Soul Bound

Are You Safe?

Beginning note: This is the first time I have put the story into words from the original because the original does not make that much sense to the readers unless you know what happens.

The air was dry, it hasn't rained for a week meaning that the crops would be needing water. I was walking back from a long day of trading, it didn't go soo well. No one wanted to buy any of the materials of what I was selling, maybe next time someone will buy something. I walked down the alley, surprisingly there was no one outside selling, "click clack click" were the only sounds I could hear. Until I turned the corner, there was a small sound in the distance almost like a cry for help.

The closer I got to the sound, it sounded like a baby crying and it echoed far and wide. Surprisingly no one came to check out the sound, my eyes shifted around to see where the crying was coming from. A drop of water landed on my head which followed with more drops of water until it was raining. The sound of the child disappeared in the sound of the rain hitting the ground as my clothes began to drag down touching the ground while I searched.

My eyes spotted a basket on the side of the path, I rushed towards the object. My clothing flopped around as I ran towards the basket when I reached it I crouched down slowly moving up the cloth of fabric which covered the inside. It was a child, I watched the child as raindrops fell down onto the child's face. The baby smiled at me while it balled its fist up, moving it to the mouth while the eyes were squeezed close.

The child was soo cute, how could someone be soo heartless to leave a child to death? There was nothing wrong with the child, it is a strong and healthy baby, who could wish for more? But the child won't be healthy for long if I don't get the child out of this rain. I picked up the basket while getting up to my feet as I rushed down the pathway to my small little farm. Once I reached the home I opened the door with my foot as I walked inside closing the door after entering.

"Welcome to your new home" Now time to go clean ourselves, I placed down the basket on the table which was right in the corner of the room. The baby was still asleep as I reached my hands into the basket slowly picking up the half sleeping child. When the child was out from the basket I could see that the child had earring holes which looked freshly made. But the thing which shocked me the most was that the earrings had the royal crest of a powerful Kingdom.

My bag slipped down as I observed the child, they were bright red hoops with a royal black bead that moved when the child moved. I began to walk to the bathroom which was beside the table. The bathroom was mostly a big wood tub and a heater. I began to heat the water, it didn't take to long, just enough time to take off my clothes. I placed the child on some soft fabric, my clothes slowly slipped off once I undone the belt that rested on my hips.

Next, comes the underwear, I am a pretty good looking male I thought to myself. My pitch black hair is so long it reaches my hips, my skin is smooth and pale for someone who works outside. I'm not very tall so people sometimes mistake me for a women, through my whole life I've had that problem so I built this home a little far away from the village. The water is now warm enough, I picked up the child sitting down on the floor then I picked up a big bucket placing that beside the child. My hands then moved under the arms of the child placing it in the big bucket.

Was the child a girl? Wait a girl? What am I going to do? I can't ask mother, she would want to know who I had the child with. Wait, isn't a girl the same as a boy? You just have one less place to wash and another of place to wash?! But where? It took me a few seconds to realize what "ohh,okay"so here you have to wash. She noticed that something was wrong as she pulled on my hair which hung down.

Her fist clutched my hair as she pulled "come on let go" I said in a sweet voice, but she didn't let go. I let out a slight sigh as she played with my hair. Better to have her busy then to fight back, but I was dead wrong she splashed me with water. That was soo tiring I just want to rest now so I tried to get up, but she still held onto my hair "do you want to come?" she didn't understand what I meant. I took her pull as a yes as I bent down and picked her up cradling her in my arms.

The rest of the water that was heated was poured into the tub which was still hot. I laid down in the water placing her on my chest, she seemed to be happy "well aren't you happy?" She let out a big smile while she pulled on my hair, the rest of my hair moved around in the water. Her eyes caught sight of it, she tried to grab it but fell inside.

My arms caught her before she went too deep inside as I moved her back onto my chest "you gotta be careful" after all of that she finally seemed tired, her head rested on my chest. "I think it's time for us to get out" her eyes were slightly open that was a sign that it's time. My arms wrapped around her as I got out of the bath pulling up a piece of wood that allowed water to flow to outside to the crops. I picked up my soggy damp clothes and placed them in the empty bucket. My feet guided me to the bedroom which was on the other side to the bathroom.

Once I got to the bedroom, I looked around for a cloth I could use to cover her as I placed her on the bed bare bottom. Finding a cloth that fit her wasn't really the challenge, but the next part was because now I have to get it to fit her. After all that was finished, I was beat so I grabbed some clothes putting them on. At last a break, walking onto the bed slowly picking up the child. I was ready for bed, I slipped into the sheets as she laid asleep in my arms. Her cute little chubby cheeks puffed up while she smiled at me. My eyelid grew weak while my head fogged up and sleep took over.

"Push, push one more time your royal highness" a woman's voice echoed as pain ran through me, my whole body ached with pain my head moved to the side "it's a female, your royal highness, what shall we do with her?" My poor child, she can't bear the burden that will come maybe she can live a better life as a normal person. "Please tell my majesty that she died at birth. Chiyo, will you please take my child away from this cursed place, far away" my voice was barely keeping in the sobs for my first born child shall be taken away, but better than being property.

"As you wish your highness" her voice trailed off as tears escaped my eyes. I could hear loud stomps that were approaching the door, the next following sound was the door slamming open to reveal his majesty. He stood in front of the door, his clothes dragging on the ground as he approached the bed. He was clearly angry to hear the first hair to the throne was dead and most importantly a women of all things. "What is this nonsense, that I hear" his voice was loud and booming, he moved closer to the head of the bed. His foot tapped on the marble floor impatiently waiting for his answer that he sees fit.

The servant around me retreated under his presence as he shot glares at the ladies demanding an answer. One of the ladies moved closer to him as she bowed down. But he did not get the answer he wanted "the child is dead your majesty" one of the ladies was brave enough to speak up to him, her voice trembled as everyone's gazes turned to her in amazement except his.

He stared down to her "How dare you wretched girl lie to me!" he yelled at the girl as she cringed while balling up trying to protect herself. But that didn't help as he yanked her by the hair pulling her up while he looked down. His free hand moved back as it bad impact with her face, she went flying to the right side as her body made an impact with the ground. "Eek!" she made a sound before passing out from the pain.

The servants watched him in fear of his next action, he could tell he was not welcomed in here which infuriated him even more "leave us alone in peace!" He yelled at the servants as they scattered around trying to get out before it was too late, they looked back to me pleading how sorry they were.

He paid no attention to the servants which rushed out from the room. Once the door was slid closed that's when his horrible temper came out, he rushed to the side of the bed. Grabbing my chin up high as he looked me down. I couldn't take more of his abuse right now, my body was just too weak to stand up for myself as my eyelid dragged down sending me into sleep.

Authors Note: The thing is this is just the beginning of the story, I came up with this after a dream, lots of my stories that are made or have been created are from my dreams. I do not always enjoy what happens so sometimes I have to modify it so that it's not as bad as it used to be or make it so that the readers can understand it.
