ok then,

on with the story...

As the first beams of sunlight entered my room, I opened my eyes. I had exactly twenty minutes to wash my face from the with the bucket of water outside, and make it to the generals office in order to receive my tasks for the day and be ticked off the list for appearance.

I got out of bed and felt a pain jab down my back. The mattress was once again thinning out, I would have to collect some hay from the barn on he way back from my days duties.

I massaged my neck and got up to walk outside. I had a sudden feeling that I was being watched, I turned around in a swift and sharp motion to hit straight into a man, falling to the floor with a lod thud.

I got up as quickly as I could, and started apologising, assuming it was yet another one of the morning guards that patrolled the rooms.

I moved my messy dirty blonde hair out of my face and risked a glance upwards. I was looking straight in two piercing black eyes. I let out a yelp in surprise and moved a step back, in case the guard decided to lash out at me. But the man just stood there. I looked away from his eyes to get a better look at him. He seemed about my age or maybe a few years older. Definitely not a guard.

He had on a white tunic with black leather trousers. His shaggy black hair was was unkempt form the edges, covering his left eye.

I didn't realise that I had been staring. As the man cleared his throat, I looked away.

"Who are you?" I asked, after I had recovered from my temporary state of shock.

He seemed to think about something for a minute before answering.

"You may call me Fang." he said, looking me straight in the eye, as if trying to measure my reaction. I looked back at him, matching the intensity of his gaze. Shaking his head, he looked way.

I raised an eyebrow at him in question. He didn't quiet seem to be grasping the idea that I, for one, did not know him, and two, he was in my quarters without permission.

By looking at his state, he seemed like one of the newly recruited servants The Emperor decides he needed, every once in a while. It seemed, that this time, he had hit somewhere hard, for "Fang" did not at all seem like an ordinary working-class person.

He must have seen the look on my face and smirked slightly. I gave him another questioning look, this guy really was dumb wasn't he. According to regular servant protocol, we were not allowed to socialise or even acknowledge another servant unless asked to or if it is necessary.

"I know that you probably have many questions, but right now, if you would please get me something to eat and drink, I have travelled from far, and wish to rest before we begin our journey." that seemed to be the longest he had spoken since I had discovered him in the corner. But that was beside the point.

Who did he think he was, ordering me around like that. I had too many restrictions and orders in my life as it is, as he seemed to think that I would listen to him and put myself in danger of a beating.

Again, as if he could read my mind, he smirked and said, "Do not worry, no one can see me unless I want them to. So you are safe of any punishment. And as for ordering you, well, I'm not exactly ordering you. It is common courtesy to serve a guest who has come from far away travels." smirking, yet again as he said the last part.

I stood there dumbfounded. How had he known my inner thoughts. Was I really that easy to read? I had swayed off track yet again.

What I didn't understand was why he thought of himself as a guest, and if he could not be seen by whom he did not want to, then why didn't he just get his own food?

Frustrated I let out a sigh and said, "Look, one, I'm already late to what we have of breakfast and will probably get a beating." I paused for a minute to see his reaction. His face was neutral, as it had been since I had seen him. "Two, we never get enough for one person to eat, let alone two! And three, what's in this for me?" I asked, getting annoyed at my lack of information regarding the situation.

"Lets see, you will be free of all of your duties for the rest of the day. I will help you escape and I will answer any questions I can, but just remember, some things are better not known."

I looked at him with a quizzically. Who was he to rid me of my duties for the day. But then, it did intrigue me to be set me free of this hell-hole.

I looked up to meet his gaze. Just for a second I saw a hint of begging in his eyes. As if he really needed me to cooperate. i thought for a second, considering the pros and cons of the situation. He seemed ok, i guess. And plus, form the look he was giving me, i should at least help him with food and a place to sleep.

So me being the caring person I was, decided to agree. What was it that he could know about me that i didn't already.
