Oh oh oh! Two chapters uploaded together! But this one is quite brief...
CHAPTER 4 : PHILOSOPHY
It's dark in the room and she hardly sees the black outline of Thade, who is standing in front of the cage.
"Listen to me" he says "don't think that you'll get a better treatment just because of what the others have said tonight. But some of them seem to be impressed by your... sounds. Be ready to come upstairs often."
"Yes", the girl says, and Thade turns and goes away, but suddenly he turns back again and, as quick as lightning, he grabs the girl's neck.
"It seems I don't scare you at all. Do I scare you, now?"
The girl's breath gets a little faster, and Thade can feell her heartbeat through the veins of her throat. The girl whispers:
"I don't like to be scared."
There's only a pale blade of light coming through a small window near the ceiling. So the only thing they see of each other are their eyes, and Thade's ones look hard and cold as steel.
"You'd better get more used to fear" he hisses "because it's the only thing that could ever save your filthy ass. Have I been clear?" and he releases her, but he stays in front of the cell. /Maybe he's expecting an answer/, the girl thinks, and she whispers again:
"I didn't want to be disrespectful. I've just tried to answer your question."
"Do you think 'I don't like to be scared' is actually an answer?" Thade says, and his words are full of distaste. This is just another confirmation of humans' stupidity.
The girl tries to stay cool, and goes on:
"I mean that most of the humans live their lives in fear, desperation and hate towards the apes. None of these feelings is pleasant or useful, so I try not to feel them."
There is a long moment of silence, while Thade simply keeps staring at his slave. Her reasoning has some logic, after all.
"Ah, I've spent even too much time here" Thade concludes, and this time he really goes away.
