Lotus Flowers
Chapter 2
This chapter takes place 2 years later. Babus is 10 and Cassidy is 7.
Babus Swain walks up to Berveina Palace. Cassidy stands beside him, her green skirt billowing in the hot breeze. Babus sighs and walks to the omnious building. "Hey!" The man in the guard tower sticks his head out of the window. "What do you want, kid?" "I am here to apply for a job as servant! My name is Babus Swain!" "Who's that with you?" "My sister Cassidy!" "............Okay!" The man lets Babus and Cassidy in.
"Booo! Send in the next applicant!" Queen Remedi calls out. Babus is pushed into the large, cavernous room. He falls foward, onto his knees. The Queen looks dissappointed and critical. "So, kid, humor me. WHY exactly should I hire you?" "I-I promise to serve and protect you and anyone else you desire. I promise to serve you in anyway I can. I'll always come when you call. Cassidy and I don't take up muh space or eat alot. Cassidy can almost take care of herself now." "Who's Cassidy?" "M-my baby sister." "......Child, you stutter. Come back when you grow a spine," Remedi turns. "NEXT!" A guard escorts Babus out of the room. He is stunned. When he is outside, he cries, but somewhere where Cass can't see him. "....Momma, Poppa........I've failed.........I-I can't take care of Cassidy.........She's better off without me....." Undeknownst to Babus, Cassidy was standing behind him. She puts her hand on his sholder. Babus jumps out of his skin. "Oh Ultima, Cassidy! Don't sneak up on me like that!" "How did it go?" "...............................I didn't get the job..........." Cassidy sighs. "Don't worry Babus......we'll be OK...." He puts his arms around Cassidy. "Thankyou Cassidy......" "Why exactly didn't you get the job?" "They said I stutter too much.....they told me to come back when I grow a spine......" Judge Master Cid walks too Babus and Cassidy. "Hey kid. Nobody else is anybetter. Queen Remedi said to get you come back. She wants you to work there. "Can Cassidy come too?" "Okay. I'll arrange it."
Babus and Cassidy are led into the palace. Babus is taken to a different room and given new clothes. His servant uniform is a drab brown. His robe is a little(actually, quite a bit) too big for him. Cid uses a rope to tie it to him better. He is given a pair of large boots. He is then led to a small room that he and Cassidy will share. As Cassidy sleeps. Babus sits in the window, staring out over the courtyard. 'It's amazing,' he thinks, 'just this morning, Cass and I lived on the street. Now we live in the palace.' He sighs. 'I hope everything will be "okay"........' He looks down at his feet. '..............................even if it DOES come to that, I have to grin and bear it.....for Cassidy's sake....'
Ooooh! What does Babus mean?
