EMERALD
EMERALD walked across the hallway of the Richardson's Manor which sat close to the major market in the heart of the great city of Norcester. As she walked across she could hear her name echoing loud from the main hail at the end of the hallway.
Ken should hear her footsteps fast approaching by now but that bastard has just always found pleasure in making life hard for the many slave girls in the large manor. How she wished she could just ......
"Emerald !", she heard the thunderous voice yell again from the main hall. She wondered what it was again this time as she picked up her pace to make it down the hallway.
On getting to the hall, she saw Ken standing by two women. One of the women was aged most likely in her 80's, Emerald thought. Her skin tone and fragile look gave Emerald the impression the woman was an important personalty, if not she's definitely very rich as was many of the visitors that came to the Richardson's Manor during the last few months of each year.
"Take these women to the second Master's room upstairs",
Ken said authoritatively
"and check on Lloyd in the study, tell him his mom has arrived"
he added
who gave him the audacity to call the master,the Lord of the Manor by his first name
She collected the luggage from the much younger woman beside whom Ken stood. And off she was . She admitted she hated her life and it was only a matter of time before she would escape from here and she would do it with or without the help of Stephanie.
.................................................................
Emerald walked across the field, her favorite place in the Manor. The smell of the air out here gave her a form of sensational joy, here she could clear her head and talk about her plans to her best friend in the Manor, Scott.
She sat at the edge of the well mown grass plain, the stable a few meters behind her. She began thinking about her escape plan with Stephanie. She thought about how good it would be to be free. She would go to her aunt's who lived in the neighboring town called Adimorleh. She was still thinking when she realized she had been hearing horse hoofs closing in on her location.
just as she turned to look, she saw Scott racing towards her direction.
"Scott! Scott!!"
she called the horse's name with an outstretched arm towards it in an attempt to calm the animal but the horse was too terrified and raced past her. At first she was dumbfounded, Scott was the most gentle horse around here and for something to make him that scared.....
She turned back to look back at the stable and probably go check what was going on in there. Fear took over her whole being when she turned to the face of a giant monster, blood red eyes glowyng and staring down at her almost two feet above. The low growls from the breath of the monster sent thrills down her spine.
what is this..... Am I gonna die..... why is it staring at me..... just kill me already..... Stephanie I'm sorry.......
Her head felt lighter with each thought that crossed her. She wanted to say "Satan be gone" but as she opened her mouth all that came was gasps and slowly, the red eyes faded into darkness.
