Master and Servant part 1
A/N New story! Don't really know how to describe this, sort of fantasy type thing with warriors and gladiatorial battles. Oh! And sex! A fair bit of Kames sex! And maybe some others having sex too! LOL! Oh and Katie is James' sister in this...
At least to begin with...?
The General sat upon his horse watching as his troops below began to sort the surviving enemies into groups depending on their ages. The battlefield was littered with bodies and the town behind them was still burning brightly. A cart filled with women approached from the base camp and the first group of prisoners, babies and the very young, were handed up to the women in the cart. They were young enough to be given to trusted families and integrated into the community. Next came older children, they would be taken back and would enter into a life of servitude. Most of the adults would not live much longer and after the children had all been removed from the battlefield he gave the order and his troops began to systematically slit throats.
After the last of the conquered had been dispatched, there remained round about fifty youths between fifteen and twenty-five years old. They were pulled to their feet and rounded up, before being marched off back towards the new settlement of tents that had sprung up as the land had been claimed. The tall blond watched as they began to move off, then noticed some disturbance going on towards the back of the line. His captain and friend, Logan, was arguing with a young man with a girl clutched in his arms. He knew that the dark-haired man wouldn't strike out unless he needed to, but as the disturbance was causing Logan's horse to prance nervously something would have to be done before long. And he was in charge of this raid.
The man on the floor was obviously pleading with Logan about something, probably asking for mercy. But these men were not known for showing mercy. The General spurred his horse into action and made his way down to see what the fuss was about. He stopped beside his friend and removed his helmet, blond hair spilling out and jade eyes gazing down at the two people on the ground. One was a young girl who looked far younger than those left here should be, she was clutching onto the youth's broad shoulders and crying and screaming. He kept trying to calm her a little, all the while pleading that this was a mistake and that the girl was far too young to be left in this group. Finally he realised that someone else had joined Logan on the battlefield, turning to see the General gazing down at him, he fell silent as his eyes widened in fear. The most amazing pair of hazel eyes that the General had ever seen in his life. The youth was stunning. Soft brown hair and prominent muscles. Even through the blood and dirt of the recent battle, he was beautiful and the General's heart fluttered in his chest as he watched him prostrate himself at the feet of his horse.
"Please! Please! Master! My sister? She shouldn't be here! She is too young for what is to come. Please!" He reached up and touched the booted leg, half expecting to be kicked away, but for her he would risk the pain. The General knew what was expected of him. He was a mighty and powerful warrior, but there was something about this youth...
"What shall I do with them, Kendall?" His friend asked, "Shall I bind them to my saddle?" Kendall glanced down at the youth again.
"Girl! Stand up and come here!" The girl managed to stagger to her feet, even though she was still shaking and sobbing. Reaching down he took hold of the back of her ragged, filthy clothing and pulled her close to his horse. "I get to lay claim to my choice of these prisoners before the rest of my men enjoy themselves with the remainder." Logan nodded sharply watching as his friend tried to keep his prancing horse still. He turned and looked back up the hill where his other captain sat on his grey mare watching what was going on down the slope.
"Carlos!" He called, then gestured with his gloved hand for him to join them. Kendall, as General was entitled to as many of the prisoners as he wanted, though he had never before taken advantage of it. He smiled at the man with the golden skin with an elaborate mask across his face. Carlos may have been a fierce and deadly warrior, but to Kendall he was his friend with a hidden sweet and gentle side. Kendall swung the girl round to face him.
"I am laying claim to this girl. My birth-giver needs a new girl to help her in my kitchen. Take her onto your horse and deliver her to my tent. " Carlos reached forward and grasped the girl's hand, pulling her closer.
"Will I need to tie you, little one?" He growled. The girl stood shaking in front of him.
"No, master." He gave a brief nod of approval before hauling her off the ground by her wrists and swinging her into the saddle behind him.
"Good. Hold my waist!" He demanded and she obeyed as the horse began to move towards the encampment.
Once they were several hundred yards beyond the battlefield Carlos brought his horse round in a tight circle checking to see if anyone was following them. No one was, and due to the route they were taking, none of the other soldiers or his friends could see them either. He twisted in the saddle and looked down at the little girl who clung to him like grim death, eyes still red-rimmed from her crying.
"Listen to me well, girl. Behave yourself and you will be safe and secure where you are going. No one will hurt you, I will make sure of that. You will be expected to work hard, but you will not be treated badly. Now. What is your name, little one?" His wide smile was really confusing to her, these were in the invading warriors that had just destroyed everything that she had ever known.
"My name is Katie, master." She replied shyly. He smiled at her again before swinging his horse back into the direction of the tents, kicking his horse into a trot as he made for the biggest and most opulent of the silken structures.
Well, there ya go! First chapter up! The chapters in this are quite short, but please feel free to let me know what you think :)
