Hey Peoples! I dunno where this came from but anyhu thought I might as well write it down and post it to see what ye think!
I'm completely winging it though!:S
Tell me what ye think please:-) Review!!!!!
Chapter one
Saroya cried out in pain as she was thrown roughly into the cold dark dungeon.
"Ha! Maybe you'll think of that next time before you try to assassinate the Prince!" said one of the guards leering t her.
She just looked at him from under her eyelashes as she lay where she landed. He laughed and slammed the door to the cell. The sound echoed eerily in the empty room. Only when she was sure no one was around did she let herself cry. She cried and cried, all the hurts streaming out and down her face with her tears as she remembered all that had happened in the past few weeks.
Her body was tired and sore and Saroya was pretty sure that the guard had dislocated her shoulder as he threw her in.
Faces and people, places and names flashed through her mind until they stopped on one face, one person, one place...
These thoughts made her cry harder, her heart aching with sorrow and her stomach a flaming pit of guilt.
"Why?!" she moaned. "Why me! After all I've done! Why me!!" she screamed so loud her throat hurt. What felt like hours later Saroya heaved a racking sigh and moved onto the wooden pallet that would serve as her bed and wallowed in self pity, plagued by memories...
Flashback (Saroya's POV)
Three weeks ago The Company had first approached me
It had been a wet, windy night when Clarisse, the substitute mother, carer and helper to all the girls who lived at the Red Night Inn had come for me. I had been relaxing in the lobby with my two best friends Roxy and Latoya. Roxy was a fiery Italian girl with long dark hair that fell in soft curls around her dark blue eyes and full pink lips. She was great fun to be around and never let her situation in life get her down. Latoya was a tall dark skinned girlwith long braided black hair and huge chocolate eyes. She was the silent supporter of the group and was always there when needed!
Clarisse had rushed into the lobby looking white and nervous.
"Saroya," she said "Saroya dear there are two men outside who want to talk to you."
Two men, who want to talk to me,well that's a new oneI thought, but said aloud;
"I'll go get ready will I?" for the Red Night Inn was not a normal Inn. It was a place where men came to enjoy some "night time pleasures". Yes Saroya was a Lady of the Night, an escort...a prostitute.
"I don't think it's that kind of talking Saroya." Clarisse said hesitantly.
"Oh." I was intrigued, and followed her out to the plush reception area.
There stood two men, almost identical in every way: both had charcoal grey suits and sunglasses with greased back hair and perfect moustaches.
"Gentlemen, this is Saroya Banks." Clarisse introduced me and I shook hands with them, not liking the look of them at all, they were too slimy looking, too greased and...clean!!
"Hello." I said. "How can I help you Gentlemen?"
"Is there somewhere we can speak in private?" said greasy man on the right.
" Certainly, there is a penthouse on the top floor we can use. I f you would like to follow me?" I replied, more curious than ever but beginning to suspect some ulterior motive from these two. I lead them to the lift, leaving Clarisse staring after us.
In the dark cell of the present, Saroya was again sobbing and was furious for doing so. She hated to cry, it was only a show of weakness and she hated to show any weakness at all, even with no one around! Suddenly she heard the lock scraping back on the huge door and she sprang up immediately into a sitting position. A guard walked through the door carrying a metal meal tray.
"Here, eat that. I'll be back in half an hour to collect it." He said gruffly as he left it on the grubby floor and then left, locking the door behind him.
Saroya quickly jumped on the half cooked bread and stone cold beans that made her gag but she wolfed them down anyway, such was the extent of her hunger!
After this she felt slightly better and went back to her bunk and there, much to her surprise, she fell asleep.
