A Struggle For Freedom
A/N~ This is my first fan fic so please be nice and don't forget to review.
Another A/N~ I know this chapter is short but the next one will be longer.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except for Jade. This is based on the books written by Tamora Pierce. Do not sue me I have no money.
Jade had just finished making the bed in one of the many guest quarters, when she sat down in the wooden chair by the window. She glanced out the window and saw a beautiful sunset of pinks and purples beyond the lushes' trees of green. Jade wished she were back home under this sun right now. The one-hour bell rang interrupting Jade's thoughts. Jade reluctantly forced herself out of the chair if she didn't get back to work soon she would get into trouble. In all likely hood a beating from one of the palace many guards. Jade allowed herself one more look out the window before leaving the room to go about her chores.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jade laid awake that night in her bed among the other palace servants listening to their deep breathing. Jade couldn't help but to think back home to a time when she would have been playing with her sister Kasey under the sun of the last few days of summer. It had been over a year since that dreadful day when Kasey and her Ma and Da had been taken from her. Bandits had raided her village in northwest Tortall, killing the men and taking the woman and children to be sold as salves. Her mother and tried to protect her and Kasey, as a result one of the bandits struck her in the heart with an arrow killing her instantly. She never saw Kasey after that, but prayed everyday that she was ok. It felt like a lifetime ago but yet at the same time a lot less then a year. With one last thought of Tortall and whishing she could be free once more she drifted off to sleep.
A/N~ Please review, what do you think should I continue or just give up?
