Kiera made her way across the docks and sat down, dangling her feet over the water. She had just gotten in a huge fight with her boyfriend and she was sulking about the fact they were no longer going out. Something placed it's hand on her shoulder.
"Your soul shows signs of weakness"
Kiera whipped around and was facing a tall gorgeous man holding what looked like a spray painted stick.
"Who the hell are you?" She demanded her eyes narrowing.
"Marik Ishtar, I am in need of servants…"
"And why am I going to serve a weirdo stranger carrying a plastic gold plated stick, what is it suppose to be a "magik wand"?"
Marik looked taken a back.
"Stick?! How-" he bit his tongue. "I will force you to join me then!"
"Why me? Why not someone else? And serve you for what? Do you even have an occupation, you look like the average Joe in the bar, and if your going for more of a demented look a suggest you tone it down on all the hair spray and maybe bleach out all the dye in your hair"
"What? This is my true color and I don't use hair spray I-…. Just obey me and you will not be hurt and don't ask questions or-" he paused and noticed she was applying lipstick and looking into a compact.
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm listening"
He knocked the compact and lipstick into the ocean.
"Oh my gosh! You are like so mean!" She turned to the ocean and watched as her compact slowly drifted to the bottom.
Marik lifted his millennium rod and Kiera suddenly fell limp to the ground.
She re-awoke in a bed Marik hovering over her. Kiera got to her feet immediately.
"You evil person, first you waste a perfect compact THEN you knock me unconscious with your golden club!"
Marik gritted his teeth. "It is a millennium rod, NOT A STICK OR CLUB!"
"Suuuuure, now could you get me outta here, I have better things to do"
"You will serve me, sweep, cook, deliver, clean, anything I command you to do"
Well it's not like I have life to go home to… and he could easily force me to stay
"Whatever" She snapped.
"Odion!" he called, a man rushed in standing beside him.
"Yes Master?"
"Show… your name?"
"Kiera"
"Show Kiera around, and tell her what's to be done"
"Of course master!" And he left the room, indicating for Kiera to follow.
------About an hour later-------
"Now you will be serving about 28 rare-hunters, myself, and the master, now get to work" Odion said leaving the kitchen.
"Ok, I can cook, this should be easy…" She got out some fish she found in the fridge and slapped it on the pan. "Now for a fancy spice… hmmm ooh what's this, sounds yummy" she pulled a small container from the rack and poured it over all the now cooked, finished, and ready to eat fish. She took the plates one by one and set them at the table.
"Eats!" she called out. The dining hall filled almost at once. Hungry rare-hunters sat filled the empty seats ready to dig in. Marik entered, and sat at his seat giving a solemn look. Odion wandered in as well seating himself next to Marik. Marik nodded and everyone but himself and dug in. Before tasting the fish Kiera wanted to see all the looks on the rare hunters faces'. But to her surprise they all fell limp into their plates. Marik's face turned red.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
"Nothing!" Kiera snapped.
"WHAT DID YOU FEED THEM!?"
"Fish"
"What spices did you use??????"
"Hmmm something called… chlor- crol-" she said trying to pronounce it. "Chloroform! That's it chloroform!"
"YOU IDOT!"
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MEAN AND YELL!" she pouted.
"CHLOROFORM? CHLOROFORM? CHLOROFORM???"
"And?!"
"Chloroform is sleep concoction, to much could even kill a person.Where did you get it from?" He said trying to control his rage.
"The spice rack"
"You IDIOT! That's a poison shelf, I even labeled it a billion times, did you not see the HUGE BLACK LETTERS written across that cabinet?!"
"Ooooooooh, so that's what those scribbles were. You need to neaten up your handwriting you know, so people can actually understand you" she said smiling.
Marik took his plate and threw it across the room almost squarely hitting Kiera in the head.
"Hey what was that for? I haven't done anything wrong, and what if I didn't have insurance?"
"Didn't do anything wrong…. Yeah whatever" he hissed stomping outside.
"Well I didn't!" she called after him.
It was about an hour later when the dining room was completely clean. Kiera had cleared all the plates and brushed up the shattered plate. But the rare hunters slept soundly in there spots. Odion was first toawaken.
"What happened?" He demanded, "Where's the Master?"
"Reeking havoc I assume, he's mad about nothing, tsk tsk he should be able to control that rage of his. Hey I have a good idea, for his next birthday you should buy him anger management classes. Gee I'm so smart!"
Odion just glared. "What happened to them?" he said indicating to the rare hunters.
"Oh it was only an accident"
"WHAT was an accident?" he growled.
"Hmph, both of you need management classes! I'll make you an appointment right now!" She said turning to leave.
