Chapter 8:

He took me back to the Palace. I cried for hours. I don't know how many days have passed, but I do know today was the worst day of my life.

Marron laid down on her huge, pink-sheeted bed and closed her eyes.

"I wish I could just erase everything from my mind. Everything Tai has ever put me through. I hate this life, Jadisa." cried Marron.

Jadisa was one of my many servants, Tai had working for me.

Jadisa laid a long gown on the bed.

"Marron. I don't understand what you're a crying about. I'd give anything to be like you." said Jadisa softly. Marron opened her eyes and sat up.

"Why? I'm no different than you." said Marron. Jadisa sat on the bed beside Marron.

"Well, you're prettier than me. Smarter then me. Nicer, stronger, braver, happier, and RICHER than me." complained Jadisa. Marron could tell by the tone in her voice she was getting angry.

"The only reason I'm rich is because Tai gave me the money and the only reason I'm "pretty" is because I have to get a huge makeover EVERYDAY! If Tai didn't own me, I'd be broke, weak, stupid, and ugly." said Marron. Jadisa stood up.

"Well, I'd wish he'd get rid of you. You're stubborn and stuck-up." with that Jadisa left the room.

'What? What is she talking about? Why does everyone think that? Grr! I hate this life. How did I get my self into this…'

"Marron, it's time for dinner." A voice called interrupting her thoughts. Marron stood up and picked up the gown.

"I guess I better get ready!" she said out loud.

I guess I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, cause what I heard next was a matter of life and death.

Marron walked down the stairs in the gown Jadisa left for her. She stopped when she heard Tai and Akira's voices. She listened.

"Why do you keep her here, Tai? Why don't you just kill her? She's useless and stupid." complained Akira.

Marron gasped. 'Kill me?'

Tai rolled his eyes.

"Jealous are we?" asked Tai.

"No. I'm just sick of that useless bitch walking around here. She can't even get married without crying or screwing it up." complained Akira.

Marron clutched her fist together by her side. 'BITCH?'

"She wants to be free." laughed Tai.

"Ha. There's something that will NEVER happen. I can't believe she even wastes her time crying about it. I think we should sell her." said Akira.

'SELL ME??? What are they talking about? She wants him to sell me?' Marron started back up stairs, but stop when Tai responded.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow, Akira. Until then we need to watch what we say in front of her. If she gets enough people to rebel against us, we'll be easily overthrown. And who knows what they do to us if they find out what we are planning to do." explained Tai.

"You've got a point there." said Akira.

"But, I have an idea. I've given her exactly 8 days to find a guy to marry. If she doesn't find him in that time, she goes back." explained Tai.

'Right, I forgot about that.' thought Marron.

"WHAT? You'll actually make her go back. YES! This is the happiest day of my life. Well, it's the second happiest. The first, will be when SHE GOES BACK!" celebrated Akira.

'Grr…I'll show her…'

"Don't celebrate TOO soon. She might find a guy. I mean all she has to do is find a guy, make him like her, explain what is going on, and then he'll accept. And you'll feel really stupid." said Tai.

'THAT'S IT!'

"You're right." said Akira.

Marron slowly went back up the stairs. She ran into her room and slammed the door. She locked it and jumped onto her bed.

'That's it. Ill just find a guy, explain, and get married. AND I'll BE FREE! YES! I can't wait to see the look on Tai's face. I can't wait…'

That was my plan!

I know…I know! You guys basically read everything you've already read. But I had to explain what was going on. BTW, don't worry. This story is FAR from over.
