A/N I know that I took absolutely aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggeeeeeeeesssssssss to
update but ive noticed that no other author is updating either and that my
story remains at the top of the list.
Well anywayz if I don't get at least 7 reviews for this chapter im not updating so until I get 7 reviews no chapter 7 (mwhahahaha another excuse not to update)
Another reason I took so long to update is that I keep getting Gateway Timeouts on my browser.
Also I know that my chapters are short but I cant make them any longer because if I make them to long I get writers block and I dont know what to put into the next chapter.
Can I also ask if anyone can try and find time to check out some of my fics on fictionpress, I go by the same penname and since I'm the only Hotkitty it'll be easy to find.
They're all 2 chapter stories so far but Ive got chapter 3 planned out and written up on paper for Destinies Hand and Im working on it for Over The Rainbow. But to actually post them up I'd appreciate if anyone would bother to read and maybe even review them and the chapters are much longer than the ones on this fic.
So enjoy the chappie and REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! PS I know this chapters going to be a bit scruffy but its because I have been suffering from writers block so please do forgive me my readers.
Chapter 6
Settling in
''So how long do you intend to stay in the village?'' asked James.
''Im not sure,'' replied Merloch stretching his arms. The night had been slightly uncomfortable due to him sleeping on the floor so he felt quite stiff in an awful lot of places.
''Well mate if you intend to stay here long you're going to need a job because I cant manage you, me, Elise and your wife on my salary so you're going to need some money.''
''What do you suggest?'' asked Merloch.
''Well im going to town today to sell some crops so you can come with me and we'll find you a job there and whilst we're at it we'll buy some village clothing for Miss Sara because if she's going to help Elle with the work she wont want to be wearing all of those posh garments.''
Merloch hurriedly agreed, had breakfast and made his way to the village with James.
Sara woke up early in the morning and was surprised to find that she was in a four poster bed in a dark room.
She heaved herself out off bed and opened the shutters then remembered the mission.
Merloch was no longer in the room and all that was left of where he lay was a pillow and a ruffled blanket.
Sara did her bed and folded up his blankets neatly stacking them in a corner and opened the cupboard to find something to wear.
She then made her way downstairs (dressed in a plain dark green gown) and found Elise sitting at the stove preparing breakfast.
''So you are awake Sara, you can clean the dishes from last night then whilst I prepare lunch.''
Sara obediently did as she was told.
''Where's Merloch?'' she asked.
''He's gone with James to the village to find a job.''
''Oh.''
Meanwhile James and Merloch were making their way to the village.
It wasn't that far away but it took a while to reach it.
It was quite a small village with a great bazaar in the middle and farther away was from the village was the great black castle that Merloch had seen earlier.
When they reached the village Merloch saw this as an opportunity to ask James about the castle.
''It belongs to the ruler of our country, no one has actually seen him apart from the few who work in that place but whoever works there stays in there so us ordinary folk don't get to talking with them lot and we get on with our own lives. But there are great punishments for those who are heard insulting or trying to rebel against him. He is called The Master by us people since we do not know of his true identity and only his family will call him by his true name and if anyone else is caught using his name the punishment is quite severe.''
''Do you know his real name?'' questioned Merloch as they reached the village boundary.
''Ofcourse I do but no one dares say it for if you are caught the punishment is death or a day in the stocks.''
''Could you by any chance tell me?'' asked Merloch.
Merloch knew that he was asking to many questions but he couldn't help but feel curious. He recognised this place and all of these rules somehow from somewhere but he just couldn't put his finger on it.
It was as if a part of his mind was locked and he needed some sort of clue to open that lock, and this information might just be the key to get his mind working and access that part of his memories.
''Well, I'll tell you on the way back. We cant risk getting heard in these parts,'' replied James uneasily. ''Now come on and let's find you a job and get this product of mine sold in the bazaar.''
With no further argument Merloch followed James. He could wait and as soon as they would leave the village at the end of the day he would make sure to ask James about The Master.
It was quite easy to find a good paying job in the village, as there were many openings.
Merloch was working in the bazaar and helping with the sales.
It was only part time and it earned just enough to support him and Sara. It wasn't as if he needed a very excellent job since they didn't intend to stay in this era for to long.
Merloch was told that he had to come in the morning and work until 4 o'clock.
On the way back he suddenly remembered what James had promised him.
James had obviously been avoiding this and had been hoping that Merloch had forgotten but Merloch's memory wasn't that bad.
''So tell me what is his name?'' he asked.
James gulped. ''Don't tell anyone that I told you,''
''Don't worry I wont,'' replied Merloch.
''Well his name is, its well,'' James leaned his head closer to Merloch and whispered in his ear.
''Verloch..''
And then the lock clicked.
''He remembers does he,'' said The Master.
''Y-yes sir. Well slightly his memory is coming back to him,'' replied the servant.
''Good, well call for Odaiya. Tell him it is time. Of course first of all I want the girl, do you understand?''
''Y-yes sir.''
''You do understand the penalty if you fail my servant.''
''Of course.''
''Perfect..'' he hissed as the servant left the room. ''Everything is going exactly as I planned.''
