I'm just a slave: chapter 12

Shadow's POV

I was allowed to stay out of bed and serve again a few weeks later. I could still hardly do anything with my left arm because it still hurt to much, but sonic was helping me use it again. I was glad he did that. Another thing i could be gratefull about. Someone else had to finish the work on the barn. And surprisingly they were able to finish it so soon, but then again, that person got way more help then i did.

I sighed and watched another family of high class arrive. This was annoying. I disliked these high classes alot. They think that they're so much better then everyone else. Especially slaves. Which was the main reason that i disliked them.

A servant took care of the new arrivals. I watched them go. I was glad i didn't have to take care of them. But soon i would find myself regretting not taking them instead. "slave 4405, this is surprising. i didn't think you would be working for my soon to be son-in-law." My heart skipped a beat upon hearing that voice. I turned to look in front of me again and saw the duke, the duchess and their daughter standing in front of me. The duke was the owner of the slave home i had been bought from. But he himself didn't sell the slaves though. He only came to check on the slave house if there were new slaves. So the first time i saw him was just a few days before i was bought by sonic's parents. And he was also the one who took me away from my mother. It wasn't he himself who did it. But he had been yelling at me because i didn't let go of my mother when i should be. And he got a bulky man to pull me away from her. I never saw her again after that.

I hated this man. He never gave me the chance to tell her goodbye. This guy had guts. Pulling innocent children away from their mothers just because they were slaves. I hated him with whole my heart. And what made my hate for him worse. Was the fact that sonic's 'soon-to-be-wife' was his daughter. "well well well, i never thought that you would be bought by such a nice family, slave 4405. judging by what gender you are, i thought that you would be ending up as a bed slave instead." He chuckled and made a servant put away his coat along with that of the duchess and their daughter. "go on, slave 4405, lead us to the ballroom." He said. "of course, sir." I said, trying my best not to growl, and lead them to the room they were expected in.

I had a tough time leading him without almost giving in to my desire to punch him in the jaw. But that would be no good for my left arm, since i'm a lefty. Much to my relief i had found the ball room pretty soon. Sonic came towards us and the duke praised him for coming to greet him. But unknown to him, sonic came to see me. Sonic gave him direction of where his parents were and the duke quickly followed them. I walked out of the ballroom and so did sonic after closing the door behind him. "are you okay?" he asked referring to my arm. "yes, i am fine." I said. "i'm sorry about the duke." He said and rubbed my shoulder. Both he and his parents knew that it was the duke's slave house i came from. "it's okay." I said and looked around. I saw no one around and so decided that it was okay to give a quick hug before going back to the front of the mansion to welcome new guests. I smiled as there was no one in sight and quickly wrapped my arms around him in an embrace. Sonic did the same and snuggled his muzzle into my neck. We both thought that we were alone. But little did we know that we were being watched.
