Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Humor
Chapter1: I'm too young for marriage!
If anyone wanted to know, her new name was now Harriett Malfoy, with two R's and two T's, because two is better than one. Or that's what Hellena Malfoy with two L's and two E's said. Who was Hellena? Well, she was that man's daughter… DAUGHTER! A perky blonde girl, that was three years older than her, was his daughter!
::The gall of that man. He is old enough to be my father! No, my grandfather and he- he- ugh!:: the green eyed girl groan and hissed as she squatted down against a door on the upper floors of the man's mansion.
Really it wasn't the age difference that bothered her, because she really didn't care. But it was the fact that he did already have a family, with thankfully a deceased wife.
::Wait that sounded wrong, am I being insensitive?:: The black haired child asked her loyal friend, who was always wrapped around her neck like some kind of weird chocker.
Heru responded as he slithered up so they were face to face, :: Doesss it matter? Are you not just angry about him having a daughter, not a few momentsss ago?::
::Right… He has a daughter! Who is older than me! That treats me like I'm a play thing!:: She hissed angrily.
::The father treats you one as well, my lady:: Heru responded nonchalantly, or as nonchalant as a deadly snake could get.
::Yeah, but that's a given. He's greedy old man! She's eight!:: The green eyed child rebutted, with conviction, and a pout.
::Children do often treat others as playthings, esssspecially ones who are spoiled… like-::
:Don't you finish that sentence… I was not spoiled… and I am not:: she sighed.
::I wasn't refering to you my lady…::
::Oh… then, oh- right… The villagers… My so called children…::
::Yessss… I told you… You should not have done all those things… the lord specifically told you not to show your powerssss… but you just had to save that man from his death…::
::I couldn't just watch him plummet to his doom…:: her shoulders sagged as she relived that moment where her life changed and she was thought to be a goddess instead of a priestess in training… She was only 1 then, but somehow she knew, she things. Things just came easier to her after she turned 15 months.
::Yet, here you are now, sitting here in Ochina-::
::Ochima:: she corrected, just out of habit.
::Ochima, and they are there… Dying…:: Heru hissed dramatically while doing some kind of full body wiggle.
::It's not like I could do much else… I used the majority of my magic to make sure they don't starve…:: she held him still with both hands, his head cradled in his right palm.
::Making the water source fresh water and clean. Making the soil fertile and the plants lush, making the-::
::Okay, okay perhaps I went overboard with my last burst… but my magic will come back, in a few days, weeks…surely…::
::Surely… and what will you do until then?:: Heru slipped back into her fur jacket, it was much too cold here during winter.
"I will learn…" she told herself.
"Harriet, where are you?!"
::And hide from that menace!:: she hissed as she quickly got up off the hardwood floor and rushed behind the door into a hallway closet.
::Hissssssss::
::Stop laughing at me!:: she hissed as she shut the door behind her.
::Yesssss, my lady::
There they stayed for the next three hours. Heru napping, and the child contemplating…
The man had given her an ultimatum earlier on their way here, via blimp.
He said, "I am not a madman. I will not wed you while you are still a child," when she asked him was it tradition, from where he was from, to wed a child. She asked him when would she be considered an adult, and he replied, "When you receive your first blood…" He looked so uncomfortable when he said it. Even more so when she kept questioning him about what a first blood was.
Of course she never did say she didn't know what a menstrual cycle was, but Heru was bugging her to keep agitating him, and so she did. It was also very boring on the blimp, as he didn't let her leave his sight and staring out the blimp would only awe her for so long.
"First blood… if I'm lucky, it will not have it until I am eighteen… and by then I will have been long gone. But realistically I will have had it by 16 as did the other girls in my village have had their by their 14th or 15th year. Some even sooner, did they not? Mesa, she had hers when she was just 11…" She grimaced.
"Oh, I hope I don't have mine by 11. Possibly I will have be gone by then, it is six years from now, and I only plan on learning the basics of how to get around, and where to go. Once my magic returns, I will have no need for nourishment or shelter… but to learn the layout of this mansion will take a few days. The surrounding areas will take another few days possibly even a week seeing as the security force has different routines for guarding the city… And such a large city it is… and to actually blend in…"
Realistically it would take weeks or even months… and it would be even more difficult being stuck here… even if I were to get out, I would only be brought back. The security force would see a child wandering the streets and ask for parental guidance, as was the first thing asked of me when we landed… She remembered the look of disgust on the guards face when the man said she was his wife to be… but the guard was a bright one and said nothing, only looking the other way…
"Ah! Perhaps… perhaps if I could get the guards on my side… No, no they would be bribed or given a bounty for bringing me back…*sigh*" she huffed as she rested her head on her knees. The child could hear people running around shouting out that ridiculous name.
"Lady Malfoy!"
Who in their right mind would name a person with the same surname as her supposed intended? If anyone ought to see us, they would think, 'Ah a father and child.' Silly man… But… this silly man is my prison guard…He holds the key to my freedom…
She heard shouting, and knew that man was yelling at the poor servant girls for their 'incompetence'… Though she has only been in her prison for half a day, she had heard him many times. "Incompetent, incompetent, incompetent!"
She couldn't take the shouting anymore, the poor servant girl was crying, for pity sake!
"I'm right here," she groaned as she stepped out of the hallway closet. For some reason, she thought of spiders and burnt bacon. Heru awoke as the light hit his unshielded eyes.
"My goodness child, you scared me. And pray tell, why were you in a linen closet?"
"…" She kept silent.
"Sigh, well you missed dinner. We'll have to have some servant rustle you up some nourishment. You won't be growing if you don't have your nutrients."
Nutrients… Mesa was wealthy and a bit on the chubby side… That's why she had her menstrual so quickly… She was well fed… If I could just eat enough to survive… Perhaps I will have more time to devise a plan of escape. With that thought she let out a huge grin, much like a new born babies, and the flowers in the surrounding vases bloomed, the others that wilted regain their vigor.
The man thought it was because of the careful answer he had give her. He noted to dote on her more, to ease her into giving him what he wanted. Those fools on that island don't know what they've given up… as he lead her to the dining room with a gluttonous leer.
To be Continued...
Author's Note: what do you think? Okay? Rusty? Too boring? I'm trying to add elements of the Potterverse into the story, but at the same time keep it Hunter verse (well, Ochima is in the Hunter verse.)
