Aiasan turned around and looked at what everyone was gasping at, her back. She quickly retied her dress and acted as though it hadn't happened.
"Thank you, for the home and the food Gail." she said with a smile. She knew that her scars were ugly, the covered all of her back, cut marks criss crossed across her abdomen, her legs and arms too. But they weren't as bad as her back. She beamed at her kids and waved at them. Joking with them as the meal progressed. She couldn't think of a time when she'd been happier. She'd have no problem working for Gail. He wasn't like a master, like a friend. He was the most generous person she'd met to this day. (*looks at Kande* Gaurds? *idly swings her legs in her cage*) |
Gail looked at he and smiled "your welcome" he said and casted everyone a look. They all turned away right away. He hated when people did that to new comers. "just tell me if you need anything and I will get it for you" he said with a smile and everyone contnued to eat.
Blood came out of the bullet holes in him but he didn't care. He ran over to Allie and picked her up into his giant arms. he looked at her and kindness was in his eyes "you okay?" he asked in a rought voice. He checked her over and smiled when he saw that she wasn't hurt. ((yeah I know it is scary but now he is like a big huggable dog)) |
Allie gulped when he picked her up. Her head spinning. "yea.." she said softly kissing him. "what happened.." she asked him tilting her head to the side.
(brb gotta walk the dog) |
(*grabs Ivan and hugs him* PUPPY!!!!!!!!)
Aiasan just smiled and nodded. She could be happy here. Her kids were happy and so was she. She couldn't think of some place she'd rather be. She gave a dazzling smile to Gail and then procedded to eating. Packing away her plate delicatly she soon cleared the whole thing. She felt better. She had a warm bed, warm food, and roof over her head and some one she could count on for now. |
Gail smiled at her and soon finished his food. Everyone was soon done and started to help clean up. A man names Sam came over to Gail and smiled "the crops are doing great this year." he said happly Gail smiled at him "I told you before you dont have to work" he said and sam shook his head "we want to" he said and went over to sue and took her hand an dleft. Gail looked at Aiasan "your free to do as you please, the children can't get into much trouble here since the adult like to see them have fun" he said happly
Ivan smiled at her when she kissed him "they tryed to take you" he said softly and started to walk. But he didn't walk back to his cell. He was walking away form the slaves and into the city. Not many people stoped him since he was so big. |
Aiasan just shook her head. As she stood and began to help clear the table.
"They get into trouble for looking at people wrong." she chuckled. They were really innocent but were always off on some escapade. She didn't worry much though, there were ten of them which meant a whole lot more headaches and a stronger bond. She laughed and looked at Gail to include him in the joke. She would live here, and devote her life to this man. He had saved her from a fate worse than death. |
Gail laughed and helped clean the table. He liked her and she was welcome to stay here for her whole life which would be shorter then his. "well if your going to be staying here how about if I give you the grand tour of this place." he said with a smile. In the distance he could here Balin running away from some girls and chuckled a little bit.
|
"Ahh... It seems their trying to play tea time with him. Poor boy. He won't be able to run for long." Aiasan just shook her head and laughed. She was happy that there were other kids for them to play with, though torture didn't count. She took her load of dishes into the kitchen and put them in a new pile. If they were here when Gail was finished giving her a tour she'd come back and wash them.
"That would be great." she smiled at him and then waited patiently by the kitchen door. |
Gail smiled and walked into the kitchen after her. Right as he place his dished into a pile some woman came in and started to wash them. "please, I will get to them. you go have fun" he said as he looked at the woman. They shook there heads "no we want to do this" they said and contiued to wash. Gail sighed and walked out and smiled at Aiasan "are you ready for your tour" he said with a smile. Then took her by the hand and started to lead her around the house. It was huge. There where more rooms then you could count and Gail stoped at the one room. "this room hold all the pictures of all the former slaves I have held in my home." he said and there where more pictures then you could count. The oldest one was of a small little girl. Under the picture it said "sue smith" and the day she was born, the day she died and the day gail took her in. The day that Gail took her in dated back to 200 years ago.
|
Aiasan's eyes boggled at the amount of pictures before her. She could not count them all now. Then her eyes focused on on the picture of a little girl.
"But, isn't that the woman from earlier?" she asked wondering what was going on. It looked like her but she wasn't sure. Slaves were born and died everyday. It was rare for someone to have pictures of slaves they'd had. She touched the picture lightly and could almost hear her laugh. She snatched her hand back, thoroughly creeped out by that. |
Gail shook his head "no, the sue in this picture died a while ago. The sue here today is her grand daughter. But I did know this sue. She was such a nice lady, always lvoing and careing for the children I brought back with me." he said as he looked at the picture. "we named her after her grandmother since she was such a nice lady." he said and looked at her "you should know that not all of the people here use to be slaves, they where born here from former slaves and stayed here. But we dont care how they came to be here, they are just as welcome to stay here as everyone else. But most of them are former slaves, most of the ones who are born here leave after a while." he siad as he looked at her.
|
Aiasan nodded her head. Understanding suddenly.
