Ch 14!
In strolled Cham, into the room he had previously left Bzema in the night before.
He was taking his morning walk (the only thing he enjoyed beside his daughter Yamia) when suddenly he saw something peculiar.
His eyebrows furrowed as he bent to pick it up, "A washcloth?" Suddenly his sleepy head woke up, "The slave girl is gone!!" He left running to Rezla's room and jerked her door open.
"What is SHE doing in here?!" Cham yelled in fury to his youngest daughter.
(It was morning, soon to be time for breakfast.)
Cham stormed in and firmly took hold of Bzema's left hand.
Rezla opened her eyes in fear and shock unable to find words at the moment at the sudden action.
Bzema yelled in surprise as her body was dragged out of the room by her hand, which was turning a slight red from the fierce grip.
"You shut-up. As I said earlier, this girl is still to be severely punished for running away. Good day to you daughter." He said, frowning hard. And the door was slammed shut.
Rezla ran up to the door and bawled when she realized she was locked in. (The doors can only be locked from the outside in the palace.)
"Nooo! Do not hurt her father!!" She yelled through the door as loudly as she could. She cried as she slid down the door to the floor. Crying into her hands, soaking them, "No..."
"What was that?" Blossom asked suddenly in her room.
"What was what?" Bubbles asked coolly.
"I thought I heard yelling and... and...."
"Crying?" Bubbles stood up hearing it also.
Both girls looked at each other and ran (not flew) out of the room. They rushed down the long halls trying to find where the crying.... No... crying from two different directions were coming from.
"Who could be crying?" Bubbles asked her sister.
"There are two of them!" Blossom gasped.
They both stopped in front of a large door where they now heard soft whimpering.
"Anyone in there?" Blossom asked, knocking on the door.
"Oh...?" Rezla asked. Then it occurred to her, "yes! It's me! Rezla. I am locked in my room!"
"Hold on. We'll get you out!" Bubbles yelled, as Blossom was about to eyebeam the doorknob off.
"How?" Rezla questioned. Then the door flung open and her melted doorknob fell to the floor with a klunk.
Rezla looked up at the two girls wide-eyed, "You broke my door... but how is that?!" Then her mood shifted drastically and she forgot what she just said, "Please help! My friend, Bzema, was dragged out of here literally to be punished brutally by father!"
"Sorry Rez. But the professor told us not to interfere until we learn more about this situation." Blossom apologized.
"But she is!" She waved her arms to try and prove her point, "She is a slave to my family and gets little to eat, to wear..." Tears filled up her eyes as she spoke.
Bubbles's lower lip trembled, "Oh..."
"Where is she now?" Blossom questioned her, taking charge.
"That I do not know," Rezla replied somberly, "and this palace is so large that it will take too long to find her. Once you do... she might as well be done for."
"We heard her crying though besides yours that is," said Bubbles.
"You... did? How could that be?" Rezla asked her, confused.
"Oh. Um well... we have super powers Rezla. Our professor created us in a lab. We have many special abilities such as flight, laser vision, and stuff like that." Blossom answered her, smiling. (A little proud Blossom? Lol)
Rezla nodded slowly at the news, "All right... but please. Do make haste! I'll come with!" She stood up unsteadily, and all three left hurriedly.
