A/N: Sorry for the very long wait, please forgive me.... It's just those stupid exams, I need to study because I have been neglecting certain responsibilities... It probably won't happen again...I hope...well enough talking, here's the chapter!
Chapter 3: The new life
Harry woke up from a nightmare, again. They were becoming like a routine since he came to this place...the place that he now called home. He thought about his past with the Dursleys, it was a lot more worse than what he was experiencing now. The fact that he now lived in a place were there wasn't a single human being, except himself ,didn't help but at least elves weren't as cruel as the Dursleys... and they kind of looked like humans...and he was free to wander around the city when he was done with his work... , in fact, he was way better off here, he concluded. However, there was only one, but major, downside to his current life, he was labeled as a slave. It wasn't really a harsh job but more of a "house maid" kind of a job: gardening, fixing fences, cleaning up stuff and pretty much any kind of manual labor. Of course, he didn't get paid for any of it, the only thing he got was three meager meals a day and a a roof over his head. He didn't mind the work, he was already used to it with the Dursleys, but what he hated was his status. Slaves weren't very respected, in fact, they weren't at all, they were treated as the scum of the society. It was taboo to talk about it but the people tried, in subtle ways, to take off any dignity they had: giving them queer looks, always placing them in the furthest spot during a public event, harsh language... On the other hand, he wasn't the only one. There where many slaves in this elf city. Most of them were descendents of prisoners of war, because now, due to the alarming decrease in pure blood elf population, the numerous clans had decided to unite, making everlasting peace so that they can live unnoticed by muggles and wizards all around the world. Harry had even made a friend with one of them. His name was Feon. Well he wasn't really a friend, the only thing that separated him from the others was that he treated Harry with less disgust than the others, something near sympathy. Even slaves, thought less worse, had a grudge against humans.
It was now approximately 5 in the morning, according to the solar clock he drew on the floor beside his shabby bed. Harry wanted go outside, to get some well needed fresh air, and mostly to enjoy some solitude in the forest, without people looking at him all the time and slipping snide remarks. After that he could start his domestic chores before Cirgon, his master, would get up.
Cirgon wasn't really mean with Harry, all he wanted was that Harry finishes his work as asked and that he be left alone. The less contact the better. The first few weeks, when he arrived, he tried to ask him questions on how he got here, why and, although he didn't care much, what in the world happened to the Dursley's. His master never answered him properly, always saying that he would find out in due time...
Pushing those thoughts out his mind, Harry continued his journey towards the outer limits of the city, were the dark forest laid. The forest was known to harbor dangerous creatures, some deadly and that was the reason Harry went there. Everyone was afraid to go there and that gave Harry the perfect opportunity to have some peace and quiet. Strangely enough, Harry had never encountered any dangerous creatures, yet, because today, his streak of luck was about to end...