Odion placed his hand on her shoulder. "What happened to them?!"
"Listen everyone has problems, I'm very sorry that you can't sort it out but I'm here to help you, I'm you friend and so is your counselor. It's ok it's not your fault"
"WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Ok we'll start out by letting loose all your anger, you really shouldn't keep emotions bottled up inside so maybe you should go stomp around, or scream into a pillow, y'know that's always helped me, and remember we don't want any suicidal thoughts inside your head ok?"
"I AM NOT SUICIDAL!"
"Suuuuuuure you aren't hunny, now let's focus on good thoughts ok? But I'm not paying for you when you're in a mental institute, you can leave that up to "All mighty Master Marik" " she mocked.
Odion picked up a chair ready to hit Kiera over the head.
"Stop!" Yelled Marik as he entered the room. "It wouldn't be good if she were killed now would it?"
"No Master, I regret what I have done Master"
"Good, now you Kiera… come with me"
Kiera nodded following.
"Well well well, you've made quite an impression" Marik hissed continuing on through the corridors.
"Well you're the stupid bastard who put me here in the first place. Oops did I say bastard I meant Master" she said sarcastically.
"Oh how amusing" He spat stopping dead short of a large door. "This is my bedroom, I'll need you to repaint the walls tomorrow but for now I need you to clean my room"
"Clean up your mess?"
"Yes"
Kiera muttered something and got to work while Marik lay on his bed reading.
"What are you reading?" Kiera asked while dusting off the wardrobe.
"Steven King, Pet Cemetery"
"How could you read something so scary? I'd have nightmares for weeks"
"Well I'm tough, yep nothing really phases me"
Kiera rolled her eyes and continued working. It was pitch dark outside when she had finished. Marik was still reading.
"Night" he said eyes darting back and forth as he continued reading.
"But wait where's my room?" she asked.
"Next door down" he said.
She nodded and went into her room. It was a bit smaller then Marik'sandit didn't have a canopy bed, just a twin sized one shoved in the corner. Her closet was filled with rare hunter's clothing and nothing else. She sighed, changed into some pajamas and crawled into bed.
She was sleeping soundly until she felt something warm against her back.
"Hi" said Marik, smiling sheepishly.
"What are you doing in my bed???" she asked.
Marik gulped. "I had dead cats and toddlers dancing in my head"
"Oh yeah nothing phases you, you had nightmares about Pet Cemetery huh?"
"Night" he said without answering. He turned over so quickly that Kiera didn't have a chance to say anything. But the next moment he found himself on the floor.
"Ouchies"
"Sleep down there if you're to scared. Oh and here" She threw him a couple of extra blankets.
"Thanks"
"Oh and Mari-" but he had already fallen asleep, snoring ever so loudly.
Kiera looked down at him all tangled in blankets sucking his thumb and silently laughed. So this is what "Master" is really like… hmmm he's so cute when he sleeps, guess I better go to sleep too she thought and turned over falling immediately asleep.
When she awoke she was quite groggy. The sun shined through her window brightly and warmed the room. Marik appeared to already up; an empty cocoon of blankets lay on the floor. She pulled herself out of bed and made her way to the door immediately greeted by Odion.
"I am here to escort you to Master Marik's room, which you will be painting"
"But I'm HUNGRY" she whined.
"You will be fed after your job" He snapped leading her into Marik's room, in which sat a can of paint. "Start by painting this wall maroon-red and continue onto the others"
"Fine"
Odion left Kiera with a can of paint and a brush.
"Damn Odion, won't even let me eat" She picked up a brush and began to paint.
----------Three Hours Later----------
"There all done!" Kiera said proudly her smile broadening.
"Are you done?" Asked Marik coming into his room.
"Oh yes, don't you think it's beautiful?"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
"What do you mean? Don't you like it?"
"Do I like it??? Why didn't you use the colors Odion told you?!"
"I did, he said paint this wall maroon and I did, so then I painted the rest purple! I'm so happy! It's so pretty!"
"You dumb-ass, you were supposed to paint ALL the walls MAROON!"
"Odion said all I had to do was this one!"
"What did he say exactly?"
"Start by painting this wall maroon-red and continue onto the others. And I did!"
"Oh my god!"
"What?"
"Can you do anything right?"
"Yes"
"What?"
"Give haircuts"
"Yeah just what I need, a haircut"
"Really?"
"No, I was being sarcastic. I want you to repaint it right now"
"But I'm hungry!!! And it's so pretty!"
"Fine go eat"
"Yay, thank you you're the best!" She kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the room screaming. Eggs! Sausages! Cake! YAY!
