Where We Left Off...
"Please!" she begged, tears filling up in her eyes. "W-we met O-ouji-sama! Please sir! We had f-forgotten all about the pail! A-and...s-since I am the o-oldest of the two...it was m-my fault. I should have taken notice of the pail miss-"
"Get in." he said coldly, pointing at the door of the house.
Serina was trembling from head to foot as she entered into the house with her master following behind and Liana about to walk in when-
"Liana." said their master. "Go get the whip."
Now Read on...
-
Liana fell to her knees and grabbed the hem of her master's skirt. "Please! Please master, don't!" she begged.
"Get me the whip now." he demanded.
"I...c-can't..." whispered Liana, her whole body trembling with fear. "I....I...cannot..."
He kicked off her hands. "Fine then! I shall get it myself!" he roared, turning around and walking out the door to retrieve his whip. When he returned he ordered Serina to face the wall and not to look at him. Liana turned her face away, tears rolling down her cheeks, but but her master grabbed her chin and turned her face sharply. "You watch!" he spat. "Watch her suffer and learn!"
He turned back to face Serina.
The stinging pain as the whip made contact with her skin was all Serina could feel. She bit her lip.
"Why don't you cry slave?" whispered her master cruelly, stalking around on the spot. When she didn't reply he whipped her again.
Liana whimpered. He lashed out with the whip again and again. "Cry!" he spat. "Groan with pain! Scream!" he ordered. Serina stayed silent. He kept whipping her til she started to moan softly, the back of her shirt torn to pieces, slashes of blood on her back, dripping onto the floor around her feet.
"Please Serina!" begged her sister. "Do what he wants! Please sister!"
But Serina didn't say anything. After a few more minutes, her master stopped and went outside and came back in with his jug of water. "Look this way, slave." he whispered coldly. As Serina turned to face him, he threw the cold water remaining in the jug at her. Instantly, the stinging of the water in her wounds pained her and made her want to scream out in pain...but she knew better than that. She simply kept quiet and stared blankly at the floor, and the master, who was unsatisfied with this response, threw the jug at her hitting her on the shoulder. "Wash up this mess-" he motioned to the blood on the floor that was now mixing with the water he had just thrown. "-and then go to your rooms."
Then without another word, he turned and slumped off to his room, obviously disappointed. As soon as he disappeared, Liana rushed to her sister's side, who had fallen to her knees and now was groaning with pain.
"Sister...are you okay?" asked Liana.
"No." was the short reply.
"Come sister, allow me to tend to your wounds." offered the younger sister. "And then, I shall clean the floor so you may rest." she added.
Serina gave a watery smile. "I'd like that."
-
There was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
"It is only I sister." came the reply.
"Then come in."
Liana opened the door and noticed Serina lying on her stomach on the bed, having a difficult time trying to fall asleep. She stepped into the room and just stared at her sister admiringly. After a while, Serina finally noticed and asked her what was wrong. "Nothing." Liana answered shaking her head and then grinning at her older sister. "Oh Serina...you're so brave...and I......am........."
"Over doing the admiring." continued Serina, grinning from ear to ear. She patted a bit of the bed beside her. Understanding, Liana imediately sat down beside her sister.
A moments silence...then....
"Sister, why did you call the Pharaoh, Ouji-sama?" asked Liana with a sly grin her her face.
Serina's cheeks became a fair shade red. "Um...um...well...I...hey, he was a prince once!" she said defencively.
"Once sister. Once." Liana said, an even more sly look on her face. "Isn't his name Dark? And I mean to say, mean Dark?"
"I do believe so."
"Well then I don't believe that is his true name...maybe he created it when we were to leave...do you not think so?" asked Liana.
"....it is possible..."
"Do you think he said it just to--grabyourattention." Liana asked, saying the last line of the sentence extremely fast.
"...............dear sister......do not make me hurt you......." Serina ordered, sending a death glare at Liana.
".........but sister......I thought you said you fancied the Pharaoh?" asked Liana confused.
Pink in the face, Serina answered heatedly: "I thought I never said such a thing."
Liana shrugged and that ended the conversation.
A moment's silence...then...
"Well, do you like him?" Liana asked looking at her sister closely.
Serina sighed and gave Liana a small smile. "Even if I did dear sister...I would have no chance..."
"Why would you not? You are smart, good-looking..."
Shaking her head, the older girl sighed again before continuing. "We are but so different...he a Pharaoh...I a slave...even if he cared he would never marry me..." muttered Serina.
"But why would he not?" demanded Liana.
"Because he is pharaoh and I am a slave." Serina explained bluntly. She sighed once more and rested her chin on her folded arms. "We...can never be..." she added sadly.
Liana stared at her sister frowning, not understanding the situation. 'We'll get away one day sister. When the oppurtunity comes we shall run away and you shall marry the Pharaoh and I shall become a great magician and protect us from our evil master. I promise.' Liana thought to herself as she watched her sister slowly fall asleep.
-
"WAKE UP!!!!" shouted the master as he pounded on the two girl's bedroom door. Groaning, the two girl's awoke after a few minutes of loud shouting and pounding and answered to their master. He puffed out his chest as far as he could and the sisters looked at each other with worry. What had they done now? What had gotten master into this bad mood? "Today we have a...visitor..." their master said through gritted teeth. "Do come and serve our visitor, Serina." he ordered.
Serina blinked and stared at her master and exchanged looks of disbelief with Liana. Had she heard her master right? Did he call her by her true name? It was the first time since the day he bought her had he called her Serina. Shaking off the disbelief, Serina imediately went to do her master's bidding.
'I wonder...who could this visitor be?' Serina thought as she made her way to the dinning.
Liana stepped toward her master. "And how about I, sir?"
Turning to her the master nodded. "Liana, you shall tend to my daughter. She arrived a little before our visitor did. She is waiting in the guests room."
Shaking off her disbelief as well, Liana started to the guests room but then was clouded with disbelief again. This time it was disbelief that anyone would have a child with her master, let alone marry him! She began to worry if the master's daughter was as heartless as he was.
Gripping the door handle, she turned it, opening the door very slowly just in case the daughter......
"Hello." said a sweet voice. Liana's jaw dropped to see a short-haired brunette, with blue eyes, who looked nothing like her father. "What is your name?" she asked.
"I am Liana."
"That's a nice name." grinned the daughter. "How do you do?"
"No, fine lady...how do you do?" Liana smiled shyly, not believing she had thought unjust things about this girl.
The girl smiled back. "Fine thankyou. And by the by, my name is Anzu."
"Well...nice to meet you...Anzu..." Liana said, breaking into a grin.
-
Serina entered the kitchen and felt her jaw drop.
A moments silence...then...
"Serina stop that, you may as well attract flies." smiled a raven-haired, blue eyed lady.
"How did you know my name...?" gasped Serina.
"Simple." replied the lady. "I own the Millenium Necklace, and I am the priestess of the 'HOT HOT' pharaoh himself."
For a response, Serina smiled shyly, red in the face.
