Ok, so im starting off in a village of slaves. There is 2 classes, slave or master. There are not many escapes, but a main one is death.
"I have to keep running. Their going to get me! I cant stop, stopping means... STOP! Dont think like that or you will make yourself sick and you will have to stop. I have to keep running. I cant end up like Jinny, oh poor Jinny. I shouldn't of left her back their... Oh my gosh! Their catching up!" I mutter every word except the last phrase.
I dont know how long ive run, but i cant stop. They have sent the hounds on me, and i cant stop running. I see a ditch and i dive into it to catch my breath. I rub dirt all over me to cover my scent, and cross a river thats in the ditch. Now i stop for breath.
"One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Seven... Eight... Nine... TEN!" And then i start running again. The howls seem ever closer than before, but i cant stop running.
Then i see the first hound. Its Tiber, the fastest one, and the most ambitious. I slide, pick up a sharp rock and hurl it at Tiber. It catches him right in the face, making him stop and howl.
I cant believe how far ive come, because ive made it to the cliff. The last place you wanna be caught, because you have to make a choice. Either jump, or go back to the Village, the Village of Slaves.
Soon, im surrounded by hounds, but they dont attack, because they cant attack me. They have been taught not to, but they will when the hound master shows up. But i would rather die than see him.
I look down, to see if theres any possibility that i would live. There isnt any. So, i wait for the master of hounds.
Theres a rustle in the bushes and i prepare for the worst that could be thrown at me. "You know, we didnt have to do this, you could of just been a good girl and waited for morning. We could of talked, you and i. You could of told me you didnt want to marry." Said a sly voice, the voice of someone who i thought to be my friend.
"I already told you, i will not marry someone like you! I thought you were my friend! I thought i could trust you! But no! Your just like every perverted master's son who got alittle bit of power and noticed a pretty face with an ok body!" I practically screamed.
His name was Edmund, and i thought he was my friend. Last year i was being beaten by his father, but he stopped him and asked if he could have me instead. Edmund had said he hated the fact that we had slaves, and would save every slave he could, if he could. But it was all a lie. He confronted me an hour ago, and wanted me to marry him. Thats another way to be free.
"Please Eve," For that was my name, "I really do like you! Its not my fault that you just so happen to have grown up and i just so happen to have been made a Jr. Master of the Hounds." He said in a innocent voice, but his sly face said it all.
"What will happen if i come back? What will happen if i surrender and come quietly?" I asked the last part in a whisper, afraid of the answer.
"Surrender? You make it sound like we are at war! Well, no one actually knows you ran away... i could say we went for a walk while i took the hounds out for a run, and you slipped, for an explanation for the dirt. But..." His voice drifted off, leaving that menacing but in the air.
"But...?" I tried to jump start him, deciding to play his game. "But, you must accept the proposal, and MARRY me!" He finished, examining my face, but his eyes trailed down my neck, to my chest...
"So? What will it be? Will you accept? Will i have to blow the whistle and send the hounds after you, and say it was an accident and that we were only minus one slave?" He finished, enjoying the horror on my face.
I did the only thing i could do to save my pride, my mind, my soul, and my body. I jumped. I heard a loud NOOOOOOO! but that was muted out when something strange started to happen.
My body transformed. I mean it was already transformed into the most beautiful slave in the village, and i had even heard whispers that i was the most beautiful in the village. I had long, straight blonde hair, my eyes changed color, and i had an amazing figure, up and down. But this was something else.
I was surrounded by darkness, except a single figure, and it wasn't death. It strolled over to me, and looked into my eyes. I heard one voice that must of been what he was. Griffin.
And then he walked right into me and i transformed. My feet grew long sharp talons, that were deadly yet graceful. My hands softened until it was like fur, and my nails sharped to a point, which i could retract at will. A long lions tail grew on the line bordering my but and my waste, perfect for grabbing things or whipping people. Lions ears grew on my head giving me wondrous hearing. And then eagle wings spouted on my back, large beautiful wings. On my upper arm, just below my should, a mark planted itself. Wings and lion claws, thats the best i can describe it.
When i came out of the darkness, i flew, shocking a tearful and angry Edmund. I never felt to free and happy, so i started doing tricks in the sky. I flipped, and i zoomed, and i twirled around. But then a spot in the sky started to open. A black swirling spot, getting bigger and bigger by the second. Soon everything was covered by the dot and i was next, and there was no escape.
Then i woke up in a cold sweat, on the day in my dream i was propossed to by Edmund.
