.•. Slave of You.•.

.•.Prologue.•.

'This is really it' you thought to yourself. You could feel the ship as it pulled from the dock, away from any land that you knew. Your eyes we're wide in fear. 'There is no way to turn the ship around there's nothing I can do'. You looked around at the other shackled people.

Unfortunately,none were familiar.

You had been taken from your village by slave traders and from there sold to the Kou Empire, and from what you knew of,on your way there now. You had just set off about a few minutes ago. You had fought, kicked and screamed as much as you could but it didn't help.

Nothing set you off more then when they we're hauling you onto the ramp. As soon as the wood touch your bare feet you lost all control. Not wanting to damage goods they knocked you out with a simple spell and shackled you to the hull of the ship. A few hours later you woke up.

This is were you are now. Feeling the waves pull at the ship and the swaying was sicking. Nothing could be worse. Other then the pain that griped you as you thought about everything that was now gone. Everything you ever worked towards...killed. Every trinket, every person, every dream....

Gone.

But as much as it hurt. There was nothing you could do. You squeezed your eyes shut in anger and the tears that's lined your eyes dropped down your face. 'Why am I so useless in my own life. I can't even do anything but sit here. Why can't things be normal? Why can't I just be free?'  You cried all day with the others. Even when they all fell asleep you cried.

At first grief was the only thing you felt, uselessness,in spite of what happened. But soon darker feelings grew, anger towards the guards that came down to feed you,for the people that bought you like items, for the people that didn't see you as a person. A hatred formed. So much so that you screamed at them. You yelled to your hearts content.

"YOU ASSHOLES! JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"

"YOU ROTTEN SCUM!"

"IM HUMAN TO! TREAT ME LIKE ONE!"

Eventually it got to the point where they gagged your mouth. Never did they unbind you because they knew you would lash out. Other prisoners had to be changed to the hall as you're yelling somewhat rallied them together. Many men followed your lead yelling and screaming. Women with children yelled about there child. Some even attacked the guards.

This continued until The Kou made an example of one of the men. Nobody really expected this event to take place so suddenly. Pain held in his unblinking eyes, mouth still open in an unheard scream. His dark blood rolled around as the ship swayed. In thinner parts you could see it's carmine shade and see it shine in the stray sun light that let into the hull. They eventually threw his body over board but never did they clean up the stain. After this, the people became silent, afraid of what could happen to them.

But this just fueled you more. Hearing there children and wife's cry made you cringe. 'How could they just take a life like that. It's not there's and they have no right over it. We are not animals. WE ARE PEOPLE TOO'

You wiped you head around to try and remove the gag. Finally it fell to you neck.

"YOU MURDERS!" You yelled to get they're attention as they begin to walk up the steep stairs. Many of the prisoner begged you to stop. But you had already gained the nobles attention, and when he turned you gave him a look that could kill. "Why do you get decide who lives and who dies?" You spat.

"Because I'm not the one in shackles" he grinned he motioned to you," and being the one that is, I would learn to shut my mouth" and with that he being to climb the stairs again.

You rushed forward pulling at your chains,"you can't toy with my life!" He stopped, you could only see half his body now. The people cried in fear as he then dipped his head down and smiled at you.

"Grab her" was all he said then everything went by so quickly. Men rushed to you and people wailed. Women begged them to just let you be. But you fought back as they undid your chains. Once your hands were free you kicked a scream clinging to the haul, in which they had to peel you from. Dragging you up the stairs you tried to look around threw all the hysteria.

You were still under the ship but this seemed to be a sleeping quarters. You were dragged across the room to another stair with a trap door. One man went first to open it and he noble followed closely behind. The sun burned and blinded you.

"You,particularly,have been a large nuisance this who trip. We fought to get you on. We fought to hold you down and now! We have to fight to throw you off" he smiled and grabbed your chin. "Now if you would just be a good girl and acknowledge that your life is nothing but the life of a slave and stop all this nonsense. Maybe, just maybe. I'll let you live",with that the soldiers hauled you over and bent you over the side on your back. The noble man leaned over you body "it's just a few words my dear and I'll put you back down there with the rest of the slaves. We're you belong" you leaned up and spit in his face.

"Go to hell" he got a disappointed look on his face and waved you off.

"Very well" he said.

"Throw her off"
