” he looked me up and down inhaling again

“Guardian be wary” Mia said from behind me I glanced at her

“You hold your tongue” he tipped his head and looked at her “I am her guardian be mindful of it”

‘What is going on?” I questioned

“I’m speaking out of turn” Mia hung her head forgive me she hurried round making neat the room before leaving

“Would you like it if Anya was spoken to like that” I put my hands on my hips “If another guardian spoke to her like it”

“No other guardian would” he stepped out of the room

“How do you know?” I started to walk forward wobbled and fell into him

“Because for now I am the only guardian” he stood me up right and bent and picked up a cloak from the foot of the bed with the same blue lining as my dress was “There are protectors and fighters… he draped it round my shoulders “I was the one chosen to be your guardian above the other because I was the best at what I was trained for” he fastened the clip at my chest and reached over my shoulders and pulled up the hood

“But…” he stepped away from me and picked up his cloak from the hook by the door and swirled it through the air over and round his broad shoulders and fastened it he rested his hand on the blue stone on the hilt of his blade at his hip.

“But nothing we have to go to your father” he offered me his arm I rested my hand on top of his arm as we left the room people were in the hallway at the foot of the stairs as we went down heads were bowed as we walked by them to the large wooden door.

“Iagan… Iagan” A males voice came from behind us

“Robbie” Iagan stopped his arm still out with mine resting on it the dark haired man dropped to his knee in front of us “Can it wait?”

“No the master sent me to find you” his eyes lifted to me and he took a deep “Mistress” he dropped his head lower I looked at Iagan

‘That really has to change” I muttered, he smiled a little before looking back to Robbie

“What did the Master want?”

“He’s in the fight room waiting for you… something happened in his rooms last night” his eyes flicked to me “they have to be cleaned” I felt Iagan tense and I sensed his fear for his sister

‘Guardian, I want you to go and see where Anya is and I want her in my room” I instructed “Robbie will take me to my Father”

“Mo bhean No” Iagan shook his head Robbie was wide eyed at the suggestion “I said I wasn’t leaving you and I meant it” he faced me “You have no idea when the pain will return” he glanced round him at the people still kneeling

“And neither do you?” I countered

“I do” he said firmly

“How?”

“We need to get to your Father before you end up with another guardian” He clamped his free hand over mine “Robbie take the fight class in the courtyard today”

“Aye” Robbie nodded and looked at me and bowed his head as Iagan lead me down a hallway behind the stairs

“Do you take any order from me” I snapped

“I do” he nodded keeping his eyes forward

“WHEN?”

“When I’m told to turn my back while you disrobe and dress” he shot me a look “I am her for your protection mo bhean my life is there to be laid on the line and I will not have you in danger” we stopped at a black studded door

“But you let your sister” I snapped back He let out a hiss and glared at me as the door swung open

“Kendra mo inion” I looked round as my father stood in the middle of a black room surrounded with red candles. Their light catching flashes of metal on the walls “I take it you are rested”

“Yes Father but I have to ask…”

“My Lord may I attended to some fight business while mo bhean is with you” he dropped my hand from his arm

“Yes Guardian… I want you to go retrieve a weapon from my room that was broken and have it melted down in the forge” my father waved a hand in Iagan’s direction

“Yes My Lord” he glanced at me before turning in his heel in a swirl of Fabric the door clicking closed behind him.

“Where is Anya?’ I looked at my Father as I undid the clip to the cloak

“What does matter?”

“I want her as my Maid” I sat on one of the carved wooden chairs in there

“I will have her sent to you when she’s fit to work”

“Did you hurt her?”

“she was punished as all are punished for not doing what they are told” he walked round me “I’ve had betrayal and lose in my life for a long time Kendra now it’s our time to stop it all” He sat opposite me

“Where are my brothers?” he looked shocked and taken aback

“How do…”

“I’ve seen them in here and it hurts” I pointed to my head

“They are dead my darling” he looked down “You are here to avenge their deaths” I looked at him his eyes fixed with mine and the pain was back in my head and I slumped in the chair………………….