"You're a good man Gail. You save lives, and help people. I want to thank you again for taking me from that place. There are many other like me in that place. And I wish that they didn't have to suffer so." she touched the surface of the painting lightly with her fingertips. Her face was pensive and thoughtful. The corners of her mouth turned downward in the beginnings of a frown, her smooth brow marred by frown lines. |
Allie looked up at him lovingly "your hurt" she said placing her hand near the holes in his chest. Instanly falling asleep, he was hurt, trying to save her. "Take this collar off me and I can heal you.." she said softly knowing her body would heal as well. "where are we going?" he asked tilting her head to the side, breathing a breath of fresh air as they stepped out of the shop.
|
"I am trying to reach them before they get sold to mean owners, but sometimes I dont make it." he said as he looked at her. "I have been trying to help slaves for 200 years, but so far I still feel like I have made no progress." he said and sighed as he looked at her. She looked very beautifull now and he smiled happly. "but I am glad that I managed to get you out of there"
Ivan gently took the color off and smiled at her. "we are headed anywhere away from here. No one will question what I am doing since they dont want to get hurt." he siad as he walked and people made a path for him. He could hear guards running after them but stoped right when they saw how big he was compared to them. |
"T-thank you. But I would've been one to survive. I've grown accustomed to the beatings and such. The only thing that got to me were the kids. They hadn't started beating them yet so it was bearable. I was ready to run when you bought me and the kids. I wouldn't let them live that life." Aiasan gave a pent up sigh and then smiled at Gail again. She had to look on the positive side of things for now, she was alive and virtually free. It was her choice to stay here with him. They children already loved him, so how could she leave? He'd make a great father figure when they'd never had one.
|
Gail nodded "yeah I could see that and that is why I took you. If you had run they would ahve cought you in a matter of seconds and would have beaten you and your kids." he said and sighed. "but I couldn't let that happen so I did what I did." he said and smiled. Then looked out the window, it was dark out. "well it looks like it is time to round up the kids and head to bed." he said with a smile.
|
Allie smiled at him when he took off her collar. Wincing a bit, gasping as she was lifted from his arms into the sky. A bright blue light shining through her body. The clouds going dark and it beginning to storm. Her body being reborn. The sky going blue and white puffy clouds, as the light blue light in her body faded. Bringing her slowly back into his arms. Her hair bright and healthy, her body's wounds healed, only scars remaining. Looking bright and beautiful like a true goddess.
|
Ivan watched as her body was being reborn. But hated having her out of his arms. But when she ws brought back to him he smiled at her. She was more beautifull then before. He kissed her gently on the cheek and continued to walk. "love you" he said happly as he looked at her.
|
Aiasan looked at him carefully for a minuted then shrugged. Then she turned around and whistled loudly. The sound echoed through the whole castle. She knew her kids heard her. She had them remember and learn signals for convinence. Even though her ears caught sighing ans shuffling around they all piled into the room and climbed into bed. Some chattered and others prayed. She smiled thoughtfully.
"No problem. They're where they're supposed to be." she shrugged and smiled at Gail. |
Allie looked up at him blinking a few times, feeling the power back into her body. She made a rainbow appear over the sky. "I love you too Ivan.." she said softly. Looking up at him, she placed her hand near one of the holes in his chest and a light blue light went into it, healing him of all his cuts and wounds, making him feel stronger and more powerful.
|
Gail smiled "well your kids listen my don't" he said and went over to a window and opend it. "hey time for bed." he called out. He heard the kids sight and come running out of the forest. Balin was with them "but we where just about to play tag." he said as he climbed in threw the window. "in the dark, I dont think so, now it is time for bed." he said and all the kids sighed and ran towards the rooms happly. As they came through the window he counted heads and smiled at the last one came in "okay that is all 25 of them" he said as he watched them run off then turned to Aiasan. "I hope you have a good night." he said then felt something tug at him. He looked down it was May "bed time story?" she asked and gail smiled "always" he said as he picked her up and carryed her off to her room.
Ivan smiled as he felt the wounds heal. "thank you" he said and started to pick up his pace as he walked. he was headed straight towards the forest where they could hide. He smiled at some little kids as he passed them and they sort of smiled back. "it feels good to get out of there" he said happly. |
Allie looked over at him smiling. It felt so nice to feel her energy again. "your welcome" she said softly. She could feel him walking faster, feeling stronger. Looking up to him she carefully took off his collar, they had tracking devices in them anyway. Throwing it aside as they walked, hugging him tighter, with her real strength.
|
Aiasan smiled gently at the little girl though she was sure her attention was on her father. She closed her eyes and began to hum to herself as she wondered through the castle. She wasn't sleepy yet, and would wander for better part of the night. She wandered out into the forest and smelled a sweet scent again. She shifted into a wolf and padded her way through the the forest, she saw Allie in the arms on some man. She walked over infront of them and sat. "Hey Allie, you escaped huh?" she grinned as much as a wolf could. Her pelt was a light purple because of her hair. She never could figure that out. How a wolf could be purple, and have a black eye and a purple one too. But she was more concerned about these two right now.
|
Allie looked over at the wolf in front of her. The aura seemed familiar but the sound of her voice. "Aiasan?" she questioned. "this is Ivan.." she said softly. She had looked much different now, they both did. Aiasan looked like she was taken care of. "so how is Gail?" she asked kindly still holding on to Ivan.
|
Ivan smiled at Allie and kissed her on the cheek when she hugged him. Then saw a wolf come out of the forest. He was still in his half human half wolf form and didn't change. He wanted to be ready just incase anything happend. He didn't want to take a chance in loseing Allie again.
